Bit of a brown paper bag moment. I must have unknowingly disabled wifi, but exactly when I was testing that kernel. Fixed by: # yum install rfkill # rfkill list all 0: eeepc-wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes <-- HERE Hard blocked: no ... # rfkill unblock all (Or press [Fn][F2]). I was just a bit dismayed to see that software blocking wifi removes the wifi device line from the output of lspci: 01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) Thanks, Mike

AD authentication
by Will Yonker 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi, I've just setup a pair of Fedora 18 boxes that I could use some help with getting them to join the active directory domain we have at work (2008 I think).Â What I would like is for users in a particular group in AD be allowed to log into the Fedora 18 boxes without me having to create accounts (and manage passwords) on the Fedora boxes.Â Is that possible? Thanks for any help! --- Will -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

firewalld v. libvirtd
by Robert Locke 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Just took the leap in to Fedora 18 from 17. In Fedora 17, I simply added a custom rule in the old system-config-firewall to point to a file that had a trust of the libvirt based virbr0 interface. The new system-config-firewall has me a bit confused.... I would like to keep the new firewalld and it's initial presumption that my em1 and wlan0 interfaces are in the "public" zone generally not allowing unsolicited inbound activity. This appears to be the default OOBE. I would like to associate the virbr0 interface, created by libvirtd, to be considered part of the "internal" zone, since I "trust" my own VMs talking to the host. But, what is the "supportable" method for accomplishing this? There is no ifcfg- where I could put the firewall zone.... Thanks in advance, --Rob

recommendations for SSD drive as first disk for fedora 18?
by Robert P. J. Day 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

after a while living with ubuntu, i'm moving back to fedora as of F18, and would like some advice. i have an ASUS G74S with twin 750G drives, but i want to replace the boot drive with an SSD, and install F18 in such a way as to maximize the benefit of the SSD for booting and (mostly) R/O storage. a lot of my time will be spent doing lengthy compiles (kernel, openembedded), so in addition to system content on the SSD, i'll want to keep all of my source there as well, while the build directories will be on the regular drive. is there a recommendation for installing F18 in terms of separating what's appropriate for the SSD versus what isn't? most of that is fairly obvious, just wondering if anyone wrote up something about their experience doing just that and how well it worked for them. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

unsigned packages on F18
by Dave Stevens 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

I tried to install Java in Firefox and after the download I get an error saying the package is unsigned and installation halts. Have got the same response with another widely used package. Using the x86_64 live spin. What to do?

booting on Fedora 17/18 with basic video mode
by Rafnews 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi, when i boot on Fedora CD/DVD (whatever it is as version 17/18) result of a blank screen. to be able to install i need to install with troubleshooting mode and "run in basic graphic mode" i have a nvida graphic card so i guess here is the problem. is there a solution to run in a better resolution than what basic graphic mode propose ? if not, i guess i must setup video resolution manually in x11 conf. where can i find a good tutorial for that point ? because when i tried Fed17 i had the same problem and i was not able to setup video correctly so i got a blank screen from restart :( thx -- Alain ----------------------------------------------------------- Windows 7 x64 / Fedora 17 x64 MySQL 5.6 Apache 2.4.3 / OpenSSL 1.0.1c Tomcat 7.17 PHP 5.4.8

xorg crashing
by Craig White 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

upgraded (via preupgrade) to F17 on Saturday and the xorg crashes are too frequent. The number of bug reports on bugzilla, just from today (mostly from abrt) simply make it difficult for me to try to make any sense of them: (long bugzilla search/sort, not recommended link) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&content=firefox… So a simple description of my setup is... F17 22" monitor Nouveau driver with a small xorg.conf because I will max out at 1024x768 unless I have the xorg.conf but the contents are simple [1] Seems if I try to use Firefox, I am certain to crash xorg. Seems if I try to copy graphics from Gimp and then paste into LibreOffice Writer, I am certain to crash xorg Perhaps someone has been able to solve this issue in a less than perfect way as it seems to a problem with certain hardware combinations and the current xorg so I'm putting this on list.
