howto boot from usb iso?
by Neal Becker
I tried copying f15 tc1 iso to my 16G usb using dd, but laptop doesn't try to
boot from it. I did change boot order at power up.
I wrote iso to /dev/sdc (not to a partition). Does that matter?

Mounting apple .dmg files in fedora
by JD
I tried to mount an Apple .dmg file like so:
mount -t hfs -o loop ximg.dmg /mnt/dmg
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg
Well, the blogs say this should work.
I even tried -t hfsplus with the same result.
Am I missing a relevant package?
I have hfsplus-tools-332.14-11.fc13.i686
installed, and F14 has no higher rev update for it,
at least according to yum.

failure to auto-configure eth1 with ipv6 address
by Randy Wyatt
I am running Fedora 14 which is connecting to a Cisco 881 router.
eth1 is the connection to the Cisco router, and eth0 will be connected to an
internal switch with other clients.
I have notices that net.ipv6.conf.eth1.accept_ra is defaulted to 0. I
manually set that value to 1 using sysctl -w
net.ipv6.conf.eth1.forwarding = 1 again set manually to 1.
/etc/sysconfig/networking has NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
How do I get Fedora14 to auto-configure the eth1 interface?
The setup works without problems when using Ubuntu.
Regards,
Randy

Fedora 14 : Unable to mount CD / DVD properly
by santosh
In Fedora 11 machine and Window machine I am able to mount and able to
see the contents of CD / DVD.
But in Fedora 14 I am unable to see its contents.
When I insert CD / DVD it displays following message on screen:
" You Have Just Inserted a Blank CD
Choose What application to launch
--> Open CD /DVD creator
--> Open Folder
"
When I choose "Open folder" It shows CD is blank
But its not a blank CD . I am able to see its contents in another
machine with Fedora 10 there.
Its a dual boot machine ( fedora 14 / windows ) . Able to see the
contents of CD in Windows
I installed fedora 14 using DVD.

[OT] Need Some Help Here...
by Manuel Escudero
Dear Fedora User:
I'm a Fedora User Just Like You and I Love Helping Linux in What I can.
Getting straight into the point, I work in a Startup with some people
here in my country and by now, we need access to a service called
"LaunchRock" for one of our projects.
Someone in the Fedora Comunity LATAM once said:
"In OpenSource World, maybe sometimes who you know less
is who can help you most" Trying to explain the idea of No matter
how far we are between each others, the love for the community
itself can Join us in one same spirit.
Today I come to you asking for your help. If you'd like to help
us here, just go to:
http://launchrock.com/fqdkp (My Promotional Link for invite users)
and insert one E-mail adress to "apply for an invitation" Unless
you invite many people using your own link the service will never
contact or spam you in life, don't worry.
it Would be great if you share the link I gave you above with other
people asking them to "sign up" for the service, it is just to help
our project in this side of the world and it won't take you more than
3 minutes to help us sharing that link I gave you :)
Thanks and God Bless you.

OpenMPI broken on host of virtual machine
by Kevin H. Hobbs
Our F13 cluster is primarily used to run OpenMPI applications.
I installed a virtual guest using the instructions at :
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/p...
to do some development builds of a package I use and now OpenMPI jobs
fail to start with :
[bubbles.hooperlab][[55228,1],0][btl_tcp_endpoint.c:638:mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_complete_connect]
connect() to 192.168.122.1 failed: Connection refused (111)
on node 0, bubbles
192.168.122.1 belongs to virbr0 on bubbles
bubbles and all of the compute nodes are on 192.168.0.*
If I take down virbr0 on bubbles everything works.
Where might things be going wrong?

giving up on google-chrome
by Neal Becker
I've been happily using google-chrome on F14 for some time, from
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
I've used this together with
flash-plugin-10.2.159.1-release.i386
using nspluginwrapper.
I used to use google-chrome-unstable, but then one day, it started misbehaving.
When quit, chrome would not restart. Or, it would, but no pages would load. I
found that when quit, several processes were left running.
The only way to restart was to killall chrome (2 times!), then rm -rf
~/.config/google-chrome. Fortunately, chrome sync would reinstall all my
plugins and pretty much restore everything.
Now the problem is, that the current google-chrome-stable is doing the same
thing.
I have reason to believe it is actually using flash that is causing this
problem.
Anyway, no more chrome for me (these experiments get a bit old after a while).
Unless, someone knows a workaround? (besides, no flash)

File corruption - prelink problem?
by Mogens Kjaer
This is the second time I've seen this problem, in a week.
Two different machines, both running f14-x86_64
Some of the binaries are corrupt so the programs won't run.
On one machine it was /bin/sed, on another I'm investigating now, it
is several files, starting with /bin/tcsh.
rpm -V -all on the second machine displays (files modified by me are not
listed):
..5...... /bin/tcsh
..5...... /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon
..5...... /usr/bin/qemu
..5...... /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/f951
..5...... /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/cc1plus
..5...... /usr/bin/enfuse
The md5sum is ok for tcsh after a reinstall.
Is this a prelink problem?
