Re: Failed install from KDE live DVD

Same partition settings as the Live DVD but it worked. From a users point of view, I couldn't find any difference between the Live and full DVD for creating and installing. If you were doing a clean install (except for /home) you should have had the option to customize the installation, allowing you to pick and choose which programs get installed. With the Live version, it simply transfers an image of what's on the disc giving you everything on it and nothing else. And, of course, with the full DVD, you can use it to upgrade an existing copy if that's what you want. Moving from 15 to 19 is not simple so a clean install was the best option. We had the liveDVD, even transferring the version to the existing partitions would have been better than the nothing. Once a working F19 version was running, there is YUM to install the rest. I don't see any reason why the live DVD cannot install itself on existing partitions. That is all I am saying. Of course the full DVD wouldn't let us use the old / partition. We had to delete it and then let the installer re-create it.

Re: copying video dvds
On Tue, 06 Aug 2013 18:19:28 -0600 smcg4...@frii.com wrote: I generally mount and then use cp to copy my video dvds to hard disk for convenience. 99% of the time this works fine and the resulting directory is playable by vlc, etc. However occasionally I'll get an Input/output error when copying a disc that vlc played fine and, unsurprisingly, there are problems when later trying to play the copy. I suspect that vlc makes use of error correction capabilities on the dvd, whereas cp doesn't. There is also another possibility --- if the content is copyrighted, the owners may opt to introduce deliberate errors in order to prevent copying the contents of the disc. If that is the case, vlc will attempt to read only the files it needs, and would not see the error, while cp would try to copy everything, and get stuck. Is there some way or tool that will make a copy of the dvd using (or at last preserving in the copy so that vlc can use) the error correction stuff on the dvd so that the copy is playable even when there are some errors? Others have suggested dd and variants, to make an identical copy of the data on the disc. However, if your aim is to get a copy of the video content of the disc, you can also use mplayer to copy the video to your HD. Something like this: mplayer dvd:// -dumpstream -dumpfile my/video/file.avi This will dump the actual movie into a file, rather than onto the screen (and speakers). You can be more selective by using dvd://2,4-6 to play only the tracks you are interested in, or use -dumpvideo or -dumpaudio instead of -dumpstream to separately copy video only or audio only. You may want to get familiar with man mplayer. Just don't get too scared by the amount of options in the manual. :-) The quality of the dump is of course equal to the original, since it's just copying, not transcoding. The resulting file size will be the size of the video data on the dvd disc itself (most, but not equal to the size of the dvd disc). The dumped file can be played by any video player (vlc, mplayer, ...) that supports MPEG, by pointing it to the file. In general, as far as mplayer usage goes --- if you can see the video on the screen by playing it in mplayer, then you can also dump it in a file instead, to make a copy. And generically mplayer will play everything you throw at it, including copyrighted dvds with deliberate errors etc... ;-) Oh, and you may also want to install the libdvdcss package from the old Livna repository (http://rpm.livna.org/), in order to get around the CSS enryption (Content Scramble System) for some copyrighted dvds...

RE: Fedora won't boot with 3.10.4 kernel and akmod
Make a record of the error. Useful for anyone investigating to have. Not sure what you mean by 'logs out' though if the kernel isn't booting. Is it stopping with an error immediately after grub, is it getting as far as trying to start X? Akmod and the proprietary Radeon driver are from rpmfusion, it may be worth asking on their mailing list http://lists.rpmfusion.org/mailman/listinfo/rpmfusion-users It's been a while since I've used an akmod, but occassionally they run into problems building and it's worth trying the kmod that matches the kernel and driver version instead. I tried with kmod too, same problem. The system loads, then it abruptly closes and I see an error like Sorry, the system crashed with a log out button.

Yeah, I know, ditch the Nvidia card, but my computer bucks are a bit short right now. Anyway, I am starting over, and will be sure to use the efibootmgr command, and install the correct akmod-nvidia-173xx driver. Does anyone have any additional information that might help? by the way, even after the efibootmgr -c command, I kept getting the secure mode disabled message.

sms reader / email client?
Hi, Having just changed my phone I've got a lot of backed up messages in csv format (without the sender name, so I'm going to have to reconcile it with the separate contacts backup). While there are ways to get tem onto my new phone I'm not really sure I want them there, but some are useful and need to be kept. What I'm wondering is if there's some kind of desktop reader that can handle this. I'd have thought an email client, or groupware like evolution would have a way to handle SMS, but haven't found anything so far (there are addons for *sending*, but not sure they do what I want, which is ability to sort, search and browse received messages). -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Fedora 19 missing disk in install
We have an install issue we have not seen before. System is currently running Fedora 18 x86_64. Hardware is Asus P6X58-E Pro motherboard with an old 3Ware hardware raid system with two units. The current partition where we want to do a fresh install to is sda and the other partition with user data is sdb. We are booting from a USB thumb drive that has been used to install another test system and this is the method that Fedora 18 was installed with. We see that the partition sda is found or listed on the screen before we get to the GUI mode. The issue is when we are in the GUI installer and go to the storage the sda partition is not present but the sdb and the thumb drive is shown as sdc are shown. We have found no way so far to add or get that partition to show up for selection. Hence the install is going no where. Searches have found no posting of issues for this motherboard. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
