installation issue
by Patrick Dupre 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hello, I am still stocked. Before the installation, I have to setup the "installation destination". I imagine that there is a configuration file storing the partition, the mounting point, etc.... Could you please tell me where is this config file?

fedora 16, ext4 corruption
by Ian Malone 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hi, Is anyone else seeing problems with F16 ext4? I recently moved my install onto a new harddisc (which is reporting SMART is fine after running a full test) and did that by making a new ext4 fs (previously ext3) then rsyncing across. I'm now seeing occasional system 'freezes' (not hard freezes, but programs can fail to start or freeze. Yesterday the desktop completely stopped, but I was able to switch to a virtual console). dmesg reports errors to do with failing to write the journal and remounting read-only. On reboot an fsck is required, which finds some fixable problems. Obviously I'm wondering if it's the OS or the new disc. Was planning an F18 install soon which might help with one problem but not the other. Don't know if it's the 'ext4 data corruption bug' or if that's been fixed. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIxNDQ -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk

Mouse scrolling problem in Fedora18
by Todor Petkov 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hello, I have installed Fedora18 on Sapphire EDGE-HD Mini PC.It has only 2 USB ports, so I used only keyboard and not mouse during the install. Now the mouse scroll does not work. I found this article https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/8386/mouse-scroll-doesnt-work-in-fed… but the step did not help. I am not sure if this is related to the lack of mouse during the install or the hardware itself. I tried with different mouse (the original is Dell, I tried with Logitech), but still no wheel working. Does someone else have this or similar problem? Regards,

I have a git hub repository where I have put the Ruby on Rails development system on Heroku for work by myself and 2 other volunteer devs. How and/or where would I post the file tree so that we all can work on the various files, I'm lost on this aspect. I have explored Github and Heroku but could find no thing obvious. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this dev working Thank you in advance Roger

"_REG", ACPI problem
by Wilbert Isaac Cortés González 03 Mar '13

03 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. -wilbert.cortes(a)yahoo.co.uk; w.isaac.cortes(a)gmail.com

Fedora 18 latest kernel 3.8.1 no f2fs support
by slamp slamp 03 Mar '13

Apparently you are allowed to install f2fs-tools but the kernel itself does not have f2fs support. Am I correct or am I missing something?

Howto get a stack trace from coredumps now that we have abrt?
by Neal Becker 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Now that abrt is intercepting core dumps, what do I do to get a stack trace for a binary that is NOT a fedora package? Either my own code, or something like, shall we say, just for the sake of argument, google chrome? I know how to turn off sending core dumps to abrt, but I don't want to always run that way, and I don't know how to trigger this core dump.

Check Updates option does no work for me in Software application
by Aaron Konstam 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

The Check Updates option in the Software application does not work for me. It starts as expected reporting the number of updates. But it never reaches the install step and just keeps running without end. Does this work for other people? If so what is your trick to get it to work? -- ======================================================================= Flat tire on station wagon with tapes.
