Fedora10 Wireless configuration
by Tom Smith 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hello, I just installed Fedora 10 on my computer and I am attempting to set up a D-Link DWL-G520+ network card. When I use the "Network Configuration" tool and select "Add" then try to find the network card from the list under "Select Ethernet Adapter" I don't see my card or any wireless cards from D-Link. What should I choose? Thanks. Tom

Intel i915 Display issues with F10?
by Philip Rhoades 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

People, It seems there are display issues with the Intel i915 chipset (onboard video)? I upgraded to the latest: mesa-dri-drivers xorg-x11-drv-i915 but it hasn't helped . . (F9 was OK). Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

/etc/profile
by Dave Feustel 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

I've been running F9 for a while. About two weeks ago I started getting sequences like the following every time I log in: [1] 3875 [2] 3877 [3] 3879 [4] 3880 [5] 3881 [6] 3882 [7] 3883 [8] 3885 [9] 3888 [10] 3891 [11] 3895 [12] 3899 [13] 3901 [14] 3903 [15] 3905 [16] 3907 [17] 3909 I got rid of this by setting permissions of /etc/profile to 000, although the sequences still show up when I log in as root. I've looked at the /etc/profile code but I don't understand it. What code in /etc/profile generates these sequences? Thanks.

Text rendering in FX3
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi, people Some sites I visit are displayed with text rendering problems when I see them in FX3 on F10. However, FX3 on Windows displays them correctly. I've setup fonts in the Linux version exactly the same as they are in Windows. Most common problems is text being truncated, or text that should be displayed in one line being broken in two lines, sometimes with the second line being truncated, sometimes with it overwriting other text. Besides font configuration, what else may be causing this problems? Thanks, Marcelo

Looking for in-box supported, bootable RAID-5 SATA controller for FC9... any recos?
by Philip Prindeville 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

I went out and bought a Promise FastTrak TX4650 believing that it was, indeed, "in-box supported" in FC9. It's not. You have to build the drivers for your kernel, and that's after searching on several blogs for driver updates (the factory drivers are 2.6.23) So I'm looking for a PCI (not PCI-X... my motherboard won't physically fit one) or PCI-e 1x or PCI-e 16x card that supports RAID 5, has in kernel drivers in FC9, is SATA, and that I can boot off (well, booting would be nice to have... but not vital). Either something that is purely hardware RAID, or has partial hardware acceleration for "md". (The motherboard, an ASUS M3A78-CM, has a 6-channel SATA controller, but no RAID 5 functionality). This is for a build server for our Open Source project. Any recommendations? Oh, and I have a max budget of about $300 USD. Yes, I'm a cheap bastard. Thanks, -Philip

Session Manager changed again ??
by Bill Case 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

Hi; By using Currently Running Programs (or whatever) and Options tabs in F9 I was able to start Evolution and Xchat-gnome in workspace 3 at login. Now SM has removed the Currently Running Programs (or whatever) tab. Instead I have added Evolution and Xchat-gnome to the Startup Programs tab. Does anybody know how to write the startup command so that they both open in workspace 3 rather than workspace 1? -- Regards Bill Fedora 10, Gnome 2.24.2 Evo.2.24.2, Emacs 22.2.1

Instead of trying to create a fight > or drag this issue upstream, why don't you just use another distribution? Why did you mailed this to me only and not the lists. O well, i said it in this thread but you probably didn't read it. I don't blame you.. there are about 250 messages in this thread ^_^ To the subject. I said that i did find ubuntu better then fedora and that i did use it but i prefer the RPM system and in those distributions i like fedora the most. My top 2 list is: 1. Fedora 2. Ubuntu And i keep swapping between those 2. Right now i need fedora because of a development project and i'm more familiar with rpm then i am with debs. specially on repairing an RPM issue. repairing a deb issue is a lot more painful. That's why i use fedora and that's why i don't switch to another os (for now). I also find rpm to be more flexible to use then deb but that might be because i didn't do much deb devel stuff and did rpm devel stuff (rebuilding and making rpms/debs). The best case for me would be a ubuntu using the rpm structure instead of deb. btw. lets NOT start flaming about the advantages and disadvantages of rpm vs deb. i'm well aware of those! So that's why.
