Fw: Unable to install libX11
by SriLatha 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Thanks for the suggestions. Hey i found two files in /etc/yum.repos.d which are adobe-linux-i386.repo and yum-iisc-f11.repo which has contents which iam attaching here. In response to your suggestion, I tried copying even fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo also which iam attaching here. I tried now installing using yum install libX11-devel\* but there is no progress. It got stuck in refresh-package-list. I copied the libX11 packages into /var/cache/yum/updates/packages.

OT: Is the AMD Phenom processor upwards compabible with the Opteron
by Jonathan Ryshpan 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Configuring the kernel I came across a choice between generic-x86_64 processors, and the Opteron/Athlon/Hammer/K8 processors. My system has a 4-core Phenom processor. Questions: 1. Is the Phenom compatible with the Opteron/etc? I.e. if I configure for the Opteron, will my kernel be reliable? (This is not as easy to find out as I thought.) 2. How much of a performance advantage is there to configuring for the Opteron as against the generic? Thanks - jon

hyperthreading on f11 pae kernel?
by Gianluca Cecchi 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Hello, I have an old Dell GX260 with one P4 and 1Gb of ram. I installed F11 32 bit and updated it yesterday with latest kernel available. I noticed that kernel installed was the PAE one, as stated inside release notes. Also in other documents I see that only i586 is the other available one kernel. >From /proc/cpuinfo I see that there is the ht flag, but the system gets only one cpu. In bios I see no option for enabling/disabling hyperthreading, so that I suppose it is enabled by default.... but I could be wrong.... I have to apply in the mean time a bios update but I would like to ask if using PAE implies no ht and if using i586 I can get ht or not in general. thanks in advance, Gianluca

howto play audio here and hear it there
by Gerhard Magnus 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

I'm running Fedora 11 with the gnome desktop on a small LAN. I'd like to run an audio player (say xmms) on box2 and hear it on box1, which is directly connected to my stereo. In the past I would connect to box1 from box2 via ssh and then run xmms from the command line. Now when I try doing this I get this message: Couldn't open audio. Please check that Your soundcard is configured properly You have the correct output plugin selected No other program is blocking the soundcard. I can play audio with problems from box1, so the soundcard must be OK. I have pulseaudio selected as the output plugin in xmms. (The same problem occurs with alsa and the other plugins.) It seems likely, then, that the problem is some other program is running on box1 that is blocking use of the soundcard. Two related questions: (1) Does anyone know what other program this might be (gnome?) and how I might get around the block? (2) Isn't this the sort of simple application pulseaudio was designed for? Shouldn't I be able to run xmms on box2 and use pulseaudio to play the output on box1? Has anyone been able to do anything like this with pulseaudio and, if so, what settings did you use and where did you set them? Thanks for the help! --Jerry

F11 XKB troubles
by Beartooth 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

One one machine, I keep getting half a dozen popups that all say : Error activating XKB configuration. It can happen under various circumstances: - a bug in libxklavier library - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities) - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation X server version data: The X.Org Foundation 10601901 If you report this situation as a bug, please include: - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd It doesn't say *where* to send a bug report. So I ran those commands, and got : [btth@Hbsk ~]$ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105+inet", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" [btth@Hbsk ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [] options = [] model = [btth@Hbsk ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [] options = [] model = [btth@Hbsk ~]$ None of that means anything to me. I tried yum remove xkb, meaning to follow it with yum install xkb, but yum didn't find it. I tried googling, and I tried yum whatprovides. That got me to / usr/share/X11/xkb -- but everything in the readmes is Geek to me. When I was working, all of us in my section had lots of what we then called macros such as type Ctrl-b, and the machine would put "Includes bibliographical references" into the proper field. What little I can follow seems to say that such tricks are what XKB does; but I don't use them now, and haven't since I retired. Should I just remove XKB? If so, how? If not that, what? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

by Anne Wilson 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

If KDE 4 still feels strange to you, UserBase now has a treat in store. Hans (aka Mogger, on IRC) has created a whole set of short looping screencasts that show you exactly how to do all the common tasks associated with Plasma - covering desktop and panel widgets, extenders and activities. Each one lasts only a few seconds, but because it loops you have plenty of time to see exactly what is happening. Find them at http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/FAQ/HowTo In case you didn't already know, there are already http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma #a general introduction http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/FAQ #now updated to 4.3 http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Plasmoids #a few of our favourite plasmoids. Why not add your favourites? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase
