http://forums.fedoraforum.org – When trying to upgrade from F16 to F17 using preupgrade, the boot sequence to the F17 option is stopped with the error "The \usr merge script failed..." etc. on reboot. I've tried to follow the setps in the Bugzilla posting for this but don't show any symlinka back to /etc. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831242 "I have just experienced this on a server I am upgrading. I found a symlink in /usr/bin called 'java' pointing at /etc/alternatives/java. Deleting the symlink corrected the error and the upgrade is now proceeding."Where do I go from here. I can succe (HowTos)

DNS issues, new in Fedora 11 3 years 44 weeks ago

Hi all,

I'm having DNS issues with a fresh Fedora 11 install (worked fine in 10). ping works fine, resolves domains with no problems. However, all other programs (firefox, wget, thunderbird, yum, etc.) cannot resolve domains. Forcing the use of OpenDNS servers works fine, but getting the DNS through DHCP does not. This seems to be related to the bugs listed here:

Gwibber and libappindicator 2 years 44 weeks ago

I decided to give gwibber a go as a means to follow Twitter and Facebook status updates. There seems to be an issue though with Gwibber and the Gnome indicator panel in that notifications of new messages never show up. Looking into the issue it appears that Gwibber switched to solely using libappindicator for this which as far as I can tell is an Ubuntu only library.

secure method for netinstall? 20 weeks 2 days ago

The "Security Considerations" note at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp lead me to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877623 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=998 ...

Apparently, the Anaconda installer does not verify the integrity of packages it downloads from mirrors.

Am I understanding that the only secure method of installing Fedora is with the live CDs

Hello :)

I'd like to change keyboard shortcuts in gnome / fedora 12

[counterroot@dev-5c-v0 ~]$ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64 (mockbuild@x86-7.fedora.phx.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.4.2 20091027 (Red Hat 4.4.2-7) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Sat Nov 21 15:57:45 EST 2009

at all this never has been a problem @ fedora 7/8/9/10/11

Because of a bug, bug 902049 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=902049 the sound card Tascam US-122L doesn't work with the newer kernels. (The bug is also described here https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53241 and here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33499 ) I have compiled many kernels, but with the same result. The last kernel I tried was 3.9-RC2.

Hi, I found the suggested workaround mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=834494 works:Just add my user into group wheel.Since the fedora guys did something to "fix" this, is there anything we could do too?
