PackageKit run scheduling?
by Ryan Lynch
PackageKit has been driving me nuts, lately. It will kick off installing
updates in the middle of the day, while I'm trying to work, which drives my
load average up to 3 or 4, basically making the machine unusable.
Is there a way to control when PackageKit runs? I'd like to schedule it to
download and install all updates at 3 AM, every night.
Alternatively, how do I disable PackageKit entirely?

Make custom mtu setting permsnent
by Dave Feustel
I want to make a custom mtu setting permanent so I don't
have to reset it each time I boot. I've found three files
where I might be able set the mtu for eth0:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
To which of these files should I add the custom mtu setting,
and do I simply add 'mtu 7200' on a line by itself?
Thanks.

CPU frequency scaling problems in F10
by Ryan Lynch
I'm using the latest F10 updates on a Dell Inspiron 8600 notebook (Pentium M
1.4 GHz), and the CPU frequency scaling appears to be malfunctioning. I
think this is a new issue, but it's hard to say--I only noticed it recently,
but it's possible that I just wasn't paying attention.
Basically, the system won't let me set the CPU frequency to the maximum
(1400 MHz), and it keeps fluctuating between 1000 and 1200 MHz as the load
on the system changes. Also, the fluctuations are kind of random: Even if
the load average is above 2.0 and rising, the frequency will stay at 1000
MHz as the box starts to choke up. The machine is basically unuseable under
KDE4, right now--I'm struggle just to type this email.
I tried selecting the "performance" option from the system tray applet,
which I've read is supposed to peg the CPU frequency at the highest level.
No effect. I've also tried exiting from the applet, killing the HAL cpu
daemon, and setting manual minimum/maximum values via Sysfs. This last
trick rejected 1400 MHz as a valid setting, even though Sysfs reports it as
one of the available frequencies, and in any event it wouldn't stick--the
machine switched back to 1000 MHz after a few minutes.
I'm not running 'cpuspeed' or 'cpufreqd' or anything like that, as far as I
know.
Is there something I'm missing, here?

F10: Konqueror unusable after this morning's updates.

After this update, Konqueror seems to be very slow in displaying a web
page. And when it does display it, you can't scroll it. Scrolling
attempts to move the page up and down, but its not redrawing correctly
at all and thus the page becomes unreadable.

Question about mkfs.ext3
by John Wendel
I'm formatting a new disk and running mkfs.ext3. I asked for 25000
inodes with "-N 25000", but it gave me 118,272 inodes.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks,

Re: Q about installing F10 from Live DVD
by Jackson Byers
David's experience also was that there was no custom option.
I purchased my cd from OSDisc.com
Fedora 10 KDE Edition - install/Live CD
is this some outdated version?
or a deficient version?
not officially supported?
How is one to know?
Jack
you simply clicked next on the partitioning screen with the drop down box
that said "replace my existing linux install" instead of clicking said drop
down box and choosing custom. user error all the way. afaik the live cd's
have had custom partitioning since at least f9 if not before then!
phil
-----------
jbyers:
I don't doubt that I somehow got into "user error all the way".
But I was quite conscious that I did not want "replace my existing linux
install"
and would certainly not have clicked it.
If you are correct,
then if i somehow got into "custom" then I may well have still managed to
botch it.
I still find it curious however that David also thought there was no obvious
"custom"
leading me to think there could be differences on various versions of the
liveinstallcd.
Another question:
this thread "Q about installing F10 from Live DVD"
implies it is a DVD not a CD.
Do both versions exist? I have a CD not a DVD
And one final question:
Does the "custom" option include choice of not installing grub to mbr?
Jack
Does the "custom" include ability to not install grub on the mbr?

Still can't get to sleep
by Timothy Murphy
Sleep to RAM is failing on my Thinkpad T43.
Basically, when I go to Suspend to RAM in the KDE f-menu
(with power cable detached)
the moon flashes for a time, and then goes off
leaving the "running" light on.
(When Suspend to RAM worked,
the moon flashed in the same way
but then the moon went on permanently
and the other light went off.)
I suspected NFS and NetworkManager,
but stopping these does not seem to solve the problem.
I assume some application is causing the problem;
but how can I find out which one it is?

Windows Mobile 2003 device connection
by Julian Weißgerber
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,
I used to connect my PDA (a HTC Wallaby) to my F10 desktop via USB for PIM
synchronization and network access but recently (don't know when exactly) it
stopped working. Anyone on F10 whose WM2003 device still connects properly?
(I'm using "synce-hal" to establish the connection)

No sound on Fedora 10 XFCE
by Erick Martínez
Hello! can anybody bring me some help, pls? No problem with Gnome (sound is ok), but I'm trying to test Fedora 10 XFCE. The problem is that I can't make the sound work. My Thinkpad is mute!!! Pulseaudio is active in the autostarted scripts/applications section. When I open the Volume control, after half a second, a popup window appears over the volume window, and it says Connection failed: Connection terminated, then closes with no more hints. Can anybody help me? (sound chip is ESS ES1938 Solo 1). Thanks in advance!
