logical process

Bonsoir,
Sometimes ago I asked a question about bluetooth on f14 (hid2hci) and
got no answer... I don't complain; after all every computer has its own
problems....
But I solved my problem.
I have a bluetooth icon in the gnome bar with a red cross on it when I
login. So I (everybody could) think that bluetooth is not enabled, but....
clicking on the icon I have only one choice: disable bluetooth !!???
After disabling bluetooth (red cross is still there), if I click, I can
enable bluetooth: this is logic! (The preceding steps are not..)
And.... bluetooth is working and my bluetooth mouse is available!
Alleluiah!
But is it a right way to proceed? Maybe for gnome people.

cannot boot to F14
by Michael Hennebry
I messed up installing F14 and don't know how to fix it.
What I had planned to do was reuse a /boot partition and put the rest
in a single new partition I had already created for the purpose.
I forgot about the /boot partition and I think I told it the
wrong thing when it asked where to put the bootloader.
I'm reasonably certain that it is recored somewhere,
but I don't know where and google has not been my friend.
Now I can only boot to F13, using the original /boot .
I tried to fix it by copying and editing stuff from
the F14:/boot to F13:/boot, but it hasn't helped.
I can still boot to F13, but when I got for F14,
I get a file not found error.
Of course, the particular file is not mentioned.
The F14 partition is /dev/sdb9 which I mound on /media/b9 .
Do I have to reinstall?
The following information is probably a bit much,
but I don't know enough to reduce it.
root@localhost media]# mount /dev/sdb9 b9
[root@localhost media]# cd b9/boot

My F13 installation also has a lot of the elided error messages.
It also has the swapoff complaint.

Strange df output
by Daniele Guerrieri
Hi,
my Fedora 15 is installed on /dev/sda11, which is the rootfs; why df
-h or cat /etc/mtab
produces this output?
Does anybody know what's the meaning of:
'rootfs Mounted on /' and
'/dev/sda11 mounted on /tmp, /var/tmp, /home' ?
How can /dev/sda11 be mounted on /home and /tmp and /var/tmp ?
Here the strange output:
------------Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
********rootfs 20G 9.9G 9.2G 52% /
-------------udev 489M 0 489M 0% /dev
-------------tmpfs 496M 304K 496M 1% /dev/shm
-------------tmpfs 496M 716K 496M 1% /run
********/dev/sda11 20G 9.9G 9.2G 52% /
-------------tmpfs 496M 0 496M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
-------------tmpfs 496M 0 496M 0% /media
********/dev/sda11 20G 9.9G 9.2G 52% /tmp
********/dev/sda11 20G 9.9G 9.2G 52% /var/tmp
********/dev/sda11 20G 9.9G 9.2G 52% /home
This is an extract of /etc/fstab:
UUID=98d28139-f7f9-4e77-8cc6-15c75bdb0f31 / ext4
defaults 1 1
the /dev/disk/by-uuid/98d2... is a soft link to /dev/sda11, to confirm
that /dev/sda11 is rootfs.
Can I unhide the real /dev/sda11 between rootfs or it is a kernel behaviour?
Thanks,
Daniele

Alps Electric touchpad and Fedora 15
by Alexander Volovics
I am looking at 2 laptops with an Alps touchpad and Fedora 15 + Gnome 3:
1) Dell Inspiron 1764 with Intel Core i5-430M
2) Dell Vostro 3750 with Intel Core i5-2410M (Sandy Bridge)
1) is almost 2 years older than 2) so I suspect the same goes
for the Alps Electric touchpad.
On both laptops the Alps is "recognized" as a PS/2 mouse.
In general this works good though I have not checked if
all the functionality of the touchpad is available.
My question concerns the entry "Mouse and Touchpad" under
"System Settings" (gnome-control-center).
In 1) clicking on this icon gives you a configuration window
with entries for mouse AND touchpad (with rather skimpy options).
In 2) clicking on this icon ONLY shows a mouse configuration window.
Why this difference? It also shows up in the hardware listings.
On 1) I find PS/2 mouse AND Alps. On 2) I only see PS/2 mouse.
Newer Alps? Sandy Bridge?

wireless cards recommendation
by Zoran Spasojevic
Hello everyone,
I nave been using ndiswrapper for years.
I would like to get a new wireless card before I install fc 15.
I was wondering if anyone would recommend a good wireless
card that uses 64 bit drivers that come with fedora.
I would like to stop using ndiswrapper.
Thanks in advance,

Yum install ntop fails -
by Bob Goodwin
There seems to be a problem with yum install ntop for F-15.
[root@box6 bobg]# yum install ntop --skip-broken
produces:
Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
GeoIP-1.4.7-0.2.20090931cvs.fc15.i686 from fedora
dejavu-lgc-sans-mono-fonts-2.33-1.fc15.noarch from fedora
ntop-3.4-0.5.pre3.fc15.i686 from fedora
rrdtool-1.4.4-3.fc15.i686 from fedora
Skip broken was suggested after the first attempt which produced
a list of failed dependencies.
Does anyone know what the status is? I had no success with a
bugzilla search but perhaps I didn't hit the right key words?

XBMC Airplay on Fedora ?!?
by Valent Turkovic
Hi guys,
I installed xbmc and use it as my media center on Fedora, and it works
awesome. I also have some apple devices and would love to use Airplay
feature so that I could play video instead on small iphone screen on
large TV screen via airplay feature.
You can see how this feature works in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oBfC8Lqumo
I setup xbmc per this wiki:
http://code.google.com/p/play2wifi/wiki/README
su -
yum install xbmc python-twisted
wget http://play2wifi.googlecode.com/files/Play2wifi-0.1.tar.bz2
tar xvjf Play2wifi*
cd Play2wifi*
cd src
cp play2wifi.service /etc/avahi/services/
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart
vi play2wifi.cfg # port 8080
python play2wifi.py
But when I try to airplay video from iphone or ipad to my XBMC I just
get an error that video can't be played on my Fedora box ;(
I don't have LiveTV menu in my XBMC so maybe that is the issue?!? How
can I enable LiveTV menu in XBMC?
Please try these instructions and say if you get video to play on XBMC.
Thanks,
Valent.
