Opening an URL in kmail or knode
by Timothy Murphy 01 May '06

01 May '06

There seems to have been a slight change in the way kmail/knode interacts with firefox. When I click on an URL in kmail or knode, with firefox running on a different desktop, the focus now goes to the firefox window. Previously, the link would be saved in firefox, but the focus would remain on kmail (say). This allowed me, when reading the NY Times, for example, to click on several URLs, and continue reading the paper while firefox collected the pages I'd asked for. Is this a setting I could alter, or is it a change in a recent version of firefox? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

FC 5 black screen before install
by 스팸관리자 01 May '06

01 May '06

I have downloaded, sha1sum'ed and burned a set of CD install discs. After booting from disc 1, I hit <enter> to start a graphical install and get a black screen. I have tried several variants of 'linux xxx' at the boot: prompt and all result in the black screen. I'm running: Asus A7V333 AMD Athlon XP 1800 512 MB RAM nVidia NV15DDR GeForce2 Ti Sony Trinitron Multiscan G400 Any ideas on getting an install process that I can see executing? Thanks! Steve

FC5 - Intel 82801G - High Definition Audio
by Marcel Groner 01 May '06

Hi guys I've got a Samsung Q35 - Centrino Duo. Check out my page "Installing Fedora Core 5 on Samsung Q35": <http://www.puzzle.ch/samsung_q35.html> At the moment everything seems to work except the soundcard. :-( Chip: Intel Corporation 82801G - High Definition Audio Kernel-Module: snd-hda-intel # lspci -v -s 00:1b.0 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd Unknown device c504 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 Memory at d8240000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [70] Express Unknown type IRQ 0 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [130] Unknown (5) While installing FC5 the soundcard is detected successfully at install but the sound is not working (I can't hear anything). using system-config-soundcard there's always a nasty beep in the background while playing the test sample. I tried to ajust levels with kmix and alsamixer and played with all settings but I can't get it to work. the best I get it a sound with background beep but that is kinda useless! I'm using: alsa-lib and alsa-utils from FC5: 1.0.11-3.rc2.2 I also tried the latest alsa packages (10.1.11-1.rc4) but then the sound is completely gone. does anyone know how to fix that issue?

UDEV on FC5
by Karl Larsen 01 May '06

01 May '06

I loaded Fedora Core 5 and notice that udev is part of the bootup. I think this is why in this new version, 2 applications called gMFSK and XLog do not work now. They both require excess to /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/dsp and udev is not giving these to it when the user is non-root. I have verified that both appear to work if started by root. But they do not work if started by user 0500, me. If I am to remain on fedora core 5 these applications must work. I have the old Fedora core 2 still on the computer and it runs just fine there.

I just did a "yum -y update". Rebooted and went to Sysytem Tools, Software Updater, and it also had files to uddate.
