installing a kernel gives fatal "non fatal error"
by Scott van Looy
Running Transaction
Installing : kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64
1/1
Non-fatal POSTTRANS scriptlet failure in rpm package
kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64
Installed:
kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.40.4-5.fc15
Complete!
Only it's not, there's no initramfs and the system won't boot. My system's
been like it for a while now, the only fix seems to be to run dracut
manually inside of "sh -x"
Running dracut in bash with no arguments works correctly, running with the
two arguments:
dracut initramfs-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64.img 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64
should make me a lovely initramfs, but instead prints out the instructions
for using dracut. This command works correctly under sh -x
So, my two questions. Firstly, not having an initramfs would strike me as
a very fatal error, not a non-fatal error, why does this happen?
Second, does anyone have any pointers as to how I can fix this, it's very
frustrating!
Scott

Help: Fedora15/Fedora 14 can not find the the DVD-ROM when install using Sata DVD-ROM drive and my BIOS was configured in IDE Mode for Intel Cougar Point 6GB/S port
by Focus.Luo
Hi all,
Fedora15/Fedora 14 can not find the the DVD-ROM when install using Sata DVD-ROM drive and my BIOS was configured in IDE mode for Intel Cougar Point Sata controller on Sata 6GB/S port.
But when I changed the sata 6Gb/s port from IDE mode to AHCI mode on my BIOS, the Fedora15/Fedora 14 can be installed successly.
And I alse do a test on changing the DVD-ROM to the sata 3GB/s port and keep the sata controller on IDE mode, the Fedora15/14 can also be installed successly.
I also have done an other test, I try to install RHEL 6.0 on the sata 6GB/s port and keep the sata controller on IDE mode , and I also have the right result.
So, it is my BIOS have a bug? or Fedora15/14 can not be installed on sata 6GB/s port when the sata controller is configured in IDE mode? or there is a bug on linux kernel(RHEL6.0 kernel:2.6.32, FC15 kernel:2.6.40)?
Someone can help me.
thanks.

Verbose systemctl start network.serivce
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
I *know* this is a touchy subject, so please don't turn this into
yet-another-why-I-hate-systemd shouting-match. (God knows we had far
too many of those lately...)
I'm in the process of upgrading a number of F14 machines to F15.
(Which makes me a prime candidate for a "I survived Fedora 15" T-shirt
*).
In a number of these machines, the network service refuses to work
preventing a clean OS boot (I'm being thrown into Emergency console;
most likely udev persistent names is playing havoc with my network
cards order).
So, my question is rather (?) simple: Back in old days
/etc/init.d/network used to throw (semi-)informative error messages;
'systemctl start network.service' is silent and 'systemctl status
network.service' returns a meaningless error code.
How can I force systemctl start to dump the complete service output to
the console? (Preferably without adding some boot parameters and/or
configuration file editing)
Thanks,
- Gilboa

enlightenment e17
by gpe
There was a lot going on about hating the gnome3 and someone mentioned
that he miss e17 on Fedora.
Currently I am a happy e17 user on Fedora 15.
I like the customizability, the flexibility and the lightness (it eats
less than 70MB of RAM).
Even if it considered as beta I do not had any issues with it and I
using it on a day-to-day basis.
Here is a help if anybody want to try it out.
1. Add fedora.md repo
rpm -Uvh http://repo.fedora.md/fmd/fedora/fedoramd-release-15.rpm
(you may want to replace 15 with your current Fedora version)
2. Install e7
yum install enlightenment exchange
3. The extensions are started with e_modules
Few recommendations (it can be installed with yum)
e_modules-deskshow
e_modules-itask-ng
e_modules-taskbar
e_modules-tclock
4. On login select enlightenment from the dropdown list
5. Enjoy
If you need any more help, please let me know.

Who supplies the information to configure Dell keyboards?
by Alexander Volovics
I ask because using Fed15/Gnome3 not all keys on the following laptops
(Dell Inspiron 1764 and Dell Vostr 3750) work.
For example the key to switch on/off the touchpad. It does not work
and also does not provide any 'notification'.
However using Ubuntu 11.04 all keys do work on the Inspiron 1764.
With Ubuntu 11.04 the touchpad key provides a notification icon
and works! On the Vostro 3750 with a newer touchpad (Alps) it
produces the notification icon but does not seem to work
(but all other keys work).
I tried the Fedora 16 alpha and it shows the icon but does
not work on the Inspiron 1764. On the Vostro 3750 it does
nothing at all.
Why does Fedora lag behind Ubuntu in this regard while usually
providing newer drivers and firmware than Ubuntu?
The kernel provides the drivers and firmware for Dell machines
and the keyboard configuration seem to be supplied by
'udev' and 'xkeyboard-config'.

pulseaudio command line control?
by Tom Horsley
By running "gnome-control-center sound" I can get a GUI app
in which I can set a device profile to "off" so that pulse
will stop fooling with it, and I am then free to talk to
it directly with alsa to do special things like ac3
passthrough to spdif.
My question is: Can I do the same thing with a command
line tool so I can modify the pulse settings in scripts
and set them back to normal after (for instance) playing
a DVD?
