I went to install a nvidia driver today and learned there are issues with livna. Do any one know when/if it is going to be fixed? I get the following if any one is curious: # yum install kmod-nvidia ....

by Clodoaldo Neto 01 Mar '07

In FC5, gnome desktop, the mouse pointer jumps randomly to one of the screen borders at each minute or two when I'm moving it. Tried with two PS2 mouses and one USB mouse. How could I investigate it further? Regards, -- Clodoaldo Pinto Neto

Conflict with installing RKWard
by Paul Smith 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Dear All RKWard seems to be a nice gui for R. Its site has the address http://rkward.sourceforge.net/ I have compiled it from the tarball and created a rpm, but getting the following conflict when trying to install it: «Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax/r.xml from install of rkward-0.4.6-1 conflicts with file from package kdelibs-3.5.6-3.fc6» Any ideas? Is there somewhere a ready rpm without the above problem? Thanks in advance, Paul

I think fglrx was trying to re-make my xorg.conf at boot, and I had to copy a saved one back after booting· But I just installed the latest xorg-x11-drv-fglrx.x86_64 8.34.8-6.lvn6 and rebooted and it worked fine. Is this your issue too? Bill -- __________________________________________________________ Bill Murray w.j.murray(a)rl.ac.uk (41)-1235-446256

Automounting flash drives
by Braden McDaniel 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

I have a flash drive that came formatted as FAT16. In this original configuration, FC6 has no problem automounting it. However, if I reformat the drive using Gparted (to ext2, FAT32, or even FAT16), it no longer automounts. What magic is going on here? -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <braden(a)endoframe.com> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <braden(a)jabber.org>

More on swap.
by Aaron Konstam 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Yesterday in answer to the question as to how much swap is needed it was suggested to read the article at: http://www.redhat.com/magaszine/001nov04/features/vm/ Well this is an interesting article but it tells one nothing about swap fits into the virtual memory structure for the 2.4 kernel in this case. Unfortunately , it is sort of complicated and as other people have said how much swap you need depends a good deal on what you are doing. Swap is an concept whose name was incorrectly borrowed from the OLD 370 and 360 IBM systems and to understand how it fits in to the VM system of the Linux kernel you need to read books like, "Linux Kernel Development, Second Edition", by Robert Love. In many cases you can run a Linux system without swap. -- ======================================================================= You have a tendency to feel you are superior to most computers. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net

Saving the "Frequency Scaling Monitor" applet settings between boots
by Michael Wiktowy 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Hello list, This is a repost since I received no replies from my inquiry last time. Maybe no one knows or it is impossible. I have dug through gconf and found a key named applications->panel->applets->applet_0->prefs that looks like the controls for the appropriate applet but the setting I want doesn't seem to be there. I am just looking for a little guidance. Original post: I recently updated my old laptop (850 MHz Dell) to FC6 from FC5. It seems that FC6 is a bit more demanding of it such that while before it could scale back to 700 MHz and things would work fine, now I need to pin it at 850 MHz. The CPU Frequency Applet will allow you to do that by setting the Governor to "Performance" or just setting the Frequency to 850 MHz but this setting isn't kept between reboots. Is there a way to save this setting so I don't have to keep resetting it each time? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, /Mike
