I have found (see reference) that restore the root ("/") is not as simple as as just executing the restore command when running in rescue mode. With the current emphasis being place on use of UUIDs in both Fedora and RHEL, the whole business of UUIDs need to be better documented.

[Bug 595695] New: Direct links to RNs broken.

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595695 Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: eric(a)christensenplace.us ReportedBy: eric(a)christensenplace.us QAContact: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com CC: stickster(a)gmail.com, kwade(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora Description of problem: * Previously, the release notes were located at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ * Their location has changed to release specific URLs. * A link to the release notes is provided in fedora-bookmarks. * fedora-bookmarks are imported by the browser only on *first launch* so as to not overwrite user modifications. The new bookmarks layout causes two problems: 1. Nobody filed a fedora-bookmarks bug so Fedora 13 (and anyone on F-11 or F-12 etc) will default to going to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ which is a 404. Since the bookmarks can only be imported on first launch, we cannot push an update to fix this if the user has launched the browser (which is extremely likely). 2. Even if I were to fix the bookmarks page to point directly to a specific release version (which again would take effect only if someone would yum update before launching Firefox), then if anyone updated to F-14, the bookmark would not change and would still point to e.g. F-13. So, I do not think that we should put version specific information into our bookmarks URLs. To solve both of the above problems, I believe we should try to do some User-Agent detection and redirection. Fedora browsers have an RPM NVR attached to them. For example: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; es-ES; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100517 Fedora/3.6.4-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.4 This tells us that the user's installed language is es-ES and it's a Fedora browser, specifically running F-13. We should then redirect queries to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/es-ES/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/index.html If we cannot figure any information out about the Fedora release or language (or there are no relnotes in that language), I propose the default redirect should be to the en-US version of the latest Fedora release notes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

Self-Introduction
by Юрий Хабаров 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

- Name : Yuri Khabarov - Projects where I worked before: http://forweb.su At this project for web-designers and developers I was writing a technical notes about SQL and web-servers, such as Apache and Microsoft IIS. - I think, that I have not a bad level of working on computer. So, I can build a web-server based on Fedora with apache-mysql-php. Working in bash is my commonplace. Also I have a certificate of MySQL administration ( http://www.intuit.ru/diploma/r0lySLZGyvu6/A00074937/), I think that my knowledge maybe useful. - Such as other my people skills, I can find a common language with every person. I'm a very friendly person :) - Why I want to work with docs? Every day on some linux-forums I see posts from users, who can't find some documentation for some programm, HOWTO-pages in russian language. In my town not so much people, who use linux, because a lot of users think that it is very difficult OS for them. - Other question: why I chose a Fedora? Because my father and I think that "right" linux is a linux, which based on RedHat distributive :) I'm using Fedora starting 4-th version, and I want to enjoy it more. - My GPG-key fingerprint: [b00blik@fedorahost ~]$ gpg --fingerprint 2A567AE7 pub 2048R/2A567AE7 2010-07-31 Key fingerprint = F105 949F D450 9D15 B554 EDF3 BDAC 86DF 2A56 7AE7 uid Yuri A.

Introduction- Greg Krpan
by Greg Krpan 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Hello fellow contributors. My name is Greg Krpan and I am looking to contribute to the Documentation Project. In the past, most of my work has been as a SysAdmin, but I have also performed a number of documentation roles as well. My early documentation work was to document servers and data center configurations for disaster recovery planning, I have also been involved in the creation of a user manual to assist in employee migration from Novell Groupwise to Lotus Notes, along with associated training in order to familiarize users with the new application. I have been published twice for my work designing and constructing a Beowulf-class supercomputer for geographic modelling for the USGS. My skill level with computers is high. I am comfortable with most any hardware configurations from PC's to mainframe, and anything in between. Most of my experience has been supporting midrange systems, primarily Dell PowerEdge (RHEL) IBM RS/6000 (AIX) and Sun UltraSPARC (Solaris). I build my own PC's for home use, and most recently operated my own computer consulting business where I promoted Fedora as the primary operating system. In the role of a SysAdmin, I have had heavy interaction with users, and am able to communicate on any level from "newbie" to expert with confidence. I have also had call center experience, in which patience and the ability to calm a customer was paramount to providing a pleasant experience for the customer. I am a good fit for the documentation project as I believe in providing the most complete documentation possible in order to allow users to become more self sufficient with their use of the Fedora and it's integrated components. I can break down a problem quickly and efficiently in order to develop and document a solution, and can relate that solution to any level of audience required.

Script for Beat Writing
by A. Mani 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

I think a script for collecting basic info in the following format would be useful for beat writers. 1. Collect a subset of packages by tag from package database 2. browse one level below the names of packages and extract description 3. Extract names of latest versions with occurrence of fc14, fc13 4. reach Koji and extract latest 6 entries of changelog 5. continue 6. write all the info in seq order Best A. Mani -- A.

Release Notes Schedule
by John J. McDonough 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

I mentioned earlier that I put an annotated schedule at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Notes_schedule What I failed to mention, and should have .... THIS IS A WIKI! If you have comments, concerns, good ideas, please don't be shy about adding them so we can all benefit. Note that the left 2 columns are from poelcat's schedule (well, the item field may have been shortened to fit my to-do list), but the right two columns provide a space to keep notes about what we intend to do, or what we did, and perhaps more important, what we didn't think of and should try to remember next time. --McD
