Screensaver in F11 loses horizontal sync
by Bob McConnell 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

I searched both Google and the archives of this list, but could not find the magic keys to produce useful answers. I downloaded the Fedora 11(*) live CD and used it to install on two boxen. Both are showing the same problem. Everything works well until the screen saver kicks in. At that point the display loses sync and shows torn jagged diagonal lines across the screen. Any normal input triggers a recovery and returns to my regularly scheduled programs. Fedora 11, KDE Box 1: Dell GX270 SFF P-4/Xeon 2.6 GHz 512 MB DDR RAM 20 GB IDE drive Intel 865 Video Chip Box 2: White box P-4/Celeron 1.0 GHz 512 MB DDR RAM 60 GB IDE drive Apollo ProMedia PLE133T/a Video chip Both boxes are talking to a Dell E173FP display through a Compaq KVM. Display resolution is 1280x1024. Where can I find instructions on how to re-configure the screen saver so it inherits the correct video settings? Where are the rest of the video settings saved so I can enable some of the options that don't show up? For example, in System Settings->Dislay the second box only shows a 60 Hz Refresh option. I need to enable and select 75 Hz. The file I was expecting, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, is not there. Where can I find instructions on how to install and switch to XFCE? Bob McConnell N2SPP (*) I am trying out Fedora 11 for several reasons. First, at work we just switched hosting providers which also means we switched our servers from Red Hat to CentOS. After the switch, IT will no longer be managing our external or internal servers. So I need to learn enough about the environment to keep the development and QA servers in sync with the hosted servers. Second, Slackware 13 does not play well with the Intel video chips in most of my Dell computers. i.e. both the live CD and install CD produce unusable configurations even in CLI modes. I have been using Slackware since 1993, when it replaced my original Soft Landing Systems 1.02 system (kernel 0.99pl12). But I have not been happy with many of the recent choices made by that group. These two reasons finally shoved me past the tipping point to begin leaving Slackware.

I'm using Gnome but tried that and also tried a full reboot after the updates but that didn't help. I also "rpm -e" all the packages I listed and reinstalled them. Last night I updated everything I could see that seemed related to gnome, gtk, pygtk, Xorg, etc., on the theory that there was perhaps some unrecognized dependency on a recent package but it didn't help. (Unfortunately I can't keep everything up to date over a 3KB/s modem connection that rarely runs unattended for more than a couple hours.) The only other thing I notice is when I run ibus-daemon from a shell with "-v", I see lots of errors like the following that appear when it's started: (ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed : Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/default->on_off] (ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed : Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/default->circle_input_mode] ... (ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed : Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/wnn->add_word] (ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed : Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/wnn->start_setup] They all have in common a message about not getting a value from engine/anthy/shortcut/<something>. Perhaps these are normal? If not, do they ring a bell with anyone? I don't see any messages when I type the activate sequence (alt-grave) in some window. > FWIW, I saw your earlier query....but since all was working > for me and I > was unable to update to your level I just didn't answer. > > IMHO, people shouldn't threaten to revert to Windows.

In retrospect it did sound a little pissy -- chalk it up to a high level of frustration. But I have to honestly say that I have more commitment to using a system that meets my needs than to FOSS political correctness.

creating a new gnome terminal, running a command when the term starts...
by bruce 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hi. I'm trying to create/invoke a new gnome-terminal, were i start/run a script when the term starts up.. from the gnome-terminal docs, i'm assuming i can accomplish this by using the "-x/-e" attribute when i fire up gnome-terminal... this doesn't work... others appear to have the same issue... so, when i do: gnome-terminal -x "foo" a new gnome term is created, but it hangs without a bash prompt (or any prompt) created. so it appears that a useless blank term window is displayed. the "foo" script is simply an empty script for testing. it has the chgrp of 777 with a chown of 777 and a chmod of +x. in the fstab, there is a default devpts so the virtual dev for the term window should be ok.. i think. i'm running an older fedora 9 for this test. any pointers/thoughts... thanks...

T61 no sound with Fedora 11
by Yu Lex 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Hello, My headphone worked before, however, after some installation and update, I found there was no sound on my T61 any more. I have tried "alsamixer -c0" or "gst-mixer" to unmute all "MM" stuff, however it did not work. At present, the only thing I can hear is the electronic noisy in my headphone. Could anybody help me? Any comment will be really appreciated!! Thanks in advance. Lex

enabling root over ssh on F11
by Aaron Gray 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

I need to enable root access via sshd. I will be using certificates and firewalled access. I tried remove the suffix " user != root quiet" from /etc/pam.d/gdm. Also added "PermitRootLogin yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Also put SELinux into Permissive mode. But still neither root sshd nor login work. Help, Aaron

Re: NFS causing slooooow boot

The "bg" option insists on waiting around to timeout >once before it is willing to background the operation. There may be a way around this. Comment out the nfs mount lines in fstab. Boot will proceed using only the local mounts. Write a small script file which contains the command line versions of required 'mount' lines. Call this script at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local with a '&' in the call line The nfs call will run in background and will not return until nfs has timed out, but it will be backgrounded throughout, and other boot processes (loading X, etc) will continue. You can test this with a script file containing: 'date', 'mount -a', 'date', and changing your /etc/fstab to attempt to NFS mount from a computer which does not exist (ie, mung the hostname of one of your existing machines). You will see from the output that it will take the full minute to return. Geoff
