Why radeontool?
by Doug Wyatt 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Yesterday, when I ran 'yum update' on F7 I got two packages installed for which I can't find a reason (see yum log excerpt below). The two new packages are vbetool and radeontool. From what I can find, both used to be part of pm-utils. I really don't know about vbetool, maybe it's needed, but radeontool is described as: "radeontool is a hack to save some battery on an ATI Radeon Mobility graphics chip. Radeontool can turn off and on the backlight and external video output." But, my platform is a desktop, not a laptop, with a GeForce 6800 GT video card. Using yumex, I tried uninstalling radeontool to see what depended on it; there were nearly 200 of them and pretty much none of those were optional. They included most of the OpenOffice pkgs, Control-Center and system-config-*, for example. Can anyone explain, or even speculate, why radeontool?

YUM problems.

Hi All, I'm having issue with yum on several machines in different locations. One of them (the most pressing one) is a brand new build and when attempting to use yum I receive the following error: [root@u15271166 etc]# yum list available Setting up repositories Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=core-6&arch=x86_64 error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core My yum.conf looks like this...

basic question about assigning ip address
by Peter Horst 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I have a Fedora machine I'm using as a home server, without a keyboard or monitor. I'd like to set it up such that upon rebooting it first checks to see if there is a DHCP server on the network, and if so, grabs an ip address from it. But if there isn't one, it assigns itself a static address. Is this doable? Thank you.

Quick Firefox question ?
by Bill Case 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hi All; I read about a way to get 'about:plugins' activated from my help menu rather than continually retyping. Now I can't find that tip. How do you get the 'about:plugins' into the FireFox menu? Thoroughly screwed up installing Flash and Java. Have to start over but thought I could solve the little menu problem first. -- Regards Bill

F7 funny things on USB ports
by Antonio M 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

After last updates, 1) I connect a card reader to USB port 1 2) I connect a USB disk to USB port 2 3) card reader is automatically unmounted and when I plug it again it is not automatically mounted (and it disappears also from lsusb devices list!!) The same when I connect a second USB disk when another USB disk is connected. Therefore I cannot copy anything from one USB device to another USB device. Iw was working fine in the past. -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag

arabic letters in wine, fedora 7
by Bjørge Solli 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hi again, I got a strange problem with wine. The letters of all programs in wine has some arabic letters (and thus get quite difficult to use for us that don't understand it..). Even the configuration window has this, so could not check for ways to alter it there. Any ways to fix this? Regards Bjørge

Built in card reader not detected
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hi, I have a centrino duo notebook with a built in Ricoh card reader (for SD / XD / MMC cards and memory sticks), which I can't make work. lspci shows: 05:03.1 Generic system peripheral [0805]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 19) 05:03.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Unknown device 0843 (rev 01) 05:03.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 0a) 05:03.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 05) I've asked about this problem in this list sometime ago and have been researching it, but found no solution yet. Nothing appears in /var/log/messages when a card is inserted in the device. I've tried memory sticks and XD cards, these are the ones I have available here. I'm running F7 fully updated. Anyone has this device working with memory sticks or xd cards? Thanks, Marcelo

firefox crashing : what else to do ?
by Felipe Nunez 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I 've being using Fedora 7 since the beginning and with it firefox. Al was fine, but I'm not sure, but having updated to flash-plugin-9.0.48.0-a firefox crashes randomly - with no apparent cause - all the time. The plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins are: flashplayer.xpt libtotem-gmp-plugin.xpt playerplug-in-rm.so libflashplayer.so libtotem-mully-plugin.so mplayerplug-in.so libjavaplugin_oji.so libtotem-mully-plugin.xpt mplayerplug-in-wmp.so libtotem-basic-plugin.so libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so nphelix.so libtotem-basic-plugin.xpt libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.xpt nphelix.xpt libtotem-complex-plugin.so mozplugger.so nppdf.so libtotem-complex-plugin.xpt mplayerplug-in-dvx.so xine-logo.ogg libtotem-gmp-plugin.so mplayerplug-in-qt.so xineplugin.so I've taken all of them away to no avail. Is there something else to do ? Any advice is welcomed. Felipe Nunez
