F12 32-bit Repos & F12 64-bit Repos: Equal Amount of Apps?
by Chris 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Greetings, I am currently back to using Fedora (and very happy I might add) and running 12/32. Would it be a safe statement to say that a large portion (better then 80%) of the apps in the 12/32 repos will also be available in the 12/64 repos? Of course, I would sacrifice the ability to use my 64 bit system to ensure I have all the apps that I currently use under 32 bit. TIA -- Best regards, Chris “Poor Al Gore - Global Warming Debunked Via Internet You Invented” -- Jon Stewart on ClimateGate

I find that if the Control key is held down while using the mouse, it works normally.

OT: Linux Malware is possible? if it is :(
by Antonio Olivares 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Dear fellow Fedora users, As I am also a regular visitor of Slax forum, I was also a particiant of a thread "Myths or reality about linux and security" http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=36246 , someone posted the following link: http://www.eweekeurope.co.uk/news/developer-ponders-release-of-linux-malwar… In that page it is mentioned that malware can be made for linux and it can do harm too :(, Selinux can catch it(crossing fingers) according to them, but is one safe from all those threats? Regards, Antonio

Fedora does not restart.
by Grzegorz Witkowski 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi, My Fedora 12 does not restart the computer when I select System -> Shut Down... -> Restart button or do # shutdown -r now. It logs me out, shuts X, I believe stops all processes and then I can see Restarting and a steady cursor below on the left top corner of the screen. Keyboard is unresponsive but the system is still powered on, fans are spinning and power button is on. Then the only option is to shut the system down by holding the power button for few seconds. I can shutdown the system from the Fedora with no problem. Windows and Ubuntu restarts the same hardware with no problem. Fedora Live gives the same problem. I wonder if it is something to do with ACPI? I had that issue since F9 if I remember in all releases of Fedora later. If anyone has any idea, it's more than welcome.

Size, resolution, desktop effects issues after update [F12, X, Gnome, Compiz, xrandr, radeon, RV350 AS Radeon 9550]
by Grzegorz Witkowski 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi, After recent updates to kernel 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686.PAE my Gnome started behave strangely. It looks xrandr stopped probing my screen and card properly and it looks Compiz (Desktop Effects) stopped working properly either. Compiz seems to be working, but I cannot switch between desktops, like I would have only one desktop and the "Workspaces on a Cube" does not work, I mean I can select it by the cube is not there. I tried Metacity and the only difference is that I can switch between workspaces. I believe I had the same issues in F10 & F11, that is why I stopped using them a while ago. I came back to F12 because all looked great after initial install. Few updates and it looks to be broken again :( Linux fedora 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Sat Nov 21 16:12:37 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux X.Org X Server 1.7.1 Gnome 2.28.0 $ lspci 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon 9550] 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon 9550] (Secondary) Why does it show 2 cards? :O $ lsmod radeon 448080 2 ttm 34264 1 radeon drm_kms_helper 22700 1 radeon drm 135208 4 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 4820 1 radeon $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2240 x 900, maximum 4096 x 4096 (screen size is absolutely weird for any reason) VGA-0 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 255mm 1440x900 59.9 + 75.0* 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 DVI-0 connected 800x600+1440+300 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 800x600 60.3* 56.2 640x480 59.9 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) So I need # xrandr -s 0 to recover a little and get: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-0 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 255mm 1440x900 59.9 + 75.0* 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 DVI-0 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) In Display Preferences I can see now two monitors for any reason.

Firefox loses sound if left
by Mick M. 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi; I use: firefox-3.5.5-1.fc12.x86_64 kernel 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64 When I go to youtube and play a video it works fine. However if I walk away for a while and then tryto watch something I get no sound. I can use dolphin to play a .flv file just fine. If I quit firefox and start it again it works. Mick M. Standard guarantee applies - 30 feet or 30 seconds, whichever comes first. # find / -name "*your base*" -exec chown us:us {} \;

Compiz-manager bombs but desktop-effects works?
by thomas cameron 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

All - I'm using a GeForce 7300 GT video card. It's worked great for dual-head with all the compiz-fusion goodness since FC6 or so. I finally got F12 installed, jumped through the hoops to get the NVidia driver (from nvidia.com) installed. Weird thing is that if I fire up compiz-manager, it doesn't work. No wobbly windows, no spinning desktop, nothing. Here's the output: [tcameron@case Desktop]$ compiz-manager Checking for Xgl: not present. xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:00.0 0300: 10de:0393 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.

Checking for FBConfig: present. Checking for Xgl: not present. Starting gtk-window-decorator /usr/bin/compiz (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format If I just run desktop-effects, I get the wobbly windows and spinning desktop. Just none of the cool advanced features of compiz-fusion. Anyone else seeing this? Any pointers? TC

packagegit authentication
by Sam Varshavchik 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

I thought that a week ago packagegit was updated to require authentication before installing all packages, even signed ones. I just ran packagegit to install all current updates, and realized that it didn't prompt me for the root password. I want to change that. I can't find the "Security" tool in the administration menu which in previous versions of Fedora could be used to configure which actions require authentication. Where did that tool move to?

Fonts Helvetica and symbol ???
by Reg Clemens 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

I am building an old program and it wants the fonts helvetica10 helvetica14 and symbol12 looking at the list from 'yum list all' there seem to be about a billion font packages,- does anyone know which might provide these fonts??? I can use something similar, for helvetica, but would then have to worry about the content of the Symbol font. Any help would be appreciated. -- Reg.Clemens reg(a)dwf.com
