slow boot for latest fedora kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64
by James Bridge 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Upgraded this evening and the system seemed broken but did start the boot process after about 2 minutes. All normal thereafter. It doesn't make any difference if I boot to level 3. After leaving the boot menu, the screen simply displays a single underline character and nothing happens at all for 2 min. Then things get underway at normal speed. Previous kernel is still installed and boots up quite normally. Any ideas? Anyone else getting the same behaviour? I use the nvidia drivers but they are up to date and in any case shouldn't be used for a level 3 boot. -- N James Bridge <james(a)xmas.demon.co.uk>

by Robert P. J. Day 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

i'm embarrassed to ask this, but how does one increase the number of virtual desktops in f12? used to be there were 4, but with f12, after a fresh install, there's only 2 and i've poked around under System->Prefs and don't see a setting for that. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

thinkfinger for ThinkPad fingerprint scanner missing on F12?
by Suvayu Ali 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi everyone, I got my hands on a brand new ThinkPad in the last week. While setting things up, I noticed that thinkfinger is missing from the F12 although its present in the F11 repos. Is their any reasons behind this? From my 64-bit F11 desktop: > $ sudo yum list thinkfinger > Available Packages > thinkfinger.i586 0.3-9.fc11 fedora > thinkfinger.x86_64 0.3-9.fc11 fedora From my 32-bit F12 ThinkPad: > # yum list thinkfinger > Error: No matching Packages to list All the usual repos are enabled on both machines. If thinkfinger is not available on F12, would it be a wise decision to install the F11 packages in F12? Any thoughts welcome. Happy New Year to you all. :) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

XBMC for Fedora
by Rolf Fokkens 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi! Several people have contributed to this subject in the past: XBMC for fedora. So far however XBMC isn't available in rpmfusion or fedora repositories. Is there a specific reason (like licensing) for this? Anyhow, given the fact that there isn't an XBMC RPM in one of the mentioned repositories, I built it myself based on an RPM by Scott Harvanek. It's here: http://rolffokkens.dyndns.org/ It's running very stable on mij x86_64 Fedora 11 system, both music and video's run smoothly. Somehow however I can't play physical media like DVD's and CD's, as XBMC doesn't seem te be aware of them. Could be a libcdio-0.18 related problem. Cheers! Rolf P.S. I'm using Thunderbird, and don't know how to suppress the HTML formatting. I appologize.

Monitor doesn't turn go into powersave
by Sam Varshavchik 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

After updating to FC12, the monitor on one of my servers no longer turned off when the console was idle. This wasn't the end of the world, so I didn't give this much importance. This weekend I had some extra time to spare, and I've now determined that if I boot with nomodeset, the monitor properly goes into powersave mode. That seems to be the only difference. Everything works fine either way, except that by default DPMS does not work automatically. I thought that, perhaps, with the oddball video card on this older server (mach64 chipset) DPMS is not implemented when the video card is in VESA mode, but I can run 'xset dpms force off', and the monitor goes into powersave mode immediately. Is this a bug, or, despite the fact that DPMS is apparently working, in VESA mode, this may not be supported on my hardware?

Hard Drive upgrade with Fedora 12 installed
by William M. Quarles 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade the hard drives in my computer, and I could use some help transitioning the Fedora 12 installation that I have to the new hard drive without reinstalling the operating systems that I have on my computer. I have had PC DOS 2000 installed on a 6 GiB hard drive, Windows XP Professional on a 40GB hard drive, and Fedora 12 on another 40 GB hard drive. I have purchased a 500 GB hard drive to take the place of the two 40 GB hard drives. The XP and the PC DOS I can handle, but I am unsure of how to transition the Fedora 12 installation due to the fact that I know next to nothing about SELinux, how it affects /etc/fstab since Fedora started enabling SELinux by default years ago, nor how to copy/rebuild the /dev and /proc trees on the new hard drive. Any help you can give me would seriously be appreciated. Thanks, William

Compiz fails to start
by Matthew Saltzman 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

I tried starting Compiz from the Desktop Effects menu, and I just get a pop-up saying it failed, then the desktop reverts to Metacity. I tried from the command line ('compiz --replace') and it seems to start, but I get no window decorations and the keyboard and mouse clicks seem to have no effect (mouse cursor moves, but clicking does nothing; typing does nothing, but <ctrl>-<alt>-<f2> gets me a VC, where I can restart X). This is stock F12, except for the binary nvidia drivers, which are from RPMfusion. Nouveau drivers don't let me turn on Desktop Effects. Any suggestions for debugging? TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs

by Genes MailLists 29 Dec '09

Seems httpd-2.2.14 was pushed to stable for f10 and f12 but not f11. It has security fixes - any reason not to push to f11 stable ? gene/ See: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/httpd?_csrf_token=17465b065b… reposted (orig from non-subscribed account)
