F17 beta & btrfs
by gaelic
Hello.
I know that anaconda is having a bug in terms of installing to btrfs
Partitions and btrfs is generally disabled for now. Anybody knows if a
installation to btrfs is possible if it already exists?
Greetings,

Accessing Logged in Users Account over VNC
by Aero Maxx D
Hello,
Not sure if this is possible, have tried it and I dont seem to get what
I was expecting.
Basically I have installed tigervnc on fedora 15 and it works, it lets
me connect do what I wanted to do and then can disconnect, but what I
was wondering is if I am logged in already as the user I have setup in
the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers before I connect is it at all possible to
see that currently logged in users desktop instead of a different new one ?
i.e. I may have left something on it that I wanted to see and I may not
be at home for arguments sake so could possibly vnc into the box from a
remote location and see the screen as if I was there and continue on
from where I was, instead of getting a blank desktop and having to
remember what I was looking at.
The main reason for me wanting to do this is cause I mainly use it as a
server, and therefore it doesn't have a mouse/keyboard attached to it
and I very in frequently need them, but it is also plugged into my TV,
and I was wanting to play a youtube stream on the box and watch it on my TV.
Thanks
Daniel.

You could be hitting a a Atheros driver problem.
On my laptop I had to use the workaround below to correct horrible
wireless performance.
I am not familiar with what can be done your system so YMMV.
03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless
Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
Subsystem: AzureWave Device 2c37
Kernel driver in use: ath9k
Kernel modules: ath9k
WORKAROUND:
rmmod ath9k
modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1
echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

Where can I get an install DVD for FC16?
by Bill Davidsen
I have downloaded ISO images with both ftp and torrent, and the 3.3GB
DVD image I get is always a network install version, which stops at the
start of the install process and tells me I need an active network
connection to install from that media. Where can I get the real install
media for install from DVD?
And as a side question, why would anyone create a DVD for net install,
when there is a small ISO image which does that?

Subject: Wired vs (bad) Wireless communications speeds
People,
Between my laptop and my server there is a WiFi modem and an ADSL
router and I think the comms is too slow. The device speed for each is:
Server: Intel 82567LF Gigabit: 10/100/1000 Mb/s
Belkin Wireless F5D7230-4v7: 10/100 Mb/s
Belkin ModemRouter F1PI241ENau: 10/100 Mb/s
Asus Zenbook UX31: ath9k: 54 Mb/s
RJ45 via USB: 10/100 Mb/s
On an unloaded network I can get about 6.5 Mb/s when I use the cable
connection to the laptop but nothing better than about 1.5 Mb/s for the
wireless connection - and even that is when the laptop and the wireless
router are only about 1.5m apart (the XFCE network icon shows connection
quality is then at about 90%).
Anyone know why the wireless performance is not better than this?

Well, firstly if all your components for _wired_ are 100Mbps or better,
You might start wondering why you only get 6.5Mbps.... That is already bad.
Next, as you already said, quality 90%?
You don't mention if it is dropping/reordering/corruption/....
But if you have 10% packet loss, you get lots of re-transmissions.
Try other (less used) wifi-channels.
And try a cross-cable between your laptop and server: you should be able to gat 99% saturation, if not 100%...

Problem starting vncserver - but only during reboot
by Lets Go Canes
Once my Fedora 16 system has finished booting, I can login over a ssh session, and as root issue the command "systemctl start vncserver@:1.service", and it starts vncserver without any issues.
However, during boot, vncserver fails to start.
the service is enabled:
# systemctl is-enabled vncserver@:1.service
enabled
I get the following messages in /var/log/mesages:
# grep vnc /var/log/messages
Apr 4 15:35:18 rtpxentst1 systemd[1011]: Failed at step USER spawning /usr/bin/vncserver: No such process
Apr 4 15:35:18 rtpxentst1 systemd[1]: vncserver@:1.service: control process exited, code=exited status=217
Apr 4 15:35:18 rtpxentst1 systemd[1]: Unit vncserver@:1.service entered failed state.
Any suggestions?

HWCLOCK,LOCALTIME,UTC how to fix wrong time.
by luis redondo
I got that Fedora16 and OpenSUSE present wrong system time because they are the only systems I run that have WRONG UTC.For example: My correct system time is 21:20:04 and when I do on Fedora(OpenSUSE) :hwclock ; date ; date --utc I got
8:20:04 PM WEST20:20:04 WEST 201219:20:04 UTC 2012
Then UTC is 2 hours before my right daylight savings time AND IT SHOULD BE ONLY 1 HOUR.On Ubuntu,Debian which present right system hour with daylight savings the UTC is 1 HOUR BEFORE20:20:04 UTC 2012(which is correct with the real world).
So,how can I put UTC to equal the hardware clock? On Ubuntu UTC equals the HWCLOCK.

netbook compatibility
by Chris Kottaridis
I've never used a netbook before but am looking at the
Eee PC 1215N-PU27
I want as much portability as possible, but I also want it to have full
Linux capabilities, so tablets are out for now. Specifcally, I want to
run Linux as the base OS and use vmware to run Windows as a virtual
machine when needed. When I checked out netbooks a couple of years ago I
didn't see anything I thought could handle that. This looks like it
might be able to do that.
It has:
Atom D525 dual-core 1.8 GHz (with hyperthreading can have 4 threads)
2 GB RAM, expandable to 4 GB (I'd do this upgrade)
Bluetooth
Wireless N
HDMI port
3 USB ports
12.1" screen HD resolution
500 GB Hard Disk
It gets shipped with 64 bit Windows 7, but I'd prefer to run Fedora 16
and then run Windows as a Virtual Machine when needed.
Anyone have any experience running Fedora 16 on this machine ?
Also, I suppose I can connect an external DVD player via USB to do an
install that way. I prefer to install from DVD's rather then the network
and I assume a netbook can boot from a USB device.
Thanks
