Where's the "alternative status menu"
by Sam Varshavchik
Is it just me, or has the alternative status menu Gnome extension has been
broken for at least several months now. The shutdown option is nowhere to be
found on any machine I have the Gnome desktop running and the extension
installed.

cannot reach F16 box via ssh
by M. Fioretti
Greetings,
I have just installed F16 on a friend's box. Now I want to enable sshd in
order to log in from home and do system administration, updates, etc...
for him.
Before F16, the same box was running Ubuntu and I could log in via ssh
without problems. Now every attempt from my home times out.
I have already enabled sshd, iptables (see below), and used the firewall
config tool to enable allow ssh incoming connections, but every attempt
times out.
Surely I'm missing something obvious, but what? Thanks in advance for any
pointer,
Marco

help needing recovering bootloader after upgrade
by Chris Caudle
The bootloader was not installed properly during a F15->F16 upgrade, so
I'm hoping someone on this list can point me in the correct direction to
recover.
I had a F15 system which also has a Windows partition.
The disks (actual logical units on a RAID controller) are like this:
first: Windows partition
second: linux partition
third: Windows NTFS data partition
fourth: Linux XFS data partition
The linux partition has multiple partitions, with a 100MB /boot partition,
a separate /home partition, swap partition, and OS partition.
On the F15 installation, grub was the default bootloader, and chained to
the Windows bootloader.
I upgraded from an F16 DVD, and at the end of the upgrade process anaconda
had a message to the effect that the bootloader was not written properly
and the system may not boot. I don't remember if the wording was that the
bootloader was not written properly, was not upgraded properly, or some
slight variant of that.
I have booted the F16 DVD in rescue mode, and the system disk is mounted
under /mnt/sysimage, everything seems to be OK there, so I think I just
need to get the bootloader set up properly again.
Would F16 have been trying to install grub2, or would it have left grub
legacy since this was an upgrade and not a fresh install?
Before I started the upgrade I printed a copy of fstab, so I have the UUID
of the /boot partition. I have the grub manual from gnu.org, should I be
able to just follow the steps in the generic grub documentation to install
grub using grub2-install?
The only tricky part that I'm aware of is getting stage 1 on the Windows
drive, and stage 1.5 and 2 (if they are still called that in grub2) onto
the /boot partition. Will grub2-install take UUID arguments, or will I
have to give it the raw device names (e.g. c0d1p1 for
controller/lun/partition number)?
I see after looking through the grub2 documentation that the name for the
stages is now boot.img and core.img. The documentation does not seem
clear to me how you get boot.img onto the MBR and core.img onto a
different drive. Maybe the correct command line to specify that to
grub2-install is all that I am missing at this point.
Anyone that can help?
thanks,
Chris Caudle

printing landscape -- hp laserjet p3005dn, hp lasejet color 2600n
by Gary Artim
Hi --
Seem all the landscape printing in linux stopped working, virtual
hosts of w7 still work on same machine. Has anyone seenn this problem?
I've tried deleting and reinstalling all the printers, different ppd,
no workie! I get 1/2 of a portrait mode printout when using landscape
- maybe some filter missing?. For the 2600 I tried foo2hp also - same
results. Ideas welcomed. I have about 8 desktops all borked for
landscape mode (so you feel some sympathy). Seriously please advise.
thanks

F16 changes
by Michael Hennebry
As my current installation is EOL,
there are things I would like to know before trying to install F16.
For me, installation has always been a struggle.
I approach new requirements with increased fear and trepidation.
I don't do upgrades.
It seems to me that an upgrade must be more complicated than
a straight install and I have enough trouble with that.
F16 seems to want GPT for disk partitioning.
What I have now works just fine.
Is GPT mandatory?
Assuming it is, under what conditions will a new partition be required?
My preference is not to mess with existing partitions.
I'm hoping GPT will not force me to.
Would changing to GPT pretty much guarantee stomping on my first partition?
The new lower limit of 1000 for normal user and group IDs is another issue.
The current user has IDs 500 and has rather
a lot of files that I want to keep.
Fedora's documentation says to use a kickstart file to keep 500.
Alas, my floppy drive no longer works.
Even if it did, I would not expect my first
hand-made kickstart file to work.
Is there a way to change the configuration
file before adding the first user?
Is there a reason that anaconda does not simply ask for the limits?
If I am feeling brave, I might try to install from hard disk.
Apparently, one can boot from a minimal CD
and point anaconda at an iso image.
Is this correct?
anaconda apparently only wants the name of the directory.
Does that mean that the DVD's iso image should
be the only file in the directory?
I see occasional references to images.
What are they for and how do they not mess up the finding of the DVD image?
Note that one reason for my frequent frustation
is that I have only one computer.
I cannot query the internet while running anaconda.
It seems to me that absent conflicts, there is no particular
reason one could not perform an installation from a running setup.

system administrator to install applications in the client machines from
the server itself.Now i want the server side component(process) to send a

should start running on receiving the signal from server side).Should the
client side process be registered to client side os? If yes how to do that?
Please help me out..
