SOLVED: sda2 is corrupted
by Mickey
Will guys I want to thank all of you that help me on this project.
This computer crashed four days after I gave it to my friend ,he said he
just exited from playing his Games to logging onto the internet with
Firefox. and something popped up about robo.......... and he could not
restart computer.
It would come up to "rescue grub" at bootup, I checked the partitions
with gparted it changed the / an /home partitions to "UNKNOWN". It
crashed two partitions
I finally got the img of sda2 on to external hard drive 26gb.
Then I did a e2fsck /dev/sda2 it took e2fsck about 45 mins to fix the
sda2 partition , One of Two users /home directories was totally gone ,
the one tjhat was being used at CRASH time. But the one that was not
being used and had the important data to be saved was still intact.
I have never seen a Linux computer crashed this bad.
THANK GOD FOR THE GUYS THAT DEVELOPE E2FSCK.

Problem with mounting usb flash drives
by JD
Fc16 - latest updates
Desktop: XFCE4
When I insert a flash stick in a usb slot,
it appears on the desktop - but it does not
get auto-mounted as it used to in gnome2.
So, I right-click it's icon and wait 10 years
for the desktop to respond with what I need
to do, and I select to mount it.
So far,so good.
I then insert a compact flash into a usb card-reader
dongle (because the internal one never worked from
day one when I bought the laptop).
Immediately, the first usb flash is removed from
it's mount point. The new icon of the flash in the usb dongle
apears on the desktop (in the spot where the first
usb stick was) and again I right-click, wait for 10 years
and I select to mount it.
in /dev, where there was /dev/sdd and /dev/sdd1, now
appears (in addition to sda*, sdb* and sdc*), sdd, sde, sde1.
sdd1 (which was mounted as the first flash drive) is gone.
So, now it is evident I can only have one usb flash
drive in the system at a time.
Is this a problem with desktop, the kernel, or the udevd?

gnote data imported to cherrytree
by Aaron Konstam
Since at least F16 Fedora has included a progrwam for taking notes
called cherrytree seemingly a substitute for gnote or Tomboy.
Now when you choose the import option one of the sub-options is to
import daqta from tomboy. Now tomboy does not exist since it was
succeeded by gnote. My impression is that tomboy and gnote used the same
dat structures but I can't get cherrytree to import my gnotw data.
Is cherrytree the future. If so does anyone know how the gnote data can
be imported into cherrytree?

I do not see your point or reasoning to announce your exit from Fedora.
I too am an older person, retired for 5 years and have been using Fedora
from it's inception. I have several boxes running Fedora, one even
running VMWare Workstation with Windows 7 as a guest, without problems!
Have you tried other specific forums to see if they offer any help for
your alleged non-Fedora support of Adobe and Flash?
Please leave us all alone, this is a great community and does not need
whining!
Have a great life

F17: gnome fallback with intel 855GM
by Dave Mitchell
Just installed F17 on an old laptop. Gnome 3 is coming up in fallback;
is there any way to get Gnome shell instead?
My Googling on on the subject seems to indicate that:
* the Intel 8xx graphics have buggy 3D, so are blanket disabled
in Gnome 3;
* but that starting in F17, Gnome Shell should be able to work with 2D

Built-in memory card reader not working
by JD
I have had this issue for a long time, just never
bothered with it as I had no flash media to use
it for.
I just bought a 16GB secure digital Extreme Compact Flash
(San Disk). System does not sense it's presence whenit is inserted
into the memory card reader's slot.
This is the memory card reader, as reported by lspci:
00:09.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ711M1/MC1 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus
Controller (rev 20)
00:09.1 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ711M1/MC1 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus
Controller (rev 20)
00:09.2 System peripheral: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ711Mx 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus
Accelerator
I cannot tell if the device (card reader) is dead or if it is just
unsupported.
