Red Hat / Fedora :: Nash Version Installed Overriding The Existing OS ?
Aug 25, 2009
I am a complete stranger to Linux and don't know a thing about this . But my cousin has installed Fedora Linux ( she says it is Linux on Unix , Red Hat Nash ) on my laptop . The laptop was having Lotus symphony earlier and it had only single partition . As a result the Linux had overridden the existing OS and all the data is lost.
My requirement is to retrieve the lost data before I format my system again.. If it is possible to recover the lost data and if yes how to do that.

Every time I update certain packages with rpm/yum, they reset certain permissions on their files / directories which I have intentionally changed for various reasons. Is there a way I can override the permissions that the packagers have specified in the RPMs, and force it to keep the permissions/owner/group that I've set?On a Debian system, I would just use "dpkg-statoverride". I can't find any equivalent for RPM systems (CentOS 4 & 5 in my case).

I have fedora 12 currently installed on my laptop, but would like to install another version along side it. How do I do this? Will it detect the second version automatically and add a grub entry? Or do I need to do something else. Also, what partitions need formatting, do any new one except '/' need creating?

/dev/sda1 ext4 /boot 200 MB
/dev/sda2 ext4 20 GB <--- I want to install new version here.
/dev/sda3 ext4 / 20 GB
/dev/sda4 extended 425 GB
/dev/sda5 ext4 /media/Media 425 GB

I would like to replace the exiting kernel in one of my Fedora 11 installs with an earlier kernel from a Fedora 10 Unity Spin...so I can use it to bring ATI functionality to Fedora 11. Also, I recall there being a way to unpack rpms and 'repackage' them using a different kernel development set. How is this done?

What happens if I install the DVD version of Fedora 15 over an existing installation of Fedora 15-KDE? Will it cleanly add any software I don't already have, or will it change or disrupt my installation?

When my headphones are plugged in, I'd like the audio to cut out from the regular speakers. I am using pulseaudio if that helps. Everything else, audio-wise, is running fine.

Why use nash instead of busybox in initrd and initramfs? I'm just looking for pros and cons of both really (and any other applications with similar functionality). I'm currently leaning towards busybox being the better option, why redhat and fedora use nash in their initrd.

I find it very frustrating that documentation suggests using PEERDNS=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ ifcfg-eth0 in order to override resolv.conf information only to find out that both NM and network init scripts ignore DNS1, DNS2 and DOMAIN settings.So my question is how do I correctly configure resolv.conf settings that will persistently override dhcp information on a F12 system that has NM removed and uses the network service scripts?

I have an odd problem since preupgrading from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14.
My power management settings are set to never put the monitor to sleep, yet after a certain amount of time, lo and behold, the Fedora box has gone blank and I have to enter my user information and password to get back to my gnome session.
In the power management preferences I have "never" selected for both putting the computer or display to sleep.
In the screensaver preferences "Lock Screen After" is *not* checked. (And if I click "advanced" I also note that "Power Management Enabled" is also *not* checked).
I'd just as soon not have to "log on" to this machine every time I'm away from it for a while.

Due to a problem I had with a 10.10 upgrade [URL] and the need to access data on the pc I upgraded, I downloaded the live CD and installed on the same pc. Now I have two versions of 10.10 on the same pc but in different partitions. Is there any way I can copy my settings from the partition that is not working (the upgraded one) to the one that is working?

I have a fedora 11 with kernel package: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686
I would like to install the devel package for this kernel version, but I can't find it, because in the fedora repo there is only the original kernel (2.6.29.4....) and in the updates repo there is only the newest kernel package (2.6.30....)
Where can I find the packages which are between the fedora and update repos' versions?

I've tried to install ubuntu 10.10 on a rather old Acer 3610 1.5 GHZ notebook previously running Windows XP. The problem I've encountered is that Acer Aspire 3613 WLMi is restricted to 2 GB RAM. But ubuntu 10.10 stops installation process (using LiveCD) because the Acer RAM is detected to be less than the 2.5 GB minimum expected by ubuntu. Also no Internet connection is detected when LiveCD is run .. but that is another problem. The Internet connection on my ubuntu 10.10 is fine as this post proves! What ubuntu version (or other linux distro) is recommended to install with just 2 GB RAM?

My ISP offers me a static IP and 2 dynamic IPs. I want to use the static one.
When I run
Code:
But the next morning (not every morning though) my IP will be the dynamic one again. Something seems to be overriding it. The last time it changed was today at around 8:30 AM.

I have, installed in my machine, Firefox 2.0.0.4 and, wishing to add certain feature , I went to ftp.nluug.nl /pub/os/Linux/distr/slackware/slackware-12.0/patches/source/mozilla-firefox/. Firefox 2.0.0.20 has that feature. But, despite teh presence of the .SlackBild, threre is no compilation here. It's a patch realized over the binaries already installed in my machine. The question is: How does the .SlackBuild know he is in the presence of 2.0.0.4? That is, he cannot update if he does not know from where it is starting.

I constantly work on several workspaces, and whenever I open an internet browser or anything, I'd like a new instance of the program to open. The default behavior takes me to the workspace that currently has an open browser, and this page is usually already very crowded. Can I override this default behavior on Unity?

Within the last few weeks, I've been beginning to familiarize myself with Terminal. I know within the syntax, you can add options such as -i or -v.When I enter the command rm, I want Terminal to automatically go interactive (which would be the -i option) without me having to add it to the command. Meaning, I'd rather type rm Test.doc than having to include -i like this rm -i Test.doc. This way, whenever I execute the rm command, I won't have to worry about adding the -i option because I know that Terminal will automatically ask me if I want to delete the file or not before I do.

What I have done so far with Debian: I used dd in Ubuntu Lucid to put the Debian live GDE version onto a USB stick, and I successfully booted my Toshiba Mini with it in under a minute! That even blows Easy Peasy away! I love the simplicity of the DE. For now I want to get the GDE version of Debain installed to a USB stick. (That is, I will use the live USB that I created to direct the installation to a USB stick that is plugged into the computer).
What I think that I know: I was successful to use a live Ubuntu Lucid USB to install Ubuntu Lucid to both a USB stick and an SDHC card, and that is what I am running right now. I have encountered issues with this process, such as apparently the /dev/sdx that was recognized during install being different when I try to boot the new stick, and I only happen to eventually mysteriously boot after, say, trying a different USB port. My main concern is a functional internet connection, otherwise I will be helpless when I try to confront any other kind of Debian problem, and of course I will soon want to begin installing packages. In Ubuntu Lucid my wireless card was nonfunctional, and I spent two weeks working on finding a "solution", which was something I believe called a Personal Package Archive, my first and only use of such a thing.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lexical/hwe-wireless
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install rtl8192ce-dkms
As far as I understand the first command, as with much of what I do with GNU/Linux, I must simply trust the benevolence of the package provider that their code will not ruin my hardware. The firmware issue does disburb me a bit, and it seems that Toshiba and Realtek or whoever is responsible would like to require me to use Windows in order to configure my wireless card. (That seems like it should be illegal.) Thank god I did manage to find a completely GNU solution, and thank the community for always being there trying to provide solutions like this.
So, appologizing for that overly elaborate introduction: Are there any pitfalls that I should avoid in the process of installing from the live GDE Debian USB to another USB stick on my Toshiba Mini, or if this is even possible in Debian? Is there a more appropriate solution to get my wireless card to work (instead of using the PPA mentioned above)? For instance, the wireless light never changes from amber to green (which I guess is what should indicate that the card is connected or not?), even though I am obviously connected to the interent (here I am). How do I force the installation to recognize my USB more primitively/reliably than as a /dev/sdx file (which seems to be quite dynamicly allocated from one boot to the next)?
