usb ethernet adapter
by Gary Hodder 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

trying to get a Davicom DM9601 USB Ethernet adapter to work with Fedora 17. The driver keeps turning the carrier off on the device. Anyone know a fix for this or am I better off getting a better one. If I need to get a better one what cheapies on Ebay are known to work? This is for a dell laptop to connect to a adsl modem and the on board network card will connect to the local network switch. The laptop will be the local server and run off solar power. Below is a cut from the messages file. Thanks Gary.

f17 - minimal + gnome :: init 5 does not work
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

I remembered that on a non-graphical system (actually I did a graphical install, but changed the runlevel to 3) was just to type in: init 5 So I tried it and things seem to just hang. So I rebooted. Probably need to install more than just gnome on minimal to get gnome?

how to remove Gnome and leave or install KDE?
by Gary Kline 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

last week I tried to install the ubuntu 12.0.1-Server. I was tried of having the new bootloader mess up my loading fedora. The CD asked me some questions that my F-17 CD did not ask, then it said to reboot. I did and without any load errors, it booted into what appeared to be Ubuntu. After loading the new files and being directed to reboot again, it loaded at fedora 17. Since then I've had no problems with the UEFI loader. I *did* have to get port 22 working to ssh into my desktop, and other odds and end. Unlike ubuntu, I couldn't play a DVD movie without adding some disallowed packages. Etc.... But for my last trick, I want to get rid of gnome and install the kde desktop. I have konsole installed because I hate that flashing cursor in "terminal"... so I have several KDE libraries. What is the safe command to remove gnome? [there are a bunch of gnome utilities I use, but for the most part, I prefer the other desktop. thanks for some clues! -- Gary Kline kline(a)thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-six years of service to the Unix community.

trying to add dom0_mem=512M,max:512M into /etc/grub2.cfg
by Jerome Yanga 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi! I would like to add "dom0_mem=512M,max:512M" into /etc/grub2.cfg. However, I know that /etc/grub2.cfg is automatically generated via the templates from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub. I need to make the entry similar to below. Please guide me on how to go about this. title Xen 4.1.0 / pv_ops dom0 kernel 2.6.32.36 root (hd0,0) kernel /xen-4.0.gz dom0_mem=512M,max:512M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.36 ro root=/dev/sda2 console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen nomodeset module /initrd-2.6.32.36.img Thank you in advance.
