===== Making netinst iso bootable. =====
**Don't need: just dd the netinst. At least work for fed18**
===== Just in case =====
livecd-iso-to-disk.sh is a Bash shell script from livecd-tools, http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/livecd/tree/tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
Note: There are some variations of the script for different versions of Fedora (see livecd-tools summary).

That is most likely the case: running isohybrid actually did it, after it the image boots and runs the installer normally. I think the mantainers should do the same and update the image(s). Thanks for your help!

===== Troubleshooting =====
==== Poweroff because of heating? ====
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140074
install lm_sensors, run sensors-detect
sudo sensors-detect
It looks for sensor and output the following:
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
Do you want to overwrite /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): no
To load everything that is needed, add this to one of the system
initialization scripts (e.g. /etc/rc.d/rc.local):
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
modprobe coretemp
/usr/bin/sensors -s
#----cut here----
You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything
is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until the needed
modules are loaded.
**Run the command and temperature drop from 80 to 50!!!**

Troubleshooting
If you have problems with KERN_DIR parameter or your kernel directory is not automatically detected then set KERN_DIR environment variable manually, using following method:
Shell
## Current running kernel on Fedora ##
KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`
## Current running kernel on CentOS and Red Hat (RHEL) ##
KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`-`uname -m`

===== Package manager =====
==== Repositories ====
Enabling the repository permanently
The following command will enable the updates testing repository permanently:
yum-config-manager --enable updates-testing
Use yum repolist to verify. If you wish to disable it again, run the following command:
yum-config-manager --disable updates-testing
yum distro-sync
yum distro-sync will sync the packages to the versions available in the repository and might be useful to run after you disable the testing repository to downgrade packages back to the stable versions.
Note that the yum-config-manager command is available as part of the Package-x-generic-16.pngyum-utils package and should be installed by default.
Enabling the repository temporarily
If you'd rather not enable the updates-testing repository permanently but just use it on a case-by-case basis, you can do this with yum. The command:
yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing
will update the entire system using packages from the updates-testing repository, while the command:
yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing
will install or update only the package named from the updates-testing repository.
=== Install Rawhide (bleeding) ===
For Fedora developers there is an additional package that adds another .repo file with Fedora repositories, /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo, also known as rawhide.
su -c "yum install fedora-release-rawhide"
sudo yum --enablerepo=rawhide update meshlab
==== Test an Update ====
Look at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates on the left sidebar and click any of the "testing" links there. It will take you to the list of updates that need testing for that particular build.
Prepare a test image
Download the .iso for the image you are testing and start it up in a virtual machine. If you are testing for the release under development, use rawhide.
Enable the updates-testing repo
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing check-update
Verify the old behavior
Check for the current behavior of the package you are testing. (If there is a test case listed, follow it.) You will be looking for a difference in this behavior after you install the update, to see whether it adds the functionality or fixes the bug it claims to fix.
Install the update
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update

Thanks! I manually edited /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
to remove the nomodeset options, and that fixed the problem.
I then removed it from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub,
so hopefully it won't re-appear.
That leaves the question is where did this come from in the first place?
I did a clean install of Fedora 18. However, I did have a few older
partitions on the disk, and perhaps the Fedora 18 installer used
data from those other partitions to initialize /etc/default/grub.
Sees strange, but that is all I can think of. Unless there is a
bug in the Fedora 18 installer ...

Use /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables for your static firewall rules.
Note: The package iptables and iptables-services do not provide firewall rules for use with the services. The services are available for compatibility and people that want to use their own firewall rules. You can install and use system-config-firewall to create rules with the services though. To be able to use system-config-firewall, you have to stop firewalld.
After creating rules for use with the services stop firewalld and start the iptables and ip6tables services:
systemctl stop firewalld.service
systemctl start iptables.service
systemctl start ip6tables.service

===== rsync =====
rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l root" --delete 130.149.232.136:/var/www/* /var/www/
## resume copy
rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l root" --progress --update 130.149.232.136:/var/www/* /var/www/
# omit symlinks
rsync -r -a --no-links -v -e "ssh -l root" --progress --update SRC/* DEST/var/www/
===== fstab =====
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fstab
* get blockid
blkid /dev/sda1 will get you the uuid and then add:
UUID=YOUR-UID /mountpoint ext4 defaults,auto,noatime,user,rw,exec 0 0
* Permission for ntfs, vfat: use umask.
* Perminssion for ext4:
Ext3 file systems have real ownership and permissions, with the default
owner being root:root, with the permisions shown above. Unlike FAT*
file systems which don't ownership at all and limited permissions. The
vfat filesytem has *mount* options to fake UNIX ownership and
permissions (and when mounting a vfat filesystem, the file system by
default inheirits the UID of the user running mount).
For an ext3 file system, you just change the actual permissions of the
root of the file system:
After mounting the disk do this (as root):
chmod go+w,+t /bigdisk
This will allow anyone to create files on the disk (Group and Other get
Write access). The +t prevents one user from deleting another user's
files.
===== turn off bluetooth =====
echo "disable" >/proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
One probably needs to replace 'ibm' by the type of his acpi (like 'asus' or 'toshiba') to make it work: just find a subdir of /proc/acpi that contains file named 'bluetooth'.

su -c 'yum -y install gnome-panel'
su -c 'gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new /usr/share/applications/'
Or, if you have unlocked the desktop, you can make a shortcut
su -c 'yum -y install gnome-panel'
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop
=== Fedora 20-21-22===
You can create a ".desktop" file in "~/.local/share/applications", then the specified "Icon" Should show up in the Gnome Shell Menu ( You may, or may not need to reload the shell: "alt-F2, r " )

==== Emails problems ====
=== Evolution can't send mails ===
solution 1: May be problem with keyring. Try sending in gnome-shell first so keyring is updated. Then swicht to safe-mode.
solution 2: Recreate keyring file in each new desktop environment (lxde, safe mode...).
solution 3:

yum install seahorse
==== Bugs & Problems ====
=== xfce keyring ===
Fedora 18. xfce seems to have problem with keyring https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/932177 . This makes evolution etc. can't correctly get the keys when in other desktops than gnome.
Solution
I would suggest the following workaround for now:
1. Open the Session settings:
Settings -> Preferences -> Settings Manager -> Session and Startup
2. Enable GNOME compatibility mode:
Go to Advanced, check "Launch GNOME services on startup"
3. Disable unwanted GNOME-only autostart files:
Execute the following one-liner on the shell:
for gnome_autostart in $(awk '/^OnlyShowIn=/ && /GNOME;/ && !/XFCE;/ { print
FILENAME }' /etc/xdg/autostart/*); do sed '$aHidden=true' ${gnome_autostart}
>${HOME}/.config/autostart/${gnome_autostart##*/}; done
I'll talk to upstream later and see if we can move gnome-keyring support out of GNOME compatibility mode.
