Hello, What does make that when a user pluggin a usb key, it is automatically mounted with his own rights while there is noting in the fstab? How can I reproduce it manually?

bootable USB key
by Patrick Dupre 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hello, I was thinking in making a bootable USB key for the installation. I read: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB There is instruction about creating partitions and install the .iso on one of them and make it bootable. The example is with a single partition: su -c "livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso /dev/sdX" I am surprise taht we could not make the same on a specific partition by making it bootable, like we do on a usual hardrive. UNetbootin or liveusb-creator do not seem to have this option. Am I wrong? 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 ======================================================================

compile error: #error "Only <glib.h> can be included directly."
by Ranjan Maitra 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

So, I have been trying to get sylfilter to compile and execute (since I could not find a rpm in the fedora 18 repos). The source code is available at: http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/sylfilter/ Anyway, I configure in the following way: ./configure --with-libsylph=builtin --enable-sqlite=yes Then I run: make I get: ...... gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I.. -I/usr/local/include -DG_LOG_DOMAIN= \"SylFilter\" -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\" -DLOCALEDIR= \"/usr/local/share/locale\" -g -O2 -MT procmsg.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/procmsg.Tpo -c procmsg.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/procmsg.o In file included from /usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h:9:0, from defs.h:13, from procmsg.c:6: /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmacros.h:32:2: error: #error "Only <glib.h> can be included directly." make[2]: *** [procmsg.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/maitra/Downloads/sylfilter-0.7/libsylph' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/maitra/Downloads/sylfilter-0.7' make: *** [all] Error 2 How do I get around this above error? I DuckDuckGo'ed for the above error but did not find a satisfactory answer, expcept that I should update the packages. But Fedora usually always have the most updated packages. Any suggestions on this? Many thanks, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Hi all, Recently I'm stucked with multiboot. I have a disk with following partition: sd1. 157GB NTFS of Win8 sd2. 55GB including: sd5. 500M /boot sd6. 4GB /swap sd7. 50GB BTRFS Fedora 18 sd3. 55GB not parted sd4. 32GB not parted Now I want to install Fedora 17 on sd3 or sd4, but I don't know howto. From Anaconda I failed evrrytime for not enough space or some other reasons. So any hints availabe? I think two lvm is the way of installing dual Fedora, isn't it? Thanks everyone in advance!

rsyslogd and services in general
by Tod Thomas 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Ok, old school here, Saturday morning hacking. What is the new method for managing system services? Could someone point me to some good documentation? The reason I ask is nothing is being written to /var/log/messages and /etc/init.d/ doesn't seem to be a viable option anymore. I tried: /sbin/service rsyslog status Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status rsyslog.service rsyslog.service - System Logging Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat, 02 Mar 2013 09:50:50 -0500; 24min ago Main PID: 2584 (rsyslogd) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/rsyslog.service └ 2584 /sbin/rsyslogd -n -c 5 Looks good but logger "test";ls -lt /var/log/messages shows: -rw-------. 1 root root 0 Feb 24 10:48 /var/log/messages I must be missing something. TIA. - Tod

Preupgrade fc15->fc16
by Tod Thomas 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

I just completed upgrading a FC14 virtual machine running under virtual box and it went pretty well. Now I am trying to do the same upgrade only on a FC15 standalone machine to FC16. It looks like it can't find any of the FC15 repos which is odd since FC14 went so well. Should I expect this to work or is the FC15 release just too old? Why did the FC14 upgrade go so well? TIA - Tod

copy full system from old disk to a new one
by Martín Marqués 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

How can I pass my whole system from an old SATA disk (which is giving me some trouble) to a new disk. I have 4 partitions, all of which I have only passed /home using cp -.a I'm a bit concerned about the root file system, how to change grub, and if I'll have trouble with non-regular files from /var.

restart install
by Patrick Dupre 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello, I checked twice the DVD, but the install fails during packages installion. How can I restart it? I guess that the list of packages which need to be installed are stored somewhere and yum must be able to manage it!
