livecd update
Hi; I have created a live usb F9 cd. It boots fine. I used the --overlay-size-mb 1131 option to use all of the 2G stick. When I yum upgrade it downloads and installs the rpms just fine. On cleanup it dies an updating the rpmdb, something about read only filesystem. It;s strange because it lets me yum install firefox without any complaints. Because I am using the KDE live image and I run KDE on FC9 I know it needs to be updated. How do I do this? Or how do I create my own updated image to copy to the stick? thanks Mick M. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
livecd on USB kernel upgrade?
Hello list; I created and updated a live F9 USB drive on a 2G stick. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 1131 /home/mick/MyDownloads/Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso /dev/sdc1 Then did a yum upgrade in small stages on it. What I would like to know is how to get the new kernel loaded. I made the initrd fine. There is no grub.conf in /boot/grub. If you hit tab at the boot screen the kernel line looks something like this: vmlinuz0 initrd0.img root=UUID=XYXYXrw quiet liveimg overlay=UUID=XYXYXY rhgb check Any ideas?

Re: updating USB flash drive MBR to allow boot
In theory the livecd_to_usb program was supposed to make it bootable as part of the process. At least that is my understanding. JP Hi; as root do fdisk -l Insert stick. repeat fdisk -l The new entry is your stick - say sdc1. Now fdisk /dev/sdc - note drop the 1. p to show the partition table. If it is bootable there should be a * as the first char. a 1 for the first partition. p star should be there now. w to write it out. done. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

I would like icon view to have 'size' It seems no matter what I do iI get icons with just the names, deatails just get the name and date.

Re: Corsair 16G USB Flash Drive
But the drive mounts and reads correctly under windows. Any ideas? Regards, Les H Hi; I have a SanDisk 4G. I used it exclusively inder F9, worked fine. Then I copied some data files to an XP box, and it could not read them. After trying it a few times I noticed that some kind of app popped up on the XP box when I inserted the stick. Now this is weird because I had formatted it ext2 and also had used it as a live-F9 disk, then formatted it NTFS to talk to XP. When I clicked on the app it turned out to be some kind of encryption thing. I disabled/removed it from the stick and then F9-Xp xfers were fine (after I re-copied them over). Maybe that is whay you have, stick it in an XP box and see what happens.

yumex starts without password
Hi; I run F10 and KDE. The system is fully updated. I start programs from desktop icons. When I log in I double-click the firefox icon and then the yumex icon. While firefox is thinking about starting - yumex connects and starts, No password was asked for. If I just double-click yumex it asks me for the root password, which it should. I am not complaining but this seems wrong, what else could start as root while firefox is starting up?

Firefox addons for later
Hi; I am putting a bunch of files on a USB stick. I have the latest firefox rpm and want to include some addons. The ones I use are addblock-plus, videodownloadhelper, noscript, downthemall and WOT. I know I can just install ff and then manually install them via the web. But how do I include them on the stick? I would like to be able to install ff then locally install the addons, before going on the net. thanks Mick M. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I use wireless lan, no module - no internet. I have the two latest F10 kernels - neither load any modules now. This happened at first a couple of days ago, I rebooted into the old kernel and it came up fine. Then I used yumex to delete and re-install the latest kernel. This worked fine. Now I have somehow killed both kernels - no modules. I will post a new help for this. The box I am posting from is different and is on F11-pre. I was trying to depmod pvrusb2, and insmod pvrusb2. I could go to /lib/modules and drill down and find the module. But it would not load. I will answer the rest of your questions when it is fixed.

I dont like the LVM stuff, rescue cd's fail with it. As far as swap goes - this is a 1000G drive! 2xram (I hope to get 4G total) seems standard.

Re: clone a bootable fedora USB drive?
Anyhoo, now that I've spent most of a day getting the USB stick updated and configured, I want to clone it to another USB stick. Hi; what I use is dd, as root. Plug it in and if it gets mounted, unmount it. I always df -l, and fdisk -l To get the system info first. Then plug it in, wait for 30 seconds and df -l fdisk -l again. That way you can see if it automounted. fdisk -l will show you the name and any partitions. Make SURE that you know which one is the USB. If unsure just unplug it and start again. I presume that it is /dev/sdb here. umount /dev/sdb1 If it did mount it. Then dd if=/dev/sdb of=F9-usb.img This will make an image the whole thing, in your current directory. To restore dd if=F9-usb.img of=/dev/sdb You can save this image onto a CD as it is just a data file. One thing to watch out for is that your keys be the same size. The second (clone) can be bigger but not smaller than the original. You will lose the extra space.

Re: Installing Fc11 on a 250gb Sata drive.
So the fact that my system disk is running on the 2nd SATA port is wrong? Does the system know this? It boots fine for me as its the only bootable disk on either controller. In your BIOS (advanced) you can choose your boot/device order. Write down the way it is. Then choose what drive you like. Usually the name will tell you the size (it will have 250 or 500 in it).

Anaconda problem with sata drives
Hi; I have an MSI K9A2 rev 1 motherboard latest BIOS, with Athlon 64x2. This has 4 sata connectors for normal drives and two for raid. I have run win Xpx64, Fedora 9/10 and now 11 on this box just fine. Right now it is running F11 on a sata drive with Xp64 under VirtualBox. OK so Newegg had a sale on Samsung sata drives so I bought 2. I planned to use the raid connectors and run F11 on them. I installed the drives and created a raid 1 in the BIOS. Then I installed F11 with updates onto it. It would not boot. I selected it in the BIOS as first boot, but grub wanted a BIOS disk ID. When the system boots the raid is not shown in the sata/ide first screen. I fought it for a long time and even re-installed. Finally I gave up. I went into the BIOS and cleared the raid so it was JBOD. Then I put the drives onto the normal sata connectors and disabled the raid sata. I was able to fdisk and format both drives just fine. One as data and one for F11 /boot ext3 swap / as ext4. When I try to insstall F11 it cannot see the drive,at the partioning screen. I get an OK box: An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on which to create new file systems.

kernel 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64
When I go to youtube and play a video it works fine.
However if I walk away for a while and then tryto watch something I get no
sound.
I can use dolphin to play a .flv file just fine.
If I quit firefox and start it again it works.

Hi;
I clicked the above link.
Xine came up and played the audio in Firefox.
There were no controls.

updating F12 broke KDE display
Hi;
I just loaded F12 onto my old IBM R51 laptop.
It went fine, everything but USB worked.
I created two users guest users Gnome, mick uses KDE.
I prefer KDE so logged onto that.
My wireless network connected just fine, the display was fine.
I did a yum install yumex.
Followed by yumex.
After a big update the KDE screen is broken.
The taskbar is whited out with thin black horizontal lines.
Any program (dolphin) top line max/min/quit shows the same as the taskbar.
Quit does work.
I logged out and back in as guest: under gnome.
The screen was fine, but no wireless network.
I did not test gnome wireless before the update.
I cannot test wireless in kde now as The menu's are unreadable.
I userdel mick and removed /home/mick, then useradd mick, same.
This laptop uses an intel centrino motherboard.

Re: Latest updates broke KDE sound
I just updated two systems. They use different
hardware, but I run
primarily KDE in both. One system updated and
sound worked fine. The
second system lost sound in KDE. I can delete
~/.pulse and .pulse-cookie,
log out, log in and have sound for that session.
I can play music, get
system sounds, etc. Once I log out, and back in,
no sound. I can tap on
the microphone and hear that in the speakers. I
can run
aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav and hear
that. If I log out of
KDE and into GNOME, I can run any application with
sound and they work
fine. All sound worked fine prior to today's
updates, which included the
latest pulse updates.
Hi;
this happened to me.
I only run KDE, so did not test gnome.
F - apps - multimedia - pulse volume control
click the config tab.
In my case PA found my Radeon Video card and chose HDMI
I changed it back and all was ok.
I have a Radeon HD 3450 PCI Express, with NO HDMI.

[Fedora-livecd-list] Very basic question.
Hi; I have been reading this list for a while. Is there a how-to or webpage for this group? I see people writing patches, but not how or where to apply them. What goes where? where did it come from? I am running F10 KDE. What file do I download, to where? Then how do you run patch? (the man page is confusing) I can program in C (dos 6 days). I just need to know how to get started.
