Advice for "crossgrading" from 32 bit F11 to x64 ?
by linux guy 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

I do a lot of photo processing... things like generating 200 jpgs from raw files at one go. My laptop has 4GB of RAM but is currently only using 3GB because I am running a 32 bit kernel. uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Fri Sep 25 04:30:19 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Sooner or later I want to upgrade to a 64 bit kernel and 8 GB of RAM. Other than this article, I can't find any information on the subject. http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/123800 I am looking to do the upgrade WITHOUT reinstalling Fedora. I've done enough re installations in the past to know that I don't want to go there. Has anyone done crossgraded from 32 to 64 bit ? What advice do you have to offer ? Thanks

Questionable Status
by Gene Poole 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

I've very recently upgraded 2 of my machines. One machine was upgraded from Fedora 9 to Fedora 11, and the other machine was upgraded from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11. On machine 1 I have 2-hard disks (both Seagate's - 500 GB and 1000 GB), on machine 2 I have 1-hard disk (Western Digital 320 GB). All of the interfaces are SATA. The questionable status is that on machine 1 the 500 GB drive is showing as failing and on machine 2 the 320 GB drive is showing as failing. Neither drive, under the old releases, showed up as failing. How do I know that these drive are truly failing? Thanks, Gene Poole

NFS causing slooooow boot
by Valent Turkovic 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi, I'm building custom Fedora remix with some packages from RPMFusion and updated Fedora packages. Last Live USB image I created booted really slow (over 5 minutes). I tracked down the issue to nfs service. Even when this ISO image is used for installing Fedora to HDD the same issue is present. After stopping nfs service boot time was around 30 seconds! Did anybody else experience this issue?

reorganizing /home's
by Michael Hennebry 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

I'm dual booting F9 and F11. There is a partition that mounts on F9:/home and on F11:/home. I suspect that my ~/.* directories are stepping on each other. I want to reorganize so that the to-be-former home partition mounts on F9:/homes and on F11:/homes. F9:/home would be a symbolic link to /homes/F9. F11:/home would be a symbolic link to /homes/F11. User fred would have home directories with canonical names /homes/F9/fred and /homes/F11/fred . Each would have a symbolic link to /homes/fred, his old home directory. Once upon a time, I would boot from a live CD, reorganize the directories, and edit the fstabs. IIRC fstabs now get rewritten at boot time. Mere hand editing won't do the trick. What will do the trick? Also, is there a way to use labels instead of those awful UUIDs? I concede their usefullness if one has a lot of disks or a lot of turnover. I have four disks. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Optimist: The glass is half full. Engineer: The glass is twice as big as it needs to be."

CF and Swapless Fedora
by Marco Devillers 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi all, I own a Macbook Air and have been running FC9 for a while on that, it is my development machine. The HD committed suicide. Now, I think I'll opt to replace the HD with a CF in SATA mounted drive. Two questions: 1. How big should the CF be? 2. How can I change Fedora such that it will use part of the ram memory for swap? All responses appreciated, thanks.

Going from ODF to MSOffice
by Paul F. Johnson 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi, The powers that be want me off my nice clean and completely functional OS onto that pile of ik from MS and part of that is getting my stuff from ODF to Office (not sure if it's 2007 or 2003). I know that I can export as MS Office, or do a bulk import of MS Office to ODF via OOo, but can't do a bulk ODF to MS Office convert. Is there a way to do this? Don't mind if it need another package. Please don't say OOo is available for Win32 - I know it is, but the powers that want me on Office :-(. Anyone who says Office2007 SP2 can import ODF, please don't. It can't correct. It makes a mess of it! TTFN Paul -- It's only me, only me and no-one else.
