Hi, I've made the matter of my computer, I used to let it to my friend but he named my "user" folder as the root permision, now I can't log in, I can't restore the settings by triyng with the live cd; well, what can I do to restore it to my control and be capable of logging in? Or how can I take out of there my files? I'm using the last fedora 16 with gnome 3.2... it's imposible to open nautilus as root to restore the settings of my folder(normal and from the live cd)

Thanks by the answers, it's a bit urgent

Hi, I'm using Fedora 17, when I installed I forgot to encrypt the "/" and the "/home" partition. I usually travel so it's important to me to have those partitions encrypted

How can I encrypt them? Do I have to re-install? Is there an app which would make it easier?

Thanks

Ok, I'll try based on an extension

I know the CSS 'blur effect' can be applied when using it on a web page, but, How can this be used into a Gnome-Shell theme?

Is there a way to call libraries from cairo or to call an external css file in order to achieve the blur effect? This way we could have a 'KDE look like' transparent blurry backgrounds theme for all pop ups

I've got a video in matroska (mkv) format. The video is in 1080p quality but my screen is limited to a 1366px when I need 1920px

Is there any application (I don't care if it's on terminal or in graphical format) that can read the .mkv file to get frames from it in the real quality (1920px)?

When I lock Gnome-Shell on Fedora 18, everything goes fine, until I have to unlock it

I give the password, and then the 'User - password' box disappear, but it never shows me the desktop screen, it only keep showing that 'dusty gray background'. The only way I can get it to work is rebooting by pressing 'ctrl+alt+f2' and pressing the shutdown button

Ohh, and I have to press the shut down button because when I try to log in into 'text mode', Fedora just freeze

¿Any way to solve this two problems?

How do you try to install it, by opening the RPM from nautilus? Try to install the package from the terminal as sudo: 'yum -y install thepackagedirection&name'

If you always install the driver that's mean you're not use it DKMS type driver or akmod type package. For that reason you will always have to re-install package every kernel version. I suggest find the driver as a source. But before do that tricky way. I suggest you should check here ;

Fedora forum brodcom driver article link

Yes It's Fedora 16 in the end but basic still same.

And one more link for whole wifi driver list you can find your driver in here.

Good Luck

Thanks, now it works fine. All I've got to do was installing the package 'akmod-wl.x86_64' to have all the packages which you comment. I've only got one more question: ¿Will I be able of updating kernel without having to repeat this process?

The package 'Common files for Broadcom 802.11 STA driver' was unistalled, then the Broadcom RPM could be installed, 'modprobe wl' reports the same message 'FATAL : Module wl not found'. I updated and rebooted without changes... However, ¿Why does Broadcom is so problematic on Linux? ¿Licence?

In the first days the broadcom driver worked really fine, until I had to update kernel from 3.6 (I guess, don't really know, grub never showed up) to kernel 3.7.2.

When I updated I did what I allways do when updating, to reinstall the broadcom driver 'sudo yum install kmod-wl broadcom-wl'

But now it doesn't work any more, I've already reinstalled 3 times de broadcom driver, but wifi isn't enabled, and as grub doesn't show up fedora is booted inmediately to the last installed kernel, without letting me to choose the old kernel wich have's the working broadcom driver

¿How can I get broadcom driver to work?

I installed the plugin yesterday morning, it's of the first things I do. I also tried the 'yum-y update' without results. For moments returns to his speed 128-300 kb per second, but the problem persists.

From the terminal, a package installation has a speed between 1 and 3 kb per second, very slow and time consuming to install any package. Same situation with the application of gnome, takes half an hour to install a 5mb package.Im using fedora 18, 64 bit, installed just this morning, this afternoon it worked well, but now this happens ...

Moreover, I have banshee audio player, as a song finishes playing, immediately closes ...how do I solve this two problems?

HI

The command gives me this:

dmidecode2.11

SMBIOS 2.6 present

Handle 0x001b, DMI type 16, 15 bytes Physycal Memory Array Location: System Board Or Motherboard Use: System Memory Error Correction Type: None Maximum Capacity: 32GB Error Information Handle: Not Provided Number of Devices: 4

It's all I got, as long as it looks like, it's still on 32GB or RAM... so it's the same question: ¿Who do I trust, Linux or the computer specifications?

Please file a bug at http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/flightgear requesting the maintainer to update. If you can provide a patch for the spec file, it'll be quicker too :)

Hi

I've tryed a command, which I saw on internet to know how much RAM can be suported by my computer, I got this result, with this command:

sudo dmidecode | grep Maximum
    Maximum Error: Unknown
    Maximum Size: 64 kB
    Maximum Size: 256 kB
    Maximum Size: 3072 kB
    Maximum Capacity: 32 GB

I guess, that the number of MaximumCapacity:32GB is the RAM capacity (correct me if I'm wrong)... but the computer specifications say that the maximum suported RAM is about 8 GB

So... ¿Who do I trust? ¿Fedora or the computer specifications? or I got the wrong command... ¿is there a safety way of knowing the maximum amount of suported RAM?

My computer is a gateway NV47H, thanks

Hi all

I've readed a lot the guide for FlightGear, but it's just impossible to run it on Fedora 17, always I try to run it, it says ~execv :: No existe el fichero o el directorio~

It's already configured as the guide says, I don't know what to do, the only airplane that is possible to fly is ~Cessna~ and it's a bit boring to fly always the same airplane ones you know all the controls to fly it

Oh, let me ask it, When will FlightGear 2.8 arrive to Fc17? thanks

Any help is wellcome, thanks
