Dracut on reboot
by Richard Vickery
Hi Gang,
A number of times f18 has become stuck for so long that I felt it necessary
to call the command reboot. Certain times a dracut command line shows up
and I call systemctl, which shows what it does, and with little-to-no
current technical training, I have little understanding of what I am
looking for. Is there some way to call systemctl, get the same information,
and paste this information here in an email for someone to look at? and
perhaps let me know what to look for?
Thanks

f18 moodle setup
by Virágh János
After
#yum install moodle
what's the proper way of configuring and starting moodle on Fedora 18?
The web-based install doesn't work because of the missing install.php file:
# grep install.php moodle.spec
rm config-dist.php install.php filter/tex/mimetex.* filter/tex/README.mimetex
The command-line alternatives from the "official documentation"
http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Installing_Moodle
die with various (selinux, file permission, locale or other) errors...
Does there exist some step-by-step fedora-specific documentation?

Re: Laptop disconnects network when is closed

Sound very much like hibernating....
How about writing a litle bash script, that writes every couple of seconds to a file/syslog?
That way you can verify wether or not your system is still alive after closing the lid.
Steps further depend on the result.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, that I am using a cable connection.
However, I looked in the logs and then google showed

Laptop disconnects network when is closed
by Todor Petkov
Hello,
after upgrading from F17 to 18 via fedup, my laptop disconnects the
network after the lid is closed. I have tried to edit some stuff with
dconf-editor, like lid-close-ac-action, sleep-inactive-ac-type (they are
with "nothing" value now), but it still goes in sleep mode.
Can anyone give me some advice what else to be changed, so the PC can
keep its connectivity when the lid is closed?
Regards,

Try:
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp>
Also, I don't know if you're aware but this came to my Inbox rather than
the Fedora list. It's better to keep any questions directed to the list.
Cheers,

How to restore MBR on a separate /boot partition?
by Dan Thurman
Since I was unable to install F18, I would like
to revert back to F17 that I have restored from
backups, the following partitions:
/ (root) /dev/sda10
/boot /dev/sda9
What I have left to do is to restore the MBR
on /dev/sda9 /boot partition.
I have a separate MBR installed on /dev/sda
drive which is the master MBR for multiboot
OS, which is working fine.
What steps can I use to accomplish this?

Hi,
It happens often enough that I leave the computer long enough for it to
blacken the screen. Is there a combination key stroke to get x back?
Thanks.

FedUp
by Phil Dobbin
Hi, all.
I've been away for some weeks & am now back so I'm looking at
possibilities for upgrading 17 -> 18 seeing as 17 will be EOL in around
eight to ten weeks.
After the initial problems with FedUp, I read last night over on
Bugzilla about its progress & the latest testing (which looks like it's
going to go stable next week) is looking pretty solid.
So the question is, is everybody been happy with the upgrade process via
FedUp lately?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil...

Disability relief
by Beartooth
I need cursor symbols that my antiquated eyeballs can spot even
through trifocals. Last time I had a machine running CentOS (6.2 iirc) I
had managed to get a big yellow arrow to show the mouse cursor. It was
wonderful.
Now I have machines running Fedora (17 & 18) and Puppy (5.0) --
and even with eyes on two panels I have an awful time spotting the mouse
cursor. Can anyone tell me a way to get my arrow back??
