fedora installation
by Jerry Ro 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

hello all, I am interested in installing fedora on a laptop x61t (it is, to the best of my understanding, a 64bit machine.) a few questions I have: * should 60-80 GB be reasonable for full installation of fedora? * i would like to upgrade to fedora 10 when it is available. should i install the beta release which would make it easier to upgrade, or should i stick to fedora 9 since it is more stable and still easy to upgrade? * should i be worried about performance with fedora 10/9 on a laptop with 1.6Ghz processor and 4GB ram? * last, i tried running the Live CD for x86_64 of fedora 9. i had a weird experience - fedora loaded, but no text appeared. instead it was all black empty spots ("null" font). should i be worried about that when coming to install fedora in fully? * i read somewhere that someone installed fedora 64bit on a laptop x61t like mine, and complained that everything was incredibly slow. once he re-installed the 32bit version, it became much better. i would like to use a 64bit version still... should i be worried about having the same behavior? hope it is not too many quetsions. thanks.

Fedora Install Using DVD and HTTP
by Tod 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

I have a web server with a DVD drive, and a server with only a CD ROM drive. How can I install fedora on the server over the network using HTTP? I've searched around but haven't found a method that matches my particular situation. Any ideas? Thanks.

Problem viewing network streams with vlc.
by Erik P. Olsen 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

It's vlc 0.8.6i on Fedora 8 fully updated as of today and the problem is not viewing, it's in the audio. After approx. one minute of sound it suddenly goes mute and after maybe half a minute it will produce sound again and so it continues ad infinitum. The console list from such vlc looks like: [erik@epohost ~]$ vlc VLC media player 0.8.6i Janus [00000331] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x1] audio (85 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x2] audio (69 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x3] audio (38 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x4] video (859 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x5] video (419 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x6] video (224 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: connection successful [00000376] pulse audio output error: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused [00000376] pulse audio output error: Pulse initialization failed [00000376] alsa audio output error: write failed (Broken pipe) [00000319] main playlist: stopping playback It is very consistent it happens every time I view a network stream. Is this something I can correct or should I raise an issue with bugzilla? -- Erik.

why no ethX assigned to 3Com card.
by sean darcy 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

On F9, I have 3 interface cards: lspci | grep Eth 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) 00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c595 100BaseTX [Vortex] 00:11.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) The kernel assigns both the Realtek cards a device: dmesg | grep Real eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xdc814000, 00:48:54:8b:ab:29, IRQ 11 eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xdc8b8000, 00:60:67:70:cc:95, IRQ 11 but not the 3Com card: dmesg | grep eth eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xdc814000, 00:48:54:8b:ab:29, IRQ 11 eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139B' eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xdc8b8000, 00:60:67:70:cc:95, IRQ 11 eth1: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139A' eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1 eth1: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x43E1 eth0: no IPv6 routers present eth1: no IPv6 routers present though the kernel does see it: dmesg | grep -B 2 3Com PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 0000:00:0d.0 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. 0000:00:0d.0: 3Com PCI 3c595 Vortex 100baseTx at 0001e800. It's hard to configure with a device name (: sean

Fedor 9 X Window System error:
by Jeff Maxwell 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Has anyone encountered: The program 'recorder' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'. (Details: serial 214 error_code 15 request_code 45 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) I have had this happen on a couple of other applications. I am also curious if this is preventing my Gnome applications from running? They seem to just flash and disappear.

Fedora 9 32 or 64 Bit - Which One?
by Charlie McVeigh 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

I apologize if this question has been asked before. I have a new Thinkpad T61 in scheduled to arrive sometime next week. I want to install Fedora 9 on it. Being as it has a Core 2 Duo processor, I assume I can install the 64 bit version of Fedora 9. My question is what are the pros and cons that I need to consider when choosing 32 or 64 bit version of Fedora 9? I am currently using a Thinkpad T42 running Fedora Core 7, so I have no experience with 64 bit linux or associated issues. Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Charlie

How do I create 6 pages?

01 Nov '08

On my F9 task bar I have a pager widget, but I can't figure out how to increase the number of pages. I'd like to get to 6. TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this. Does your driver's license say Organ ..0 Donor?Black holes are where God divided by zero. Listen to me! We are all- 000 individuals!

another EDID question, if i might
by Robert P. J. Day 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

i finally have a decent handle on interpreting and manipulating EDID information based on a couple threads here not that long ago, but i just ran into another curious problem. someone handed me a piece of video processing equipment that (allegedly) had decent EDID programmed into it, i hooked up my WUXGA laptop, started the X server, and what i got in the X server log was: ... (II) RADEON(0): I2C device "DVI-0:ddc2" registered at address 0xA0. (II) RADEON(0): EDID vendor "XXX", prod id 26 (II) RADEON(0): Using EDID range info for horizontal sync (II) RADEON(0): Using EDID range info for vertical refresh (II) RADEON(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1920x1200"x0.0 156.87 1920 1978 2010 2100 1200 1206 1212 1236 +hsync +vsync (74.7 kHz) (II) RADEON(0): Output: DVI-0, Detected Monitor Type: 3 (II) RADEON(0): EDID data from the display on output: DVI-0 ---------------------- (II) RADEON(0): Manufacturer: XXX Model: 1a Serial#: 0 (II) RADEON(0): Year: 2006 Week: 1 (II) RADEON(0): EDID Version: 1.3 (II) RADEON(0): Digital Display Input (II) RADEON(0): DFP 1.x compatible TMDS (II) RADEON(0): Indeterminate output size (II) RADEON(0): Gamma: 2.20 (II) RADEON(0): No DPMS capabilities specified(II) RADEON(0): Supported color encodings: RGB 4:4:4 YCrCb 4:4:4 (II) RADEON(0): First detailed timing is preferred mode (II) RADEON(0): GTF timings supported (II) RADEON(0): redX: 0.625 redY: 0.345 greenX: 0.350 greenY: 0.580 (II) RADEON(0): blueX: 0.140 blueY: 0.095 whiteX: 0.320 whiteY: 0.355 (II) RADEON(0): Manufacturer's mask: 0 (II) RADEON(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) RADEON(0): clock: 156.9 MHz Image Size: 0 x 0 mm (II) RADEON(0): h_active: 1920 h_sync: 1978 h_sync_end 2010 h_blank_end 2100 h_border: 0 (II) RADEON(0): v_active: 1200 v_sync: 1206 v_sync_end 1212 v_blanking: 1236 v_border: 0 ... huh? the above looks a bit strange here: (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1920x1200"x0.0 156.87 1920 1978 2010 2100 1200 1206 1212 1236 +hsync +vsync (74.7 kHz) "0.0"?? shouldn't that represent the refresh rate? is that a valid value? apparently, my laptop is refusing to generate a video signal on the DVI output because, perhaps, it doesn't like that value. and then there's this: (II) RADEON(0): clock: 156.9 MHz Image Size: 0 x 0 mm "0 x 0 mm"?? i'm not sure what to make of that either, but i'm going to be handing this back to the person who programmed that piece of equipment and ask whether that information is supposed to be correct. thoughts? rday
