How to reinstall grub2 after upgrade?
by Georgios Petasis
Hi all,
I have upgraded a pc from fedora 18 to 19, and I am left with an ugly
grub2 boot loader.
So, I have removed packages grub2, grub2-tools, erased
/etc/default/grub, re-installed them, and run:
|grub2-install /dev/sda
||grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg|
But grub still has no theme. Package grub2-starfield-theme is installed
though.
When I reinstalled grub2-tools, no /etc/default/grub was created.
Is there a reason for that?
I am asking because I have found this:

Slow initialization of something during boot
by Frank McCormick
Since I made the switch to a 64 bit machine (still using 32 bit Fedora
19) there is a long delay just before lightdm comes up with the login
screen.
Can someone take a look at this output and perhaps point out why and
where it's occurring ? By the way I don't use LVM or raid...can I disable
these services? What;s the best way to do that. Even so the time they
take doesn't account for the 6-7 second delay after booting before
lightdm comes up.
Thanks for any help

Automatically forcing port speed at system boot
by Sam Varshavchik
To make a long story short, I need to execute
ethtool -s wan0 advertise 00c
at system boot, before networking comes up. The only thing I can come up
with is to throw a systemd service, WantedBy=basic.target.
But wondering if there isn't anything already that runs at system boot,
whose purpose is something like that. Anyone know of a better way?
rc-local.service runs after network.target, that's too late, here.

and that's the end of it. the rpm DOES include an ehtry for /usr/bin, but I didn't think that was inherently erronneous.
Anyone know how to make this work?
thanks!

Fedora to Android
by Timothy Murphy
I'd like to transfer a directory of personal information
(not just contacts) from my Fedora-19/KDE laptop
to my Samsung Galaxy S2 android phone.
What is the best way currently to do this?
Is MTP functional now?
I'd prefer if possible to use rsync.

use of suspend leads to random unwanted shutdown
by Frédéric Bron
Since I use F19, I have toubles with suspend. I do not know if it is
really related to F19 because I do not use suspend very often when at
home but more often on holidays...
What happens:
If I use suspend some time and until I turn off the computer
completely (i.e. not by using suspend), when the computer is on, it is
susceptible to shutdown automatically at any time.
Attached is the content of /var/log/messages just before the crash.
I can see for example:
CPU3: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total
events = 1229)
Hardware event. This is not a software error.
mcelog[528]: MCE 0
mcelog[528]: CPU 3 THERMAL EVENT TSC 43df5e39a80
This seems to indicate that I have troubles with the temperature of my CPU.
However, this happens only after suspend, this is why I was wondering
if there is anything related to F19 and its kernel
(3.10.5-201.fc19.x86_64).

RPM?
by jarmo
Hi
Just curious, I see in Gkrellm quite often RPM takes much processor
time.
What is this RPM "daemon" Is it needed? I have not auto update on.
Where I can find config for that?
Just confused
