startlxde does not start in text mode
by Patrick Dupre 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hello, I am trying to start lxde from a text session. startlxde does not do anything if there is not other X session running. If there is a X seesion running, then I get: Openbox-Message: A window manager is already running on screen 0 g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting. What should I do?

For Fedora 18 the 'usr' tree should be on the root partition. I think that's clear. See [0] and [1] for details and justification. > Anyway, how do you upgrade a fedora 16 with > / > /usr > /lib64 Honestly I would recommend a repartition and reinstall. Sorry that's not a great answer, it's just what I would do. I'm sure that other people on the list can give much better ideas should you need to perform that upgrade.

"_REG", ACPI problem
by Wilbert Isaac Cortés González 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Well, hi to everybody, a few days a go I was trying to install Fedora 18 in a Toshiba Satellite, but for my surprise I got this error message after I made boot from the DVD: "Fail in evaluating the _REG object of EC device. Broken bios is suspected"; I tried a few of "solutions", but I didn't succeed, with those, so my question is: is there any real solution? -Isaac Cortés.

Hello, Thinking about the isntallation issues, I have 2 concerns: First one. What should be the size left over the 1st partition of the disk for the MBR? I may not have enough size. Is it documented?

grub2 cfg errors in 18
by Frank McCormick 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Still trying to discover the cause of errors being generated when grub2-mkconfig is run. Tne problem first surfaced after a new kernel during a recent update on Fedora 18. The error was something along the lines of "can't find a usable template" . So I tried to manually generate a grub.cfg file using grub2-mkconfig. It says there are errors in the generated file ..it refers to a line about TBOOT..whatever that is. Can anyone offers suggestions ? Thanks -- --Cheers--

Hello, Can this partitioning/formatting be a problem: mke2fs /dev/sda6 -t ext4 -b 2048 -L boot0 mke2fs /dev/VolGrpSys_DK0/root_usr -t ext4 -b 2048 mke2fs /dev/VolGrpSys_DK0/usr_local -t ext4 -b 2048 mke2fs /dev/VolGrpSys_DK0/usr_lib -t ext4 -b 2048 mke2fs /dev/VolGrpSys_DK0/usr_src -t ext4 -b 2048 mke2fs /dev/VolGrpSys_DK0/tmp -t ext4 -b 2048 mke2fs /dev/VolGrpUsr_DK0/home -t ext4 -b 2048 ? Then the mount point is on / (root_usr) Thank. -- ====================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)kegtux.org Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel. | | Fax: 03 28 65 82 44 189A, avenue Maurice Schumann | | 59140 Dunkerque, France ======================================================================
