Battery-low auto suspend in FC3
by Ed Swierk 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

I've recently upgraded to an ACPI-capable laptop, and it works great with FC3 for the most part. One feature I miss from APM is the ability to have the laptop automatically suspend itself when the battery power gets too low. I use KDE and know that the klaptop feature supports automatically suspending, but I'd like the laptop to sleep even if KDE happens not to be running (e.g. while it's sitting at the login screen). Also, klaptop's idea of suspend is to twiddle /sys/power/state directly, which bypasses the necessary unloading of modules that my own suspend script does. Is there a simple daemon that monitors the battery power level via ACPI, and can launch a script when it reaches a certain threshold? --Ed -- Ed Swierk eswierk(a)cs.stanford.edu

nvidia TNT 2 Model 64
by Coert Waagmeester 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi again everybody. I have a nVidia TNT 2 Model 64 with 32 meg video ram. I downloaded the nVidia driver for it, and tried to install it on my FC3 installation. all went well except that I had to add the nvidia dev entries in udev's /etc/udev/devices. Then when I rebooted into runlevel 5 with X the graphics came and nVidias nice logo, but nothing happened from there. when I moved the mouse it was like mouse trails were on, and they did not dissapear. Can someone advise me on what to do? Kind regards, Coert btw thnx to the people who have helped me with my previous problems so quickly.

100% Linux - Is it possible?
by Pete 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

I was just looking for a consensus on this... I have been working with Fedora Core 3 for the past month. My new years resolution was to learn Linux. So far, so good. I created a dual-boot Fedora / Windows XP. I am now seriously considering going completely 100% Linux and dumping my Windows partition entirely. The question is - can you live completely without Windows, or do you sooner or later have to resort to Windows again? -- Pete

Re: An update is needed Fedora!
by jery_wang 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Interesting suggestion. I should add the repo to yum (the one i use) and try it in case of failure. Current Status: Im in the middle of rebuilding the SRPM for MySQL. Tried rebuilding the php at the same time and it said it needed sqlite3. I tried "yum install sqlite" and it installed sqlite-2.8. I already tried to be specific and it did not work. I assume I have to build from SRPM a sqlite3 package, downloadable possibly from any development folder in the mirrors. Any suggestions? -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org

New Firefox vs. Up2date
by Jonathan Ryshpan 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

The Red Hat Network Notification Tool (KDE Applet) tells me correctly that there is a new version of Firefox available. The version on the nachine is firefox-1.0-2.fc3.x86_64.rpm, while the latest version on the server is firefox-1.0.1-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm. Nevertheless, up2date doesn't report the new version as available for installation. Does anyone know why this is? Is the new firefox worth hand installation? -- Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh(a)pacbell.net> Berkeley Linux Team

Re: Dual Boot, Grub, FC3-WinXpSP2, 2 drives. No go.

(According to an article in pc-mag.) I'm new, but I have 1st hand knowledge on this issue. Your original Win XP CD is useless. Contact Microsoft by email and they will send you a free Win XP CD which is already updated with SP2. That is what they did for me several months ago. According to Microsoft, I was the 1st person to report this problem at the time. The downside to M$ Win XP SP2 is that some of your old hardware will no longer work. This has been well documented.
