I've just updated to Fedora 14 from Fc10 via preupgrade ( going Fc10 - Fc11 - Fc12 -Fc14 ).The process has been pretty good except that now in Fc14 I have problems with NFS and have lost networking. A portion of the bootlog shows this:
Code:
Starting cups: Starting LSB: Mount and unmount network filesystems....
[ OK ]
[code]....
When I first boot up my machine and log in or close my laptop lid then open it, after about half a minute in gnome my entire desktop begins to lag. It lasts for a few minutes then it's completely gone and doesn't happen again until next boot or if I close then reopen my laptop. It's a really bad lag too, where the mouse is practically umovable and I can't click anything.
I have an hp g60-549dx with a duel core 64-bit pentium 4 and an intel gma 4500M.
My Kernel is 2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64
Compiz is enabled and after that lag everything runs flawlessly.
So far I've tried making an xorg.conf and changing the AccelMethod as recommended here, [url], but it didn't work.
I installed OS11.4 on my old laptop, Compaq Armada E500., 512MB RAM, ATI Rage Mobility. During installation I chose "minimal server" and added some development packages, lxde and a little more. I chose to start in runlevel 3 which is full networking without X. Still, when computer is booted it tries to start Xorg which doesn't work because of some problem w driver. The start-up seems to stop there, it never loads completely - seems most things in runlevel 3 are not started (see below) I can manually login on laptop and fix it - but never permanently, same thing again after reboot.
I have checked /etc/inittab & yast - both states default runlevel is 3. I have checked services to be started both directly, browsing directory /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/, and with YaST, it is very clear X should not load during boot. But, as said, it does.. I don't really care about the driver problem right now, I can fix that later when I have more time. So how do I stop X from getting started automatically?
More info, if needed: The installation also stopped with message on tty1 "Starting YaST2" and tty8 showing errors with graphics driver (mach64). The system seemed to be installed though, so I simply rebooted (issuing "reboot" from tty2).
[Code]....
I'm not completely sure where it stops, network is configured but keyboard is wrong and mysql & everything after is not started, so somewhere between S02network and S06kbd. I'm going to use it as a server for testing purposes so no X is actually needed - however I do want to have X & lxde installed just in case, my Internet connection at home is terribly slow so I need most things I might need in the future installed today.
I have an installation of F12 where I used VMM to create and run four virtual machines.
If I set the machines to start at boot in VMM, but set my host to not boot all the way into X, the VMs don't boot.
IS that suppoed to be that way? Does VMM's auto-boot of VMs depend on some X or GNOME stage?
If so, what's the best way to fire up the VMs such that it doesn't conflict with any subsequent use of startx? (Don't eant to end up with double the machines just because I had a need to fire up X on the host.)
I did a fresh install of F11 and everything seemed OK until I started OpenOffice, the OpenOffice loading box shows up then Fedora freezes and I am forced to do a hard restart. I repeated this and it seems to be happening at random with the same default settings of a fresh install.
Has anyone else experienced the this?
I'm using OpenOffice 3.1.0, default settings.
i have an issue with XBMC. I installed it from fedorajunkies.org and i think i installed all dependencies as well. However when i start XBMC nothing happens. So i tried from terminal and this is what i get:
$ xbmc
The XBMC_HOME environment variable is not set.
Fatal error encountered, aborting

I would like to start some of my services (VNC Server, FTP Server, HTTP server) in the background AFTER I've booted into the GUI. How can I achieve this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell box that got a fresh install of Fedora 13, along with XFCE during the initial installation, and it works just fine from a local monitor/keyboard/mouse setup.Now, in wanting to setup VNC to allow a remote XFCE desktop, it's not quite starting up properly:
The result is that I'm able to connect to the VNC session from another computer, but all I see is my XFCE desktop pattern image, and the XFCE mouse cursor (not in a spinning 'wait' state; I know it's the XFCE mouse, since my VNC client has a simple dot cursor that gets overlaid over the XFCE cursor, and I can move the mouse around the screen and the cursor follows); no menu bar, no tool bar, no desktop icons.I've tried changing the last line of my xstartup file to "startxfce4 &", and "startx &" with the same result.Is there a log file I can look at that would tell why XFCE is not fully starting up?
I installed privoxy to use with tor however, it seems privoxy didnt create a pid file.I tried creating one many times with no avail.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed F14 on my netbook. All went well. I've installed Screenlets, and they run well. Unfortunately I have to reload all the widgets I have running on startup to make them show.
I believe the problem is the order the Screenlets are loading. Is there a way for me to restrain the Screenlets from loading until Compiz has been loaded? I've added the widgets I want to load to the gnome session startup script using gnome-session-properties, but no luck in ordering the timing they load. I seem to remember in older Fedora releases you could change the load order. Anyway no luck there.
Next I created a bash script with a sleep delay to load the widgets. I added the script to gnome-session-properties, still no luck. The only way I can get the widgets to show is to manually reload them once the desktop/Compiz has loaded.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI did a fresh FC13 install on a computer and after trying to install the nvidia drivers the machine hangs on starting atd when it boots.Initially, I tried to install the nvidia drivers with yum but it didn't work. The nvidia module was not loading and although I blakclisted the nouveua driver the machine was still picking it up. Anyway after spending a lot of time trying to find a solution online, I decided to download the drivers from nvidia and install it myself.So I did that, run sh <nvidia-package>.run and the installation was completed without any complaints. Since then the machine hangs when I booted it up. Also I don't see any errors in var/log/messages or in /Xorg.0.logHere is my grub.conf:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just have installed FC 10 on a box that I will use as a router/firewall box. On the box I have three interfaces (eth0, eth0.704 (VLAN), and eth1). When the machine boots up, only eth0 and eth1 come up. If I run /etc/init.d/network restart, then eth0.704 will come up. If I add that command to rc.local, then all interfaces come up at boot.
I have the directive ONBOOT=yes in ifcfg-eth0.704. What would cause this vlan interface not to start at boot on the machine?
I start httpd but status shows: httpd dead but subsystem locked
get another message: starting httpd98) address already in use: make _sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
bottom line is I can load the Apache web page.
I am currently using FC10 on a Dell 4600 with 2GB of ram. I love Linux as it is the most stable OS around. My end goal is to have the machine boot and start the vncserver automatically, eventually using an ssh tunnel to make it secure. My main problem is the vncserver is not starting on boot, I must login as a user then it works great. the error I get is
[Code]....
Basically what happens is the vncserver fails on boot however, if I login to the Fedora box I am able to connect and I get the GDM login screen. I have read many, many posts but have not been able to get over the boot issue. I really want to make this a headless box I can put in another room so I have more room for my musical gear.

Select 217.2.3 and it boots OK.

I have a little problem with Fedora and an Adaptec Raid5805. In the same system, if I use a hard disk in ich10 without connect the 5805 I can boot from cd and install Fedora, but when I connect the 5805 the live cd don't start and I can't boot the system. I test the same system in Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu and the system start well without problems.
