Installing FC16 DVD ISO image via USB key can't see USB device
by Peter Butler
I have created a USB installer for the FC16 DVD ISO image via the
livecd-iso-to-disk tool, as detailed on the Fedora wiki. I also included
the appropriate "repo=hd:<device>:/path/file" boot parameter to the kernel
command-line, as the wiki states that for all releases prior to FC17 this
must be added.
My USB installer boots the kernel and initrd and starts to run anaconda,
but soon complains that it is "Unable to download the kickstart file."
which had been specified in the kernel command-line as "hd:sdb1:/ks1.cfg".
I've tried changing this (just for the sake of argument) to sda1, sdb2
etc, but sdb1 *is* indeed the device with the kickstart file (ks1.cfg).
Indeed even in the kernel boot output the device can be seen:

CIFS mount problem with 3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64 kernel
by Doug Wyatt
Hi,
After running a yum update on F16 which included the 3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64
kernel, and rebooting to that kernel, all the CIFS mounts failed with
error 22 (Invalid Argument).
In '/var/log/messages I found a series of entries like this:
Jun 24 05:34:36 mel kernel: [ 3989.465216] CIFS: Unknown mount
option "UID=500"
Removing UID=500 from an fstab entry allowed me to mount that Win7
share, but all files/dirs in that share are now root:root. I also
tried UID=user_name, but got the same invalid arg error.
Rebooting to the prev kernel (3.3.8-1.fc16.x86_64), fstab entries with
UID=500 again mounted w/o error and shares again show the approp owner.
Is this a bug in the newer kernel?
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Doug Wyatt
P.S. My apologies if this is a duplicate message - I sent the original
about 4 hours ago, but haven't yet received a copy from the list. I
looked for an online archive to check, but failed to find anything
more recent than 2010.

Problems with update -- redhat-lsb conflicts
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
Apologies, but I'm arriving late to this discussion.
I've just gone through a re-install (F15->F16) and now an upgrade
(F16->F17).
I've encountered the same problem that has been lenghthily discussed. I
also see that it impacts the upgrade of gtk2, cairo, and several other
packages.
Is this situation still awaiting a resolution?
Much thanks,
Max Pyziur

heisenpointer (Fedora 17 flickering mouse pointer)
by Ian Malone
Hi, has anyone else seen this? Since installing F17 (probably the
first clean fedora install I've done since single digits), I get a
flickering mouse pointer when the system is busy. This might be
related to the fact the mouse pointer hides instantly (no pause) when
stopped over certain window areas (list items seem most common).
Asking partly because I'm not sure what component to report this as a
bug in.

way to flush /var/log/message
by Paul Allen Newell
Hello:
Is there a way to flush output to /etc/log/message so a tail -f catches
things when they happen rather than what I think I am seeing as a buffer
hold-until-full delay?
Thanks in advance,

How to get rid from full screen mode in AisleRiot Solitaire
by Joachim Backes
Hi all,
I' running F17 with all updates applied.
My problem: During playing AisleRiot Solitaire I switched to the full
screen mode, but I don't see a way to switch off the full screen mode.
For getting control over the gnome3 desktop, the only way I see is to
close the AisleRiot Solitaire window with Ctrl+W, but this will end
AisleRiot Solitaire.
Any other solution?
Kind regards

Dovecot error re gvfs
by SternData
This keeps showing up in my logwatch. Is it something to worry about?
It seems to be related to reboots.
dovecot: master: Warning: /run/user/sdstern/gvfs is no longer mounted.
If this is intentional, remove it with doveadm mount: 3 Time(s)

fedora 17: systemctl cannot start mysqld

Hi listers
Sofar (i.e. up to fedora 15) no problem to start mysqld at system startup.

Has anybody of you had such an systemd problem? If yes, would you share

An apology is required from me.
by Aaron Konstam
Since I am responsible for initiating the attacks on Fedora for using
Gnome 3, I feel I should clarify with some kind of apology. I did not
say nor do I mean that F17 is a defective version of Linux. Just that it
has a defective Default Desktop Environment. F17 is fine version of
Linux. And once you get past the DE it has all the good qualities you
would want in Linux distribution.
