Interactive startup on F10. Pressing "I" doesn't work
by Nigel Henry 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

On F9 I had to press the "I" a few times to enter interactive startup, on earlier Fedora versions only one press is necessary, but on F10, I can't get into interactive startup at all. I have seen this problem for F10 discussed before, but no resolutions. Does anyone know how to enter the interactive startup/bootup on F10? Nigel.

VMware server 2.0 on 64-bit F10
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

I'm unable to connect to VMware Server 2 via https://127.0.0.1:8333. The connection times out. I've been reading fragments of reports elsewhere on the web that others are running into major problems with VMware Server 2 on 64-bit F10. They all say they can't shut down VMware services or re-run vmware-config.pl without hard resetting via the power switch. Some have suggested shutting down SELinux (add selinux=0 to grub.conf), but this doesn't fix the problem. Others have suggested shutting down the firewall. Again, no joy. Can anyone point me to a working solution? --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL

And options, MD5's are now SHA256. and there are no local users, just one owner behind a modem. The only 'checked' left would be 'Cache User Information'. Is this okay to leave? What about messagebus? Do I need this one? Hangs like a kite in a steady wind. I get a 'dbus' message complaining about the two being in cohoots with each other, and blaming me for it all. please advise. David

Acroread 9 - Fewer Major Features than Version 8
by Rick Bilonick 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

I made the foolish mistake to install AdobeReader 9. When I try to open a pdf form, it tells me that features availble in version 8 are no longer available in the so-called upgrade. I used to be able to fill in the forms and save them (like IRS tax forms). Now I cannot find the old version in the repositories. Am I missing something here? Rick B.

the "proper" way to identify the bitness of your kernel and CPU
by Robert P. J. Day 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

what is the fedora-approved way to identify the wordsize of both your running kernel and your CPU? for the kernel, i'm used to running $ uname -r and just looking at the suffix, which in my case would be either "i686" or "x86_64". is there a simpler way? does one of the "uname" options reliably report just that portion -- the wordsize of the running kernel? and, secondly, regardless of the bitness of the kernel, what about identifying the wordsize of the actual CPU (since you can obviously have a 32-bit kernel running on an x86_64 CPU). my standard tricks are one of: $ grep lm /proc/cpuinfo (where "lm" stands for long mode) $ getconf LONG_BIT (should print 32 or 64) in that second case, would "uname -p" reliably show a 64-bit CPU, even with a 32-bit OS? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Can I preupgrade to Fedora-11?
by Timothy Murphy 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

When I run preupgrade on my Fedora-10/KDE system I am told "No releases available for upgrade", unless I check the box "Display unstable test release", in which case I am offered "Rawhide". My question is: if I choose Rawhide will I later be able to upgrade to Fedora-11? Or do I have to wait until I am told there are non-test releases available for upgrade? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
