No Linux versions. You could try to run Flash under Wine emulator (www.winehq.org) I used to run Macromedia Flash 2004 in older Wine versions (before 1.0). It worked pretty well. I wasn't able even to install Flash CS4 on Wine 1.1.9. So I had to use VirtualBox machine with Win XP guest system. With my 2 Gb memory it works a bit slow. But it seems that CS4 is slow by itself.

[Fwd: Migration of the Fedora Mailing Lists]
by Aaron Konstam 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

-------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Jon Stanley <jonstanley(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com To: fedora-announce-list(a)redhat.com Subject: Migration of the Fedora Mailing Lists Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:00:36 -0500 Over the last several years, there has been some contention over why our mailing lists are @redhat.com instead of @fedoraproject.org, and there are also some concerns over the process of requesting new lists and so on. As a result, we (myself and Dennis Gilmore) are beginning an effort to migrate fedora-*(a)redhat.com to lists.fedoraproject.org. WHAT BENEFIT DOES THIS HAVE FOR FEDORA? =========================================== We will now be in control of our own mailing lists, can be more responsive to the community for questions or issues with the lists. It also give us our own identity for the lists, separate from Red Hat. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ME? ============================= Right now, nothing. We are still working on some of the backend infrastructure in order to allow this migration to occur. However, in the near future, we'll be working with each of the list owners in order to migrate. We'll start with small lists, and gradually work our way up to larger ones. Subscriber lists will be copied from the Red Hat mailman instance to the Fedora one. Mail filters will need to be changed in order to accommodate the new List-ID headers from this new instance of mailman. Archives will reamin posted at the redhat.com mailman instance. WHAT NOTICE WILL BE PROVIDED? =============================== We'll work with each individual list owner in order to determine a date for the migration. Several weeks prior to the date, we'll send a reminder e-mail to the list in question. We'll always be available for questions in #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net. As always, if you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out to me directly, either via e-mail or jds2001 on IRC, or extension 5102788 on Fedora Talk! -- ======================================================================= Endless the world's turn, endless the sun's spinning Endless the quest; I turn again, back to my own beginning, And here, find rest. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net

Comment out the 4th line of /etc/pam.d/gdm so it reads: #auth required pam_suceed_if.so user != root quiet And log-out. 'Root' is now an acceptable user during the graphical login as an 'Other'. (And /root/.dmrc will continue to exist if you use it/create it.) Geoff -- Tux says: "Be regular. Eat cron flakes."

fglrx drivers from rpmfusion-updates-testing
by Suvayu Ali 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi, I installed the latest fglrx drivers from updates-testing as I was having some minor problems with the previous release. But since then the monitor keeps flickering intermittently. Is un-installing the current ones, and re-installing the previous drivers the only way to roll-back, or is there a more subtle way to do this? $ yumno list installed|egrep 'fglrx|-ati' akmod-fglrx.x86_64 8.573-1.9.1.fc10 installed kmod-fglrx-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati.x86_64 6.9.0-63.fc10 installed xorg-x11-drv-fglrx.x86_64 8.573-1.9.1.fc10 installed xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs.x86_64 8.573-1.9.1.fc10 installed TIA -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Video playback color problem in totem or vlc
by Axel 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hello Video playback used to be good but now color rendering isn't accurate anymore. Blue parts are now green, green parts are violet, and so on, in video playback . I tried totem (gstreamer backend) and VLC. I m using nvidia driver from the livna repository. I launched gstreamer-properties, moving the "autodected" to the X-Window System (without Xv) entry fixes the problem, other items doesn't change anything. How could I fix it and use the "autodetect" entry ? What could I have done which caused this problem ? Thanks in advance.

F10 post installation kernel issue?
by Dan Thurman 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

First time F10 install went well. One thing I did differently in installing F10 was to: 1) Use the Volume based filesystems 2) Enabled disk encryption I noticed that on every reboot, one must enter the password long before seeing a grub display. Hmm... maybe for a server this is not the way to go, but for a workstation, it's probably ok. Anyway, the initial kernel I started with is: (1) kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 I proceeded to get the latest updates and this was approx. 1 week ago. I later added programs I wanted installed, configured the services I wanted, etc., etc., and everything went well. I was able to reboot, no problems. But then a few days later, more updates came through, but specifically a new kernel was added: (2) kernel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 Rebooting, I got the messages: ====================== ata1: ACPI get timing mode failed (AE 0x300d) Loading /lib/kdb/Keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map [hang] So, I never got to the point where I needed to enter the encrypted disk password for continuance. To be sure, I rebooted back to the original kernel (1), and it booted just fine. Leaving it there, I continued using the system, but got yet another kernel update: (3) kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686 Same problem reported in (2) above. So I am still stuck at using my initial kernel at (1). Is there anything I can do or to check to understand why I am not able to use the latest kernels? Thanks! Dan

F10 Pulseaudio problem
by Reuben D. Budiardja 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hello, I have Audigy SB card with 5.1 speakers Using pulseaudio I found that the produced sound sometime has glitch and I get the following message in /var/log/messages when it happens: pulseaudio[5501]: module-alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! Most likely this is an ALSA driver bug. Please report this issue to the PulseAudio developers. Secondly, with Pulseaudio I cannot control the volume of the "Surround" and "Center" Speaker, only the Front with kmix. I opened pavucontrol and doesn't find any control for the Surround / Center output either. Thirdly, I don't know if it's related but somehow after installing the pulseaudio stuff (I had them uninstall to troubleshoot my sound not working earlier) and trying to play songs with amarok, X had been restarted three times forcing me to re-login. So, my questions are: 1. Any help with these problems ? 2. Is it possible to have working Flash plugin for Firefox with sound without Pulseaudio ? (Last time I tried without pulseaudio I couldn't get Flash to have sound). Thanks. RDB

F10 problems changing screen resolution in prefs.
by Neil Bird 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

I have a default screen res. of 1600x1200, but my wife prefers 1280x1024, and has this set in her user prefs. This has worked a treat, but since upgrading from F8 to F10, she gets a screen with horrendous flicker. The resolution prefs. app. won't let us select anything above 60Hz (and even them what it gives is in no way 60Hz). Similarly for me, if I try to change the rate, I cannot [re]select the 85Hz for my res. that my monitor tells me it is actually set to. Ditto if I run xrandr to list available modes, so something must be a bit stuffed in what X thinks my monitor can do. I do have custom monitor settings in xorg.conf (with the correct scan rates for my monitor) as otherwise it won't let me change at all. Any thoughts, or is it ‘just’ the all-new xorg still getting things wrong? -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit
