installation issue
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I am still stocked.
Before the installation, I have to setup the "installation destination".
I imagine that there is a configuration file storing the partition,
the mounting point, etc....
Could you please tell me where is this config file?
Thank.

fedora 16, ext4 corruption
by Ian Malone
Hi,
Is anyone else seeing problems with F16 ext4? I recently moved my
install onto a new harddisc (which is reporting SMART is fine after
running a full test) and did that by making a new ext4 fs (previously
ext3) then rsyncing across. I'm now seeing occasional system 'freezes'
(not hard freezes, but programs can fail to start or freeze. Yesterday
the desktop completely stopped, but I was able to switch to a virtual
console). dmesg reports errors to do with failing to write the journal
and remounting read-only. On reboot an fsck is required, which finds
some fixable problems. Obviously I'm wondering if it's the OS or the
new disc. Was planning an F18 install soon which might help with one
problem but not the other.
Don't know if it's the 'ext4 data corruption bug' or if that's been
fixed. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIxNDQ

Mouse scrolling problem in Fedora18
by Todor Petkov
Hello,
I have installed Fedora18 on Sapphire EDGE-HD Mini PC.It has only 2 USB
ports, so I used only keyboard and not mouse during the install. Now the
mouse scroll does not work. I found this article
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/8386/mouse-scroll-doesnt-work-in-f...
but the step did not help.
I am not sure if this is related to the lack of mouse during the
install or the hardware itself. I tried with different mouse (the
original is Dell, I tried with Logitech), but still no wheel working.
Does someone else have this or similar problem?
Regards,

Slighty OT Git Hub/Heroku
by Roger
I have a git hub repository where I have put the Ruby on Rails
development system on Heroku for work by myself and 2 other volunteer devs.
How and/or where would I post the file tree so that we all can work on
the various files, I'm lost on this aspect.
I have explored Github and Heroku but could find no thing obvious.
Can someone point me in the right direction to get this dev working
Thank you in advance

"_REG", ACPI problem
by Wilbert Isaac Cortés González
Well, hi to everybody, a few days a go I was trying to install Fedora 18 in a Toshiba Satellite, but for my surprise I got this error message after I made boot from the DVD: "Fail in evaluating the _REG object of EC device. Broken bios is suspected"; I tried a few of "solutions", but I didn't succeed, with those, so my question is: is there any real solution?

Howto get a stack trace from coredumps now that we have abrt?
by Neal Becker
Now that abrt is intercepting core dumps, what do I do to get a stack trace for
a binary that is NOT a fedora package? Either my own code, or something like,
shall we say, just for the sake of argument, google chrome?
I know how to turn off sending core dumps to abrt, but I don't want to always
run that way, and I don't know how to trigger this core dump.

Check Updates option does no work for me in Software application
by Aaron Konstam
The Check Updates option in the Software application does not work for
me. It starts as expected reporting the number of updates. But it never
reaches the install step and just keeps running without end.
Does this work for other people? If so what is your trick to get it to
work?
