Since "upgrading" to 11.4 with KDE desktop my machine is becoming difficult to wake up. After a period of inactivity the disks power down and would power up as soon as I started a program or selected say; Dolphin from the desktop.
Now if I click on an icon I get the bouncing ball for a while and then nothing. The bouncing icon just disappears. I cannot get programs to run and this evening had to restart, which did respond. Before it shut down all the programs I had tried and failed to start proceeded to start, only to be stopped again by the shut down.
This didn't happen with 11.2. Cannot be sure it is software related but are there any checks I can do or is there a sure fire way to wake the machine up?
After searching online and in these forums I found two different ways of installing the Nvidia drivers in fedora 12. If you haven't yet installed the the repos then:
Code: su rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm First way: as su (1) yum --enablerepo=rp*g install kmod-nvidia.$(uname -m) xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64
[Code]...
I used the first way and everything seems to work fine. Compiz-fusion works good but i did have to add vga=795 to /boot/grub/grub.conf to get the graphical boot loader to work again. Should I have used the second method? What is the difference in these two ways? Most notably the second steps. Is one way better or preferred over the other? From my understanding you must do this because of the nouveau driver.
I installed Fedora 15 with gnome3 on my netbook and after some slight trouble I got it installed Now heres the the bad news: grub doesn't show my Ubuntu installations(s), only Fedora 15 and windowz 7
I hve to install ns 2.26 on fc8 and am having the following errors during my installation: checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ - 3.3) works... no configure: error installationor cofiguration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. NS configuration failed! Exiting... ow i made some research and found out that the problem may be coused because the ns 2.26 may require gcc versions lower than 3. So i started te adventure of intalling gcc 2.95 as a second gcc on my PC. After following an instalation guide i tryed th install an received these 2 errors:
make[1]: *** [libgcc2.a] Error 1 [3:53:33 MD] Blerina Top�iu: make:***[all-gcc] Error 2 I have got so many errors for today.
Well I just freshly installed Fedora 12 from a live CD onto my laptop and I would like to do the same with a new computer I picked up recently. Going anti Windows. Anyways it is a Acer Revo 1600, The computer is running Windows Home Edition with SP3. I do not have a optical drive since the computer is the size of a router, I do however have a USB but I can't not find it to save my life. So how would I go about installing Fedora 12? I have tried the mirror method but couldn't figure out how to do it. Does any just just have a link with a download button and it be simple as that. Also like Wubi I can keep Windows and Linux, Is there something like that but with Fedora 12 and I can still keep XP. how would I also download and try Fedora 13 Alpha?
When I boot up, my Laptop reports the operating systemis missing??? Unless, I put my XP installation disk in the drive, thenFedora will boot up fine.If I put the Live install Fedora disk in & choose to boot from the HD, again it reports the OS is missing??Clearly it isn't as here I am using Fedora after booting leaving myation disdrive.Incidentally, I don't have windows installed, Fedora only.
I've just installed Fedora 10 LIVE CD on USB (1GB) on a MSI WIND Netbook (no optical drive) and realise I don't have the extra packages options available for installation. I do have the DVD ISO and I'm just wondering if there's a way of accessing packages in the DVD without reinstallation, like Open Office, Gimp etc. Is there a way of accessing softwares in the DVD ISO? or Some how install them into my currently running Fedora 10 on my MSI WIND?
I'm installing Fedora 11 onto 4 500GB HDs....and I want it to be a RD5.
What would be the best way to do this?
1 - software raid each 500GB into a RD5, then create a LVM boot/swap/and / partitions? Is it even possible to do this? And performance wise, is this ok?
2 - the first two 500GBs into a RD0 and load the OS onto this raid, create a RD0 onto the second two 500GB, then just use rsync to mirror the first RD0 onto the second RD0...which I know isn't REALLY a RAID, but will be more of a backup onto the second raid. This probably will show the best performance, but isn't a raid.
Because the /boot has to be on a mirror drive I think my options are pretty limited.
During my two previous installation, I almost never try to include or exclude package during the process. I want to know if I only want to install XFCE as my only DE, how can i do it during the installation progress (I Know i can install both, or even with KDE, but I also know that i can do it later should I change my mind)?
Second question is, if I install only XFCE, what will I miss ?(no, not the gnome feature, but maybe fedora distro(gnome) specific tool or something). Last word, no I'm not asking what feature of gnome is absent in xfce nor which DE is better, so don't start it.
I just got a new desktop PC with Intel i5 650 Dual Core 3.2GHz 4M Turbo. I would load up the installation cd, once I selected to install the screen would go blank and nothing happens. Centos 5.4 work, but I just want Fedora 12 installed.
I have had problems getting Fedora 12 installed on esxi. I have 20gb of hd space and 2gb of ram. Everytime I try to load Fedora, it freezes during the install. I don't know if maybe I'm downloading bad torrents or what. Has anyone ever ran across this issue? Is there a different source I should be downloading from?
Having searched this and other forums and googled without valid results, I need some help. I've been a linux user since RH 5.2, having experimented with several distros but have not run into this problem previously. I've just installed F13 for the third time. Each time the installation completes without any apparent error but when I reboot, I get the following message:Quote:
Error No Active Partition Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082) copyright ... This product is covered by one or more of the following patents ... Realtek PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller Series v2.26 (090219) PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE-M06: Exiting PXE ROM
The cable failure is consistent with there being no cable and inability to configure wireless during install. I used the custom partitioning option during install and was very careful to search for any fields I might have missed initially.
I want to install Amahi and Fedora14 on a desktop which is already running Windows XP. The detailed guide for installation at the Amahi site, which I intended to follow, assumes a clean installation with no XP. I have downloaded and burnt to DVD the Fedora 14 Desktop Edition. I have one 1,5 TB HDD with much unallocated space outside the partitioning for XP. When I restart the PC, it will boot XP. The boot options in the BIOS does not allow me to set the DVD as a boot priority. How do I start the installation process?
I started installing fedora 15 from CD on a dell Vista Laptop (2hz 1g ram) but after the logo finished turning white it stays on the blue screen with the bird.I have been trying fedora 13 and xubuntu on this cheap old con of a laptop from pc world and things run smooth (E-system 1.7hz 512RAM vista
Im trying to install fedora 11 on my MacBook (Aluminum Series) but its not working.I turn on my mac...boot from the DVD...follow the instructions to install the fedora on my mac ( 3 partitions = [1-swap, 2-boot, 3-main]) and it installs normally, installs all the packages. When the installing is finished...it says click on reboot..When i do that, it seems like its rebooting...but the screen turns black for a long long long time that after a while im forced to manually turn off my mac. And when i turn it on...and see if the fedora is installed, There is nothing but my mac OS
I am completely new to linux and I want to install Fedora on my older PC. The PC is running 2.3 GHZ pentium 4 processor, 512mb Ram, and about 80GB free on the harddrive.
The PC is a Dell 8300 series and is already running Windows XP. I want to be able to dual boot Fedora and XP. I was following a tutorial but I cannot find the link anymore otherwise you would be able to view it and see if its a bad tutorial.
The tutorial had it so that I was downloading and creating and ISO Disk from here [url]. The next step was that I boot from the newly created disc by changing the setting in the BIOS. Then the tutorial instructed that I change the partition size for windows inside fedora after it boots. however I never got that far
When I booted off of the Fedora disk that I created the machine would get a message that said "Missing operating system"
I also tried booting from a flash drive but it did the same thing
It would be great if anyone could help me out, or point me to a better tutorial. Please take note that I am very green. I am not a programmer and I have limited skills on the computer. I just wanted to get my hands dirty by playing around in Fedora. So I may not understand all the Linux lingo yet.
I've recently installed Fedora 10 on a space computer. It works fine until I tried to install Mplayer.
As i've read on a number of sites that there is a dependency problem, I went through loads of websites looking for a fix. I found nothing that would work.
Now i'm stuck with a problem that i think might be worse. If I start a .RPM I get the following message.
Now when i try to install other things it's hit and miss, I tried to install VLC and got the same message.
I've got no idea what i've done to get to this point and i don't really want to reinstall fedora 10 again.
I have a dual boot system - WinXP and Fedora 10. I am happy with my fedora 10, but as usual the WinXP has lots of malware on it. So I wish to reinstall it and patch it up with a AV. Is it possible to reinstall WinXP without breaking the system - becoz AFAIK, installing will remove grub from the superblock and then there will be no way to reload fedora even if it is still there. Can't I copy grub and the partition table away and reinstall it from windows after the intallation completes? That way I shall have my dual boot system back as usual if I didnot do any changes to the partition table during the fresh windows installation.
This is my problem: My laptop had Windows Vist installed by default, I made the partition of the hard disk and installed Fedora. Fedora worked well, but when I tried to boot in Vista, the system was crashed and I needed to recover it. When I recovered Vista, I could not boot in fedora.

I've a rented dedicated server with (presumably) no window manager installed.How would I go on about installing Xfce? (the ultimate goal is being able to VNC into it)I checked but that seems to assume you already have a window manager, so I was a bit wary of just trying it.
Im trying to install fedora 10 on the ps3 but i get a blank screen after the media test question, i tested the media in this case the CD and it says it has no errors but when it goes to install it switches to a blank screen and gets stuck. Can anybody help me, or tell me what im doing wrong. Steps that i taken.
1.Download the ppc version of fedora10. burn the ISO-image using the lowest possible setting. 2. i made a foder in my usb stick called PS3 and inside has another folder called otheros then inside it has the file otheros.bld 3. formatted the ps3 using the xmb. to 10 gigs for the other OS. 4. install Other OS using the usb stick that i made, install successful. 5. switch to other OS, using the XMB through systems settings. 6. Next I see a cd , i click on it with a mouse, see two penguins two options install 32 bit or 64 bit, i choose 64 bit. 7. then i get a media test question , choose skip and loads from CD. 8.Switches to blank screen and nothing else happens.
Due to a combination of factors, if installing from the Live CD, you must have at least two partitions available. One will be a small (around 200 MB) /boot partition. The / (root filesystem) partition must be formatted as ext4 while the /boot partition must be formatted as ext2 or ext3.
The normal installation CD set and DVDs don't have this issue.
If you choose to install the Live CD and don't follow this scheme (you can, of course, have additional partitions besides /boot and /), the LiveCD won't install.
First, hello from me to this forum, i just installed fedora 11 (i switched from ubuntu) Secondly, i need your help about mp3 plugin and this message from setroubleshooter
Code: SELinux is preventing consoletype (consoletype_t) "read write" pppd_t. Now, for the mp3, i installed the xmms()plugin, but it still doesent have sound and it wont open mp3 formats. About the second problem, i read thread that i must make some file and to "allow" the troubleshooter something(dunno what) edit i can play music in a program called xine, but i want to play the music in rhythmbox and movie player ps if there are any more plugins that i need to install for watching movies, please write what i must install
I am using Fedora 11 and tried to install opera .I used the command yum install opera-9.64.gcc4-shared-qt3.x86_64.rpm (i downloaded rpm file and i was in the downloaded directory).Yum did check for dependencies and solved it to.At last it threw the error "Package opera-9.64.gcc4-shared-qt3.x86_64.rpm is not signed".
I'm attempting to install either F10 or F11 for PPC (from DVD) on an IBM P505 (1-U rackmount dual Power5 server) The machine has no video card, only a serial console, so I'm attaching a laptop via null-modem cable and using either Hyperterminal or Tera Term Pro to interact with it. With the terminal attached and set to 19200 N-8-1, when I boot the machine from the installation DVD I see the POST / management firmware messages and get to the boot: prompt with no problem. I've tried the following combinations:
boot: linux boot: linux text boot: linux text serial
In all cases, the kernel boots normally (the messages come out clearly on the console). Once Anaconda starts up, however, all the installation dialogs are garbled -- the text and entry fields aren't lined up, the navigation elements only partially work, and all of the "outline / box" elements are rendered using strange characters that wrap around at the end of lines. I've tried various terminal emulation settings in Tera Term / Hyperterminal with the same results. One additional bit of information is that in the F10 install, the "skip media check" dialog is displayed correctly, whereas with F11 it is garbled in the same way as the subsequent Anaconda dialogs.
The upshot is that I can't proceed with the installation. I know that earlier versions of Anaconda must have worked with this system, because one of my colleagues had repeatedly (re-)installed RHEL5 on the machine. He's also installed F10 on a Mac G5 server from the same media, but of course that machine has a graphics adapter and a traditional monitor-keyboard-mouse arrangement.
