Fedora as a distro doesn't have nothing to do with such complains as they happen due a lack of proper driver implementation as some companies still refuses to support linux or because a software component is not working properly. In both cases Fedora doesn't directly develop the drivers or the components that doesn't work and you should get your complain to the upstream projects so they can fix it sometime or fill a bug report to Fedora so they can report upstream and apply patches as the come in. WH: Huh? proprietary stuff?? No idea what you are talking about unless you mean the hardware. > > If you feel that other modern distros works better where Fedora fails you should check them but we all use the same linux kernel and same X.org so lack of hardware support is a common pain. WH: I'm running RHEL which is more stable. But I like to do other work on Fedora and was hoping Fedora 10 was more stable. I realize there are a lot of different hardware platforms out there and it is difficult to support. I'm a bit surpprised because there are so many Lenova T6x around I thought that it would have been tested more and there more stable. TBW this seemed to get worse the last few weeks so I wonder if some of my updates made the issue much more frequent.

F10 on Lenovo T61 issue
by William Henry 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi, I've seen others have this problem and I've seen a BZ regarding it. Its the "mouse still moves but can't do anything with the keyboard or mouse input' problem. Requires a hardware reboot. I've given up on Fedora for a while until I see this fixed. I don't have time for multiple reboots a day and the risk of losing data. I've also seen issues with NetworkManager. I'm sadly disappointed with F10. Regards, William

Sound on laptop docking station
by William M. Quarles 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hey all, Does anybody out there on these three lists know how to get Fedora to reroute the sound from my laptop's speakers to the line out on the docking station to which the laptop is connected? I'm using a Dell Latitude C640 with a Dell C Dock II. The other outputs are software activated usually, but the signals still come from the laptop's integrated sound card (i.e. there is no actual sound hardware installed in the docking station). Thanks, William

OpenJDK issue
by Major Péter 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hi all, I have a Fedora 10 install on my computer and I would like to get rid of OpenJDK (because it's much slower then Sun's JDK and the update packages are rarely coming out). My main problem is that I am using maven build tools which has a depend to OpenJDK (even if I don't use with it, I changed every symlink referring to OpenJDK in /usr/lib/jvm and /usr/java). So is there a way to remove completely OpenJDK without having removed maven (and ant, eclipse) tools. So can these java project depend on besides OpenJDK, for example on Sun's JDK too (so when I want to install e.g. maven next time can I choose between them?)? Thanks. Best regards, Peter Major

Compaq Presario F700
by Brandon Thomas 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hello Everyone, Not sure if anyone else happens to have the Compaq Presario F700 sold by Wal-Mart. If you do, and you happen to run Fedora 10 does your plymouth stick? Here is what I have thus discovered and the scenarios: 1. During startup, plymouth with stop right at the beginning. 2. I press ESC and plymouth steps through its first item, Reading Physical volumes. 3. I hold the Alt key down until udev has started at which point it still requires me to give some type of input (I just hold Alt down) if the AC power is not plugged in; otherwise it begins booting just fine. I also had this same issue when trying to install Fedora 10 before Anaconda had started. I'm wondering if perhaps there isn't something wrong with the initrd image? Brandon
