tomboy, thereby mono shown installed on main website
by lee johnson 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

hi there.. I am just wondering why at the mainwebsite you show a picture of fedora running with tomboy, clearly indicating that mono is in default install, yet at download page you have livecd, which at least up until version9 did NOT include mono or any of its apps..has that changed and if not, why does the dvd installer ship mono assuming the screenshot on main page is of the dvd installer ? I know in livecd 9 at least mono was gone and since debian does not ship mono out of the box either,I assumed that was why you weren't either, at least in livecd. thx lee

A few missing items on your FAQ about using Yum to jump from FC6 to FC8
by Matt Hillier 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

You may have mentioned these someplace in the FAQ for using Yum to upgrade from FC6 to FC8, but I haven't found them after a few times through your WIKI. I had to do the following in addition to the instructions posted on the site: Things to do before you Yum upgrade from FC6 to FC8: 1. Turn off 'yum-updatesd' . 2. Disable selinux by setting /etc/selinux/config to 'disabled' and then reboot system. 3. Locate a FC7 install disk for the next step after you upgrade. Things to do after you Yum upgrade from FC6 to FC8: 1. Boot the system using the FC7 install disk and select the 'rescue' option. 2. Chroot /mnt/sysimage and fix the /boot/grub/device.map file for the device name change (ie. hda -> sda). 3. Make sure your disk labels are valid in /etc/fstab using 'e2label' on each /dev/sdX device and correct as required in the fstab by setting an absolute path ( ie. for swap ) or changing the disk label. 4. Make the new initrd file for your new kernel using the newly corrected path/device information with 'mkinitrd /boot/initrd-<kernelver>.img <kernelver>' 5. Exit from the 'chroot''d environment and the rescue live session, while ejecting the CD/DVD FC7 image from the optical drive. 6. Boot your upgraded system. Thanks for your time and the work on the WIKI! Please disregard this message if I've missed the part about performing these other steps. Matt.

Your F10 download page at http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora seems exceptionally well thought out to provide everything that might be needed with minimal complexity and minimal useless trappings. Nice job! Regards, ..jim

Wrong help advice on fedoraproject.org website
by Fabio d'Alessi 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Dear Webmaster, this mail refers to the webpage http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help - where, in the first paragraph, you cite IRC: #fedora on irc.freenode.org as a typical place where to find support - and you put it in the subchapter as place where to get realtime support. I would like you to reconsider such a choice and either remove or declass IRC as a source for help - this is why: I am a long-time Fedora user, who kept using Fedora since the fork from Redhat Linux back many years ago. Recently, with the switch to Fedora 9, I have started experiencing random kernel lockups. This is continuing in Fedora 10. I have tried to look into bugzilla and forums to find either a solution to my problem or similar issues, with no luck. This evening I have gone into your website and following the /en/ge-help advice I joined the #fedora IRC channel. To my questions about this lockup, the answers I got have been "switch to windows". Other users did nothing else and not a single answer has been sent to be - the little I have received was useless and not even close to polite. I know the Fedora community is absolutely not responsible for what happens on the IRC channels - but as a webmaster *you* are responsible for the contents of the fedora websites and suggesting the IRC as a good source of realtime support. It's not. Directing end users to such places where you can be happily ignored or worse offended is, I think, the absolute opposite of what the Fedora community should try to do and for sure can have VERY detrimental effects - like this email. If I were a new linux user this would be enough to return (and remain) to Windows. As a long-time linux user this is enough for me to switch to a different distribution. Best regards, Fabio d'Alessi

Fedora wiki login issues
by Tim Abbott 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hello, I just registered for an account (username: tabbott) with the Fedora Account System, but the Fedora Wiki refuses to let me login, giving "Login error: Incorrect password entered. Please try again.". I am quite confident that I am providing the same password to the Fedora Wiki and the Fedora Account System (with which I have tested logging out and in again); is there some sort of delay for information to propagate to the Fedora Wiki? -Tim Abbott
