Yes I did
That is, did you mount the clone's parts, bind the dev, proc, sys file system, and then chroot the clone, and then from within chroot
Yes I did
did you grub2-install,
No, because it change the mbr and then going to use the clone grub.cfg. And I did not
when to do it because teh clone works. Am I wrong?
grub2-mkconfig, and run dracut?

As I said, the clone as been created from another distribution
the cp -a /boot_cloned and /boot_clone (when partition not active).
I created a new initramfs, but as I said the problem seem to appear before
the:
linux /vmlinuz-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE root=/dev/mapper/VolGrpSys3-root ro vconsole.keymap=fr rd.dm=0 rd.md=0 rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=VolGrpSys3/root
initrd /initramfs-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE.img
I am saying so because, if replace the clone by the cloned partition, I get the same
errors.
In my opnion, the error is here:
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos16 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos16 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos16 --hint='hd0,msdos16' c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b
fi
or earlier!!
Please note that /dev/sda16 and UUID=c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b are the
same partition

Re: relabel
by Patrick Dupre
Hello Chris,
I am back with you.
Thinking about your suggestion.
I generate a file: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and
a file initramfs
but these files are on the clone.
If I understand (I guess) the point in generating a new initramfs, I do not
see the point in generating a new grub.cfg file since it is not seen
during the grub2 precessing since the grub.cfg file used in on the
cloned partition until a make a new grub2-install /dev/sda
from the clone.
Anyway, in my opinion, the issue is when grub executes:
menuentry 'Fedora, with Linux 3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE-advanced-69ee06ed-3f6a-4b9f-9b86-6e24c1847cf6' {
set gfxpayload=text
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,msdos16'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos16 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos16 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos16 --hint='hd0,msdos16' c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b
fi
because the clone partition is not correct.
Something is missing:
failed to start creat static device mode in /dev
failed to start journal
etc...
To me looks like that the services are not started!!!
how the /dev partition is created?
What do yo think?
Regards.

The easiest way to do all of this after the cp -a of everything is to put together the clone at /mnt such that you have /mnt as rootfs, then /mnt/boot, and then use mount -B to mount the faux file systems, /proc, /dev/, /sys at their respective locations, /mnt/proc, /mnt/dev, /mnt/sys. Then chroot /mnt.

failed to ..
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
After I clone a / partition I cannot boot it. I get 3 errors:
failed to start create static modes in /dev
failed to start journal service
failed to open pack file: permission denied.
The last one seems to be the more serious one. However, it may due to the
previous ones.
Thank for your help.

fedup to F20 but did not switch from kdm to sddm
by Frédéric Bron
I ran fedup from F19 to F20 without any trouble.
I was excited to discover sddm but kdm came back as before.
I then installed sddm with yum but kdm still came.
I the tried
$ system-switch-displaymanager sddm
but got that answer:
The graphical display manager sddm is not supported yet.
How am I supposed to do to switch to this new destop manager?

f20 - acrobat reader where are thou?
by Robert Moskowitz
OK, where did it go?
I downloaded and installed: adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
From this I get: adobe-linux-i386.repo
This gave me flash-plugin and in the past AdobeReader but now no reader.
I did a google search and came up empty. Any tips?

Freezing mouse cursor in 19
by Frank McCormick
I have noticed the pasts few weeks the mouse cursor freezes whenever
I watch youtube videos in chrome. I am running the same Chrome version
in Debian Sid and it doesn't happen when I am running that distro.
The mouse cursor remains in one place but as I move the mouse
around I can see that it's hovering over other things.
This is happening with a wireless/keyboard/mouse combo, but it also
happened with a regular keyboard/mouse combo so I don't think it's
wireless related.
Has anyone encountered this problem. I am running the latest
kernel vmlinuz-3.12.6-200.fc19.i686 and the system is updated.
It's a Dell Optiplex 745 with 2 gigs with stock Intel Video
Maybe it's a flash problem ???
Thanks

Copy game to USB stick -
by Bob Goodwin
Can someone recommend a procedure for copying a Windows game cd to a USB
flash drive with my Fedora 20 system. My grandson has a new HP computer
and game however he has no CD drive to install it with. I would gain
some status if I can come to the rescue!
Thanks,
Bob

screwed up a drive (i think)!
by bruce
Hi.
I have a 640G drive I put back in a laptop, that now is showing up in
the "File System" as a vg_dell45 icon, as well as showing up under the
disk utility as a "Multi-disk Device" The drive didn't appear in these
areas before.
Here's the situation:
-Took the drive out of the laptop
-Inserted the drive into a usb external bay, copied a bunch of files
to a separate system
-Before copying the drive, I ran the "vgchange -ay" cmd to be able to
access the different partitions on the drive and copy the data
-the initial system is an old FC13, the newer system is a Centos6.5
-after copying, I then reinserted the drive back in the initial FC13 system.
-everything boots, appears to run
-however, when I look at the GUI File System/Disk Uility apps, I get
what I mentioned above...
I then did a fdisk -l and I see that the drive no longer appears to
contain valid partition tables!!!
So, something has happened. Researching doesn't point to anything, so
I'm looking for pointers as to the bonehead screwup I did, as well as
how to correct it.
Here's the output of the fdisk -l

What happened to 'play' command line music player?
by Edik Landaveri
Please, can you tell me why I can't find the 'play' command line music player. It used to be on the Fedora repositories 'till a few releases ago. Was it outdated & not developed anymore? I liked it because it just let me play my ogg files on the fly without even going to runlevel 5.
If it's no longer developed? It's something similar? Not CMUS or higher end one, which allows you to build playlists and the like. My music is on ogg format so I just one a simple command line music player. Thanks a lot & Happy New Year.
