linkage problem?
by Gene Heskett 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Greetings; Now running F10. When I click on a link in an email that would normally go to firefox, it is starting a fresh copy even though there is a copy running on another window, AND it is opening two tabs of the new invocation in the new copy of firefox, which of course opens on top of the window kmail is running in. When I was running F8, kmail simply handed the link to whatever firefox that was running as it could just as easily been 2.0.0.19. I note that in kontrol->file associations, there are often 2 copies of firefox, presumably because when F10 installed itself, it installed 3.0.4 alongside the 3.0.6 install. I had yum remove the 3.0.4 version and then relinked /usr/lib/firefox/firefox (the 3.0.6 install) to /usr/sbin/firefox which I believe was the previous setup. Any idea where to go looking for this? It is a bit of a PIMA. Thanks all. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Re: Keyboard settings are lost after each reboot

Any ideas? > > Thanks in advance, > > Paul Same thing happened here. Already seen in various machines, i386 and x86_64. The keyboards were configured during Fedora 10 installation and no manual configuration in Xorg or GNOME. Everything was working fine until last update. I guess the affecting updates were xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-13.fc10 or xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.3-13.fc10. Only affects the keyboard settings in the graphical mode (GNOME in my case). Text mode still fine. Regards Danilo Camara

display "stretched"
by brian 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Since upgrading to 10 a few weeks ago, I've occasionally logged in to find the display stretched out of shape. Everything appears too tall & thin. Logging out and back in has always fixed the problem. I've gone through the logs but I really don't know what I should be looking for, nor even what information I might post to this list to help in diagnosing the issue other than my video card info. Can anyone give me some pointers on what to look for, or what I can provide to help solve this? The driver is: SiS 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter

How to kill qemu without losing (paused) VM?
by Neil Bird 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I admit I may be missing something obvious, I'm new to this VM malarkey. On my F10 running the VM manager (which I'd earlier failed to get working but I think burst into life when I manually loaded the qemu kmdl): I can pause the VMs OK, an come back to them later, but the qemu process is still running, taking up RAM and seemingly eating a little CPU. Is it not possible to somehow shut the qemu process down on a paused VM for later restart? 'Disconnecting' seemed to only apply to the VM manager, and still left the qemus running. -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit

KDE 4.2 update and sound
by Ambrogio 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi all, before to update I had no sound at login. Only sound after a few seconds after login, and music at logoff. Now, I think kde has solved some problems with my sound cards, and now is enable to play sound at login. I would like to know where to change the sound in KDE configuration. I was unable to found in Systel Settings the place where I can change the behaviour. Can someone point me in the right menu? Bye Ambrogio

logwatch reports kernel errors present
by Steve Blackwell 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Every time I boot my machine I get a message like this in logwatch WARNING: Kernel Errors Present ACPI Error (nseval-0159): I ...: 12 Time(s) $ uname -r 2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.x86_64 I don't see anything in /var/log/messages and in /var/log/dmesg I see: ACPI Error (nseval-0159): Insufficient arguments - method [_OSC] needs 5, found 4 [20080609] ie, the same error. Google returned a few hits but nothing that explained what this meant. I didn't find anything in redhat bugzilla. So, what does it mean? Is it important? Thanks, Steve.

F10 custom install
by John Wendel 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Clueless here, I've got an F10 install running well, and I'd like to move the system to a flash disk. This flash will become the boot device for a small system I'm building. Can I just use "cp" and end up with a workable system? I know that I need to do a grub install. Anything else? I'd appreciate any clues about what I need to tweak on the resulting flash to get it booting/running. Thanks, Clueless ( John )

Broadcom 4306 Wireless in Fedora 10

Problem with keyboard layout in kvm virtual machine
by Klaus-Peter Schrage 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

This weekend I have successfully installed kvm and qemu, and Win XP is running in a virtual machine. A problem remains: Win XP installs with German locale (the default, as I used a German installation cd), but a strange keyboard layout results - some kind of qwertyu, it is not the US one which I know. In KDE (system settings - regional and language) I have set the "DE" keyboard layout as well. Whenever I switch to "US" there, I immediatedly get the correct layout in the Windows guest, and switching to "DE" again in KDE brings back the strange layout in Win XP. Any pointers to what may be configured wrong are welcome. Klaus
