Fedora 19 tricky install
by Robert Dady
Hi all!
I have the following configuration.
Win7 UEFI install
Fedora 19 UEFI install
Disk has GPT and Linux has following partitions:
/, /boot, /boot/efi, swap, /home (luks)
After installing Fedora 19 my system booted into Win7 instead of Fedora 19.
I have found out that the EFI entry of my previous Fedora 17 install hasn't
been modified and it was no longer valid. So bootnext booted my Win7.
Fedora 17 efi entry pointed previously to "\EFI\redhat\grub.efi"
I have made a new efi entry pointing to "\EFI\fedora\grubx64.efi" and I
named it "Fedora 19+"
I got a grub2 shell. Manually giving the root, linuxefi, initrdefi and boot
commands my Fedora 19 booted successfully.
Now I did a "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg"
At this point I still get the grub2 shell on boot and I need to issue the
"configfile (hd0,gpt5)/grub2/grub2.cfg".
Then I get the boot-menu I want to load automatically.
Question is where to put and how to name my grub2.cfg or what to modify
additionally to get grub config loaded automatically.
Best regards,
Robert Dady

I did close (after umount and using root)
/dev/mapper/luks-61967fe7-9143-45ea-aaf5-2e2697dbfeed
but again, when I plug the key back, it mounts the vol without
askig the passphrase.

yum grouplist does not show all groups
by Özgür
Hi,
The command
yum grouplist
does not show all available groups in Fedora 19. I had the same problem
before in CentOS and other versions of Fedora. As an example, I can
install
yum groupinstall "Development Libraries"
but yum grouplist does not show such a group. Is that a bug, or am I doing
something wrong?

Update Dependancies broken for the past few days.
by Scott Beamer
Greetings all,
I'm running KDE on Fedora 19 X64
For the past 2-3 days I've had problems updating a number of packages
because of failed dependencies.
For a while I figured it was a problem that would resolve itself once
the mirrors were updated, but so far, the problem persists.
II've done 'yum clean all' numerous times to no avail.
Is this a problem on my end or Fedora's end?
Here is the the output of 'yum update':
$ sudo yum update

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

FC18 - Libreoffice keeps crashing
by Paul Erickson
For some reason whenever I try to configure Libreoffice, for instance to
change the default language setting, or try to change the font in a
document, Libreoffice keeps crashing. I get the following error message:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve
property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-size' of type `GtkRequisition' from
rc file value "0" of type `glong'
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve
property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-spacing' of type `GtkBorder' from rc
file value "0" of type `glong'
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success.
Has anyone else encountered this, and if so, how have you resolved it?

Reboot hangs from Cinnamon
by Frank McCormick
I have several desktops installed on my 19 install, including Cinnamon
and Mate.
I noticed this morning for the first time that a reboot from Cinnamon hangs.
I end up with a blank screen and one line at the time which as I recall
mentions
reboot and some numbers.
Does anyone have a clue as to what is wrong? Mate reboots fine as does
XFCE.

Problems booting Fedora 19 with UEFI
by Edward Quick
Hi,
I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 5721 which came with Windows 8. I
would like to dual boot this with Fedora but am having problems running
the Fedora Install. I have Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD.iso on usb, and whenever
I boot with UEFI (secure on or off), the
boot process hangs at the line, Reached target Basic System:
[ 12.650116] localhost systemd[1]: Started Dispatch Password Requests to Console Directory Watch.
[ 12.650553] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Paths.
[ 12.650962] localhost systemd[1]: Reached target Paths.
[ 12.651376] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Basic System.
[ 12.651829] localhost systemd[1]: Reached target Basic System.
And then bails out after a few minutes and starts up the Dracut Emergency Shell:
[ 35.729286] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: add path (uevent)
[ 35.915042] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: update path write_protect to '0' (uevent)

[ 197.574126] localhost dracut-initqueue[395]: Warning: /dev/root does not exist
[ 197.578383] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Dracut Emergency Shell...
I have pasted the full sosreport.txt at http://pastebin.com/4stUgUDN
Please note that if I install in basic graphics mode, I still get the
same result. The only way I can get the install to work, is if I boot in
legacy mode. Unfortunately after doing this, I can no longer boot up
Windows.
If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be really grateful for some help :-)
Many thanks,
Ed

It is probably not the right list to post my question, just in case!
I would like to catch the ESC or ctl C key when using readline.
