icewm has no programs
by John Summerfield 13 May '08

13 May '08

System: HP DC7700 OS fedora-release-9-2, AMD-64. Last updated within the past two houes. "Programs" menu in icewm is absolutely empty. Essentially, it's unusable. -- John Summerfield

No sound from Flash
by Patrick O'Callaghan 13 May '08

13 May '08

I'm using the Adobe flash-plugin. I get video but no sound from flash movies, e.g. youtube.com. Maybe there's a missing codec, but vlc and xine both work fine and there are no error messages I can see. (I also tried swfdec but it was worse; not even the video showed). libflashsupport is installed. Any thoughts? poc

ark and rar
by Patrick O'Callaghan 13 May '08

13 May '08

In F8 I used to use Ark (KDE utility) to unpack .rar files, but in F9 it no longer works. Ark doesn't recognize .rar although I installed the unrar package. Am I missing something? poc

Here's what happened to xfwm4
by John Summerfield 13 May '08

13 May '08

I installed it, but don't get to choose it when logging in. Here, I think, is why: [summer@potoroo ~]$ rpm -qi xfwm4 Name : xfwm4 Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 4.4.2 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 3.fc9 Build Date: Wed 30 Apr 2008 04:29:14 AM WST Install Date: Mon 12 May 2008 11:11:39 AM WST Build Host: xenbuilder2.fedora.redhat.com Group : User Interface/Desktops Source RPM: xfwm4-4.4.2-3.fc9.src.rpm Size : 2655388 License: GPLv2+ Signature : DSA/SHA1, Thu 01 May 2008 01:44:19 AM WST, Key ID b44269d04f2a6fd2 Packager : Fedora Project URL : http://www.xfce.org/ Summary : Next generation window manager for Xfce Description : xfwm4 is a window manager compatible with GNOME, GNOME2, KDE2, KDE3 and Xfce. [summer@potoroo ~]$ rpm -ql xfwm4 | grep xsessions [summer@potoroo ~]$ I gather it should be tucking a .desktop file into /usr/share/xsessions/ and also a file into /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.d (see Mike A. Harris (mharris(a)mharris.canuck) on 2005-04-05 07:52 EST https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=142260 for this one) -- John

freezing machine updated/upgraded to rawhide/current sulfur
by Antonio Olivares 12 May '08

12 May '08

Dear all, I have updated/upgraded the machine that was freezing all the time to Rawhide using Fedora Preview Iso + Updates. There is only one gotcha. Grub is not working correctly? When starting up machine. IT does nothing it stays at GRUB and stays there. I can successfully boot it using livecd's to boot the partition. [students@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 9 (Sulphur) [students@localhost ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Thu May 1 06:28:41 EDT 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux [students@localhost ~]$ I have already run grub-install /dev/sda1 from Fedora 9 Preview DVD to make sure everything is ok. Is there anything that looks incorrect in grub.conf below. BTW: Machine does not freeze anymore. Maybe it did not like Fedora 8.

Windowmaker on fedora-release-9-2.
by John Summerfield 12 May '08

12 May '08

Has too few menu items, they seem to be built in rather than reflect what's actually installed. Eg menu items for abiword and dia do not work on my system as the programs are not installed. OTOH, seamonkey _is_ installed and there are no menu items for it. -- John Summerfield

Upgrade -> rawhide disaster
by Neal Becker 12 May '08

12 May '08

I just tried a 2nd upgrade F8-> rawhide. On reboot, it hung a long time on bringing up eth0, and failed. This never had a problem on F8. 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) When it went to start X, all I got was an 'X'. And an apparantly dead machine. I rebooted into mode 3. Ran top. Nothing showed a significant load average. Quit top. Now, no response from keyboard. Rebooted into mode 1. Looked at /var/log/messages. Millions(?) of lines from named. chkconfig named off. Rebooted again. Now, running OK, but still no eth0. No wired shown in NM. Don't know why.
