Fedora 18 rc.local

After installing of new fedora 18 version at work, I was looking unsuccessfully for rc.local. TO modify some typical work routines.

From Fedora documentation

3.2.4. rc.local no longer packaged

    The /etc/rc.d/rc.local local customization script is no longer included by default. Administrators who need this functionality merely have to create this file, make it executable, and it will run on boot.

2
touch /etc/rc.d/rc.local
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local

touch /etc/rc.d/rc.local chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Set TimeZone in Fedora

I forgot to set the correct time zone as I installed my new Fedora 18 system.
So this can be also done after the completed installation:

1
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime

The localtime symlink will show to the proper timezone file.

Fedora update-grub

After some days of my vacation, my Fedora workstation was not able to boot. I stuck in the grub rescue shell, something was wrong with my MBR-recoord. There was a wrong UUID.

As I tried to update grub (command update-grub) – I stuck again – command not found! This is a Debian/Ubuntu specific command and is not available here.

This is a update-grub in Fedora way:

1
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

And finally the MBR installation:

1
grub2-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sda

grub2-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sda

I started to install update (yum update) on my fedora system and by mistake abort the operation with CTRL+C, I tried to start the update process again (yum update) but I get only this:

Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 – Not Found

yum clean all

yum clean all

was the solution for this problem
