F12 Installation ??
by Vincent
Hello all,
I Had the miss-fortune to loos f11 working flawlessly up to the last
update. I email for help, I promptly received some suggestions
unfortunately did not help, the hard driver was damaged. thank you so
much for help anyway.
I thought that this was my time to upgrade to F12. I started by install
Windows xp in to a new SATA driver and then f12 in an IDE Driver (same
configuration as before) the installation went OK, but on boot up showed
a blank screen, could not boot windows also, or if there was I din't
know how.
At this point I start to suspect that the combination af SATA and IDE
may have some thing to do (but I had the same combination with f11 and
worked out fine) so I reinstalled both windows in 320GB and and F12 in
120GB both SATA same result. Next I installed both in the same disk this
time f12 boot but not windows, in the boot menu, however, there is the
line with word "Other" Here is where I am now.
Should I reinstall windows? Or is there on easy way to get it back?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
A thought, I downloaded the iso files couple weeks ago, the files date
are 11/2 and 11/8/2009 could have been a bug on the installation file?,
is the iso file update regularly?

F12: Encrypted external USB Drive doesn't appears on desktop
by Schlueri
Hi,
i've a LUKS encrypted external 640GB WD USB Drive with ext4. When i plug
in the drive with Fedora 11, a prompt appears to enter the password.
After this, the drives icon is easy accessible on the desktop.
Now i've tried this with Fedora 12. Nothing happend, the drive doesn't
appears in "Computer" but i can mount and access it manually.
# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 external
# mkdir /mnt/external
# mount -t ext4 /dev/mapper/external /mnt/external
A none encrypted USB Stick work as expected. May i miss something?
Thanks for help.

Sorry about that, my bad
There's no massive security risk going on, its all private use and
nothing critical
I managed to ssh into the server as my normal user with out asking me
for a password, which I thought was pretty nifty, so I thought i could
do the same as root is all.
oh well, I'll just su when i get in as normal user, not to worry
thanks anyway, and sorry for the noise on your devel list

Fwd: root's ssh-agent $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
by Martin Airs
-------- Original Message --------
Subject: root's ssh-agent $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

Good evening all,
I've setup an authorized key for a server I regularly use, but when I
tried to run ssh-add as root, it wouldn't work until I had copied the
SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable from my normal user.
I wonder if anyone can tell me the correct way get this variable set
automatically
I can run..
eval `ssh-agent`
which does sets the variable for me, but I don't want to put that
command in say the .bashrc, or should I???
Thanks in advance
Martin Airs
ps. I'm using F12 X86_64

Is F12 ready to upgrade ? Is it worth it ?
by linux guy
I'm perplexed by the posts I am seeing regarding F12 upgrades. Lots of
upgrade issues and darn faint praise as far as I can tell ?
I was expecting a totally different response.
Is F12 stable enough to warrant upgrading to it ?
Is it a worthwhile upgrade at this point ?
Thanks.

announcing xdbusd - a silly program for taking action on dbus signals
by Tom Horsley
http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/xdbusd/xdbusd.html
I'm using it as I write for restoring my trackball xinput
settings when I switch back to linux with my KVM switch.
The whole new xinput scheme is only about 1/2 there, and
there isn't an existing mechanism for doing this, so while
waiting for the other half to show up, this lets me limp
along.
I figure it might be useful somewhere with the next
dozen or so half implemented things they kick over the
wall that land in fedora as well, hence the low-level
approach :-).

Fedora 12: Virtualization Manager issues.
by Tanner Danzey
Hi guys, first post so dont judge to harshly.
virt-manager claims it cannot connect to libvirtd, but its running
(/etc/init.d/libvirtd restart'd a bunch of times)
Here's the error code:
---
Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu:///system':
unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 463, in
_try_open
None], flags)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in openAuth
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock':
Connection refused
---
It could be that i'm trying to start it over ssh and Xforwarding, but that
shouldn't cause problems like that.
I have libvirt installed, qemu too.
Thanks in advance.

Macbook pro not bootable after f12 install
by Matt Morgan
Installing onto a macbook pro (an older one--a core duo, not core 2,
with ati x1600 radeon) from a live cd results in an unbootable disk.
Any suggestions?
In this case I took all default install options except that I told the
installer to use the entire disk.
Thanks,
Matt
