Hi all, I noticed in gpdf when opening a pdf it creates the sidebar menus, but i can't navigate the document via the sidebar menus, it does not navigate to the document location. Is this suppose to be this way now? Anyone else notice the same situation? Lee

It even works from older distros than FC2, but be prepared for some improvized and sometimes dirty manual rpm -Uvh --force work :-I. I would like to add a few steps to Seth's instructions: In case you didn't have selinux enabled previously (the relabeling may be a good idea anyhow): 7.1) yum install selinux-policy-targeted policycoreutils (or selinux-policy-strict if you please) 7.2) touch /.autorelabel This will force selinux relabeling on next boot. Make sure the next kernel to boot is the new (selinux-enabled) one. I'm not sure if this (between 7 and 8) is the best place for it. It seems to work. Also, make sure you have enough disk space (and memory) for a large yum upgrade. May sound dumb, but I just managed to get my yum upgrade interrupted by both insufficiencies :-). -- v -- v(a)iki.fi

/usr has vanished completely!
by Paul F. Johnson 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi, My entire /usr directory is completely empty! It was working, I did a reset and on restart, I started to get all sorts of errors, the drives didn't mount and on checking, /usr is devoid of absolutely everything! Does anyone know if there is anyway back from this catastrophe? Everything else is there, just completely nothing in /usr!

fedora-amd64 list?
by Justin Conover 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

Not sure were to ask this question, but I was wondering if Fedora would create a seperate amd64 list. That way it would be easier to sift through the list and just get down to amd64 specific thoughts and problems. thx,

Help Installing Oracle 10g on Fedora
by Larry D. Brown 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

I am currently running FC2T2, but I will be upgrading very soon to FC3T3. Either way, Oracle 10g makes a check for the Linux version before attempting to install a database. I doubt the issues are very much beyond "...not certified for this platform," and I only want to install it for testing and educational purposes. Any ideas about how to fool the Oracle Universal Installer into thinking it is on a supported platform? -- Larry D.

Laptop suddenly turned off
by Darek Borkowski 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

I have some problems sinc FC3test2. With every kernel since test2 sometimes laptop plugged to AC outlet or battery supplied turns off. It works at random times, but today, after upgrading to 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 the laptop turned off 4 times in 1 hour. It is too much. I've just been working in gnome (configuring sound or network) when it took place. How to fight this? I have now FC3 final (clean install). Darek Borkowski
