When I boot my computer, I can see dvd-rw drive detected correctly, though 9 times out of 10 it does not get detected by OS - drive's icon is not present in nautilus hence I cannot access any cd or dvd. Although when I restart a computer and try to boot from cd or dvd - it works perfectly, then after coming back to the os the cd/dvd won't be accessible. I a have Fedora 13 installed from the DVD ISO.
View 4 RepliesI'm a very new Fedora user, and I've stumbled upon an issue which I can't seem to resolve. Having had a good look through similar issues, I'm still stuck.I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M3438G laptop, upon which I've recently installed Fedora 14. It seems to work great apart from one thing; CPU speed. The processor in the laptop should run at 2GHz. At the moment, it's running at 600MHz, and I simply can't get it any higher.
I've played around with power profiles a bit, not really knowing what I'm doing, but the issue seems to be that the CPU is somehow reporting to the Operating System that it's top speed is 600MHz.The BIOS on this laptop is very limited, and doesn't give me any clocking options whatsoever, so I can't manually set things like multipliers, etc.So, I guess my first question would be - how does the OS find out what the processor speed is, and is there any way of manipulating the top speed? Surely there must be a way for Speedstep compatible processors to exceed their initial clocks?
Today my desktop reverted to 1024x768 resolution immediately after init. I tried changing it back but only 1024x768 and 800x600 are listed as supported in the display settings, even though my monitor supports resolutions of up to 1360x768. Rebooting the system did not solve the problem.I'm running Fedora 15 x86_64 on kernel 2.6.38.8-35 with the proprietary nvidia drivers of version 275.09.07. My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 933n. nvidia-settings is apparently not detecting it correctly, it thinks I'm using a CRT monitor.I was actually in this exact same situation a few months back, but it kind of went away on its own, so I didn't mind too much. So, what could be causing this, and what can I do?

lspci | grep VGA
I get this 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10). how I can get my monitor/graphics recognized to work in the Full Resolution.
I bough a 640 GB external USB disk.I found something wasn't working well when I couldn't restore a backup from the disk (with sbackup).So I tried to convert the filesystem from fat32 to something newer.I installed gparted, and it shows no partitions on the 640 drive (however, I can access the filesystem!!!). Also, for some reason it shows as a 298.08 GiB drive.So I thought I should format it to solve this. When I tried to do this, gparted simply closed, with no error messages.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had windows 7 installed on my machine and decided to go with a ubuntu win7 dual boot. The install went fine, but Ubuntu doesn't see my second HDD as anything but empty. My second HDD I set up in win7. It is actually two 320GB HDD striped together. It is holding alot of data that I would like to be able to access from both win7 and ubuntu.
When I run fdisk -l in the terminal I get:
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf1c572ca .....
So Ubuntu sees the two HDD, just not as one with all my data on it like I see it in windows. Is there a way to set it up so I can use that second HDD (the two stripped) in both win7 and Ubuntu?

WHAT is going on???? Is this CDwriter too old for this Suse 8.2???

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a backup HDD with a different distro for my laptop and i can boot into it via external usb or if swapped into the laptop. This HDD/install in question is debian testing and was working fine, the issue arose suddenly. I was first suspecting a failure of hardware somewhere on the motherboard, but the hdd i was using with an external usb adapter also works when installed into the machine. also, the HDD is recognized once i have booted using the external HDD and distro, but it is not recognized by the bios. so i dunno, my first guess is something became corrupt within the testing install, but i guess its also possible that there is some wrong with the HDD but thats not immediately apparent as all the data is still accessible.
Should also note that the HDD with testing on it is also recognized when connected via the external usb adapter, while booted from alternative distro/HDD.
Also. just tried this, but i can get the testing HDD/disto to boot if connected externally. it was going pretty quick, but there i did catch a line about a corrupt filesystem. any commands to run to see what might be going on?? log files to look at?
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. The drive was formatted when I installed so it's 100% Ubuntu. The only major problem I have encountered is that Ubuntu will not recognize my SD cards. I really need to access these cards, all my film footage is on there. I think the internal SD card reader (If such a thing exists) would have been deleted during the installation process. I am a greenthumb to Ubuntu and have never used it before so I am rather stuck...

I have a dedicated server with fc-9. I have several domains. They are located in /home/domainname/html Under each /home/domainname I have added a webalizer.conf file. Recently I moved video files into a subdomain so I could track usage and generate reports on the use of these video files. Hence the main domain html files call the sub-domain to present flash files for viewing and .avi, .ogm, mp4, etc files for downloading.
So I have for directories:
/home/domain/html
/home/domain_files/html
I set up the domain_files as I have the main domain with access_log and error_log. I set up webalizer to analyze every day at midnight. What I get for webalizer results is links back to Sept, even though the logfile's first enter is in January. I also see many files in the report that are from a totally different domain. I have checked carefully and in webalizer.conf I have: LogFile /home/domain_files/access_log I'm lost. I haven't a clue what's wrong. If webalizer can't do this is there another simple logfile analyzer that can give me video usage?

I installed google-earth (newest) and when it failed to work I tried adding the /usr/google-earth dir to the library path via /etc/ld.so.conf.d/google-earth.conf ( i made this file and added the /usr/google-earth dir to it) this didn't work and I found the correct work around to remove the included libs in the /usr/google-earth dir forgetting to remove the first workaround i did.
now it gets weird... a little while after I ran gthumb and it crashed... run it in a terminal and I see it complaining about the same files as google earth was before ... uh oh i thought and removed my fix and rebooted... well X wouldn't start after that and I thought maybe I have to rebuild /etc/ld.so.cache so I ran ldconfig and reboot and now everythign works great EXCEPT when I open the "Computer" or Trash Icon from the desktop or menu the background is white (normally black) until i click view->compact or view->icon and it goes back to black... this repeats everytime I open the window and all newly open windowsI created a new user to test to see it it was profile related and the new user has the same behaviour.Fedora 12 (upgraded since fc7)Edit: I see this in ~/.xsession-errors

After upgrading my Sony VAIO from Fedora 12 to Fedora 13 my NFS shares don't seem to be working correctly. First of all, mounting them via /etc/fstab is quite slow now. More importantly, When I transfer files from my laptop client to my NFS share, the owner/group on the client become "nobody". However, on the NFS server, they are both "root". I am using a script containing "cp" commands to perform backups of certain directories, retaining original owner/group info. Since the Fedora 13 upgrade, the script complains with each file that it was unable to preserve the information, and the end of the line always contains "Invalid argument".
As a last resort, I upgraded the 'server' (a 64 bit version) from Fedora 12 to Fedora 13. There has been no improvement.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a RAID1 array with two disks. I wanted to remove one of the disk and replace it by a new one. I first expanded the array from 2 to 3 components and let RAID rebuild completely. When this was done I used Gnome disk utility (palimpsest) to remove the component on the disk I want to get rid of. It looks like palimpsest did mess up somewhere because the array is no displaying as degraded. How can I get rid of the "removed" entry (was /dev/sdc1) in the RAID array (and hopefully have it come in Running state)?

I have a strange problem, icons are not showing up correctly in various places, attaching some screens to better show the problem.
Anything I open that has a notification icon, just appears exactly the same, as you can see in one of the screens even hovering over certain things brings up that same icon...

fonts not showing up correctly in web browsers and the likes, more specifically bold fonts. On some sites, these show up correctly, but on others, they don't. I have no idea what's causing this, as it seems to have happened without me doing anything (like, literally, I opened a terminal window, then went back to my browser (Chrome, but I suppose that doesn't matter, as it happens on all browsers) and the problem showed up. Note that these fonts used to show up just fine.

I have a laptop that doesn't display correctly since installing F10 x86-64. Instead of using the i810 driver, I see the experimental intel driver. I am running on a Dell D630 laptop with the default intel integrated graphics.
Just to note: Running gnome. I tried KDE and I can actually get this to work and display in 1600x1200. I don't want, "well use kde then" to be the solution. Also, in gnome, if I go to the screen resolution option from the menu, the mirron screens is clicked. Even when I detect monitors and unselect the mirror screens and pick the correct resolution, when I click OK, the screen flickers, and I go back to the same screen with the original default values? Wierd.
I got the bright idea to install system-config-display (something like that), which installed fine. I then changed my default resolution to 800x640 just to try it (really want 1600x1200). Well, I decided to reboot. Not the laptop doesn't start, it stops right after loading anaconda, and just won't go any further.
So two questions:
1. What do I need to change to get the laptop to actually boot?
2. How to get the external monitor to display in 1600x1200.

I went through the Fedora 11 DVD setup process up to the partition screen, which does show my external SATA drive correct as; /dev/sda when connected by eSATA, but it shows the internal drive which is a standard IDE, as; /dev/sdf , when it should be as; sdb, why ? I did run that fdisk -l in a terminal from one of my other installed Linux, and it did show drives as correct, ( sda, sdb ). I think this may be a issue related to the digital media card reader built into this 2006 Gateway desktop computer being detected as drives like Windows does and assigns drive letters, or is this some bug in Fedora 11 ?

Recently I installed FC 11 on my laptop. The OS is not displaying the battery status correctly in the notification area. if I remove the power cord after 100 % charging, the status remains the same even during discharging. It never informs me the correct discharge status or any warning when the battery power is critically low. This is causing unexpected shut downs and data loss to me. Is this a bug ? Do we have a solution for this. My laptop is Compaq CQ40-327TU; dual boot with Vista as alternate OS.

I've just managed to compress my LVs, extend my VG to my new SSD, move the LVs to the SSD and remove the old disk from the VG. All is well and good (mind you, I did kill my /home partition but it's sorted now...)
My next step was to shrink the PV (I think that's what I want to shrink?) so that I can add another partition to the SSD (to reduce compile times). See below for my current setup. I have a 35G PV with LVs totalling around 33G but the "partition" of the LVM is still 58G.
