Fedora Install Using DVD and HTTP
by Tod
I have a web server with a DVD drive, and a server with only a CD ROM
drive. How can I install fedora on the server over the network using
HTTP? I've searched around but haven't found a method that matches my
particular situation. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Gallery2 installation, so where is it?
by Chris G
I just did:-
yum install gallery2
It installed with no errors.
The trouble is I now have no clue as to what to do next. What do I
have to do next, I can't see any *obvious* pages to browse to get it
going.
Yes, I do have apache installed and running, and PHP, and mySql.

Can't read/mount SD flash memory card in builtin reader.
by Richard Shaw
I am having trouble getting Fedora 9 (x86_64 live cd) to read my SD
card using a built-in Ricoh MMC reader on an HP 8510 laptop (Core 2
Duo). I get mmcblk0 and mmcblk0p1 in /dev but any attempt to read the
card fails. I see an icon in Nautilus but after opening it and a brief
pause I get an error "Can't read superblock". Also, any attempt to
inspect the device in parted or fdisk also fail. They both complain
about lables but I'm not sure if they are talking about filesystem
labels or volume lables. I can't see why the latter would cause an
issue. I tried the mklabel command in parted setting it to msdos but
it couldn't complete... I'm in Windows XP right now and it's reading
it fine.
Along those lines, is it possible to get the UUID of a disk from windows?

trends in fedora
by Russell Strong
Hi,
I've just installed Fedora 9 on my laptop, and unfortunately a few
things are getting worse in Fedora.
Network management has always been awkward on Fedora and with Fedora 9
it's getting much worse.
1. I have always edited the config files directly to get things
working. And still have to ( it's just a straight forward wireless
connection ).
2. NetworkManager is now the default on install, BUT...
2.1 NetworkManager does not give you a wireless connection when no
user is logged in.
2.1.1 How am I going to run any network service, NTP, NFS,
httpd, etc..... without a network?
2.1.2 How am I going to remotely administer my machines?
2.2 NetworkManager does not give you the ability to configure system
wide networking services or policy.
2.3 NetworkManager does not have any decent documentation.
3. Try using WPA and DHCP at the same time. It's never worked in this
or any previous Fedora. Yes, NM will do it, but that's no good because
of the previously stated problems. the network service won't do it
because it tries to run DHCP immediately after bringing up the
interfaces...It SHOULD wait until wpa_supplicant has run and the
interface is available for traffic before kicking off DHCP...
GDM was functional, well behaved and stable in Fedora 8. I used it to
log into other F8 machines locked away in difficult to get at racks.
Fedora 9 has effectively removed that ability by shipping a GDM with
gdmsetup. How many users depend on that functionality? I did, and
won't be able to upgrade to F9 for any other machines.
A suggestion...
Use the fedora website/wiki to collect information about use cases.
Find out what people depend on. Use that to provide a guarantee that
functionality and usefulness won't go backwards. If it was ever setup,
I'd tell you everything I do with my machines.

X and Intel 965
by Jeffrey Ross
so far the installation of FC6 has gone relatively smoothly albeit some
additional learning and bumps due to the 64 bit architecture of this
machine.
The mother board is an Intel DG965RYCK which uses Intel's 965 express
chipset. Based upon what I've been able to find on the web, Intel has
released the drivers for this chipset to OSS, although there have been
issues as to what Intel actually released and how complete they might be.
Regardless I unable to run mplayer (or Realplayer) for that matter
without the display first freezing then going black followed by garbage
along the bottom of the screen. A Control-Alt-Backspace does not stop X
from running. The only way to recover the machine from this point is to
reboot the system. I am still able to connect from a remote system, its
just the display that has become unstable.
lspci -v shows the following for the graphics adapter
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 514d

suggestions would be appreciated.

Was gdmsetup removed from Fedora 9? I'm trying to figure out how to
configure gdm.

F9 & GDM 2.22 : cannot define multiple login servers anymore?
by Rob
Hello,
Fedora 9 ships with a newer version of GDM (2.22), for which the gdmsetup
is missing. I found many discussions on people also missing the setup utility.
However, I couldn't find an answer to my problem:
Before F9, I had GDM configured to produce 3 login screens on my PC, on
vt7, vt8 and vt9, simply by having this line in /etc/gdm/custom.conf :
[servers]
0=inactive
7=Standard vt7
8=Standard vt8
9=Standard vt9
I tried to add this manually to the file, but it does not seem to work anymore.
Has anybody an idea how I can integrate this with GDM 2.22 ?
Thank you,
Rob.

How to export terminal to F9 using r-tools?
by Marcelo Garcia
Hi
How do I enable my Fedora 9 (x86) to accept terminals from other
machines using r-tools? I cannot use ssh -X in this case.
I tried to configure using /etc/gdm/custom.conf in the "xdmcp" option:
Enable=true
Port=177
but it is not working.
Thanks

gnome panel icons rearranging themselfes with compiz
by Christoph Höger
Hi,
whenever I restart my fedora 9 laptop
(running Gnome compiz at actual stable versions:
[choeger@choeger6 ~]$ rpm -q gnome-panel
gnome-panel-2.22.2-1.fc9.i386
[choeger@choeger6 ~]$ rpm -q compiz
compiz-0.7.6-2.fc9.i386
) I see my icons (include some applets and starters) in a new randomized
order.
For example currently my cpu frequency applets appear between my
complete name and the current date, nm-applet and battery applet have
gone far left.
Anyone seeing that too? How can that be fixed?
regards
Christoph
