linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – recently my windows XP pro crashed and so i reformatted wth fedora. when on windows i had some movies that played fine, like .aac or .mkv with no lag or bad pic. so now on fedora, with the same hardware ill use VLC or K media and its terrible. voices are off, grainy, stops a lot. i installed easylife to get the necessary plugins but still looks like garbage. so i was told to try and open my DMA to get a better experience. is this accurate? and how? 1 hard drive or all??? (HowTos)

Stories similar to DMA open or closed for better media?

I'm looking for a way to permanently mount any media placed in the super drive (data cd / audio cd / data dvd / video dvd).

I am using a PowerMac G5 running Fedora 12. No media mounts automatically.

When i restart to fedora, the media left in the super drive does not mount.

Media in the super drive will boot (live cd) at open firmware option 'o'.

Fedora 17 boot problems 45 weeks 5 days ago

I'm trying to dual-boot Fedora 17 and Windows XP. I installed Fedora from the live-cd with no problem onto a second hard drive, and put GRUB2 on the first drive so it's the boot loader.

When I try to boot Fedora I get a "Cannot open file font True" message and it stops booting. I looked around and found that the error should only delay the booting, and found how to fix it.

hi guys, first sorry for my english

I'm a newbie about Linux, i've just installed fedora 18.

Hello all, looks like ran into my first problem that I couldn't solve myself.

Hi everyone!

First off, I am a returning Fedora user. The last time I used it was Fedora Core 7. I recently tried out Ubuntu, and found it a bit buggy and unstable. So I decided to return to Fedora.

I presently run Windows 7, which sucks up the entire hard drive, except for a 25GB hidden ASUS recovery partition (for recovering the OEM Windows).

Hi guys, i have at the moment a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04 each one in separate hard drives, when i installed Ubuntu it taked care of the dual boot system letting me choose wich OS to run when turned on.
