Most video compression schemes are lossy (data is permanently discarded), and compressions upon compressions (video to VOB, YouTube's conversion to Flash or webm) can produce nasty artefacts. Put another in the middle, and you multiply the problem. However, it is possible that very good compression in the middle of that (i.e. one that's not very destructive to the data) may not be noticeable. Especially when you consider the small picture size that YouTube has for the video. The same goes for audio.

Because it's par for the course. Evidence is replete with examples of hostility from Gnome UI to anything other than the Official Way – to the point that one needs to use something laughably called a Tweak Tool, an add-on, to control various mundane things like the date display format, or input focus behavior. Something that, until Gnome 3, was offered as an integrated configuration setting of the primary desktop configuration tool. I could go on, of course. Suffice it to say that if, in order to customize one's desktop, one more often will use the tweak tool add-on, instead of the readily available settings applications, then someone's priorities are definitely wrong. pgpkD6Wv92eL_.pgp Description: PGP signature -- 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?

Or better, Fedora 20, and put two CentOS and another Fedora each in their own VM? In that case you don't have to deal with the esoteric, user hostile, world of bootloaders on Linux. You can just get to booting multiple OS's. And they boot faster. The only reason for dual booting I can think of is expressly to learn about the challenges of getting bootloaders to do dual booting.

Oh, and grub.cfg is no longer supposed to be directly edited, you're supposed to use /etc/default/grub and grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which creates grub.cfg from scratch and replaces it based on what it finds installed.

Re: dual boot test
Hi Chris. Thanks fo.r the reply . The principle reason for doing/testing dual boot is to have the ability to be able to do a remote reinstall for a fresh OS on a remote box. If you know of a way to accomplish that, I'm more than willing to hear it!! Everything I've seen regarding doing reinstalling of OS, requires having access to the box, with fresh media. This is really intended to allow me to detect if the base/master system has been hacked, and then to immeadiately switch to the minimal OS/system, which would then invoke a netinstall for the hacked system/OS to have a clean system. So, the test is to have a dual Centos process, which is what I'm looking to implement right now. Here are the current steps I've used, feel free to tell me where I've gone off track. -Centos6.5 -Lenovo -250G Drive OS1 -insert the centos 6.5 dvd -select the fresh install -basic storage device -Fresh Installation -Create Custom Layout (-Please Select Device) LVM Volume Groups VolGroup 237972 lv_apps 1 /apps lv_backup 1 /backup lv_home 1 /home lv_root51200 / lv_swap 3824 free 127948 Hard Drive sda sda1 500 /boot ext4 sda2 237974 VolGroup physical volume (LVM) Now, at this point, I get a valid OS/grub.conf However, when I try to install the 2nd OS is when I run into issues.. So, here's what I'm trying to figure out. When I get to the (Please Select Device) page, what do I have to insert to create the minimal OS/system for the 2nd OS install. For the 2nd install, I'm looking to implement a system that has the backup/apps/home/root dirs (mt points) Do I have to have completely separate partitions for each of the OS installs? If I do, how/where do they get created? I think this is close, but again, without really knowing how to do this, one could spend hours/days on this!

Oh, and grub.cfg is no longer supposed to be directly edited, you're supposed to use /etc/default/grub and grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which creates grub.cfg from scratch and replaces it based on what it finds installed.

You can just get to booting multiple OS's. And they boot faster. The only reason for dual booting I can think of is expressly to learn about the challenges of getting bootloaders to do dual booting. Based on what you've said, there are errors in what I'm trying to accomplish. You wouldn't have a few mins to walk me through this would you. It's a lot more than that I can assure you. It took me more time than I care to admit, and if I could get that time back from the life blood sucking experience it was, I'd probably do that. remove hidemenu so you can see the menu, and duplicate the two entries, changing just the one thing that matters which is the menu entry name, and the root.

USB key imaged with netinstl ISO is has a way to confirm it hasn't been altered, and a VNC and kickstart capability for unattended installation over a network. So actually, if I have compromised a system with that USB stick pre-inserted, I can create a custom kernel that causes hacked install image on that media to pass checksum. The apparently valid checksum would seem to imply the key hasn't been hacked. But since it has been, my hacked kernel can install a rootkit or other such malware in the course of you reinstalling the system. So I think this is invalid short of it leveraging UEFI Secure Boot.

Noramlly, you'd do that with a cd, and do it manually, but if you don't have access to the box, then what?

Hello, After I clone a / partition I cannot boot it. I get 3 errors: failed to start create static modes in /dev failed to start journal service failed to open pack file: permission denied. The last one seems to be the more serious one. However, it may due to the previous ones.

Re: dual boot test
Chris. At the basic level, if I could somehow run a cmd and somehow invoke a os install for the existing system, that would be great. IE, if I had an image that could be downloaded to get a complete refresh/reinstall that's what I'm looking for. So, starting from the start, how can I get there, without having access to the system. And I fully recognize that the soln that gets developed will not be perfection. So, if you want to get together to discuss. Hell, I'll do pizza!

Re: relabel
Hello Chris,
I am back with you.
Thinking about your suggestion.
I generate a file: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and
a file initramfs
but these files are on the clone.
If I understand (I guess) the point in generating a new initramfs, I do not
see the point in generating a new grub.cfg file since it is not seen
during the grub2 precessing since the grub.cfg file used in on the
cloned partition until a make a new grub2-install /dev/sda
from the clone.
Anyway, in my opinion, the issue is when grub executes:
menuentry 'Fedora, with Linux 3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE' --class fedora --class
gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option
'gnulinux-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE-advanced-69ee06ed-3f6a-4b9f-9b86-6e24c1847cf6'
{
set gfxpayload=text
insmod gzio

else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root
c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b
fi
because the clone partition is not correct.
Something is missing:
failed to start creat static device mode in /dev
failed to start journal
etc...
To me looks like that the services are not started!!!
how the /dev partition is created?
What do yo think?

Hello,
I wanted to clone my distribution fedora 19, I used to do it with
previous release but I failed with fedora 19.
I copy (-a) the partition / (lvm2) and /boot (ext4)
You probably need to remake the initramfs. The easiest way to do all of this
after the cp -a of everything is to put together the clone at /mnt such that
you have /mnt as rootfs, then /mnt/boot, and then use mount -B to mount the
faux file systems, /proc, /dev/, /sys at their respective locations,
/mnt/proc, /mnt/dev, /mnt/sys. Then chroot /mnt.
Now blkid to find the uuids for /boot and /, and change fstab so that it's
mounting the right volumes. Use dracut -f to make a new initramfs. And then
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to make a new grub.cfg.
If you started out with a system with correct labels, the cp -a will preserve
them as it implies -Z so fixfiles/restorecon isn't needed.
