Are you getting a lot of error messages like rpc.idmapd[pid]: nss_getpwnam: name 'u...@nisdomain' does not map into domain 'dnsdomain' in /var/log/messages?

FC13 now defaults to NFSv4 which might (or might not) be related to the problem you are seeing. You could try to mount the directory with the option -o nfsvers=3 and look to see if that makes any difference. Of course it is also worth checking that the client really does have permission to mount that directory.

The are however 3.2 RPMs for the Fedora 13 development version which should appear in an alpha version within the next couple of weeks, so you could try packages from that, or just upgrade your whole OS to it. Note that mixing RPMs from different Fedora versions can cause problems so I would recommend a fair amount of expertise in resolving package conflicts (and in the worst case scenario recovering a non-functional or partially functional system and/or good backups).

If you want to update everything to fedora 13 using yum (though of course the recommended way is to boot off a f13 iso image) then it should be enough to download and install (by hand) the fedora-release package from the f13 tree, and then run yum.

That is probably relative safe to do (provided you make sure you keep a Fedora 12 kernel installed to go back to just in case) because kernels have few dependencies. Possible difficulties include too-old kernel install tools like dracut, and incompatible selinux or X versions. If all you want is 2.6.32 then you can get that from the updates-testing repository of Fedora 12 anyway. (The plan seems to be for F12 to go to 2.6.32 eventually, though presumably there have been technical and/or QA issues stopping in happening so far).

The places to look are the Fedora package git trees or the koji package site. In the former you will see an update in the F15 tree to 5.0 commited 5 hours ago.

You can resize a physical volume of a volume group with the pvresize command, though this only resizes the contents and you will need to use something like fdisk or parted to resize the partition to match. However this will free up space at the end of the physical volume partition, and to make the boot partition bigger you probably want to move the start which is rather more tricky.

You might possibly have problems with things like X if the drivers depend too closely on the kernel version, so it is always worth making sure you can resort to a known good kernel if necessary, but I expect it will just work.

It should be theoretically possible to convert an LVM partition to one normal partition in some cases. Have a look at /etc/lvm/backup/#lvmname# which is a backup of the LVM structure. If the segment count for the required partition is 1 (which is likely unless you have been doing anything advanced) then your partition will be in one piece and if you can work out where it starts and stops and can repartition the disk to match then you can convert it to a real partition. For example if the value of pe_start in the above file is 384 then you may be able to mount the file system (read only) directly, eg. via mount -o ro,loop,offset=$((384*512)) /dev/physical_partition /mount/point However, I suspect that you may find it rather more complicated to carry this all out, and definitely worth taking a backup of anything you don't want to lose first.

Actually, it should be possible to use deltarpm to create a new kernel RPM from the previous kernel if it is installed, and indeed it worked in previous Fedora versions. I think the issue is the initramfs file in /boot that is fooling deltarpm into thinking that the kernel files have been modified so deltarpm wouldn't work. Kernels from earlier Fedora versions used initrd files, which are generated as part of the install, and I imagine that deltarpm knew it could ignore them (perhaps as a result of the packaging in the kernel RPM.

No change. You can try running run pygrub directly to narrow down where the problem is, eg. pygrub --output-directory=/var/lib/xen /path/to/your/vm If this works you should get a menu and it should download the kernel and initrd of the option you select to /var/lib/xen .

As far as I am aware you can't use a Fedora kernel on a Raspberry Pi 2, as it needs some modifications that the Fedora Kernel doesn't have (unless it has changed recently). One thing to check is that you have the NetworkManager-wifi package, probably the wpa_supplicant package as well as I don't think they are in the minimal image.

If the computer has LVM partions it is probably worth checking that the
docker-pool thin pool has been deleted, as docker can use this if there is
space in LVM, and I don't know if uninstalling docker is enough to remove
it.

Re: fedora 21 and xen
On Fri, 12 Dec 2014, Mike Wright wrote: Hi all, 2 part question. Just installed f21. I like the way the distro has a common base and "flavors" that build on that. Nice approach. yum also seems to be *much* faster. 1) Does anybody know where the standalone xen packages are? I am not aware of xen being in any flavor by default but you can install it with yum or your preferred package manager. 2) Is there a virtualization group or is that what the "cloud" flavor is? Cloud is a fairly minimal image for use in a cloud. You probably what something else if you want to host virtual machines.

Re: fedora 17 hates me
On Sun, 10 Jun 2012, Michael Hennebry wrote: The only thing that seems to have gone right is the install. I managed to do an install without media, even though at the time I didn't have grub2 and the instructions assumed that one did. I went by the F14 instructions. The first thing I noticed is that grub.cfg is 477 lines long. There is a header that is 75 lines long. I think the part associated with my new Fedora 17 is 148 lines long. The installer picked up on several other OS's. The Windoze actually boots and runs. My old Fedora 14 does not. It seems to boot. It fills in the ice cream cone with the finfinity symbol. The it stops. No mouse or any offer to let my log in. The new install could have messed up the boot options for Fedora 14. I suggest you check they are still reasonable and compare them with previous grub configuration files if you still have them. They could have the wrong options or could be trying to boot against the wrong partition.

Re: Leap Second
On Mon, 2 Jul 2012, Michael Cronenworth wrote: Hi all, I recommend that anyone not familiar with the term "leap second" check out all of their Linux systems. Most likely a piece of software is running in an infinite loop due to the added second on July 1st. Your system may also appear to be running normally but double-check your system load to make sure it is less than 1.00. I had several affected systems so Fedora was not ready (and I didn't bother to ready my systems). If you have high system load there are two solutions: 1. Reboot, or... 2. Manually set the date with "date". Ex: "date 07021025" for July 2nd, 10:25 AM. Running date `date +%m%d%H%M.%S` should reset the date without changing the time too much. I had trouble on RHEL6 servers, which were mostly running java, with sluggish reponse and high cpu loads. I ended up rebooting them to make sure I cleared the problem.

That is a rather useless generic error message (from gnome-shell I think) which doesn't give you a clue as to what actually went wrong, so the bug report you found could be a for completely different problem. Try logging in at a text console (which you can get to by pressing ctrl-alt-Function key, eg. ctrl-alt-F3) and checking logs such as /var/log/gdm or /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if they give some clue as to what the problem actually is.

Re: f18 moodle setup

You just need to tell the config.php file how to find your database - see the /usr/share/doc/moodle-2.3.6/README-rpm file. However, there is a problem with the current Fedora and EPEL moodle packages because they remove some php QuickForm files that the moodle source ships with in favour of Fedora's packaged version. Unfortunately moodle is expecting a couple of extra files that aren't in the Fedora version because they are now obsolete.

I can't give a definite answer because I had this problem on a box but it has stopped happening (it is running Windows Insider on the slow ring so it gets updated a fair amount) and I am not sure if it was something I did or just coincidence.
