Is this a bug?
by Adam Tong
Hi,
After installing F15, I found a problem that did not happen in the previous versions.
If I start fedora without being wired to internet it freezes after startup. Cannot move the mouse to get in.
I have to reboot and connect it (with the wire) to internet.
Do you have any suggestions?

What Determines Order?
by Gene Poole
I've got a mother board with 2 embedded ethernet ports. I also have an
PCI ethernet expansion board on this machine.
My question is how can I control who is eth0, eth1, and eth2? I'm running
Fedora 13.
Thanks,
Gene Poole

any way to control disk order?
by Robert McBroom
My poor old system died, and I resurrected it by moving the disks to an older
system. For who knows what reason, the kernel has decided to call the external
USB drive I use for backups /dev/sda (the old system called it /dev/sdc). My
internal sata disks are being called /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. This screws with
things like hddtemp where you have to give it args like /dev/sda /dev/sdb. I
don't suppose there is any available mechanism for forcefully inducing the
kernel to enumerate removable drives last? .................
Plug it in after booting.

Non-YouTube videos don't work in F15
by Bob McClure Jr
A few weeks ago I upgraded from Fedora 13 to Fedora 15. This was an
on-line upgrade (using preupgrade) not a fresh install. Not
surprisingly, several things are broken. This is an AMD Athlon 64
machine with 2GB of RAM.
Initially, I couldn't get any videos to work, but a web search led me
to a solution for YouTube videos so they are fine, but non-YouTube
videos come up with white or black screen and no controls, nada. This
is while running Firefox.
What do I need to look for?
Cheers,

We've been told by one of our Red Hat reps that it includes most of what
you've listed but also some new management functionality, which I guess is
equivalent to VMware vCenter.

F15 cannot unmount shares with usermount
by Frank Murphy
Watch for line wraps:
from fstab:
mynas://nfs/store01 /home/users/Net01 nfs
rw,users,noauto,hard,intr 0 0
when I use a launcher to mount with /usr/bin/usermount
It mounts, but cannot umount
"umount: /home/users/Net01 mount disagrees with the fstab
"
drwxrwx---+ 11 root users 4096 Aug 16 14:02 Net01
What do I need to change.

F15: Worst. Update. Ever.
by linux guy
I just wanted to share what a troublesome, irritating process it was to
update my F14 KDE box to F15.
When it was released, I immediately downloaded F15 KDE Live ISO and
installed it on a USB drive. I was quite impressed.
Shortly thereafter, I ran pre upgrade, only to find that the pre upgrade
kernel wouldn't run when I rebooted.
About that time I got busy with other things in my life and just stayed
running F14.
Until about a week ago when yum update installed kernel 2.6.40-3 and
nvidia-280. At that point my computer started hanging whenever I logged
into a graphical work session. This was on a machine that has been running
Fedora reliably since new.
I spent a considerable amount of time trying to troubleshoot the boot
hanging problem. To no avail.
After a while I decided it would be better to upgrade to F15, thinking the
problem was the new nvidia-280 driver and some older xorg file in F14.
So I then spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out why the
F15 preupgrade kernel wouldn't boot properly.
After a while I gave up on getting it to work. I decided to upgrade via the
F15 Upgrade DVD.
I downloaded the ISO file and tried for a while to install it on a USB
drive, to no avail.
After a while I gave up on getting that to work and burned it to a DVD.
The upgrade ran without a hitch from the upgrade DVD. Or so it thought.
Right off the bat, F15 wouldn't boot either, just like F14 wouldn't.
After some digging around, I got it to boot by removing all akmod-nvidia and
kmod-nvidia files as well as my xorg.conf file. Which, incidentally, has
run fine forever. At that point I could now boot F15 and log into a
graphical work session.
But not a KDE session ! Apparently none of my KDE packages had been
upgraded and my system now only had F15 gnome packages on it.
Upon running yum update in F15, I was greeted with 57 error messages from
yum check. All of these errors were concerned with missing dependencies for
F14 packages that did not get upgraded via the upgrade DVD and/or F14
packages that the upgrade process decided to leave even though there was
also an F15 version on the machine.
After spending a considerable amount of time, I determined the best way to
deal with the situation was to delete all the offending F14 packages. So I
did.
Yum update then ran fine.
I then added back the packages that were deleted that did not have F15
equivalents.
At that point I reinstalled KDE in its entirety.
Which is where I sit today. F15 works great, but what a process to get
here.

How to I (re)convert my emails to the new Evolution format ?
by linux guy
I updated from F14 to F15 and in the process from Evolution 2.x to 3.0.2.
There were numerous (non Evolution) issues during the update process.
Somehow the Evolution mail conversion tool got interrupted and thus only
about 10% of my emails were converted to the new format.
How do I rerun the tool and convert the rest of my emails to the new format
?
Thanks !
FWIW: This is a cross post from a post I did on the Evolution user mailing
list. I didn't like the answer that I received there. I'm hoping for a
better one here.

Kernel bug ?
by linux guy
I get the following when I boot F15 on my Dell Duo.
kernel BUG at drivers/media/media-entity.c 346!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
Modules linked in: snd_hda_codec_conexant uvcvideo(+) microcode(+)
snd_hda_intel(+)....
It goes on from there, including a Call Trace.
My Duo won't boot because of this problem.
Its also not displaying the grub kernel selection screen. It just boots.
It runs F15 Live just fine.
How do I fix this problem or what can I do to work around it ?
Thanks
