Kernel 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 and USB Storage Devices
by Aly Dharshi
Hello All,
I hope that you are well. I have a 6.0GB Seagate ST660211USB device
which previously used to get magically automounted and an icon showed up
on screen, I know that there are some threads about this flying about.
Does this kernel resolve this particular issue, if not what sort of
information can I provide inorder to help troubleshoot:

This is the dmesg output:

uni directional ssh -

I have two F7 computers on my LAN. Box7 will ssh into box6 but box6 can
not ssh into box7?
I use Firestarter, have tried stopping it in both computers to no avail.
Box6 will ping box7 but will not connect.

Goodbye F7
by Karl Larsen
I must have too many special uses for my Linux. I went to F7 because
of many nice things :-)
I got many things working and sent in 4 Bug reports none of which have
been solved. I was just not able to live without the things I must have.
So I am back to FC6 and will get a few things from F7 to here and be
done with it :-(

recording video from webcam?
by Tom Horsley
I see mencoder is supposed to be able to record audio from
an alsa audio source, but I've never been able to get it
to work. (I can start up arecord in the background, then
combine the audio and video with a 0.4 second delay, and
have it work reasonably well, but that seems kinda klunky).
Any handy apps for recording video and audio simultaneously
(with a v4l2 only driver - not the original v4l)?
All the fancy DVR apps I've tried seem to freak out when
presented with a video source that doesn't have a tuner
(maybe it would be simpler to hack the driver to pretend
to have a tuner, but always tune to the same channel :-).

logoff Xorg problem
by Dario Lesca
Hi, I have install F7 on my Notebook yesterday, this HP NoteBook:
> http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=c020ea57-537e-43e0-b458-805ed2b9...
When I close my GDM session (logoff) the monitor is blocked and If I
press the CTRL+ALT+BS or F1 none happened.
I must login via SSH from another PC and kill Xorg process to come back
to login screen.
If I logon with root, this problem do not happened, when I logout the X
session is close without problem.
Then system is up to date.
To my user I have enable the Desktop effect, for user root no, the
problem happened also if I disable desktop effect.
If i work without desktop effect (compiz) the problem not happened and
logout work great.
Is a compiz problem? is possible resolve it?
Is this a know problem?
there is a solutions?
Many thanks to all.

I don't know what I'm looking for but there are 2 things that I
noticed about the contents of the /proc/interrupts file:
1. when I typed 'cat /proc/interrupts' I got a message saying
something like 'file not terminated correctly'. I don't remember the
exact wording. It looks like a few characters and the end-of-line are
missing. I'm guessing that this is no big deal and that cat read the
file in the middle of an update.
2. The LOC line has some large numbers; ~1500000 for each processor.
This is immediately after boot up, (Immediate isn't the right word as
it takes ~45mins to boot and log in) Is this normal?
I have updated to FC7T4 and I am now running the 2.6.21-1.3116 kernel
which someone suggested would correct the problem but it did not. I
have also tried with acpi=off as a kernel option but that didn't
change anything either.

Nothing about timeouts. Here are a few things from dmesg that might be
of interest.

Like many others, I can watch BBC News videos with my F7 64-bit desktop.
However, there apparently *is* a difference btw. UK and non-UK customers
in that earlier (2 weeks ago) only low-quality (~34 kb/s) video streams
were available for my location (in Finland).
Connecting to BBC News with FF-32 and a stand-alone RealPlayer 10, I was
now offered a choice btw. 'broadband' and 'standard'. Choosing broadband
I got a better-quality (224 kb/s) picture, but there were many 'freezes'
even in the one-minute World News video - just like watching someone on
a satellite videophone. These freezes were apparent on other videos as
well.
This is beside the point, however. BBC News videos *can* be watched with
Fedora 7, Firefox-32 and RP 10 also outside the UK.

scrambled panel
by charles f. zeitler
this sunday my xga monitor started acting up,
the screen goes out & drops me to a login screen.
i switched to my back-up monitor, and same scene.
after re-attaching my xga monitor, i find my upper
panel scrambled, "apps" "places" and "system'
are now right-center, launchers to the right,
clock left-center... and the 'move' function
is greyed out...
is there some way to restore order to this sitch?
thanks

what is rc.local shutdown partner
by Genes MailLists
rc.local is executed after the init scripts on boot - what is the
equivalent which would be executed before the scripts during the shutdown
phase?
Thank you.
