What do I do now! Embedding area??? This is the area at the beginning of the disk, before the first partition. Grub2 needs the first partition to start at 2048, but default partition layouts from Grub-1 systems start at 63. I have run into this several times and it is a royal pain. There may be some games you can play with gparted (shrink the partition, then move it), or you can do like I did, which is to dump the first partition, change it to start at 2048 (shrinking it a bit), making a new file system on the new partition, and restoring it. Welcome to grub2 - it's as you've discovered completely awful (and a look through the huge pile of crap scripts Fedora has spewed to try and hide it is even more painful). You can do two things 1. Replace it with the old grub, which will need you to hand set up the /boot/grub* files as before and just work. 2. Mess around backing up the entire system, repartitioning and the like. 3. Tell it to STFU and use blocklists, in which case it'll work fine in my experience but has the same limits as grub1 (*don't* try things like defragging /boot or putting /boot on btrfs) The fact Fedora didn't properly test such basic upgrades in FC16 is a symptom of how bad the Fedora QA has become unfortunately.

Nvidia drivers thru RPMfusion
Just wanted to know has there been any solution to the fact on some laptops there is still that problem with the installation of rpmfusion nvidia drivers install. I am still using the 275.43.run drivers from the nvidia.com in order to have use of nvidia drivers. There was a thread a month or so ago concerning this problem. Ivan help me with it and there was still no solution so I let it die for fear of offending people. I got in touch with the nvidia people and they said a fix was coming and that has been some time ago.

The position of Fedora Project Leader, in particular, has never been a long-term leadership position, but one that regularly invites new people to assume the role and bring new ideas and new energy to the project. I would like to take this opportunity to share some of my thoughts about being the Fedora Project Leader, and inform you of upcoming changes in Fedora leadership. Any time we make leadership changes in Fedora, we that that challenge seriously, and do everything we can to make the leadership transition as smooth as possible. Although I've been using Fedora since the split from Red Hat Linux, it's only been the past five of six years that I've really been an active contributor. Sure, I was hanging out on the mailing lists, trying out the pre-releases and reporting bugs, but I didn't really consider myself a part of Fedora. It wasn't until I got started with the Docs team and attended my first FUDCon that I truly caught the spirit of the Fedora community. Since then, I've thoroughly enjoyed rubbing shoulders with people who are infinitely smarter than me, and I've learned a tremendous amount -- both about the technical bits and bytes, and also about free software communities. And for the last little while, it's been my honor and privilege to serve the community as the Fedora Project Leader. The role of Fedora Project Leader isn't an easy role, but I am proud of the things we've been able to accomplish both within the distribution and within the community during my tenure. We've had three solid Fedora releases during my time as FPL, each one with a myriad of new features. I've worked hard to expand our international outreach, and to get more international representation on the Fedora Board. We've updated the Fedora website. We've improved our quality assurance processes. We've been able to deliver Fedora images for the Amazon EC2 cloud on release day. We've improved our translation system. I'm thankful for all those who have worked hard to help drive Fedora forward. Now is the time for me to pass the torch to the next Fedora Project Leader. As you probably already know, Red Hat employs the FPL to ensure someone is accountable to Red Hat and the rest of the community for the Fedora Project as a whole. After all, many Fedora leaders have referred to the FPL as the one throat to choke when it comes to Fedora. The FPL is still subject to the same process as any other Red Hat hire, though, and ultimately Red Hat is responsible for that decision. It is imperative that the decision be a good one for the entire Fedora community, so the Fedora Board is consulted about the selection. This process has continued to work well for several previous FPLs, and the Board provided positive feedback about our selection this time around, too. I'm happy to announce that Red Hat has selected Robyn Bergeron to be the next Fedora Project Leader. Robyn has proven herself in the Fedora community over the last several years, and I have complete confidence in her abilities to lead the Fedora Project. In addition to planning FUDCon Tempe in 2011 and helping to lead the Marketing and Cloud SIGs within Fedora, Robyn has been an integral part of many other Fedora events and endeavors. Most recently, she has held the role of Fedora Program Manager, helping to ensure that we all stay on schedule and helping the Fedora feature process stay on track. Please join with me in welcoming Robyn into her new role, and in giving her your help and support in her new role. I'll be working with Robyn over the next weeks and months to help her in the new role. -- Jared Smith Former Fedora Project Leader -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

security spin
Hi, I tried to install the fedora 16 security spin onto my fedora 15 box as a kvm virtual machine, twice, but both times it failed just before the end. In the second attempt I created a larger disk image so not that is the problem. The installer suggested that the media is bad but I checked the sha 256 sum and it was OK.

Cronometer (GPL) goes web based, loses GPL ?
I am a long time user of Cron-o-meter. Its a Java GLP application for nutritional monitoring. It works great. http://cronometer.com/ As long as I've know it (4 years), cronometer has been a GPL application that you installed on your local computer. As a matter of fact, cronometer has and still does maintain a sourceforge account. http://sourceforge.net/projects/cronometer/ However, Cronometer is now available as an online application. The provider has set up a web site that serves the application to users via browsers connected to the internet The online version of Cronometer has extra functionality, not included in the local version. The original version of CRON-O-Meter is still available for download. However, we highly recommend using the web version instead as it has more features, a bigger database, and you can access your data from anywhere. For those that prefer the stand-alone version, you can download it below. http://cronometer.com/download/ Even more functionality is available for the online version via a premium membership. No source code has been made available for the web served application. Has the cronometer provided broken the rules of the GPL by enhancing it and turning it into a web application and not providing the course code back to the user base ? If so, where and how should this be reported ?

I use this quite a bit myself. Took me a bit of thought to figure out what you probably meant by 'GNOME Shell overview'. I guessed it was that box in the upper right what says search. And I typed in part of a document name not opened but did have opened a little while back and it worked, bringing up a 'recent' view showing this document as a calc doc. Clicking on it opened it. Kind of neat. [...snip...] The overview is that zoom out mode that you can get by hitting the logo key on your keyboard, or Alt+F1, or hitting the upper left corner hotspot, or clicking on the Activities menu. Thanks for defining 'GNOME overview' for me. I missed that the logo key is equivalent to Alt+F1. I have noticed that my system switches to overview mode sometimes for no obvious reason You can actually just start typing right away without clicking anything, and the search box is used by default. This is awesome both because it reduces the number of actions for everyone, and also because if you use the keyboard to switch to the overview already, you never need to move your hand to your other input device (mouse or trackball or what-have-you). Yes, truly awesome. Thanks for this tip. Now if there is a keystroke to switch from 'windows' view to 'appllications' in the overview and then to select app submenus I would be even more thankful! Hang onto your hats... ;-) Once you're in the overview, you can hit Ctrl+Alt+Tab and cycle through choices to go to Applications! Once you're there you can hit arrows to move around, including to the submenus, which basically act like filters on the apps list. You can hit Enter to select an application, or a submenu filter from the list. -- Paul W.

If so, where and how should this be reported ? The generally accepted answer (including by the FSF) is no: if they’re just providing their enhanced version as a web application on their own servers, they aren’t exactly distributing the program, so the source code doesn’t need to be made available. The Affero GPL is a variant of the GPL which explicitly requires that the source code to the web application *is* made available to its users. See also http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-affero-gpl.html (note that this talks about version 3 of both the GNU GPL and the Affero GPL, but there is also a version 2 of the Affero GPL which is a modified version of the GNU GPL version 2).

There's a much better, easier way to prevent that: don't activate sudo unless there are people using your box that need to do specific admin tasks but don't have the root password. And, if you do give them sudo access, limit it to the commands they actually need to be using because if you don't, giving them sudo access is exactly the same as giving out the root password. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

The output of F16 mount is somewhat confusing. Is there a way to confine it to just the output of interest to the average user? Thanks.

Re: preupgrade grub2 failed: now can't boot
I got around all this mess by upgrading from the full install DVD. I found the problem to exist only when updating from the live CDs or pre upgrading. If I did my upgrade from the full install DVD, everything worked out OK. If you need more information, I could go back and look at my notes. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

It looks like that there is a right issue.
running selinux in permissive mode does not help.
How can I fix this issue?
Thank.

I don't know if this would help or not; I recently had a similar issue with
xsane - would not find my printer which was on a USB port. So I used lsusb
to find which bus/device the printer was on, then changed the permission to
a+w for the /dev/bus/usb/ device in question. Then, I was able to run xsane
as a normal user. HTH.
