space error in creating a fedora spin
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I have been getting an error of "No space left on device" using my own
kickstart, so I decided to try and make the lxde ks on my own to see
what was up.
Here is what I tried:
sudo setenforce 0
sudo livecd-creator --cache=cache --fslabel=LXDE
--config=fedora-livecd-lxde.ks
There are a number of messages (all looking fine) till:
Installing: ethtool ###################
[1052/1050] 1909 blocks
No changes to default zone needed.
Removing password for user root.
passwd: Success
Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable NetworkManager.service'.
Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl disable sshd.service'.
rm '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/sshd.service'
Missing EFI file (/boot/efi/EFI/*/shim.efi)
Missing EFI file (/boot/efi/EFI/*/gcdx64.efi)
Failed to copy EFI files, no EFI Support will be included.
Missing shim.efi, skipping efiboot.img creation.
The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be
enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another
unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which
has a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path,
timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).

Error creating Live CD : ISO creation failed!
What is this error creating message? Is it because a standard CD has no
more that 700MB of space? (But the F18 LXDE spin takes less than 600
MB if I recall correctly. So then what is it?) How do I get around this?
Btw, I checked to be sure, and I do have HDD space in / (2.9GB) /tmp
(4GB) as well as in home (5 GB).
Many thanks for any help and best wishes,
Ranjan

F18: Create a USB install of CentOS 6 from iso
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Hi all,
On a F18, I installed livecd-tools-18.15-1
I downloaded CenOS6.x minimal .iso and with livecd-iso-to-disk the
resulting USB is never bootable: the computer doesnt boot on it. Tested
on many computers.
The fact is I succeded to install CentOS on a Netbook (no CD/DVD tray),
but I dont remember how I invoked livecd-iso-to-disk.
I tried with many combinations (/dev/sdc is the USB pendrive):
1°)
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --force <ISO> /dev/sdc
2°)
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --force <ISO> /dev/sdc1
3°)
- Format with VFAT on partiion #1 then
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk <ISO> /dev/sdc1
4°)
- Format with Ext on partiion #1 then
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk <ISO> /dev/sdc1
...
N°)
I dont remember what I tried, but it was many, mostly tried with CentOS 6.2
Please, if someone has a F18 + an USB drive: would you test and see if
you succed?
If you ever succed, how did you?

F18+Windows7+"Secure boot not enabled"
by Celik
Hi,
I'm trying to replace Windows 7 OS with F18 but running into the problem of
"secure boot not enabled".
Background information:
Laptop: Acer Aspire 5560
Current OS: Windows 7
Phoneix SecureCore Tiano Setup
When starting the laptop F2 opens the Phoneix setup menu, in the "Security"
sub-menu there is not option to enable "secure boot".
I'm trying to perform the installation via DVD
Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso<http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Live/x86_6...>.
Haven't attempted the USB -live image installation option discussed in
F18 documentation as I made the assumption that if I can't boot from the
DVD then also won't be able to boot from USB. Also integrity of the DVD
.iso if fine as I used it to upgrade F16 to F18 on another computer.
Do you have any suggestions as to what to do? Please note I'm a newbie.
Regards,
C

koji setup: firefox doesn't recognize certificate file
by sean darcy
Trying to set up koji:
#########
fedora-packager-setup --with-browser-cert
.......
Browser certificate exported to ~/fedora-browser-cert.p12
To import the certificate into Firefox:
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced
Click "View Certificates"
On "Your Certificates" tab, click "Import"
Select ~/fedora-browser-cert.p12
Type the export passphrase you chose earlier
Once imported, you should see a certificate named "Fedora Project".
Your username should appear underneath this.
##########
But when I go to import the certificate, the dialog box shows
"Certificate Files" , and ~/fedora-browser-cert.p12 does not appear.
I can change that to "All Files", and it does appear, but firefox won't
import the file. Click OK, and the dialog just closes. No passphrase. No
import.
F18, firefox-20.0-1.fc18.x86_64
Any help appreciated.

Image stitcher for panorama creation
by Bill Davidsen
I have some sets of images which are similar to a normal panomama, but are
created when the camera is still and the subject moving past the lens. Examples
include capturing street art, labels on (rotating) cylinders, etc. In every case
the camera is in video mode, and the video is broken into a boatload of
1920x1080 images. I can reduce the fitting effort by cropping, but I really
would like to find software to take a series of images and cope with the overlap.
Naturally there is Windows software to do it, and a pair of jerks who say the
Linux software is incapable. I have a few hundred of these videos, so "by-hand"
is possible but doesn't scale well.
Any suggestions? The man page for hugin lists dozens of command line tools, and
I script netpbm commands, and have even written a few tools, but if there's a
"best practice" solution I can at least start looking in the right place.

Dual head - Nouveau issue F18-64
by Robin Laing
Hello,
I have a 64 bit F18 system that worked beautifully after the clean install. After an update some time ago, I have had an issue with the dual head setup.
Before the problem occurred, I would boot and get all messages on the left screen until the X server started. If the screen saver locked the screen, the unlock box would be on the left screen (screen 0). I could run KDE with effects enabled.
Due to work schedule, I couldn't deal with the problem before now.
Now, when I boot, both displays are in mirror mode. When the X server kicks in and KDE starts, the display goes to side by side as expected. The desktop works as side by side when I can drag windows between the monitors and virtual desktops as expected.
I cannot run any of the KDE desktop effects.
When the screen saver kicks in, it is two different screen savers on each monitor, not one across both.
If I move the trackball, I get a unlock box on both screens but they are not mirrored. If I enter a password in to one box, the desktop unlocks.
I cannot use anything that requires a full screen such as You Tube videos in a browser or any game.
I have gone through the settings in Grub and tried different desktop settings.
This setup has worked flawlessly for two years now.
Due to this issue, the system runs slower when moving between screens or virtual desktops. Lack of full screen is a pain for some things. No Tux Extreme racer unless I want mirrored action.

suggestions for linux laptop
by Ranjan Maitra
I am looking for a new laptop running Fedora. A real workhorse but
hopefully not very heavy. Any suggestions?
Btw, what is the highest vertical resolution I can get? I used to have
a Dell with 1200 some time ago, but can't seem to locate any now. Btw,
does anyone know anything about the Samsung laptop with 1440 vertical
resolution?
http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/31/samsung-Series%209-WQHD-Ultrabook-matt...
Is there any hope of this coming to the market? (I could not find it
anywhere online.)
Many thanks again for any and all suggestions!
Ranjan
