Kernel update nuked my machine
by Smith, Herb 28 May '09

28 May '09

Tuesday evening the automatic updater downloaded a kernel update. After rebooting all I get is a totally black screen with "GRUB_" in the upper left corner of the screen. It responds to nothing on the keyboard. This is a dual boot Dell machine with FC10 and Windows XP. Any suggestions? Is there something I can do with the rescue CD or is it best to wait for FC11 and try to just do an update from there? Thanks in advance. Herb "I now own a boat anchor" Smith

A wallet mystery
by Timothy Murphy 28 May '09

28 May '09

I've been looking at KWallet, and see that it assigns a number to the various applications for which it keeps a password. For example, if I left-click on the wallet icon in my panel, and then left-click on the wallet icon in the window that comes up, I see two applications, kmail and knode, listed. If I left-click on kmail, and then on Passwords, 5 entries come up, with names like Account-224797954 and Account-73485003. Evidently these account numbers refer to KMail accounts, in most cases from the distant past. But how does one find what accounts these numbers refer to? The numbers are repeated in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/ but there is no indication as far as I can see of what exactly they correspond to. It seems that each account in KMail must have an identification no, but where it can be found escapes me. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

Java applications acting up with KDE4.2.3, Qt, nvidia drivers, etc.
by linux guy 27 May '09

27 May '09

I've got 2 Java applications that I like to use that don't work properly anymore. a) Cronometer. http://spaz.ca/cronometer/ It crashes the entire session when it runs. It looks like redraw doesn't work. I think cronometer uses the swing library. b) Eclipse's Visual Editor. I do Java development in Eclipse and I use the Visual Editor (VE) to make the GUIs. VE ran fine in about April or so. I fired it up today to make a few changes and the GUI in the editing Window disappears from time to time. Eclipse and VE use the SWT library. Prior to now, VE was very stable. I've used it for the last several years. I am running F10 stable, x86, KDE 4.3.2, etc. How would I troubleshoot these issues ? Thanks

incomplete shutdown
by Thufir 27 May '09

27 May '09

I recently installed Fedora 10, however the system says that it's shutdown completely but the power doesn't go off, I have to flip the swithc in the back to turn it off. I've run into "restart" not restarting, and having to hit the restart switch before, but an incomplete shutdown's more of a hassle. If it helps, here's the hardware: [thufir@arrakis ~]$ [thufir@arrakis ~]$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661FX/M661FX/M661MX Host (rev 11) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS AGP Port (virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS964 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 36) 00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev 01) 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0) 00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.1 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.1 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.1 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 91) 00:05.0 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] RAID bus controller 180 SATA/PATA [SiS] (rev 01) 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter [thufir@arrakis ~]$ thanks, Thufir

hardware for fedora
by Stuart McGraw 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hello all, Time has come to replace my ancient circa 2001 computers with something new. I will probably buy the parts and build them myself (although if anyone can recommend a vendor that uses high quality components, I'll consider that as well) but want to make sure I end up with systems that can run Fedora trouble free. I'm planning on two identical boxes, one running an Evil Empire OS, the other Fedora. I want good performance (the Fedora box will be running servers (postgresql, apache, postfix, dns, etc) as well as acting as an interactive development machine. Although I want good performance, having a trouble and complication-free install and operation is higher priority. I have just spent several days of mostly fruitless googling and found large amounts of out-dated, questionable, ambiguous, contradictory, and other not-so-good info. What I would really like is a collection of tested specifications: "I used a Fruble-2500 motherboard, Caterpillar D50 Case, a Dustin Wigetal XZ123 250G hard drive, Sparker T800 800W power supply,...blah, blah..., and F10 installed and ran with no problems". Does any one have any hardware "recipes" like this (or a pointer to a web site with some?) Thanks.

Screensaver usurpation
by Beartooth 27 May '09

27 May '09

This is far from new; I've seen it with the last several releases of Fedora, and keep forgetting to ask about it. I happen to prefer xscreensaver, which always insists on installation that gnome-screensaver be installed, too. So I install it, and make sure it's xscreensaver that I run. Often, however, it stops working after a while. When that happens, and I launch it, it gives me two messages. One says gnome- screensaver's daemon, or something, is running, and asks whether to stop it. Given that, it then says its own is not running, and asks whether to start. I've tried the big hammer more than once -- told yum to remove gnome-screensaver; but it always threatens to take xscreensaver with it. Is there anything I can do about this usurpation? Or if not, might some developer in an idle moment take a hard look at the dependencies? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
