When I did the latest Fedora install, it created a home directory for me called “randsimberg.” I always name my directory “simberg,” so I did a ‘mv randsimberg simberg’. Now I can’t launch a terminal, because the bash script is looking for the “randsimberg” directory.

Fun.

I’m trying to install on a new machine with Windows, and the LiveCD boots, but it doesn’t seem to see the keyboard or mouse. I can boot from Windows and another Linux drive, but when I boot from the LiveCD to do an installation, it just ignores me. Any ideas?

[Saturday-morning update]

OK, buy jiggering with the BIOS and UEFI settings, I managed to get it to boot. It says it installed Fedora on the drive that I shrunk the Windows partition. But when I reboot it without the USB key, I don’t get grub; it just boots into Windows. Now what?

[Update a while later]

OK, I don’t know why the BIOS wasn’t seeing it, or why I couldn’t add it, but Windows was seeing it. I forced Windows to load it on boot by editing the boot manager, so it seems to be working now.

[Update a while later]

OK, new problem. Grub is coming up now that I played around in Windows, but it’s making Fedora the default, which is a problem because I’m the only one who will be using it, and only a few times a year. I’ve read through all the instruction about changing it in Fedora, but they don’t show the Windows bootloader, and when I look at it in Windows, I don’t see anything except Windows, so I can’t change the order there, either.

[Update a few minutes later]

Success! I used this program to reconfigure grub, and although Linux is still at the top of the order, Windows now has an asterisk, and is the new default.
