No more Fedora 13 on Toshiba laptop!
by Anne Wilson 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

Without any warning or obvious reason, Fedora has ceased to function. I cannot get any graphical login. kdm.log has huge numbers of lines like intel_bufmgr_gem.c:1043:Error mapping buffer 40639 (pixmap): Cannot allocate memory intel_bufmgr_gem.c:962:Error mapping buffer 40968 (surface_state)): Cannot allocate memory. messages contains the line "kdm: :0[2287]: Fatal X server IO error: interrupted system call. I checked that the last kernel is also affected, and tried xfce, which has the same result as a kde session. I did install some packages a couple of days earlier, but I've been away from the internet for several days, so there was nothing newly installed when this happened. Googling didn't show me anything helpful. Any ideas? I'll tinker with the system rescue from the DVD this afternoon - of course I didn't have it with me when all this happened.

Fedora 14α not compositing
by Petrus de Calguarium 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

I installed F14α to a spare partition using the KDE live CD. All went well, but I am unable to enable Desktop Effects. I have tried setting setting functionality checks both on and off, to no avail. A message stating: "Desktop effects are not available on this system due to the following technical issues:" always appears on the effects configuration page in systemsettings, but no reason is given. When I try to resume compositing, either with the button or with shift-alt-f12, a notification message states that another application has disabled desktop effects, but there never is mention of which application, nor why. I should also mention that the "All Effects" page listing of available effects is completely blank. I have exactly the same setup in f13 and all works just fine, but the same programs installed in f14α don't work.

No 'thunderstorm-icon' in kde-plasma-yawp?
by Martin Kho 22 Aug '10

22 Aug '10

Hi, When thunderstorm is upcoming, in fc13 yawp shows a nice icon, but in rawhide (fc15) this icon is not visible (absent?). In both fc13 and rawhide yawn version 0.3.4 (from fedora repo's) is installed. Did anyone else have seen this? Martin Kho

Hi, on F12 & KDE I have the "logout menu" action configured for the powerbutton. Where can I configure that menu? I would like to add "suspend to RAM" option to it. Thanks Richard

4.5sc released, now what?
by Neal Becker 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

What is the plan going foward? Will 4.5 update be available for f13? Anything ready for beta testing (i.e., probably stable enough to try on a machine I actually care about)?

Call for testers: choqok
by Sven Lankes 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

The current release of the choqok microblogging client that is in fedora doesn't support oauth authentication which is going to become mandatory for twitter access on monday. I have prepared packages that update choqok to a svn snapshot but those aren't very well tested at the moment. Before pushing these to updates-testing I'd appreciate feedback on the new build. If you're running kde-unstable then just update / yum install choqok and you'll get choqok-0.9.85-0.1.1162196svn - which is the snapshot. If you're not running kde-unstable then koji builds are available: F14: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=189965 F13: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=189966 F12: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=189967 Using the above builds you'll also need to install the new dependencies qoauth, qjson and webkitpart. Downloading the choqok and choqok-libs rpms and then doing a "yum localinstall --nogpgcheck choqok*.rpm" is proabably the easiest way to get this installed. So if you're a choqok user please test this if possible - timely feedback at least gives us a slight chance to have something in updates-testing when twitter disables the old way of accessing it on monday. -- sven === jabber/xmpp: sven(a)lankes.net

KMail/KAddressBook and mailing lists
by Timothy Murphy 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

What is the current position with mailing lists in KMail? I'm running KMail-4.4.5 under Fedora-13, In KMail, Folder/Mailing List Management is greyed out, but Message/New Message to Mailing-List is alive. So how is one meant to create a Mailing-List to send a message to? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
