FC11 Install Requires Network Connectivity?
by Tod Thomas
I'm in the middle of rebuilding two new machines, neither of them are
attached to the network. After following the prompts (3-4 screens) I
get "Some of your software repositories require networking but there was
an error enabling the network on your system." and no other option but
to exit the installation.
AM I reading this right? I can't do a standalone install anymore w/o
network connectivity? I'm sure I didn't download the Live CD but just
to make sure I'm downloading the DVD ISO again and reburning. Is there
a way to get around this? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks - Tod

Blacklisting Nouveau
by Jim
FC12-x86_64/KDE
How do you Blacklist nouveau ?
I have installed kmod-nvidia because nouveau is causing the mouse to
disappear
after bringing computer out of a power down after about a half an hour.
It is nouveau that is causing mouse to disappear, i have installed
nvidia before and it corrected the disappearing mouse problem.
But kmod-nvidia is trying to start at boot up but nouveau keeps loading
module.
I have in /etc/modprobe.d a "blacklist nouveau" but it's not preventing
the nouveau module from loading.
What else can I do to preventing it from loading?

mahjongg gone missing?
by James Bridge
A trivial point perhaps, but mahjongg (one of the gnome-games package)
has disappeared off the games menu. The packages were updated on 8th Jan
and recently I discovered mahjongg doesn't work anymore. I tried to run
it from the console and got a string of messages about missing tiles and
then a segmentation fault - so something is happening.
Anyone else get this behaviour? Or know what has happened?

NVIDIA: no sound to TV via HDMI
by Marcel Rieux
Since the NVIDIA forums are just a lost of time, I'll first ask the
question here.
I have an NVIDIA 9400GT card and a Sony LCD TV linked with an HDMI cable.
First problem I found: the S/PDIF cable -- which is needed only with
NVIDIA cards -- wasn't installed. The plug had a molding problem and
one of the 4 holes was blocked. (The hole was just empty: no wire
going to it.) I opened it with a pin, installed it with the arrow
facing the closest part of the motherboard, reversed it, and, of
course, sound doesn't come out of the TV. It's an Nvidia product!
Anybody got this working?

Thanks, Cameron, it was an NTFS partition. It is now an ext3 &
permissions etc are "as expected"!

JFS native kernel support.
by Vitaliy T
Greetings all,
I was surprised by the performance JFS in Ubuntu 10.04 alpha on my
laptop. As I understand it everything is fine with the license and JFS
also works with SELinux. Why drop support for JFS from the kernel and
made it as a module? I do not want to argue about that JFS is better
or worse ext4/xfs/etc, I just want to know why when installing Fedora
12, I can not format the partition as JFS?
Thank you!

F12 nouveau problem?
by Joachim Backes
Dear community,
having a *little* problem with nouveau and NVIDIA FX5200 (princeton
display, 1280x1024): Under F12, it works OK - but when rebooting to
WinXP, the screen is not centered, but shifted a little bit to the left
(a small black vertical bar remains rightside). After auto tuning the
display in WinXP, and after rebooting to F12, there is the inverse
effect (small black vertical bar on the left side).
By running my screen with kmod-nvidia-173xx from rpmfusion, I get rid
from these problems.
Any hints?
Kind regards

help with... F9
by Jake Peavy
Hi yall,
All I'm trying to do is get tc running on my Fedora 9 box and it's
segfaulting. In order to fix that I think I need a kernel update, but I'm
stuck.
...I know I should upgrade to F12 (or whatever) but I don't have time...
Can someone point me in the right direction for updating my kernel? My
searches show that at least 2.6.27 was released for F9, but my yum isn't
finding it - it just shows 2.6.25 which I'm already on. I tried enabling
fedora-rawhide but it repeatedly failed the checksum (no matter which mirror
it got it from)
Some output below, any help would be appreciated.
