Or If your VM is using a qcow2 image investigate the guestfish tools for directly editing the disk image.

Re: Name resolution for kickstart

It's primarily a relay for the wider net but does a few other things as well. So DHCP is configured to specify 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver address for these machines. Of course, that is also what kickstart is told when it connects and begins operation. But, of course, kickstart is not running a local nameserver. This means that name resolution for the repo lines in the kickstart file doesn't work and installations fail. The only workaround I've found is to use IP addresses in the repo lines, not the associated names. But this isn't ideal: addresses can change and sites using multiple addresses can't be properly matched. Is there a way I can tell kickstart not to use the resolver specified by DHCP but instead use one that I specify in the kickstart file? On 10/03/2014 08:40 PM, Tim wrote: Specify the details on your DHCP server. Actually sending 127.0.0.1 is an odd thing, because it means yourself, and I'd only send such data to those specific machines. For everything else, give a specific DNS server address for one of those machines. Do all of that on the DHCP server. Have some specific machine entries (your servers), and separate configuration for a range of dynamic client machines. Thanks for the reply. But I understand how to configure DHCP. As I wrote above, DHCP is configured to specify 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver address for these machines. Only for those machines. The difficulty is that, during kickstart the DHCP configuration is wrong. I'd much rather not have to use a different configuration for kickstart than for normal operation. While I can do that for an initial installation, it is far trickier if the machine needs to be re-installed later. A re-installation ought to be as simple and selecting PXE during boot. There shouldn't be a need to change the DHCP configuration before and after. I think you might be better setting it up a slightly different way. Get the DHCP server to send a normal DNS server for machines installing and get the kickstart file to configure the machines to ignore the DNS server from the dhcp server (PEERDNS=no) and use DNS1=127.0.0.1 instead. -- Junk -- 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?

Re: Major fsck-up
Well, I've managed to make matters worse on my desktop. Before doing a clean install, I decided to clean up my partitions a tad. There's an old partition that used to be /boot until new requirements made it too small and was just sitting there, unmounted, so I used a LiveCD and Gparted to remove it. Then, I added it to /home. Alas, the program hung before completing the job and now, the partition's unrecognizable. Gparted can't correct it and parted can't read it. Using e2fsck from a command line tells me that the superblock is wrong, and I can't work out how to find out where to tell me to look. And, probably because of this, my installation now hangs before it gets far enough for me to get to a CLI. I do have a reasonably recent backup, if all goes bad, but I'd rather not have to use it. Does anybody know how to find it, or otherwise recover the partition? I'm tempted to use touch /forcefsck, to see if that works, but somehow, I doubt it. Advice, or pointers to suggestions will be very, very welcome. -- Firstly, your probably screwed. fsck has one job and that's to make the file system consistent. It's not a disaster recovery tool. All it cares about is that the fs should make sense on next reboot. Questions that may help find out what went wrong.

Speaking only for myself, I just keep everything in Google Contacts (I also have an Android phone). Cue flame-war about evil intentions of Google, etc. ... While this is a KDE-oriented question my experience may be useful to this discussion; my method is to use one Desktop as having all PIM data: contacts, calendar, memos, todos. For this I use Evolution. In order to sync it with my Android phone, I use different cloud services, with the exception of Google. The services that I have tried are: Funambol(actually onemediahub.com), MemoToo, and Everdroid. Each has its peculiarities and advantages; Memotoo is the one that I prefer currently. Everdroid has an advantage of syncing text messages (easier to review them in bulk on a webpage than on a phone). In order to sync from the Desktop to the cloud I use syncevolution's gui. On the Android phone, there are Apps tied to the particular services. On the phone, I've deleted the contents of the local phonebook, and just use the Memotoo one. Memotoo has the capability to delete its current contents and overwrite it with the contents of the server. That way any duplication is avoided.

Judging from what else you wrote, the devs didn't realize it when they approved it. This suggests to me that approval came too early in the process, before proper testing was done and that important parts of the program hadn't been completed. If so, is there anything that can be done to prevent this from happening yet again? I have the greatest respect for the developer's that put in considerable effort for each release. The problem with 6 month release cycle is too little time. I've used linux now for almost 6 years with Ubuntu and Fedora. Some distros use a two year release which is too long. One or two use an annual release which i think is about right... development and testing can fully take place. Why not consider an annual release which would give appropriate time for all to take place? james I would have to agree with you James, it might not be a bad idea for them to stretch their release time out a bit? I would have positives from all sides. First,the developers would be able to REALLY put their apps and what-not through a GRUELING testing session, this way...when they say it works.IT WORKS! Second,.the public wouldn't find themselves scurrying to acquire the latest version, and slamming it onto their machines without knowing that things won't crash burn un-necessarily..also it would give the public time to adapt and become comfortable with the latest release, instead of going into shock at the arrival of a new desktop environment...or new feature-sets that were not there before. I guess it's just a matter of someone (or a LOT of someone's) voicing their opinion loud enough to be heard by the higher-ups? I don't know that they would actually change things around like that(it would be NICE!) but eventually they might get restless enough to completely flip thing around and have longer time frames between releases. Maybe we should try out, say, a nine month cycle and if it doesn't suit - go back to six months?
