I want to install some VNC software on my Fedora 14 box at home. When I did a search in Add/Remove Software for VNC I saw TigerVNC and VNC server for the current X11 session. I installed both but I was wondering if anyone has used these programs before and which one they liked more. Also which one would be easier to configure.
View 6 RepliesI am running Folding with the multi-core High performance client and would like to set this to be a service rather than have to run it by hand, so to speak, when the machine is booted.
How do I go about setting a service up for this.
I was previously running 10.04 32bit. Recently upgraded my cpu/ram, so figured I'd try 64 bit. On my previous setup, I had / in one partition, /home in another, plus a few other partitions (/backup, etc).
I did the install of 64 bit, but was too scared to point /home in 64bit to the previous /home. After the install, now all those previous partitions/mounts are on /media. I'd like to just point /home at the previous partition. Should I mess with /etc/fstab to do this or will it cause problems? Is the easiest thing to do reinstall, then point the new install to use the pre-existing /home? Wasn't sure if that would cause problems or not. I've backed up most of the previous /home area, so worst case, if it gets blown away, I should be alright.
I encrypted "/" and "/home" during boot with F12. Now I'm trying to install F13. The problem is it will not allow to specify /home as the mount point. It will take /home and not complain but when I get back to summary there is no mount point, just blank. When I entered the passphrase it didn't complain so I think that is okay. The / dir I said I wanted to format, so it accepted the / mount point.
I tried to go ahead and install F13 anyway thinking it may figure this out. However it didn't use my /home but created a new /home.
I am trying to install the Folding@Home client on my x64 fedora 14 box. I am used to in ubuntu where all one would do was install the package "origami" and you just send 2 commands after to set name/team and the initial start and that was all.
such package doesn't exist for fedora, or so it seems.
is there such a package in the fedora world? if not, how do i go about setting it so it is installed and automatically runs upon startup?

Wondering if its possible to have a User's home folder that resides in a different partition (could be ntfs or ext). I don't mean mounting /home on a different partition. The home directory will still be available for adding more users but I'd like to have a specific User's folder away from /home
How can one achieve this?

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I loaded opensuse 11.3 for the first time, I used the automatic partitioner and have been loading app's onto my ~8GB boot partition, and now that it's full, I have ~15 GB free on my home partition and need to install a few more app's to get my laptop fully functional. Is there a way (other than copying the boot partition to the home partition and then repartitioning, copying again to the repartitioned drive, and then recopying again to the freed up space) to get the new app's I install to redirect to my home partition?
View 9 Replies View RelatedInstalled 11.3 yesterday. Was using 11.1. Things are working fine except.... Before 11.3 install df -h looked like this:
/dev/sdb1 Ext3 /
/dev/sdb2 Ext3 /home
/dev/sdb3 Swap
After 11.3 install:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 20G 3.6G 16G 20% /
devtmpfs 2.0G 248K 2.0G 1% /dev
tmpfs 2.0G 256K 2.0G 1% /dev/shm
While home still exists on /sdb2 and was backed up "just in case", it didn't get mounted post 11.3 install. I probably did something wrong but what? How do I fix this? I'd rather not re-install. I'd rather learn by my mistake(s).Also, what are devtmpfs and tmpfs? Are they necessary? I don't recall having them back in 11.1, but I could be wrong.
so upon install of 11.2, I thought that I would try the LVM option when it asked me how I wanted to partition my HDD. I am using the entire HDD for SUSE...or so I thought. Take a look at how much space I have for my /home partition:
[URL]
Now, I've added up the numbers, and they sure don't add up to 74.51 GB. Any way that I can make /home bigger? It won't let me increase it anymore beyond 7.89 GB, which is a total bummer.
In system info my ext4 /home directory shows total space of 51.7 gigs with 51.5 gigs available.
My ext4 / directory shows total space 19.7 gig and 7.7 gig free. Whenever I install anything it goes to the / (as guess root directory) In Dolphin it shows my /home directory but anything installed under that seems like it installs on the / directory.
If I have 51 gigs free where is it and how do I gain access?
My house is WiFi enabled. I am putting Live Fedora 14 to test, on my 2003 desktop pc, in the next 1 or 2 days. The first thing I would like to do with FEDORA is to hook it to my home WiFi. Where will I go on the screen, to do it?? by the time I boot I can do it with ease.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've changed my distro from Kubuntu to Opensuse with Kde and I really like the new one.
Kde look better on opensuse as well as firefox seems to run faster. But I miss a feature I had on Kubuntu that is the encryption of my home folder (And it is essential as I want to install Opensuse on my notebook).
I would like to know if it is possible and, if it is, how to encrypt my system in order to keep all my personal data and stored passwords safe in case of someone have access to my notebook.
I liked opensuse a lot but this is the only thing that is keeping me from a complete distro change.
I was looking to do a fresh install of 11.2 and use my home partition from 11.1. During the Gnome Live version I wanted to see how suse would configure my computer. It recognized everything fine, except it didn't show my current home partition which is ext 3. Because Opensuse 11.2 has switched to ext 4 as default for root and home? I was hoping to use my old home with 11.2. Is there any way to make the switch without losing my settings? During the live install the partitioner didn't use my current home partition, it was going to make a new one.
So I opened up the partitioner in yast to see why it didn't use my current home and it shows no mount point for my home ext 3. Would changing the mount point on my ext 3 partition to home make the 11.2 installer recognize this as my home to use? Or will I have to copy my current home. Paste it elsewhere. Delete old home. Use unallocated space as ext 4. Paste old home on new ext4 to have the 11.2 installer recognize this as my home. So, current home is ext 3. 11.2 installer wants to make a new home on ext4. How do I use my current home settings? I haven't installed yet just tried a live run.
I was recently forced to do a reinstall of OpenSUSE. As part of that I backed up the folders I needed to keep. The installation however didn't format the 'Home' partition though. At first I thought it was nice, but I've run into trouble with a program I most definately need to get working. So my plan is to re-install yet again.
how to make the install format the root partition I think it is, and the 'home' partition, so I can start fresh.
To further complicate things My laptop (which this is happening on) is dual booting between OpenSUSE and Windows 7. It is VERY important that the windows partitions remain.
I want to backup all the data in my /home folder/partition (before upgrading).
1. In How to migrate to a new openSUSE version - openSUSE it is only written how to backup *one* users data.
If you know the path to your external harddisk, just open a konsole and do:
Code:
$ su
1. cd /home
2. cp -b -vvv username_to_be_backed_up /media/<folder_of_your_external_harddisk>
How can I backup *all* users' data in one folder "home-double"?
2. Has the external disk have to have any special file system?
I have an 500 GB disk in fat with some data already on it. Can this be used? Or do I have to make an new (ext3?) partition on my external hard disk to preserve permissions? Do I have to worry about big files under FAT?
3. Should I make anything to get sure that all data is the same in "home-double" as in "/home"?
Now I am using (on my Samsung X20) openSuse 11.1 and Gnome 2.24.1 (mostly, 1 account is using KDE) and Kernel Linux 2.6.27.45-01.1-pae. "/home" is on an separated partition (as part of an extended partition). I have also 2 NTFS partitions for Windows XP (System and Data), and a FAT, a root (/) and a swarp partition.
I get this error when I boot opensuse default and fail safe. It takes me to a console log in, which works. This happened after new kernel install in Linux Mint, which is unbootable atm. I can boot windows, bsd but no Linux.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter working with a more or less stable system I decided to install 11.3 on my system. Atm I am working with a updated 10.3 (prop state is 11.2 now after kernel update) Installed is Gnome, KDE3 and KDE4 - using KDE3
Now the question can I reinstall Opensuse 11.3 to my root partition and keep /home successfully? It is on a separate partition (Doing backup atm also). I understand that I will have to set it as mountpoint during installation. When asked to create user I stopped as I am scared if I add a user with the same name as on my old install it will overwrite the current folder in mounted /home... I seriously like my old username and want to keep it - can i safely add the user during install? will my stuff be still there?
After update to 11.4, I would like to regain access to my encrypted home that I left intact. Both user.img and user.key files are there, but when I create the same user again in YaST, it does not recognize their presence and it asks again for size of the image. I am afraid it will just overwrite the old image. I do have full backup of hte data, but since its 150GB, I would rather not have to transfer it again.
How can I remount my old encrypted home?
have the home directory encrypted after the initial installation? I know on a clean installation you can set this up.However, is there an easy way to do so after? Ubuntu Karmic x64
