F12: KDE and PulseAudio latest update
by Terry Barnaby 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Having just updated my systems I have been trying to use skype with an USB webcam having its own microphone under KDE. The skype app only sees the PulseAudio device and cannot select the USB webcams mic from its options menu. This used to work some time in the past (F10 rather than F12 ?). Also the KDE "System Settings/Multimedia" screen only shows the "PulseAudio Sound Server". paman shows the USB webcam mic is present. How to I get Skype to use my USB webcams mic ?

Postfix, No SMTP AUTH when TLS is enabled
by froinds J 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Hello, I'm having a problem with postfix in F12. I used to have my email server setup with F10. My setup had TLS enabled (self signed certs) with SASL using pwcheck_method=auxprop and CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5. I had virtual accounts. Everything worked great until I installed F12. It was a clean install. My issue now is the following: If I disable TLS, postfix works as expected. If I enable it, I cannot authenticate. Without TLS I can telnet to my server and I get 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 250-AUTH=CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5. However, once I enable TLS this doesn't show. My mail client says the server does not support CRAM-MD5 or any other method of authentication I try when TLS is on. I've tested the certs with openssl and I don't get any errors. I've been running my mail server on Fedora since FC3 and I've never encountered this issue. Has anyone had this problem? A solution will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Froinds

screensaver vs dpms
by Jackson Byers 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

$ uname -r 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.i686.PAE In my system, the screensaver (blanking the screen) seems to be working as expected. But, I am also experiencing occasional dpms-like "suspend" blanking, (I am sure it is "suspend" and not "standby") which I don't want, and worse, I can't find out what is causing this response. I don't have an xorg.conf, and would rather keep it that way. If I get out of X via ctl-alt-bs, and then back in via startx, then xset q shows standby, suspend, off all at 0, ie disabled. So what else in f11 can be exciting that "suspend"? I have done some googling, but no help so far. Are there F11 guidelines for using both screensaver and dpms? TIA Jack

by Robert Moskowitz 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

Is disk druid available for partitioning (and formating) a USB attached drive while running fedora? I have a 120Gb drive in a USB housing and I want to delete the old Linux partitions, create a single ext3 partition, then rsync all my data to this drive...

Hi Robert, I have the same situation, and used the xrandr script which Marko posted a couple of weeks ago. This turns off the laptop screen on startup, BUT anything which was on the laptopp screen gets "lost" ie, I can't refer to anything which was in the trays. If I then click on the cashew on the external screen & hit "zoom out", it shows me 2 screen images, the one I am using on the external screen (with the "blue blob"background), the other which appears to be the last laptop image with a plain blue screen. My previous F11 installation used to have the same image on both screens, which I could "auto config" on my external screen to get it to full screen & Fn-f5(Toshiba) would cycle happily throught the both-ext-lap..... So far, I've not found an answer! Dave

Why are the virtual machine RPMs not updated in the repo for F11?
by KC8LDO 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

I was doing some checking on the virt-manager GUI and found it is significantly out of date. The version in the F11 repo is 0.7 while the version on the web site http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/download.html is currently at 0.8.1 last I checked. The date for the 0.7 version is back in March of 2009. That makes it at least 9 months old and 2 revisions behind what is there now. The same could be said for the other packages too: In the repo is virtinst v0.400.3 - current is v0.500.1 In the repo is virt-viewer v0.0.3-6 - current is v0.2.0 Who do I have to contact about getting these packages updated and in the repo for update downloads? Regards; Leland C. Scott KC8LDO

Can't burn DVDs

FC12 -- video resolution problems
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

I just did a FC12 install on my notebook, blowing away my Centos 5.3 install. Big step up. This is on a HP nc2400 that has the Intel 945M video. It comes up with only 800x600 resolution. So I installed system-config-display and configured the monitor manually to be LCD 1280x1024, but selected only 1024x768. I logged out and logged in, and I came up in 1024x768 video. I then pressed <FN-f4> to switch to my external LCD monitor, and things went a bit screwy. I should point out that my monitor is on a Belkin KVM. But this has always worked in Centos. My situation right now is that the system is running both internal and external, and pressing <FN-f4> is not getting it to roll through internal, both, external, internal, etc. as it 'use to'. If I power up with the external disconnected, I come up in 1024x768 and then if I plug the external in, it is not sized properly, like it is only 800x600 and thus you only see the center of the screen and only the background, not the running tasks. If I boot up with the external plugged in, the video is 800x600 for both internal and external, and I cannot roll through the modes. So what is going on here and how can I get things working reasonablly???
