InstallAndDeploy - Free IPA
FreeIPA
The above link is mostly correct, but a few changes for Fedora 16 and above.
systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
chkconfig network on
systemctl start network.service
install-ipa-service
# IPA isn't enabled by default (yet)
systemctl enable ipa.service
systemctl restart sshd.service
systemctl start ipa.service
# Set up your local browser with the IPA cert.
firefox http://localhost
# Define this machine as a client to the new server.
ipa-client-install
ipa-ldap-updater --test
Problem: system-config-authentication doesn't work with IPA yet.
Solution: ipa-client-install (Thank you sgallagh)
Watch for this bug 731094 to be resolved as well.
On the root server, ipa-client-install is done as part of ipa-server-install.
Problem: IPA and Dirsrv not started.
/var/log/messages: startup - The default password storage scheme SSHA could not be read or was not found in the file /etc/dirsrv/slapd-PKI-IPA/dse.ldif. It is mandatory.
On a hard shutdown, the dse.ldif files were empty.
[root@montechristo ~]# locate dse.ldif
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-PKI-IPA/dse.ldif
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-PKI-IPA/dse.ldif.bak
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-PKI-IPA/dse.ldif.startOK

/etc/dirsrv/slapd-SOLENGTECH-BIZ-TM/dse.ldif.startOK
/usr/share/dirsrv/data/template-dse.ldif
Solution: Copy dse.ldif bak files, and restart services.
cp /etc/dirsrv/slapd-PKI-IPA/dse.ldif.bak /etc/dirsrv/slapd-PKI-IPA/dse.ldif
systemctl restart dirsrv@PKI-IPA.service
cp /etc/dirsrv/slapd-SOLENGTECH-BIZ-TM/dse.ldif.bak /etc/dirsrv/slapd-SOLENGTECH-BIZ-TM/dse.ldif
systemctl start dirsrv@SOLENGTECH-BIZ-TM.service
systemctl start ipa.service

HowTo: Change default OS in Grub2 Fedora
Grub2 - FedoraProject
I'm having trouble with kmod-nvidia keeping up with the kernels. So I need to change the default OS more than I'd like on Fedora 16...
Note, the Grub2 rules for Ubuntu are different than Fedora, and conflict.
Whenever you change the drives or OS you need to generate a new configuration file.
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.3-2.fc16.x86_64
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.2.3-2.fc16.x86_64.img
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.9-1.fc16.x86_64
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.1.9-1.fc16.x86_64.img
Found Windows NT/2000/XP (loader) on /dev/sdc1
done
To list the found OS's:
grep menuentry /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
menuentry 'Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.2.3-2.fc16.x86_64' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
menuentry 'Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.1.9-1.fc16.x86_64' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
menuentry "Windows NT/2000/XP (loader) (on /dev/sdc1)" --class windows --class os {
To check, by name, the saved entry:
grub2-editenv list
saved_entry=Fedora Linux, with Linux 3.1.9-1.fc16.x86_64
If you have not changed disk drives or partitions, start here
To boot the previous OS (i.e. Linux 3.1.9-1):

HowTo: Install GNOME 3 Shell Extensions
Five must have Gnome shell extensions for Fedora 15 « Justin Stories
Earlier, I've blogged on the difficult to install weather extension (Rick Foos HowTo Blog: Gnome Shell Weather Extension ~ Web ...).
So how do you install GNOME 3 Shell Extensions?
First, Remember - Must Reset Desktop when Changing Shell Extensions
Alt-[F2], r
...Ubuntu is mostly the same with apt-get instead of yum...After you install the extensions, exactly the same...
# Install GUI to manage shell extensions.
yum -y install gnome-tweak-tool
# What are the available shell extensions?
yum list gnome-shell-extension-*
A list follows with some possibilities...
yum install gnome-shell-extension-*
# Enable/Disable Shell Extensions from a gui.
gnome-tweak-tool
While many of them may not do what you expect, some are good.
Some extensions will need settings to be customized.
# Find where the settings for a shell extension are located.
# NOTE: Extensions may or may not have 'extension' in their schema name.
gsettings list-schemas
# Find the current settings, for an extension.
# if you have a keyword to grep, you can use that or copy one of the schemas from the list.
gsettings list-recursively $(gsettings list-schemas | grep weather)
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather city ''
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather position-in-panel 'center'
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-comment-in-panel true
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-text-in-panel true
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather translate-condition true
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather unit 'fahrenheit'
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather use-symbolic-icons false
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid 'USTX0058'
# Find out what the valid settings are...
# Most useful for enums, otherwise just reports the data type and none exactly say what will happen...
gsettings range org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather unit
enum
'celsius'
'fahrenheit'
# Change a setting
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather unit 'fahrenheit'
Now you are an unintended expert in GNOME 3 shell extensions...This is a step backward, there was a GUI to add shell extensions in GNOME 2...I had no intention of becoming a shell extension expert...So I'm an unintended expert...
