I were looking for "/etc/modprobe.conf", but I didn't found it. Thanks Andrea

I have looked through the popup menu for KDE 4.1.1 Yes I know how to start/configure a service. I already use httpd and mysqld. Being a programmer I have programmed services. I saw the term "network manager" and decided to educate myself. Somewhere somebody said "network manager" was a new addition so I decided to learn about it. Whether or not I need it is immaterial.

Font rendering problem in F8 KDE
by mike cloaked 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Until today the rendering of text in KDE3.5 in F8 was OK... I went to the KDE Control Centre and changed the font settings - Once I restarted an app the text rendering was awful... after logging back in to KDE all text fonts are rendered badly. I set them to DejaVu Sans 10 apart from the fixed width which is DejaVu Sans mono 10, and Window Title which is DejaVu Sans 12. I set the fonts back to what I thought they were before but the fonts are now awful and ugly. I seem to be unable to use antialiasing since if I set to enabled and then open the configure dialogue then I cannot select "ue sub-pixel hinting" - the check box won't activate! I seem to remember having some similar problem way back in F7 or earlier but I don't know where to start in trying to fix this... Can someone offer any suggestions to get this fixed? Thanks

Both the computer and the drive are supposed to be 3.0Gb/s devices. Yet the driver wants to connect at 1.5 Gbps. The Serial ATA Controller is listed as ahci in hwbrowser. # /sbin/lsmod | grep sat sata_sil24 16069 0 libata 131937 3 ata_piix,sata_sil24,ahci How should I proceed to get my external drive working ? Thanks

Nvidia drivers, screen redraws
by Reid Rivenburgh 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

The combination of Gnome and fvwm has been working well for me (though it ain't easy to configure!). I used kde for several years, though, so I thought I'd check out the latest (F9, 4.1.1). It definitely seems better than the early 4.0 releases in terms of polish and goodies, but one thing I noticed is that switching desktops is relatively slow. If it's a desktop with firefox on it, it'll take 3-4 seconds to redraw the firefox window. With fvwm, it's less than a second. Turning off the nifty desktop effects helps some. Now, I also tried switching to the nvidia driver from livna at the same time, so that could be a factor, though it is still fast with nvidia drivers and fvwm. I admit I haven't tried the combo of xorg driver and kde. Seems like I've seen some web page glitchiness when scrolling, too. Just curious if anyone has any comments on this behavior. (At this point, though, I'm happy to go back to fvwm/gnome, what with the little issues and feeling like it'd be quite a bit of work to set things up the way I like them.) The computer is about six months old: core duo 8400, 4 GB memory, GeForce 8600 GTS, 64-bit packages. Thanks, reid

display hw info from command line
by Mark Haney 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

I know there are several semi-related tools for displaying hardware installed in a system, and I can use all those if I must. But what I"m interested in is any new tools that can compile and display the hardware installed in a server or export it to a text file in an easy to read format. I've been looking at sysinfo, hwinfo and others, but most of those seem dead development wise. So are there any recent ones I"ve missed? -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support

Boot hangs on modprobe errors
by Laura Speck 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hi all, I have a fresh install of Fedora 9 on a Dell poweredge 2650. Install went fine, no errors or warnings. Rebooted it, and it hangs after: serial 00:06: unable to assign resources Red Hat nash version 6.0.52 starting INFO: task modprobe:<number here that I cannot remember> blocked for more than 120 seconds "echo 0> /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. INFO: task scsi_scan_0:449 blocked for more than 120 seconds "echo 0> /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. We used 32bit fedora 9 to install onto a 3 dish scsi raid5. I am not sure if this machine is 32bit or 64bit, but I figured 32bit fedora should work on both? Rebooted again, and now it's not doing anything. It gave the error about the serial, then started nash up, but now nothing. And it's been a half hour. I am completely clueless right about now and any help would be greatly appreciated, even a point in the right direction :) -- Laura Speck
