Fedora 10 updates
by Michael Magua 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi list Apologies if this has been asked previously. I'd like to follow the development of Fedora 10 and I've currently got it installed. If I continue to run 'yum update' would that keep me up to date with this release? -- Regards, Michael Magua RHCE 805008570430920

flash plugin sound
by Mark Haney 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

My daughter told me over the weekend that there was no sound from flash-enabled websites for the last couple of weeks on her Fedora 9 system. (My middle daughter told me the same). I thought it was a pulseaudio problem, but sound works everywhere else. Has there been an update or something that's caused this problem? It was working beautifully until then. (I wish I had more information, but there's nothing in syslog, and I haven't done updates in that time. -- 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

VDQ : machine names??
by Beartooth 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

I know it's a Very Dumb Question; I just can't find a general answer that works. I want to stop calling all the machines on my LAN localhost.localdomain, and give them distinctive names. I have found two or three ways of doing so; but they don't stick. The only way that really works, for me at least, is to think of it (and be ready) while doing a fresh install. When anaconda asks me whether to use dhcp, I can click on manual, type in a name, click back to using dhcp, and that name lasts. I'm not even sure now whether it's mere logging out and back in, or just actual reboots that do it, but in a location subject to longer power failures than the UPSs I can afford will ride out, I get enough reboots, too (alas!). One other way that I've tried is to use system-config-network, and edit the configuration of eth0; but that seems to be little more than a pacifier. I want something that shows up in the prompts, and that I can use in ssh and scp, without having to look up IP numbers on the router all the time -- especially since not all LAN machines are on one floor. Clue, please? Pretty please? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Opera 9, Firefox 2 & 3 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

F8: no fullscreen video with ATI fglrx driver
by wwp 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hello there, since I use the fglrx driver in my Fedora 8 (Dell D810, X600 ATI board, was using the radeon driver before), I can't get mplayer or xkype to display a video in fullscreen. Pressing F in mplayer just does paint the original size video in a black fullscreen. I think it's an issue I could solve long time ago in my FC3 or FC5, but now I'm stuck with it. Is there something I missed? Any hint appreciated.. The following rpms are installed: kernel-2.6.26.3-14.fc8 kmod-fglrx-8.512-2.8.07.lvn8 xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.512-1.8.07.lvn8 xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-8.512-1.8.07.lvn8 Excerpts from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "on" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "fglrx" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" Option "VideoOverlay" "on" EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection mplayer says: [VO_XV] It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available. [VO_XV] Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read [VO_XV] DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#xv! [VO_XV] See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. [VO_XV] Try -vo x11.

Java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin problem - (x86-64)
by Trapper 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

I have been trying to resolve a java related issue with the java Firefox plugin since the release of Fedora 10 Alpha x86_64. I am now using F10 Beta x86_64 and the difficulty still persists. I have: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.21.b12.fc10 (x86_64) java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin (x86_64) firefox 3.0.2 (x86_64) kernel-2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10 (x86_64) My problem: The java plugin works but it does not work here: http://www.goes.noaa.gov/HURRLOOPS/huirloop.html This is a radar time loop java applet with 10 sequential frames. Although the progress bar shows the frame progress, the frames do not switch. Only the first frame is displayed. There is no animation of the radar display. This exact difficulty was also prevalent in F8 and F9. One fix was Sun JRE and the following "adjustments": yum install compat-libstdc++-* libXp sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' $YOURPATHTOTHISJREFILE/libmawt.so In x86_64 I've been unable to find any sort of fix that allows proper viewing of the above mentioned page. Any ideas other than reverting back to the 32 bit browser and/or Sun JRE? At last check Sun JRE did not have a 64 bit plugin. Trapper

Trash applet
by Antonio M 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

In my F10 I don't have the Trash applet in the list of applets that can be added to the panel...on another system I have it. How can I add Trash applet?? And how can I had the Trash voice in the menu?? (I think in the Resources Menu)... The only area where I have the Trash is the desktop. And should I see a Trash folder in my /User/ folder???? Tnx -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag

F10: a few issues and suggestions
by Marcelo Garcia 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi Yesterday I installed F10 and a few issues: 1) After checking the dvd, it ejected and when I inserted it back to continue the installation, there was a message saying that the there was no medium. I had to reboot and skip the checking to continue the installation. 2) At the end of installation, the dvd didn't ejected as expected. Suggestions: 3) I really liked the icons, but that default background (I think is the same in F9 and in the login screen) is horrible. I suggest to use "flow" as default background. 4) I liked the "silk"(?) background. If there could be a theme using it would be good. In certain way, something like the ubuntu theme, which I think if very elegant. 5) I also suggest to borrow as an extra theme the the gnome look of Opensuse 11. I don't know if I'll use, but at least is a interesting. Thanks for your attention. Marcelo
