Wacom tablet input of traditional Chinese
Dear Folks, I have failed to discover documentation written in English on how to configure Fedora with Gnome to input traditional Chinese characters from handwriting on a Wacom tablet. This is for my wife, who needs this type of input. I know other methods are far faster, but this is what she wants. Any pointers to documentation on how to get this working please? -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org ni...@nicku.org GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

UEFI: After upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, F19 grub menu does not appear
Dear Folks, I installed Fedora 19 on my son's laptop, and it worked beautifully with the already installed Windows 8. Then foolishly, I upgraded the Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Now it boots straight to Windows 8.1 and grub does not appear. I disabled secure boot in the firmware. I do not even know which version of grub was booting the UEFI system before; it just worked. Now I need to know. Can anyone suggest: 1. What grub would the Fedora 19 installer have provided to boot it and Windows 8? (grub2, grub-efi,...) 2. Can anyone point to any documentation on how to fix this? I am a little nervous on this, as I once attempted to upgrade an F18 UEFI stand alone system from grub-efi to grub2 with the result that I could not boot the machine, and wound up re-installing Fedora.

Experiences with fedup-cli: 18 - 19: very long download process
Dear Folks, I'll share my experience with upgrading four (non-virtual) machines from Fedora 18 to Fedora 19. In each case, I used fedup-0.7.3-4.fc18.noarch from updates-testing, performing a network upgrade. None of the upgrades were hampered by lack of disk space. The first two went beautifully, flawlessly, and fairly rapidly. After the success of my home machine, I upgraded my work machine from home, and when I came to work on Monday morning it worked perfectly well for me; I was a very happy camper! The third machine is a single core, old ASUS 1000e Eee PC; the downloading appeared to stall after several hours. I restarted fedup-cli --network 19 and it finished after a while longer, and upgraded just fine after the reboot. The fourth machine through, has taken the most time. It's a Lenovo x121e, the only one of the three that was a fresh install of F18. The fedup-cli download process went for more than 40 hours before I interrupted it. fedup-cli was showing all the packages repeatedly, cycling from the beginning of the alphabet after finishing the z packages. Next to each package was written 0B, presumably because it had already been downloaded. I interrupted the process twice and restarted after that initial long wait, and finally it finished this morning, and the upgrade after the reboot went smoothly and rapidly with the solid state disk. On Fedora 19, I am happy with the state that it is in now, and find it works well for me. -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org ni...@nicku.org GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -- 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?

F18: rescue EFI boot from rescue disk: cannot modprobe efivars
Dear Folks, I tried to upgrade my Fedora 18 x86_64 on my Lenovo X121e laptop from grub-efi to grub2-efi with a failure to boot. I followed the wiki entry for Fedup, under Updating GRUB. From a rescue disk, I cannot run efibootmgr. The response is always, Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables. Try modprobe efivars as root Now this has no visible effect. I have been unable to run efibootmgr. I would really appreciate some ideas on what I can do now to boot this machine. -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org ni...@nicku.org GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -- 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?

F16 on iMac 27 inch: insufficient partitions
Dear Folks, Am installing Fedora 16 on my son's iMac 27 inch. The installer wants an additional 2 MB 'BIOS boot' partition. The only trouble is that I can only make four primary partitions, and this increases the required count to five, as far as I can tell. Current partitioning scheme: sda1200 MB EFI System Partition sda2 20467 MB hfs+ [contains MacOS] sda3250 MB ext4 /boot sda4 748746 MB LVM physical volume The LVM is partitioned into: 5024 MB swap 50016 MB / 693696 MB /home The installation will not proceed; the error message box says, Partitioning Errors The partitioning scheme you requested caused the following critical errors you have not created a bootloader stage 1 target device You must correct these errors before you continue your installation of Fedora. == I am using rEFIt. I was not able to create any logical partitions. Any suggestions here, so that MacOS can still be booted, as well as Fedora be installed? I take it this is required for Grub2. I have had Fedora 15 and earlier running fine on this machine with a similar partitioning arrangement. Does anyone have any suggestions? Can I tell anaconda to go ahead and install anyway so I can come back with a rescue disk and install grub 1? -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org ni...@nicku.org GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -- 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

Re: Fedora 14: Sound, video on iMac 27 inch
Dear Folks, On 15/05/11 14:12 +1000, Nick Urbanik wrote: Dear Folks, Okay, after much mucking about, I now have sound through the headphones only, not yet through the speakers. I added this line to /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf: options snd-hda-intel model=imac27 The clue came from seeing this kernel patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/758902/ Next to get sound out through the speakers. Any ideas anyone? It simply came down to running alsamixer -c0, unmuting all the outputs, including surround sound, and saving the results with sudo alsactl store 0. Now my son's speakers work! Next is to get the video working with the non-proprietary drivers. It seems that the problem, according to David Arlie, is the monitor, not the video card.

Dear Folks, when I do: # mkdir secret $ sudo mount -t ecryptfs secret secret Unable to link the KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING into the KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING; there is something wrong with your kernel keyring. Did you build key retention support into your kernel? $ lsmod | grep crypt ecryptfs 89320 0 I've had this work on my laptop. Why not on my x86_64 F14 box with all updates applied?

Re: Starting br0 device after waking from suspend

I think that NetworkManager is still useful for wireless networking that the iMac has built in, and disabling NetworkManager may not necessarily solve the problem of calling dhclient after waking up. I suspect that it is possible to retain the benefits of NetworkManager for other transient networks while solving the immediate problem of calling dhclient on waking up.

Starting br0 device after waking from suspend

Appropriate values for gitversion, gitdate when building RPM packages

Re: Installing F12 on Mactel
Dear Leon, On 08/01/10 19:47 +, Leon Stringer wrote: Hi, I've tried to install F12 on my Core 2 Duo iMac. The installation seemed to go okay but there's no sign of Fedora when I boot. I hold down the Option key and just get the MacOS partition. Is there a trick to this? Please consider using rEFIt: http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/ The iMac uses EFI, and the approach I took was this: 1. Install Mac OS updates. 2. Run bootcamp, resize the iMac partition so that I have one large partition extra. 3. rEFIt (I think I did steps 2, 3 in this order: read rEFIt docs) 4. Boot F11 installation disk (Note that last time I checked, F12 has no proper support for the iMac 27 ATI Technologies Inc Device [1002:9488] video; I installed F11 so that the proprietary driver will work till the free driver is available. The alternatives appear to be: install the F11 xorg compoiled for F12 (can be downloaded from somewhere), or Ubuntu have a deal with ATI to package a preview version of the 10.4 driver: extract from the .deb package, build and install) 5. I did not delete the EFI partition, nor the Mac partition, so I made one small /boot partition and then made the rest into an LVM partition, and used that to make swap and /home partitions. -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org ni...@nicku.org GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -- 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
