F9 installation
by "Germán A. Racca"
Hi all:
I want to install Fedora 9 in a computer that already has Fedora 8,
but in a seprate place, just to have 2 different versions in one computer.
I new that in order to do it, I will have to create or resize a partition.
Well, when I run the installation DVD for Fedora 9 I get the following
screen:
Drive /dev/sda (114471 MB) (Model: ATA SAMSUNG HD120IJ)
____________________________________________________________
sda2
114274 MB
____________________________________________________________
DEVICE MOUNT POINT/VOLUME TYPE SIZE (MB)
LVM Volume Groups
VolGroup00
114272
LogVol00
ext3 113216
LogVol01
swap 1024
Hard Drives
/dev/sda
/dev/sda1
ext3 196
/dev/sda2 VolGroup00 LVM PV 114275
I have tried to do a lot of thing but no success. How could I get a space
of approximately 30 GB to install another Linux, in my case Fedora 9?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English.

Unneccesary abuse?
by William John Murray
Hello guys,
I just looked at an old bookmark to my 'smolt' profile stored
with Fedora. I think it is a little unnecessary to be met with:
Hardware : Crap!
20 Sat Nov 8 08:14:00 2008
Error: Critical: New versions of smolt use a public UUID. Yours is:
pub_4259ad23-b527-4049-88f0-75dc9591c2ff
Maybe this is supposed to be helpful. But it doesn't seem that way.
Is there a better message possible?
Bill

Yes, I'm having the same issues. See my recent message on gdm error messages.

Thunderbird cannot open attachments with accented filenames
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
Sometimes, I receive e-mails with attachments whose names contain
accented characters. When I try to open them, for instance, with
OpenOffice, I get an error message telling me that the file does not
exist. The error message indicates a filename with very strange
characters where the accented characters should be. Then, I have to
save the file first and then open it. Something similar occurs with
Firefox, when trying to open files with accented characters in their
names. Is there some solution for this problem? My e-mail client is
Thunderbird, and I am running F9.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Question about X-Fi cards and FC9 (or FC10 upcoming ...)
by William W. Austin
I am thinking about building another machine for "fun and games" (to
replace an aging machine that will replace the older firewall box
here).
In particular I heard demos this weekend directly comparing the Audigy
card that I'm now using with an X-Fi card (specifically the PC Express
X-Fi Soundblaster Titanium card). I was really impressed. But trying
to read through all of the FC9 documentation (both in the distro and
on-line blogs, etc.) I cannot tell if this card should work on FC9. (Or
on the upcoming FC10).
Does anyone have any information on this one? I have tried the
archives, but searching on all of the permutations of X-Fi, XFI, etc.
have not helped.
Please feel free to answer off-line if you don't want to waste
everyone's bandwidth.
Thanks

how to verify cd
by Henning Larsen
hi.
I downloaded the kde pre 10 is, but it does not boot up all the way.
I get a message about fail in /init initramfs.
I have burned it 2 times, with max speed and lower speed, it fails at
the same place in the boot-process.
How do I check the cd and / or the iso?

Re: fglrx for F9.x86_64

No, it was in RPMFusion that I found an x86_64 kmod that actually loaded
which caused me to start looking into getting it working again. I had
it working in FC6, but not in F9 up until this point.
> Here's my xorg.conf.
I looked, I didn't see much that looked like it would help.
I changed a bunch of options to no avail. I started banging my head
against the wall.

Oh, I believe you! I seem to remember having some 3-4 thousand fps
under FC6 using the proprietary driver.
I tried removing my xorg.conf and letting X create one for me. Didn't
work. Then I tried playing with aticonfig. Nope, didn't work either,
and fglrx-config-display doesn't seem to make any modifications to my
xorg.conf. Finally I stumbled upon livna-config-display, and when I ran
it, it ran ldd, and I think *that* was the key which got me working
again. googleearth no longer complains about software emulation mode
and glxgears is now giving me between 4500 and 5300 fps. WOW!
SO, THANKS FRANK! I appreciate the hints and helps that caused me to
dig deeper.
I still despair that this stuff has to be so damn complicated, but, such
is life.

Fedora on Mac Book Pro
by Luc MAIGNAN
Hi,
I try to install Fedora on an external drive and boot it from a Mac Book
Pro (REFIT as boot loader).
I setup Grub on the MBR of the external disk.
Unfortunaly, when I try to boot, it tries to boot Windoze :-( !!!
Has anyone experience of such installation ?
