Fedora Installation :: Awesome Doesn't Work / Resolve This?
Jul 31, 2011
I've installed the Awesome WM using "sudo yum install awesome" (as described here https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Awesome-3-fedora ). I can also log into awesome, but nothing works! I can open the menu on the top left of the screen, but when I click on e.g. "Open Terminal", nothing happens. Same thing for all other menu options except "Shut down" which logs me out of Awesome. I've also tried the terminal shortcut, but nothing works.
Has anyone an idea how to make it work?

I upgraded from F11(x86_64) to F12 with no reported errors. (expected an update session to follow, but it didn't.)
Tried a manual "yum update" and it aborted with a notice that libssl.so.8 was not found (required by python-2.6.2). I didn't find anything useful at wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq.
The DVD installs python-2.6.2-2 (8/21/09) and openssl-1.0.0-0.10.beta3 (10/16/09). /usr/lib/libssl.so.10 is a symbolic link to libssl.1.0.0. libssl.so.8 is not found, really.
I thought of replacing openssl with one from F11 but it was required by too many packages - couldn't remove.
I tried to find a later rpm of python, but couldn't locate any Fedora directories with individual packages.
I've searched the web and the forums. What am I missing?

I installed openSUSE 11.3 under 2 machines, one of them using a Linksys USB wireless N adapter (rt73usb) and another using an Atheros AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (ath5k). I have a Belkin f5D8236-4 router, with the SSID "linksys". I also have an Ubuntu 10.04 machine which has working wireless internet. I know almost nothing about networking, but from what I can tell, openSUSE 11.3 seems to have trouble with DHCP, specifically setting the dynamic IP address. To try to go about fixing this, I attempted to set a static IP, but I am quite confused by all the settings.
I have tried both the graphical "Network Manager" (KDE, Gnome, and command line versions) and ifup, both with no luck.
Here is the information from the working Ubuntu machine code...

I'm not great with computers. I have no clue how to fix this kind of thing. I went into Alsamixer, and it says my card is an Intel 82801CA-ICH3. I have updated all of the files that needed updated, turned up the master volume and it still doesn't work. Somebody please explain this to me in words I can understand.

Nvidia either works or it doesn't work under Fedora 10 64 bit OS. I have re-installed Fedora 10 64 bit and Fedora 11 64 bit 10 times each and it's getting real old. I keep erasing my system because Nvidia doesn't want to work. Leighs post does no good on this issue and neither does anyone else's or else it would work.

I'm trying to dual boot 9.10 with Vista on an HP Pavilion Slimline (AMD64). I've tried both booting from a disk and using Wubi, and neither has worked. Booting from the disk takes me through the screen where I can choose to try Ubuntu without installing, but after selecting that, the desktop didn't load, the screen just went to black.
I decided to try Wubi, and it went well enough. Everything in windows worked, and upon rebooting, it was able to finish checking the installation. After one more reboot, I selected Ubuntu from the Windows boot manager, and then the grub command prompt appears. I can't seem do anything after that except reboot.
I have no idea what's going on with this computer.

Fedora (2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64) I installed that update, during the installation process it said that it had to remove three packages, one of them was kmod nvidia for the old kernel (Fedora (2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64))After the update finished installing the new kernel, I restarted the system and Nvidia did not load. (I assume because Update manager removed the old nvidia? But I also assumed that a new version would be installed automatically?)I received the following Boot messages:
Code:
Entering non-interactive startup
Starting monitoring for VG vg_user1: 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_user1" monitored
[code]....
I'm confused, if Update Manager removed kmod nvidia, then why does yum say it is installed? And why doesn't the new kernel update work with that version? Or should I install a driver version for that particular kernel? I've read while searching that I need to install a kmod-nvidia for that particual kernel version and that I should login to my previous kernel until that happens, is that the problem I'm having?
Why don't rpmfusion and fedoraproject release the kmod-nvidia and kernel updates at the same time to avoid problems such as this? Does anyone know how long does it usually take for rpmfusion to release the new kmod-nvidia driver for the latest kernel?

I have:
AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core Processor
nVidia GeForce 9500 GT graphics card
dual monitors
I installed F11 from the DVD iso. The nouveau driver seemed to work and I could get both monitors working with xrandr.
Then I tried to install the nvidia drivers. I installed akmod-nvidia.
They didn't work. I got this in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
Quote:
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0

On my PC (fresh FC11 i386 instllataion from CDs), dhclient doesn't work. When it tries to get an IP address with dhclient, it gets No DHCPOFFERS reveived and fails. The ethernet of my PC works fine - I can manually set IP address, netmask, gateway etc. to connect to my persoal Linksys router, but if I change to DHCP, it fails as above. So it's not the problem of the ethernet driver of FC11. I suspect that dhclient of FC11 is buggy. (For the record, DHCP works fine on FC10 and Windows XP with my Linksys router.)

I have the Fedora 14 64bit Live CD on a 4GB USB Flash drive, via Live-USB-Creator. I have bootcamp installed on my Macbook Pro (5,5) with OSX, Windows 7, and Ubuntu already installed. I plan to install Fedora over the Ubuntu.
1.)So, when refit boots up, I choose the EFI USB (Fedora) and the Fedora screen comes up.
2.) I click any key to dismiss the auto boot
3.) I click "e" to edit the Fedora kernel, then I edit the first option and add the line "nomodeset"
4.) I press enter, and then "b" to boot that line. The screen kind of goes whack and a fair amount of super small (unreadable) text comes up on the screen and then just hangs with the blinking (_)
If I go into Grub via "c", and type in "nomodeset" it gives me an Error 27 Unrecognized command. And I've read online to press TAB to go into grub, but TAB does nothing for me.

So I've been trying to install to an iSCSI target for the past two weeks and while the installation finishes, booting doesn't work. I get dropped to a shell after boot installation. I have seen some bugs on red hat bugzilla 705213, but don't know how to resolve it. I'm new to Fedora but really want to embrace the distro

Recently my home PC crashed and I had to re-installed it. I put a "clean" install of Fedora11, then copied my /home directory and some other stuff over from the old installation.I have a couple of PHP scripts I wrote, and one of them stopped working. It uses cURL, and when I enable error tracking I get:cURL error number:6cURL errorouldn't resolve host 'www.host.com'I started digging around and I found out Apache doesn't resolve anything at all, so it's not only a cURL problem. For example,
$ip = gethostbyname('host.com');
echo $ip; die();
returns "host.com" and not an IP address.My best guess so far is that Apache has no access to the DNS service (from command line and in browsers everything resolves). had a suspicion it's a SElinux issue and disabled it, but that didn't change anything.I found some old forum posts mentioning problems with chroot-ed Apache, but I haven't done anything to mine and in any case couldn't figure out what the problem was, or the solution, so I'm stuck.

I burned Fedora onto a disk, but when I turn on the system it just goes straight to the Windows XP login.
I thought it was something wrong with the disk or something like that, but when I pop in the disk on my Dad's laptop, the installation for Fedora runs perfectly.
Also, yes, I checked the order for booting and the CD drive comes before the hard drive.

I tried to upgrade to Leonidas from Cambridge, but didn't have enough space on the partition /, so I soft linked /var/cache/yum (or whatever) to a larger partition, but now the upgrade does not find the subdirectory called preupdate (it's there in the linked dir, checked). Is there any more sofisticated way around than changing parition sizes and copying and stuff?

I have an HP Pavilion m7480n PC with Windows XP installed on the C-drive. I successfully installed FC 12 onto the spare USB drive. When I rebooted the PC all I got was a blinking underscore at the extreme upper left position of a totally black screen. After a bit of experimenting I found that if I hit the F1 key during the boot process, go into the BIOS setup, do nothing within the setup, and press ESC to get out of the setup then the PC will go back into the boot cycle a second time. During the second time however a small text message appears with words to the effect "Press any key to enter GRUB..." after which the GRUB splash screen comes up with the choice for FC 12 or "Other" (referring to Win XP). At that point I can boot into either one.

I have a new Dell R710 dual processor machine I'm trying to install Fedora 11 x86_64 on (all versions I mention in this post are x86_64 bit). I downloaded the cd iso files, burned them to cd (I don't have a DVD burner), then told my machine to boot to the optical drive.
I get a very brief introduction message about ISOLINUX then the monitor refreshes and gives me the following message: "Press the <Enter> key to begin the installation process."
Naturally, I press the Enter key(s) on my keyboard. Nothing happens. I try Alt ASCII combinations that might mimic an Enter key. No dice. ctrl-alt-delete works, however, and the machine reboots.
My checksums for the iso's are perfect, and the install process triggers perfectly on other machines. Just not this one.
After much vain research, I download the Fedora 11 Live-KDE, burn it to CD and try it. It doesn't work - the same thing happens. I tried the net install, and it doesn't work either.
On a lark, I download the Fedora 10 Live KDE iso and burn it to cd. It works perfectly and skips the "Enter" phrase entirely. I take my Fedora 11 Live KDE disc and put it in another machine and it, too, works perfectly, which leads me to believe my cd burns are fine.
I've also used usb creator to create a bootable USB drive. It doesn't ask me to press enter - it just fails with a really arcane IF=0 error (arcane to me, anyway).
So I'm at a loss. I'd like to install Fedora 11 on this machine, but may end up with Fedora 10 or CentOS if I can't figure this out.
Is there some weird BIOS setting somewhere I'm missing? I find it really weird that my fedora 10 cd works, but my fedora 11 cd does not (but my fedora 11 cd works in other machines).

Downloaded the torrent first, burned to a new DVD-RW, and tried all install options I could think of. Then downloaded to file, burned to another new DVD-RW, same result. This morning I downloaded the Live CD, and it got all the way to the blue screen just before the login page, and stuck there. I finally gave up and reinstalled Fedora 10 again on my drive. The problen seemed to be with a missing or corrupted package, although I can't remember exactly remember which one. My machine is a custom one, Nvidia Gforce, and an Elite Group MB. F10 runs fine, no problems at all. Is this a commom problem with 11?
