Agreed, though I'd argue the "foreign" part is minimal or negligble.  kde 
(with oxygen-gtk style) works hard to provide good integration for gtk 
applications.

please do share (either your workaround here), or (preferred) a bug report, 
as already suggested by others.

This really should all "just work".  (gnome-kerying applications generally 
do "just work" on kde in my experience, anything else is a bug... somewhere)

Re: FC18 Installation: No X comes

2013-05-19T17:51:00

Hello Harald,



Thank you for your kind help.




FC18 has a completly rewritten grub and behaves strange way.

Sometimes the USB stik boots, other time the same one doesn't. 

I haven't got any option in anaconda what to choose. When I finally

got FC18 installed only multiuser target came as there was de.mo 

missing. I had to copy it from other place, install "Basic X Window 

System" and "GNOME Desktop" and then I could run startx. ;)




When I link the GUI as a default target, the one-color screen comes

with can be switched for 4 working spaces. Right click gives some

functions, some of them works, others don't. Probably also some

installations are needed. Hopefully the FC19 will be more mature. ;)




Thank you so much !

jh

If only.  I recently spent about a day figuring out why evolution
wouldn't send emails on a KDE desktop.  The reason is a disagreement
between evolution, gnome-keyring, and the KDE infrastructure.  I have a
workaround but no fix.

only if you are doing "grub2-install /dev/sda; grub2-install /dev/sdb" or whatever are
your drives because if not and the one disk with the bootloader dies you have not
a bootable system which perverts the goal of a raid-system

that's why you should always test if your setups are working like expected
in case of RAID1 /boot by remove one disk, look if it boots, resync raid
after connect the removed disk and then the same for the other one

in case of RAID10 setups i have on all 4 disks a /boot RAID1 and on every disk is grub
installed and this makes sure that it does not matter which disk dies which is hardly
important in case of remote systems

and if you refresh GRUB at any time with grub2-install also do not forget the other disks

most likely you are missing the display-manager

on KDE systems (i do not use anything else)

what i do not understand is why you do a MINIMAL install instead

I use this command to reattach partition to array:

While Having a coffee,
The cat decided to dissemble 
a soft raid by playing with the sata cable.

Having replaced the cable,
still coming up as one disk short.

Looked at:

mdadm --add /dev/md3 /dev/sdb1
Is this correct (check twice, run once)

for some reason the F18 Live CD calls the raid

Aaaa, that happened to me. I was surprised why it didn't work...

Last time I installed from USB flash FC13 in my cluster and it

was w/o any problems. But not so with FC18.. :(




Thank you so much. :)

That was one attempt which I have done. It had only

FC17 in the list, so I chose a distribution downloaded 

in my box, but it didn't work (didn't boot from the flash).




That's why I tried another way and used dd. It worked

but providing only a limited content (e.g. no X Window

environment included - I had to install it by yum)...

Work great for me.

Or put USB into your PC/Notebook, boot from DVD and install on USB key.

If you copy the iso image you do not permanently install software or

I don't know about ATI, as I've never used it.  However, Fedora will 
start out using the nouveau driver for nVidia, which works fine as long 
as you don't need 3D.
