OpenGL test or screen savers wanted for F12
by Aaron Gray 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, I have a machine that turns itself off at random when booting or running Windows XP. It runs F12 fine once started and compiles GCC okay. What I was wondering if it is some MMX or extra CPU functionality that it is crashing on. What I am after is a yum package that uses F12 either a game or a screen saver. Many thanks in advance, Aaron

qmmp x86_64 dependency problem
by Mikkel 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Have others run into the problem where the qmmp x86_64 update wants to drag in a bunch of .i686 packages as dependencies when you try to upgrade it? I already have all the 64 bit equivalents installed and the installed qmmp 64 bit package works fine.

Clobbered display when switching users.
by Erik P. Olsen 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Running F12 with integrated ATI Radion HD 4200 GPU and mesa-dri-drivers-experimental. When I switch to another user everything works nicely but when I switch back to the original user the display becomes all clobbered, i.e. wrong colours and figures and letters are difficult to read. I can just manage to log out and back again after which the display is back to normal. Is this something I can correct or should I file a bug report? -- Cheers, Erik.

F12 NFS install locks up on "Performing post-installation configuration"
by Reuben D. Budiardja 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hello, Has anyone tried installing F12 using NFS ? I created a boot USB, boot via USB, then use "linux askmethod", and then perform NFS install. I also created a custom hard drive layout. Everything works fine until it gets to the end to do "Performing post-installation configuration", where the system just locks up. I've tried the same thing three times and get exactly the same result. Any ideas ? Trying USB or DVD install next. Thanks. RDB

F12 text mode and disk layout
by Andrea 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, I've just installed F12 on a PS3. Only text mode installation works due to the amount of RAM available. I would like to partition my hard disk to have / and /home in a different partition. Single big reason is that new reinstall I keep /home instead of loosing it. So, the closest I got to partitioning was a menu with 3 choices - use entire disk - replace linux system - use free space none of them took me to a partitioning tool. I can see in the installation notes a picture of such a tool It is Figure 6.2 in this page http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f12/en-US/html/s1-guimode-texti… http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f12/en-US/html/s1-guimode-texti… How do I get there?

How to install printer driver without printer connected.
by Joe Feely 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I have F12 installed from a live CD (on my AA1, I used an external DVD rewriter). I use a Dell 1720 laser printer 13 miles away (when I visit there), with no IN connection. How can I "install the required driver" while at home, from which I have access to the IN (and the CD I installed from, though I've no handy means of using this where the printer is). I have tried Googling it. Any pointers / guidance appreciated. TIA Joe

How in the hell do I install DVD43 using wine. Same question for ICOPYDVDS2 And how do I install LimeWire If we can't copy DVDs for personal use, can't use limewire , then FEDORA is GARBAGE useless to normal users. So Fix this NOW (I AM SICK OF WINDOWS) Some one pick up the challenge we can't all just sit with our finger up our ass waiting for some one else. I would but I am just a beginner. Thanks Hector Celis
