I have just installed fc12, and everything seemed to go well. After reboot I get a line asking for First login:From what I've found, this should be the firstboot thing, but I don't know the login, and can't find any answer with a search.

After upgrading from FC10 to FC12 here I notice I cannot login to the GUO console locally as root, yet this worked with FC10. Attached is my /etc/gdm/custom.conf settings and I've got the login for root set true whih is where it was and working prior to the upgrade.. Also I don't see the shutdown/restart options as before either:
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLogin=
TimedLoginEnable=false
TimedLogin=
[Code].....
Is it possible to have fedora 12 join a specific wireless network (my home network) before i login to the gnome enviroment on a standard install? i would like to be able to hit the machine via ssh without needing to be logged in.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter the Upgrade of my Fedora Insatallation (FC 10 => 12) I have some problems with Gnome and the Login via console. The system actually boots fine and all kind of services like Postfix, IMAP, Samba, SSHD, Apache, etc. are avialable normally.
If I try however to work directly on the server I only see the completed Fedora progress icon and not as hoped for, the Login to Gnome. Also the attempt to change to a plain console with ALT-CTRL-F1 fails.
Since actually everything seems to work quite fine, I am somewhat helpless, according to should I look for, to get Gnome and the Console Login working again.
I have a tricky problem which I could soIve with a c program. I wrote one and found I didnt have gcc so I tried to install it. I was told I needed to install packages. I acknowledged and an error was generated gcc-4.4.2-7.fc12.i686 requires libgomp = 4.4.2-7.fc12 I try to install libgomp and go round again.

I have a Dell XPS M2010. It came from the factory with Vista and was converted to Fedora 6 within a day of receiving it. With the release of Fedora 8 it was upgraded. With the release of Fedora 10, it was reinstalled from scratch. Now I am trying to reinstall from scratch again while moving to Fedora 13.
The install itself goes smoothly enough (personal problems with trying to hunt down a blank DVD or large enough USB stick aside). After the initial setup and copying the files to the HDD, the machine reboots and the DVD ejects as expected. After the reboot, the firstboot procedure picks up and installation continues. The third screen of firstboot is Create User. The problem is, I can't create a user. The keyboard does absolutely nothing, so I can't type my name. Since creating a user is required, I can't bypass this screen.
During the DVD-based portion of installation, the keyboard worked just fine (root password and hostname were typed with no problem). The mouse works just fine throughout the entire process. Editing the GRUB prompt to start at Runlevel 3 brings me to text-based setup. Like the GUI setup, I have no keyboard. I can't use the arrow keys to move to the Keyboard configuration menu item. None of the previous Fedora installs had this problem.
I am trying to put FC12 on a new Dell E6410 (laptop) with video "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 0046 (rev 02)". I used the Live disk and successfully installed, but then I updated. Thereafter when I boot I get a black screen. I cannot even get to the login.
Unfortunately I really do not know where to start to try to trouble shoot. (I can get into run level 3 on the latest kernel). Also the issue seems to come about from kernel 2.6.31.5 to kernel 2.6.32.12 since the blank screen issue does not arise in the former. For now I switched the order of these kernel in GRUB so the older one boots first and this seems to work.
Although the blank screen is my most pressing issue, I am having others too (synaptic mouse, wifi, suspend, internal camera). Well, hopefully once I can run the newest kernel these issue will disappear.
I was running openSUSE 10.3 using yast2-firstboot and everything worked perfectly. I have since upgraded to 11.2 and after a post on this forum I was able to get yast2-firstboot to run. The control file was moved to touch /var/lib/YaST2/reconfig_system instead of touch /etc/reconfig_system. All is well there and firstboot does run. I have a script that basically sets up the hostname, IP addresses, etc on the machines. This worked in 10.3 but in 11.2 it doesn't execute. I can manually run the script which I have defined in the /etc/sysconfig/firstboot file. The SCRIPT_DIR="/usr/share/firstboot/scripts" I noticed a new entry this file labeled - # Action that should be done after the firstboot sequence finishes.
FIRSTBOOT_FINISH_ACTION="" Should I place my script here? I read the doc and you can use reboot but need my script to run first. To I just put the name of the script or the entire path to the script if that is the place to put it. On a side note. Does anyone know where the default FIRSTBOOT_FINISH_FILE="" is located? I want to use that as a template but change and add a few lines to this. I just can't locate it anywhere on the system.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI saw that AMZ recently updated the rpm for Fedora to be compatible with FC 11, however the install is still broken on FC12 (obviously since it's built for 11).
My main question is has anyone found a decent workaround, that won't completely hose your system? Should I just wait until they build an rpm for FC12?
Not wanting to speculate why, in the repositories, Fedora doesn't *also* provide a on-KVM enabled kernel counterpart to the default KVM enabled kernel that *is* supplied, I must say I'm frustrated that they haven't done this simple thing.
Considering that everyone who upgrades to KVM enabled FC12 from a previous non-KVM release of Fedora (like FC10) ... considering that these people will be guaranteed to no
longer be able to run VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation after upgrading, is a disappointing oversight by / or intent of Fedora (one that manifests in *lost productivity*).
And try though you may to install the kernel source RPM and compile it after running "make xconfig" to disable KVM support, you usually can't! Fedora kernel compile attempts often die very early in the "make" process, indicating something like ...
"Kernel compile error: No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'
or some other silliness. And when you successfully compile a "kernel.org" kernel, and try to boot it, you get all kinds of missing library errors (etc).
Given that it would be simple to provide both a KVM enabled kernel (as they do), and also a non-KVM enabled kernel (which they don't) so the rest of us can seamlessly continue to run VirtualBox and/or VMWare Workstation after an upgrade - and avoid getting entangled with deciding whether use KVM or XEN for guest O/S's... it's a frustrating misstep to not have done this basic thing (i.e. include a non-KVM kernel). It was a rude awakening when we tried to launch VirtualBox only to have it fail after the upgrade.
Anyway, has anyone successfully compiled their own kernel for FC12 and not get errors after boot? If so, which sources did you use; and what kernel version? In the meantime I'll try out other kernels and compile options.
Has anyone managed to install retroshare on fedora? Where can i find a howto?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my CPU (just before the release of FC12), to a 64-bit compatible Intel Core 2 E7600. Upon the release of FC12 I moved to the 64 bit version (via a clean install).
I noticed that NVIDIA does not work (as many topics on this forum confirm). So I reinstalled and used the FC12 default drivers (I think they are called Nouveau-drivers). This seemed to work, so I ran "yum update", and now all X-windows fail.
KDE complaints: "kstartup4 does not exist or fails" and GNOME also complains (sorry forgot the exact error message)
I'd be happy to send logs, but if these are required, which log you want and where I can find it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt was a long time since my last post on this forum. The reason for this was that since FC7 I've moved to Debian Etch and then to Ubuntu, but now I'm back trying FC12 amd64 on my machine and seen how it changed.Almost everything is going well until now. After almost two years I see that a great development was made to build and gui to yum, but synaptic is still superior, imho.
Well, as I said, everything is going well with one exception: the *.tar.gz files.
Doesn't matter if I use the gui or the cli. If I try to compress or decompress any file to tar.gz it fails with the error message bellow. All other file types work perfectly.
Code:
/bin/gtar: Child returned status 1
/bin/gtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
As I said, I'm running FC12 amd64. Gnome environment.
is it me, or is the rapidsvn in FC12 have no menu?I cant find anyway to do "file > edit > preferences", theres no menu bar at all.I've used rapidsvn since FC8 and this is the first time I cant find the menubar lol.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have 2 Fedora 12 installs with this problem. Before installing FC 12, xset led 3 worked fine.
The command:
SHOULD turn on the scroll lock LED.
With FC 12, it doesn't.
In Xorg.log, I see: (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.
(I believe before FC12, I was using driver "kbd".) The man page for kbd shows the options needed for program control of the LEDs.
The new driver appears to be "evdev". I've read some of the HAL documentation and I think this driver uses the file: /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-leds.fdi
I see nothing about program control in this file.
Anyway, anyone have any idea why xset led stopped working and how to go about fixing it?

I'd like to reproduce the way I got to f12 from f11, but obviously to f13 basically I started out on the f11 rawhide repos, then as f12 got released a yum update updated my fedora-release and then hey presto I was automatically upgraded to f12 final release if I now turn on my rawhide repos, as f13 is nearing completion, will I be updated to the latest f13 release (RC3 I believe) and then as f13 gets released my fedora-release will be updated and i will then be upgraded to f13 final as happened before?I don't want to download a whole dvd iso and then upgrade when f13 is final, I'd like to do a gradual transition ie..
f12 -> f13 RC3 via rawhide
f13 RC3 -> f13 Final via yum update
