Fedora :: Switch From X86 To X86_64 Without Reinstalling?

Feb 25, 2009

i just installed fedora 9, but realized that i had installed the x86 version (it came on a dvd in linux format magazine). i didn't know that the "only-3gb-of-ram-for-x86" applied to linux, as my previous machines i used it on had under 3gb anyway. so anyway, is there a way to switch to the x86_64 version without downloading and reinstalling it? kinda like ubuntu's distro upgrade (not sure if other distros have it?)

Fedora :: 13 X86_64 Nouveau KVM Switch - Video Res Drops Back To 1024x768 Instead Of 1200x1024

Jul 8, 2010

I have a server with Fedora 13 x86_64 installed that uses gnome as the desktop. Recently I purchased a generic KVM switch for my office. When I connect this to the server the video res drops back to 1024x768 instead of 1200x1024. I did some research and apparently Fedora 13 no longer uses the Xorg.conf file for display setup, it detects the hardware in the fly when you boot and uses the appropriate drivers (unless one exists in the /etc/X11 folder).

The specs for the KVM say that it can do way more than 1200x1024 so I can't see a problem with that. Also I tested it with a windows installation and I was able to obtain 1200x1024 resolution. The video card is a NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS and the current driver being loaded is the nouveau according to lspci. When connected to the KVM the display widget in gnome wont detect the monitor or graphics card anymore. I used system-config-display to change the display settings and it created this Xorg.conf file -

Aug 3, 2010

Attempting to compile an application that is not located in any of the repos yet for 11.3 64 bit. I have downloaded the appropriate src and untarred it. However, when I attempt to run the ./configure command here is the error I receive. checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-': machine `x86_64-unknown-linux' not recognized configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux- failed

Jul 21, 2010

I would like to know if anyone has installed the latest NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) which is 256.35 (x86_64).

I am currently having some problem (unstable) with the previous release 195.36.31 (x86_64) and am now considering updating; but, am still reluctant because of possible problems during the installation process.

Fedora :: Codec Installation For X86_64 F13?

May 27, 2010

On a fresh installation of F12 and F13 I have had issues getting the multimedia codecs working properly. I have followed the tutorial that I was pointed to and it doesn't seem to work..

[URL]

There is a note in there that reads as follows:"NOTE: There is significant variation depending on your architecture (i386, x86_64, ppc). This step is really only beneficial to 32bit i386 users."

What is the step for the x86_64 users? Are there special codecs I can't find on the net that I need to be installing? Should these just be extracted in the /usr/lib64/codecs directory?

Fedora Installation :: Slow YUM In F13 X86_64

Jun 3, 2010

I am posting from my brand new F13 x86_64 system. I am, however, having some problems to get the system fully online with the software I use (I couldn't even update) because YUM (terminal, yumex, etc) is painfully slow. I am behind a really fast connection so I know the problem lies outside.

Is there some method to force YUM to use the fastest repo available? Ok, or at least to try another one?

CentOS 5 :: 5.6 X86_64 Asking For 32 Bit Binaries During Installation?

May 28, 2011

I am trying to install a minimalistic centos 5.6 VM.I have pulled the necessary RPMs from the centos website, using the following command:

yumdownloader --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=CentOS-5.6-x86_64
--destdir=/tmp/transitRPMs/ --installroot=/tmp/transitRPMs/ --resolve kernel
vim-minimal wget yum dhclient grub rootfiles openssh-clients openssh-server sysklogd passwd star attr[code].....

I do not see any 32 bit packages in the /tmp/transitRPMS directory, which good, and that is is what I expected / want.I have also downloaded the repodata and images directory from one of the CENTOS mirros, from the 5.6 directory.I am using the netinstall CD to kickstart the VM and using my local HTTP repository , which I created using the RPMs pulled from the yumuploader command.When I try to install the VM, after the disks are formatted, the installer starts asking for missing i386 or i686 packages. This is happening in both interactive installs, where I select absolutely no package; and also in the kickstart installs, where I have specified @core for the packages. I am unable to understand this behaviour. It was not so in CENTOS 5.5 x86_64 bit. I do not want to install 32 bit packages on my 64 bit machine.

Fedora Installation :: Get Both X86_64 And I386 Packages On F10 Install?

Jan 15, 2009

Installing f10 on an x86_64 platform from CD or netinst. I can't seem to find a way to have it install i386 compatible (32-bit) software at the same time. Is there a repo that has to be enabled? In f8 i think it was just a box to click somewhere.

Fedora Installation :: Upgrade To F11 X86_64 On Dell E521?

I've tried to upgrade with prepupgrade and also to boot from F11 DVD, but just after anaconda starts, it hangs. (Just about when X starts) Maybe my hardware isn't supported yet or something but I can't find out. I don't find any anaconda log-file or anything to give me a clue what goes wrong.

Fedora Installation :: Make Root Partition For 12 X86_64

May 14, 2010

Recently I tried to install Fedora 12 x86_64 to my laptop. I ran the live fedora image from my cooldisk and then pressed "Install to Hard Drive" from live desktop. Then I went forward until I reached the partitioning section. Though I had ~28GB free space in my Harddrive, but it says: "Could not allocate requested partitions: not enough free space on disks." You can see my steps until reaching this problem in these 3

pics:
step1:
step2:
step3:

I captured these steps by using Fedora 12 Live printscreen tool. I tried to install Fedora12 from its non-bootable DVD too, but no difference! So there's only 2 situations:

1. I did something wrong -> install Fedora and use its partitioning tool.
2. There's a bug in Fedora -> confirm that this is a bug and say me an alternative way to install fedora.

Fedora Installation :: Installing 13 (x86_64) On A New Thinkpad T510

Sep 22, 2010

I'm having trouble installing Fedora 13 (64 bit) onto my new laptop (Thinkpad T510). I've repeatedly tried the following three methods:

1) LiveCD I can boot into the LiveCD okay, and all hardware is detected. Double clicking on "install to hard disk" makes the disc spin a bit, but then it stops and nothing happens. At the same time the "application loading" cursor is displayed for a couple of seconds, then goes back to normal. Otherwise it acts as if I never clicked on the icon.

2) DVD The installation process goes as normal until it has finished formatting the hard disk. It then says an unhandled exception occurred, but gives no other info in the "details" section (it's blank). Pressing CTRL+ALT+F3 actually shows a description of the exception:

Code:

DBNoSpaceError: (28, 'No space left on device -- /tmp/storage.state: unable to flush page: 5')
Pressing CTRL+ALT+F4 shows a constant stream of error messages starting with "ERR kernel:" which are scrolling too fast to read.
3) BFO (boot.fedoraproject.org)

[code]...

Pressing CTRL+ALT+F4 shows a constant stream of error messages starting with "ERR kernel:" which are scrolling too fast to read.
I've used methods 2 and 3 to install Fedora on two other machines (with the same installation media as I'm using now) within the last week. The laptop is brand new and seems to run Windows okay (as well as Fedora from the LiveCD). I've tried resetting the BIOS to the defaults but that didn't help.

Fedora Installation :: 15 UEFI X86_64 Install To Sager NP8170 Laptop

Jun 11, 2011

Target hardware is a Sager NP8170 laptop which uses an Intel core i7 CPU and the HM67 chipset. This laptop uses UEFI instead of BIOS. The laptop is configured to boot from the USB ports before booting from the optical drive and then the hard drive. The software I am trying to install is Fedora 15 x86_64. I want to perform the install using a USB drive. I do not want to use DVD media.

how to create minimal boot media as detailed here: [URL] Using dd, efidisk.img has been transferred to a 256MB USB disk. efidisk.img is about 103MB so it fits. I figured this USB drive would boot and take me to a command prompt of some sort but nothing happens. I see activity on the USB drive (flashing light) but then it stops and the laptop boots from the hard drive which currently has Windows on it.

There is $&*# for information on installing to a UEFI system. I don't even know if this efidisk.img USB drive is supposed to present me with a command prompt and from there I can kick off the Fedora installer from another, larger USB drive or the network or whatever. I really don't want to go back to optical media. Also, I burned the F15 x86_64 ISO to a DVD and that DVD does boot. I did not think the stock Fedora DVD version would boot on a UEFI system.

Ubuntu Installation :: Switch From ACPI To APM On 10.10?

Dec 4, 2010

I've installed 10.10 on a laptop and everything is working except for suspend. The laptop will go into suspend, but will not wake up. I have to hard reboot to recover. From my research it appears to have something to do with ACPI and I would like to switch to APM. However all the instructions I found for doing this seem to apply to older versions of Ubuntu before the switch to Grub2 so there is no menu.lst file to make changes to. So I'm looking to understand how to switch to APM in 10.10?

Ubuntu Installation :: Switch From 10.04 To Xubuntu 10.10

Dec 8, 2010

I recently installed Ubuntu yesterday and finally got all the settings right so that it would run rather decently on my computer. I have rather limited RAM resource, 192MB to be exact and i would have preferred to have installed Xubuntu from the start, but kept getting errors when using Wubi in Windows XP.

So here i am, with Ubuntu 10.04, wanting to upgrade to Xubuntu 10.10....but not knowing what to do. I'm currently installing the desktop environment for Xubuntu via the Software Manager but I'm not sure if this is what I'm supposed to do..

Ubuntu Installation :: Switch From Windows 7 (32-bit) To 10.10 (32-bit)

Feb 19, 2011

I want to switch from Windows 7 (32-bit) to Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit), but I can't install it on my PC for some reason. I've tried burning the .iso onto 2 or 3 different DVD+ROM discs now, I keep getting the following message when I try to install it.

Message: BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error
Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs

Edit: I got it to work, I'm not sure if this actually made any difference, but I formatted my hard drive using my Windows 7 installation DVD before trying to install Ubuntu 10.10. But it worked fine after that and I'm now running it on my PC without any problems (at the moment).

Ubuntu Installation :: Drives Switch Sda To Sdb On Install?

Dec 9, 2010

I'm trying to install 10.10 to my home desktop that has Win xp. I have one ide hd with only windos on it and I have a sata hd partitioned logically for linux. The sata controller is a via chip on an old Abit mobo. The live cd works great but when I run the install and get to the partitioning, my sata disk becomes sda instead of sdb. From the live cd, gparted shows the sata as sdb. From live, "cat /proc/partitions" shows the sata disk as sdb. But during install gparted shows it as sda. The install will go on the correct drive, but I'm not sure where to put grub2. On another distro install, I left it at mbr, and it went to the sata mbr. Should I just install grub to the ide disk which will become my "sda" at boot? Will grub find ubuntu on the sata disk, which will become sdb?
