install fedora via usb stick
by Paolo De Michele
hello everybody,
before you come to write this post I checked the official documentation of
fedora. to be brief:
- I format my usb pendrive in fat
- Using the command dd if = fedora-Live.iso of = / dev / sdx (with or
without bs for the purposes of issue, and 'indifferent)
Restart the system and remains in the screen with the cursor flashing
(infinity)
I also tried with other distributions and every time I get the same result
side bios and there 'no setting for secure boot or similar
can you give me a hand please?
thanks in advance
best regards

hardware full disk encryption
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht
I've got a standard consumer Intel 520 SSD, which claims to do hardware
based AES disk encryption with no speed penalty. It sounds like a
useful way to protect laptop data if the laptop is ever stolen. Has
anyone tried to do hardware-based full disk encryption with Fedora?
Does one need to boot from a live usb or something in order to get to an
environment where one can even enter the AES key for the disk
decryption?
Google is failing me here due to search spam for LUKS which doesn't
appear to be capable of *full* *disk* encryption. It only seems to
encrypt individual partitions.

Post upgrade woes
by Bill Davidsen
I did fc18->19 upgrade via yum (having had many failures with fedup) and one
issue and two questions remain.
Issue, XFCE doesn't save the desktop when I logout and ask for save. I have a
console open, it isn't opened on next login, but was with fc18. thoughts?
Q1: I can't find where to install or configure alternate boot animations. Can
someone point me to the info, or even give me a search string which will find it
in either google or fedora wiki?
Q2: is there a way to make fedora-upgrade use an iso (I did a hack so I could
specify).

yum update
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
ON a fedora 19, everey time I launch
yum update, I get:
--> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/nxssh for package: qtnx-0.9-16.fc19.i686
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: qtnx-0.9-16.fc19.i686 (@fedora)
Requires: /usr/bin/nxssh
Removing: nx-3.5.0-17.fc19.i686 (@fedora)
Not found
Obsoleted By: nx-libs-3.5.0.21-3.fc19.i686 (updates)
Not found
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 28 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
intel-compilerpro-common-192-13.1-5.noarch has missing requires of lsb >= ('0', '3.0', None)
It seems that there are several issues here.
What should I remove? nx? qtnx? nxclient?
freenx-server and -client are installed.
Thank.

OT: majordomo and ezmlm are so uncool
by Timothy Murphy
I've been trying to work out how spamassassin works
in the postfix/amavis context.
(Either the quantity of spam email has decreased dramatically,
or spamassassin is working for me, but how?)
I've been trying to join the spamassassin-users and postfix-users
mailing lists so that I can pursue this query, hopefully on gmail,
and have found this simple task beyond me.
Amazingly, spamassassin-users - under the auspices of apache! -
uses the ezmlm mailing-list software,
which according to Wikipedia has not been updated since 1997,
and which "only works with the qmail mail transfer agent".
(Can this really be true?)
Almost as weird, postfix-users - under the auspices of sourceforge -
uses majordomo (last release 13 years ago) which I thought
was displaced by mailman at least 10 years ago.
Unsurprisingly, it provides me with a totally-garbled digest, starting
---------
Digest of postfix-users list Tuesday, December 3 2013 Volume 01 :
Number 3910
[none]
[none]
[none]
...
---------
What is the attraction of these decrepit mailing-list programs?

sharing /boot among multible Linux distros
by Javier Perez
Hi
I need some advice here.
I am running a triple-boot system (Windows 2K, Fedora 19, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS).
It has three HDDs, one for each OS. (Windows, Fedora, Ubuntu).
I am planning to upgrade this system for Christmas. Windows will go away
and I will only run it virtualized. I have more than a year since I boot it
last.
I am planning to put a a small (100GB to 200 GB) SDD to host the OS of
Ubuntu and Fedora and have a big HDD for the /home, /var partition and
swap partitions.
In theory, Ubuntu and Fedora will have their own partitions inside the SDD.
My question is, can I share the /boot partition between Fedora and Ubuntu?
both are using Grub2. Right now I have two /boot partitions (one on each
HDD) and it is a pain. For some reason, Ubuntu does not find out Fedora
unless I mount the disk each time I update ubuntu kernel. If I update
Fedora kernel I have to go to Ubuntu to redo the boot config files. (Yes,
the master boot goes to Ubuntu for some reason I do not remember any
more). I want to keep just one /boot partition of maybe 800 MB to make
everyone feel confy.
Also, although it is off topic, is there any good tutorial to virtualize
the Win2K partition as is? I'd really hate having to reinstall all my
programs and stuff even if I am not using them much anymore.
It will be kind of more trouble having to search for old drivers and
stuff.I have the original CDs for all the programs, but many of the updates
will be missing/disappeared. Also I will have to locate again FOSS software
compatible with win2k
