how to reset root password in Fedora 10
by Sanjeev Kumar Mittal 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Hi, I am finding this strange problem, that on booting it dont stop for options and straight away login without asking any credentials and I guess it logs in as user mode. However, I wanted to install few updates, etc and hence needed the root password. Unfortunately I forgot the root password that I would had set at time of installation. I did an initial search on net on how to reset the root password, however I am not able to halt the boot grub and it dont allow me at all, I mean I dont get any option to edit or append the boot to go in run level 1. Kindly could any one let me know any clues that what is wrong in my approach or my installation. Thanks a lot in advance! -- ~ Best Regards, sanjeev

APAC Web FAD proposal -> Package maintainer's wishlist clean up
by Ankur Sinha 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi folks, I propose a simple web-FAD to clean up the package maintainer's wishlist[1]. It shouldn't really take up more than an hour if we have a few people working on this. Q. What is the wishlist? A. It's a list of packages that fedora users would like to see in the fedora repositories. Unfortunately, the list is not well maintained and thus, gives inaccurate information to package maintainers. Q. Benefits of the clean up? A. Package maintainers will benefit from a well maintained wish-list. It's a good place to direct prospective package maintainers too, when they're looking for packages to get started with. Q. How much time will it take? A. Maybe an hour and a half, two at the most. Q. What do I need to carry? A. A connection to the interweb, a web browser, IRC client. Optional but recommended: Pizza, bacon, coffee, beer, $food, $music. Q. Why APAC specific? A. Folks from one region are more likely to be available at a certain time. Any one interested is more than welcome to join in, as always. :) Q. What do I need to know? A. Reading/writing/wiki editing. Use of package manager tools, bugzilla, packagedb. Should have FAS account to be able to edit wiki. Q. What do I need to do? A. Simple workflow: - Pick up a package listed in the wishlist - Check if it is already packaged, or if a review ticket has already been filed on bugzilla - Modify wiki page accordingly. Q. What can I learn during this FAD? A. Using yum/$package_manager; using bugzilla; package maintainers process; meet people, get to know your community folks, above all, *have fun*. Q. Future plans? A. See if anyone would like to take over the responsibility of maintaining the wish list. We could even repeat the FAD every month or two. I haven't thought of a time yet. APAC folks, are you up for it? Please reply with a date and time that is convenient to you. Sometime this week, Wednesday/Thursday would be nice. Please forward the e-mail to other APAC regional mailing lists. I'm cc'ing the Join and India lists. [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainers_wishlist -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.

[Event Report] OpenStack, December 1, 2012, Symbiosis (SICSR), Pune, India

Hi, A workshop on OpenStack [1] was conducted on Saturday, December 1, 2012 at the Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research (SICSR) [2], Pune, India. Both theory and lab sessions were organized for the students. I started the proceedings using Perry Myers's presentation on "Introduction and Overview of OpenStack for IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) Clouds" for the Essex release. The various building blocks of OpenStack with their functionality was explained. An overall big picture of the architecture was presented to them with illustrations. The OpenStack Lab Guide [3] was then given to the participants to setup their own OpenStack private cloud. Some of them had brought their own laptops, while others used the Fedora machines in the labs. We started by setting up the Keystone service, and adding users for authentication. The Glance service was then installed, and configured. A Fedora 17 and cirros image [4] were then imported into Glance. The Nova service was then setup, and a SSH keypair was created for testing. The Horizon dashboard user interface was used to start a virtual machine instance. Using ssh and the created keypair, we were able to login to the virtual machine and use it. curl was used to test the different REST API on the running stack. I also showed them simple Python examples to demonstrate the OpenStack APIs. As a final presentation for the day, I gave an introduction on libvirtd, and KVM. Thanks to Manoj Aswani for working with me in organizing this workshop. Thanks also to Perry Myers and Mark McLoughlin for permission to use their presentation. Few pictures taken during the workshop are available [5].
