Fedora 10 Live CD hangs at boot
by Konstantin Svist 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi all, I just downloaded a copy of F10 x86_64 Live KDE CD. When trying to start on a newly-built computer, it gets into X (I can move the mouse) and a progress bar goes up. At some point, though, the computer freezes and I can't do anything but reboot at that point. CPU: q6600 Mobo: Asus P5N7A-VM <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item…> Video: ATI X800 GT I've tried using the internal video card, but Xorg.0.log says the card is unsupported (it's some nVidia with shared RAM) I've tried disconnecting the hard drive - didn't help, either. What else can I do?

mono great news .... don't read if you hate .NET
by Fred Silsbee 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

right after F9 installed from scratch and before I could alter anything, I tried to use mono to open a C#.NET project and got a sea of errors/warnings. Well in spite of the fact that I watch yum updates like a hawk, fixes crept in and now there are no errors/warnings. WOW! SOMETHING recently altered my software update config and for a few days yum has been run surreptitiously. Without my help, packagekit was installed months ago and does something useful. It tells me when to run yum update by posting a little "asterisk" or "sun" image in the system tray!

F10 question: using vpnc ???
by Fred Smith 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi! F10 is looking good on my eeepc 901! I installed from the DVD (trimmed out a lot of stuff). Been working on configuration and making good progress. But there are two things I haven't figured out yet: 1) I've been through the network configuration screens. I've set up wired (eth0) and wireless (ra0) using the rt2680 packages from RPMFusion. I also set up a cisco vpn (vpnc) and can't figure out how the heck to make it start up. I don't find any tools ANYWHERE for starting it. It won't start from the commandline because the configuration I entered for it was not saved in /etc/vpnc. where does the netw ork config tool save them? What tool does one use to control it? i've got knetworkmanager installed, but it doesn't DO anything when I run it. I see it in the output of "ps ax | grep knet" but there's no UI. Should there be? 2) I've got a strange device showing in the output of /sbin/ifconfig. in addition to eth0 (wired), lo (loopback), and ra0 (wireless) there's a device named "virbr0". No clue where that came from. it has both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, though my network is 192.168.2.x, and this device is 192.168.122.x which isn't even an address I'd assign manually, nor one that my dhcp server would have assigned. I can ssh to it and log in on it just fine. but I don't see why it exists, or how it got there. Clues anyone? Thanks a bunch! And thanks to the whole Fedora team! :) -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 -------------------------------

F10 Kaffeine can't display DVB
by Bernd Bartmann 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi, In F10 I started Kaffeine. It detected my two DVB cards fine and I can see the channel list, but when trying to select a channel I get these error messages: Kein Modul gefunden um diese Quelle zu handhaben (/home/bart/.kaxtv.ts) xine: Kann keinen Demultiplexer für >/home/bart/.kaxtv.ts< finden xine: Inputplugin gefunden: Datei Plugin video_decoder: Kein Plugin gefunden zur Behandlung von 'Image' xine: Demultiplexer-Plugin gefunden: image demux plugin xine: Inputplugin gefunden: Datei Plugin or in English: No module found to handle this source (/home/bart/.kaxtv.ts) xine: Could not find a demultiplexer for >/home/bart/.kaxtv.fs< xine: Inputplugin found: File Plugin video_decoder: No plugin found to handle 'Image' xine: Demultiplexer-Plugin found: image demux plugin xine: Inputplugin found: File Plugin Could it be that there is some package from rpmfusion needed? Thanks in advance, Bernd.

OfficeJet 6200 Series Scanning and Faxing on F10
by Christopher A Williams 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

I have F10 running and reasonably well tuned now. ...But I'm having trouble figuring out how to get my HP OfficeJet 6210xi all-in-one working correctly. This was pretty straight forward in F9, but has me scratching my head with F10. So far, all I can do is print to it. No scanning, no faxing. I loaded the xsane libraries for HP OfficeJet printers, but when I launch XSane (or try to use it via Gimp), it comes back that it can not find any scanners. Help!!! I need to scan receipts for expense reports, so this is critical for me. Next, I'd like to be able to use the fax features. I never tried this in F9 - I just assumed it would work since it found the fax features via the printer setup automatically. But in F10 this also seems to be non-existent. Can someone point me to the relevant packages or magic incantation to make this stuff work?

F10 x86_64 DVD installer kernel panic
by Nandan Bhat 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi, I have observed something that I couldn't explain. I have i386 and x86_64 DVD versions of F10. The mediacheck reports success for both under a Dell Vostro 1200 laptop. I have installed the i386 version on the Dell Vostro 1200 laptop without any issues. However, the Optiplex 740 developed a kernel panic. Background information: Dell Optiplex 740, AMD Athlon X2 5200+, 5 GB ( 2GB x 2, 512 MB x 2 ) RAM, 2 x 250 GB Hard disks I was able to install the i386 version on the Optiplex 740 without issues. However, since the machine has > 4 GB RAM, I wish to install the x86_64 version as the primary OS. There are 6 lines on the screen, that I can see on kernel panic, that look like error messages. --- start kernel panic message lines RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0. EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=md2, iso_blknum=16, block=32 List of all partitions: No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 iso9660 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(9,2) --- end kernel panic message lines Any ideas on overcoming this problem? Thanks Nandan Bhat

F10 Gnome session management not working
by Bernd Bartmann 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi, one my F10 desktop I usually have 4 gnome-terminals, gkrellm and Firefox open. So I want all of them to be restored automatically after loggin out / logging in or after a reboot. In the menu I selected "System --> Einstellungen --> Persönlich --> Sitzungen". In English this would probably be "System --> Settings --> Personal --> Sessions". In the dialog that comes up I went to tab "Optionen / Options" and activated "Automatisch die laufenden Programme beim Abmelden merken" or in English "Automaticaly save running programs during log-off". But after logging out and logging in again I only get a blank desk with the top and bottom gnome panels. So, nothing is being saved at all during logout. Any ideas how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance, Bernd.

open nautilus in text mode?
by Dave Stevens 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi, I've got a folder with 300K recovered jpegs that vary from teeny to several megs. I tried to open the folder with Nautilus and got a 10 hour delay and the whole display is so clumsy (slow) as to be useless. I'd like to take about 1K of the biggest files and move them to some other folder but don't see how to do this with the icon view turned on. So..... Does anyone know how to invoke nautilus with a details view rather than icon view? Or, does anyone care to suggest some bash command that would move the largest 1K files to a new (specified) folder. Then I'd hope to be able to use this command repeatedly to get the files down to a manageable number. Using F7.
