X terminating suddenly without warning
by Chris Ruprecht 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

Hi all and a Happy New Year! OS: FC3 (updated to current) Graphics: ATI Radeon Mobility X11 terminates from time to time (mostly at the least convenient moment, of course) without any warnings. One minute, I'm happily working, the next, the mouse freezes, then, a few seconds later, I get the Graphical login screen. I checked my X logs but they do not contain keywords like 'fatal' or 'error'. Any ideas? Best regards, Chris -- Don't ask me nothin' about nothin' - I might just tell you the truth ... Bob Dylan

xmms-mp3.rpm for fc3 x86_64/AMD64?
by Gene Smith 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

Does the subject rpm exist? If not, can I use a 32 bit version with fc3 AMD64 installed? (livna no longer supports x86_64 and freshrpm only seems to have x86_64 rpm's mostly for fc2.) -gene

iwconfig file update question
by Terry Linhardt 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

I've looked at the man for iwconfig, but could not find an answer to this question: When I use iwconfig to update wireless parameters, I'm "assuming" there is a file that gets updated somewhere. Is this an ASCII file that can be directly edited? Or, is iwconfig updating a binary file somewhere on the system? Thanks..Terry

New monitor and I am getting no display (GUI)
by Appeet 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

I had installed fedora fc3 on my desktop. Everything was working fine until I connected a "New MONITOR". Once I installed my new monitor, I do not get any GUI. Only the shell appears during startup and after that it is just the monitor power light blinking (I know monitor is fine because on my dual boot things are well on the XP side) So what do i need to do ? Do I need to probe my new monitor ? How can I do it ? Graphics card : Intel 82810 display adapter Monitor : Samsung Samtron 55V Thanks in advance., --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Re: hostname in fc (SOLVED)
by Partha Bagchi 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

There was a question about hostname in FC, namely that the router did not show the name of the linux machine on the router DHCP table. In my setup (FC3, linksys router), I made the following change: Go to System Settings -> network and then select your interface. I have wired and wireless. I picked the wireless and selected edit. I then changed the DHCP hostname to my computer name and saved. I restarted the network and voila - The name was visible in the router DHCP table. HTH, Partha
