Fedora - Windows 8/8.1 dual boot
Has anyone successfully installed Fedora 18, 19 or 20 in dual boot with Windows 8/8.1 ? How does the installation process differ from setting up a Fedora/Windows 7 or XP dual boot ? Are there pitfalls one should know about ?-- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

(F19 x64) No gedit's menu's "Edit Preferences" entry.
(Fedora 19 x64) Hello everybody, No gedit's menu's "Edit Preferences" entry. Is it a bug or a deliberate omission ? Would it be however possible to configure gedit by some other means ?

When booting, F19 x64 Gnome often hangs as it reaches graphical interface.
When booting, F19 x64 Gnome often hangs as it reaches graphical interface (once the ‘f’ in a lemon shaped icon has shown up). This occurred for the first time about one week ago.

Re: When booting F19, and so on....
Hello Roger, Same symptoms, booting always fails the first time while all subsequent attempts are successful. What puzzles me, however, is that I experienced for the first time one week ago this kind of problem with F19 x64 Gnome and never with F15 or F17.

At some time a problem has to show up ! Wish we could at least boot without hanging and waiting for a logging prompt ! Cheers, Quicksort Hi Q My patience runs out after 5-10 seconds and I tap the reboot button on the pc and the problem goes away for a couple of starts. I have found that the problem occurs more frequently after I've been running Ubuntu on another hard drive or Fedora 16, then it will not warm boot past the Fedora balloon, I have to shut down and restart after 5 seconds. I'm thinking there's been a boot problem since Fedora 16 and it hasn't yet been discovered or resolved.

Fedora 15 x64 stunning performance (vs Win7).
Hardware platform: Dell Studio XPS, Core i7 950, 8Mb L3 Cache. Operating systems: Fedora 15 x64 / Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Hi everybody, I have developed a sorting/searching library written in assembly language. As long as one stays in the L1 Cache (in place physical sorts) speeds are identical, but when the proportion of L1 cache misses is hign (sorts by reference which return an ordering vector as APL sorts do) Fedora dramatically outperforms Win7. This performance gap is stunning but consistent and I am not overdoing it. Something weird occurs when one leaves the L1 cache. As one remains in the L3 cache (my Core i7 950 has a 8Mb cache) the performance penalty is about 33%, with mixed L3 cache/main memory accesses it grows to 50%/60% ! I wish some x64 Linux kernel developer could enlighten me. The assembly code is exactly the same in both cases(except or course for calls to APIs being replaced with Linux system calls), JWASM assembler being used. No disk swapping, large/huge pages, or virtual machine involved and my test program is a plain application run from the command line. Any thoughts?

Preupgrade failure F15->F17, cannot find an Adobe related file on any mirror.

Re: Preupgrade failure F15->F17, cannot find an Adobe related file on any mirror.
Thank you, Sam, but how should I proceed ? Also, if I disable Adobe' s Yum repository can I re-enable it later (how ?) so as to get flashplayer updates. Thanks.

No device (wireless router) at mac address.
Platform: F17 x64 Dell Studio XPS Dell Wireless 1505 draft 802.11n WLAN mini-card Router: Livebox (Sagem) Hello, No problem to set my wireless LAN up under Windows7 x64. I only have to input the SSID, the security mode and the WEP key. Unfortunately Fedora' s network configuration tool system-config-network does not find any device at the router' s mac address I have input (when I click "probe"), although this router is connected to the ethernet port and handles the internet connection which works fine. What' s wrong ? Your insights would be most appreciated.

Evolution loses its data.
Plaform: Fedora 17 x64 Evolution loses its data and launches the Setup Assistant. Upon reboot everything is OK. I don't like Windows because of its poor performances but I am getting tired of Linux utilities bugs. Too much is too much.
