I installed Fedora 11 last night and found that it installs a lot of applications and utilities that i dont need and will never use. I tried to customise the installation before installing but there is too many of them that i just gave up.
All i need is the Apache Webserver and the mysql database. is there an easier way to installl a quick Fedora installation with just the webserver and the database and nothing else?
When I'm running, I like to just do a base install to start, so that, I can go from there, only added things that I need. I just did a Base install of Fedora 14 x86_64, selecting only the "Base" package, and "vim-enhanced". But, when running a grouplist, it comes back with this...
Code:
[root@fcdesktop01 ~]# yum grouplist
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Setting up Group Process
[code]...
I don't see why these extra groups are included, when all I asked for was Base and vim?
I just installed Fedora 11 on my Sony Vaio laptop. I couldn't stand Windows Vista any longer. I installed Fedora 11 just fine with no issues. But I seem to be having trouble installing programs such as Adobe Flash Player, Reader, Limewire, Java pluggin, etc. Everytime I try to install these, it says for example "Could not display "/home/blackout87gn/Download/jre-6u16-linux-i586-rpm.bin". This was for the Java file I downloaded. I made sure that all these files I downloaded were for Linux. So being the newb that I am, can someone point me in the right direction on how to install these applications? Also what does .rpm .bin .deb and .tar.gz represent?

The keyboard has some extra media and application launching keys which I try to assign in systemsettings>Input Actions. I believe the application is called khotkeys, however I'm not sure. Four different cases occurred as follows: The keys are recognized and can be assigned a command to run. When settings are saved the specified application launches. Examples of keys that works:
Code:
Physical key symbol : Recognized by khotkeys as : HEX code send by keyboard (obtained by showkeys)
Headphones : Tools : keycode 171 press, keycode 171 release
House : Home Page : keycode 172 press, keycode 172 release

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed F12 KDE from the live cd and now when I Shutdown or Reboot, it takes 2 minutes and 8 seconds for the machine to power off. Yes, I timed it. Happens everytime like that. Even when booting from both "mainstream" live cd and the KDE spin live cd. When I hit the Shutdown or Reboot, it goes through the daemons/services shutdown the flashes up the Halting System or Please wait while the system reboots messages (respectivley), turns off the LCD and then just... sits with the power light on and hard drive activity light on. I should mention this is on a Toshiba Laptop about a year old. Intel Chipsets. (Satellite Pro S300M-S2142 if anyone is really curious).
The hard drive light stays on for about 1:03 minutes and then it turns off, at 2:08 minutes - the Power light finally turns off and the thing finally shuts down. I've tried adding acpi=off, but that just gets me a kernel panic on startup and acpi=debug all I seem to notice is "Malformed early option 'acpi'" in messages and dmesg. How consistant the power off time is makes me think there's a timeout of sorts going on, but I have no idea on how to track that down.
I need to do something very simple, I have two small buttons on the side of the mouse, I want one of them to do go to upper workspace (like CTRL ALT UP) and the other one go to lower workspace (CTRL ALT DOWN).I used to do this using compiz but now with Gnome3?
View 2 Replies View RelatedYesterday I upgraded my desktop Hp dx2280 which I use at office and HP Compaq Presario 300 Widescreen laptop which I use at home from fedora 10 to Fedora 11. Upgradation was just fine without any errors in both cases. My desktop machine works just fine and I, hardcore KDE lover, am enjoying working. It is just amazing. But sadly my Presario C300 laptop is a mess for KDE. Login is fine And I got the desktop. First I ran xmms and pleased to hear my favourite mp3 song on it. Sound quality -- EXCELLENT.
But for any other application, whether it is Firefox, openoffice word, kwrite, even the Konsole which I love desperately presents me a screen with extra extra large fonts showing only menus like File Edit & so on. I can not see even fourth menu and no scrollbar etc. Even the clipboard gives me the same result. i.e. extra large fonts. While everything is perfect with GNOME, which I am using now. I am not getting what is the problem. Previously I had upgraded my Presario C300 laptop from KDE 4.1.x from Fedora 11 to KDE 4.2.1 from repo of kdetesting. Is that making some conflicts?
I googled on how to disable the extra virtual consoles... I don't need 6 of them and decide to cut it down to 3 There was no luck with Google so I did this my own and seemed to have done the job...
Code:
rm /etc/event.d/tty4 tty5 tty6
This worked fine, but is there anything else I need to do with

I am promoting and convincing a lot of people to try Linux and I always recommend fedora as the OS of choice. I have no interest in creating my own distro, because I love Fedora. I just want to make sure these users can have all the codecs and little extras that makes computing fun without being a geek.My main issue is when I wipe their HDD and install Fedora, I then have to repeat the same tweaks and installs every time. This is my 7th time doing the exact same install and am looking for a quicker way.
After new kernel update I noticed that I have 2 different versions of 1 kernel installed.
Kernels are:
2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE (this one I use because previous kernels are all .PAE)
and
2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586
Should I now expect any problems with later kernel releases or can I leave it this way? I boot in the .PAE kernel.
I use Fedora 15.Not sure if I understand how EPEL is related to rpmfusion. Is EPEL a branch of rpmfusion or are they a completely different projects? What other major 3-rd party repositories would you recommend for Fedora?

things "seem" to work, first time I've really ever used dmraid (usually mdraid), but I'm worried about this error
dmraid -ay
RAID set "jmicron_STORAGE2 " was activated
The dynamic shared library "libdmraid-events-jmicron.so" could not be loaded:
libdmraid-events-jmicron.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Two things, why no matter what I name the RAID in the jmicron bios is puts a bagillion spaces after it, and second, I cannot find the missing lib anywhere I've installed all the dmraid* packages.
I recently installed Fedora 14 on an old Dell server (Pentium 4). It works fine, except that it somehow includes an extra startup step, in which I have to choose between two different grub versions. Here is the screen I get:
GNU GRUB version 0.97
Fedora (2.6.35.11-83.fc14. i686)
Fedora (2.6.35.6-45.fc14. i686)
Press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the commands before booting, 'a' to modify the kernal arguments before booting, or 'c' for a command-line. I always select "Fedora (2.6.35.11-83.fc14. i686)" because I presume it is the latest version. Is there anything I can do to automate the choice of "Fedora (2.6.35.11-83.fc14. i686)" and avoid this extra step? On another subject, I have already modified the custom.conf file to eliminate the login screen step.
I am looking for the best place to report this issue. FC14 appears to falsely detect some hardware as a Thermal diode and causes random shut down due to thermal over temperature condition. I am in the process of building a new MythTV back end and choose the EliteGroup motherboard A790GXM-AD3. I did a fresh FC14 install usewd the update depositary during the install. On the first boot the system shut down before I could get the password entered. Eventually I noticed the following in the /var/log/dmesg file. May 6 09:20:52 pvr1 kernel: [ 71.081080] Critical temperature reached (127 C), shutting down. I installed the lm_sensors RPM and I see the following:
[root@pvr1 ~]# uptime
08:29:07 up 0 min, 1 user, load average: 1.45, 0.45, 0.16
[root@pvr1 ~]# service lm_sensors status
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +30.0�C (crit = +110.0�C)
k10temp-pci-00c3
[Code]........
I did log a call with the ECS mother board support to get their view on this issue. But based on the BIOS PC Health display temp3 should not exist. So perhaps the kernel is detecting some other hardware as a thermal diode? Random shut downs due to ghost hardware is not good. The kernel version is 2.6.35.12-90.fc14.x86_64
I tried to boot a FC15 beta live CD but it shut down due to the over temp condition before it completed booting. A google search of the error message got two hits one in FC12 and the other in Ubunuto linux both with ECS motherboards.

and I hold the power button untill the computer is turned off,when I reboot I get this message"invalid system disk, replace it and press any key to continue"now I'm using a livedisc to boot the computer (jaunty 9.04)To rebuild the system i think to manually install the packages that probably were interupted while installing and made it not work anymoreThe packages to be installed when text-live-fonts is marked for install (in synaptic opened from the livedisc) are:
dvipdfmx
lmodern
text-common
texlive-base
texlive-base-bin

This may be different with 9.10 configuration (can anybody look to see which are necessary with 9.10) I think the computer wasn't responding anymore because I used too many tabs at ones. I had this same problem a few times before in the past weeks but then I wasn't installing something and the computer did restart and firefox restored all the tabs. I cannot enter /home/ from the livedisc (no permission) and it's necessary , I am in the middle of exams and i need to print the paper that is on the disc by monday Is there a way to enter it via command console?
Adding extra spell check library's in FC 11 Gnome is really easy.
Open gnome terminal.
Su to root or use sudo :
# su
Search with yum to your language:
# yum search hunspell
<snip long output list with different languages>
hunspell-nl.noarch : Dutch hunspell dictionaries
I want the Dutch hunspell dictionary, but you fill out the right language for the language support you want: # yum install hunspell-nl
This will install the dutch hunspell dictionary or the dictionary of your choice. After you installed this dictionary it will be immediately available in gnome apps and Evolution.
there are 2 related to 11.3: openSUSE_11.3/ and openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Distro_Factory/ Index of /repositories/KDE:/Extra they are not listed as official kde4 repos here KDE repositories - openSUSE, but they are in the same directory structure on the build service so it would assume they are official (what ever official means) They have rpm's I didn't see in community and playground (at least for 11.3) such as audex and clementine I would guess that they are for the stable and factory versions of KDE4 but then shouldn't there be a 3rd for unstable if this was the case? Or do they refer to the distro, 11.3 stable and 11.3 factory

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 and noticed something strange when I used Yum to install GNote and Inkscape. Yum installed the Fedora 14 version of the programs, but installed some dependencies that were actually from Fedora 12 and 13. The output below shows what packages were installed.
Yum output:

When I ran the yum command to list all of the packages for the dependencies in question, it only listed the version for Fedora 12 or 13. Is there something wrong with one of my repositories or do these Fedora 14 programs actually use packages from previous versions of Fedora?
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.
