the only thing I would add, is that you probably shouldn't use fedup, because 
if I remember correctly, fedup puts an entry in the grub.conf to complete the 
installation after reboot, and being a remote server, you probably dont have 
access to choose this option when it reboots.

but I have had success in the past using 'yum --releasever=?? update' to 
update fedora versions, I have never done 2 versions at a time tho, but I cant 
see why it wouldnt work.

good luck

the best way to get the most recent packages when installing I think is to get 
the net install iso

then it should pull all the latest rpm's and a yum update after install 
"should" say nothing to do

download and yum update the patched akmod-nvidia, from this thread on fedora 
forums, http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=294091

then on reboot it should build a working kmod for your nvidia card.

I found a page with a lot of nonsensical ramblings on too, but then i found a 
section in it.

http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/misc-devices/mei/

Some examples of Intel AMT usage are:
 - Monitoring hardware state and platform components
 - Remote power off/on (useful for green computing or overnight IT
   maintenance)
 - OS updates
 - Storage of useful platform information such as software assets
 - Built-in hardware KVM
 - Selective network isolation of Ethernet and IP protocol flows based
   on policies set by a remote management console
 - IDE device redirection from remote management console

that might tell us something useful, tho quite what I'm not sure

Hi there,

I use xastir, you can actually build it yourself from the rpm spec file,

I obviously dont know your abilities when it comes to building rpms, but just 
incase you do you know about it heres what you can do...

goto the rpm build system called koji, here

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=5868

here you can see theres actually a build already for fC20 of xastir 2.0.4
if you download the .src rpm for that...

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/xastir/2.0.4/4.fc20/src/xastir-2.0.4-4.fc20.src.rpm

and install it as your user (not root) **(infact all the information you need 
on building rpms is here...
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package)**
you should get the the sources and spec file in a folder called rpmbuild, and 
the spec file is in SPECS

then using rpmbuild type "rpmbuild -ba xastir.spec"
and it will build an rpm for your system and arch and put it in the RPMS 
folder. it will also tell you which -devel packages you may need to build it.

now please this is a really short version and everything you need is in that 
link above.

anyhow I'v done this already but mine is built for x86_64, and I dont know 
what yours is, if your on i686 (32bit) then you'll probably want to do this 
process for yourself, or if you have x86_64 (64bit) your welcome to download 
mine from here...

http://airs.me.uk/RPMS/xastir-2.0.4-4.fc19.x86_64.rpm
**(I accept no responsibility for and data loss, problems encountered through 
using this rpm, I may have done something wrong, but hopefully not)**

I hope that helps in some way

Martin (G7VIA)

ps. somebody may and probably will come in and correct me on some points, 
which is fine I am no rpm guru.
pps. or maybe the email the guy who maintains the package at xastir-
ow...@fedoraproject.org (i think) and he'll probably build one for you

Tweetdeck works quite well, as an addon for chrome you can run it standalone, 
or you can just login to the website with firefox or any other browser.

there used to be an adobe AIR version,but unfortunately it was discontinued :(

sometimes what I do is make /home/martin/yum as my /home is on a bigger 
partition

then symlink, ln -s /var/cache/yum /home/martin/yum

and as I say the message maybe telling you that you need an extra 150mb of 
space on top of your 1.2G, 1.5G + 150M = 1.35G

maybe it actually need 1.35G free to perform the update??

it probably needs to download lots of rpms, can you put /var/cache/yum onto a

ok the next thing to try might be to

su
yum groupinstall "Basic X Window System"

then see if you can startx

after that if you have success you may want to install a desktop environment 
of your choice...

su
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop"

or

su
yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"

to get a list of available group do

yum grouplist


I hope that helps

I can get VLC to play this using the url...

but apart from that it just sits there in a browser endlessly transferring

Actually the latest version of Eric4 does work, I hadn't realised that the 
version in the fedora repos was so far behind.
The package maintainer has obviously given up.

the version in the repo is 4.4.19, yet the latest version from the Eric site 
is 4.5.10

downloading and installing the latest fixes the problem

Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
you continue to encounter problems, Please try
reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.

i too have the 00-nvidia.conf but for some reason i still needed to put those

otherwise maybe you could do as suggested and reinstall the nvidia drivers

sorry just to add, I found if glxinfo or glxgears didn't work, then chrome 
would indeed bomb X out to the login screen

You might find in your Xorg.0.log that it complains it couldn't load GLX

I had this too, I just had to make sure these lines were in my xorg.conf

Section "Files"
FontPath"/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"
ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg"
ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

you might find these lines in it, and for some reason it loads the GLX 
driver

ModulePath  "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath  "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers"
ModulePath  "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"

Have a look at Ampache (http://ampache.org)

I have mp3's in my OwnCloud, and that uses ampache to serve them to me using 
Amarok

I haven't installed ampache as a stand alone thing, but I think with a little 
reading of the documentation it shouldn't be too hard, and it'll do what your 
after

Amarok supports ampache btw

Hope that helps

The avahi-daemon should provide local network name resolution, for example my
pc is desktop.localdomain and my laptop is laptop.localdomain, on each I can
simply ping desktop.local or laptop.local

basically its just the first part followed by .local

my hostname could be foo.example and I would ping foo.local from another
machine on my network

hope that helps

I'v got a tablet as well I'd love to put linux on, but during my 
investigations into the subject there doesn't appear to any graphics drivers 
for a tablet screen, which is why the current ubuntu on android uses vnc to 
access it.

I figured I might aswell just run a vnc server on my desktop rather than 
installing ubuntu on my tablet and vncing into that, i see no difference in 
vncing to my desktop or to running ubuntu on my tablet.

i think once theres a proper driver for tablet screens we'll see some activity 
in this area

after you put the usb stick into your computer, type 'dmesg' in a console, the 
last entries should hopefully be related to a usb stick being inserted and 
maybe assigning it as /dev/sda1 or something similar.

if not, then hopefully its a error of some kind that can help you pinpoint 
what's failing

aha, thankyou very much for this, when I full screened a youtube video in

expected, but I only see half the player as if it were full screened over 2 
screens.

disabling pepperflash fixes this, I had no idea it was even there.

It works here, I have F17  X86_64 KDE 4.8.90

I downloaded the F16 i386 rpm from the site and yum installed it, it does take 
a little while to start tho, it sits there for maybe a minute, but then when 
it does startup its already logged in.

maybe it will log in if you wait long enough, mines set to autologin, so that 
might be what the wait is all about, I'm not sure

Using ss can tell you what sockets and ports are open, in particular ss -p 
will tell you which process is using said ports.

then iftop can tell you individual bandwidth usage for each port.

using the 2 could give you some idea on whats going on

yes, I have noticed that, glad its not just me

also sometimes right click does nothing first time you do it, and needs a

aaah, that tracker thing is like strigi for kde, it indexes all your files for 
fast searching i think, The way I stopped it was to yum install tracker-ui-
tools (which isn't installed by) default, and took out the directories it 
scans in there, and it doesn't start anymore for me, or you can just get rid 
of the relevant .desktop files in /etc/xdg/autostart, but they'll reappear 
after updates.

try tracker-ui-tools first and then you'll have a preferences tool to 
hopefully shut it off

with widgets unlocked, these notes should have a semi transparent border 
appear around them when you hover your mouse over them, and should have the 
usual resize, rotate and delete icons in it.

it maybe that they're too small to produce the border, or maybe the border 
does show up but too small to display it all correctly, can you resize them at 
least??

They are little "post it" notes, in your desktop settings under "mouse 
actions" your middle mouse button is set to "paste", so when you middle click 
on the desktop it pastes the current clip board contents into a "post it" note

depending on whats in your clip board at the time it should ask if you want to 
add a note or a webslice or an image.

anyway, just disable the paste option from your middle click button in desktop 
settings, then just delete the notes as any other plasmoid widget

If you go upto view and tick advanced controls, you should get a record 
button, a snapshot button, a loop button and a frame by frame button appear 
above the play button

the record button will dump in the format being played I believe into your 
home folder, it should have vlc in the title so you know which file it is.

hope that helps

sorry, one assumes that the OP is actually capable of going into a 
desktop just to tick the box, just to make the wireless network 
available in runlevel 3.

Hi there,

Go into your desktop of choice, and right click on the network manager 
icon, then edit connections and edit the wireless connection you want 
available in runlevel 3

then tick the box to "make available to all users"

then when you go into runlevel 3 that connection will still be connected 
in runlevel 3

Oh I see, it must be the fact that redhat are forwarding mail sent to
the old address to the new address.

In future you only need send mail to the new address, everyone will
still receive it
