Firefox and Opera on FC14 fail to access Globus site
by Abu Attar Musharih 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hello List, I have two browsers, the Firefox and Opera on F14. Both can watch without any problem youtube videos and access almost any site except for Globus ( http://www.globus.org/ ). Using the Firefox of F7 on another box, I found no problem of accessing that site. Does anyone have an explanation? Thanks in advance. AA

FC14 good/bad news
by Bill Davidsen 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

I installed FC14 in a VM, on a 7.7GB disk image. After that was installed and tested to some extent, I copied the image to an 8GB SD memory and booted off it. Worked with the micro-SD in an adaptor to full size SD, and in a micro-SD to USB nubbin. When I installed I made the filesystems ext2 to avoid beating the storage, other than that stock install. Now I can select enhanced effects for video, and they work fine (for values of fine considering I wanted to see if they work, not that I want them on). However, the display is still dog slow, glxgears runs at 60fps, video is jerky, etc. So the "better" video now doesn't crash, does provide effects I don't need, and is still too slow to be useful, even on a non-game machine. So much for not using vendor drivers. System is i7-950, 12GB RAM, Radeon HD 4350 video, used as a VM host most of the time. Not a killer machine, not a dog. I will be doing some testing to see if the newer KVM is any better in a measurable way, but when VNC to a machine with fast video is better than console, there is room for improvement. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Wireless

Dear folks, I am having a difficult time connecting at decent speeds to a wireless network setup by my nephew with Fedora 14. I installed Fedora 14 on a quad core machine that had Fedora 12 happily running. IT has a built in wireless device integrated in it. The installation worked beautifully and connected the first time around. The driver rtl8187 loaded fine and I browsed the web and applied all the updates and got new kernel too. I was very happy. I turned off the machine and yesterday and today tried to connect to internet with it and it not longer works the way it did the first time :(, I cannot connect to any page like I did before and networkmanger in KDE tells me that I am connected but cannot browse. In windows, I can browse the web without troubles, here is output from ipconfig /all Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Wireless System Connection - How?
by agraham 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi I want my laptop to connect to my Wifi as a "System Connection" by default (assuming now wired LAN is plugged in). I'm using KDE (F14), in Edit Network Connections - KDE Control Module there are two options: 1. Connect Automatically 2. System Connection The second option is always greyed out - and I don't know why? I would assume that if I login as root and setup this as a system connection it should create the neccessary ifcfg-wlan0 file with boot=Yes. Any suggestions or pointers to docs? TIA. Albert.

SELinux Guide for Fedora 14
by Jorge Fábregas 01 Dec '10

Hi, I noticed there's no SELinux Guide for Fedora 14. Is it that there's nothing new compared to the Fedora 13 one or is simply not ready yet? Thanks! Jorge

64-bit Google Earth won't install
by Patrick O'Callaghan 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

F14 fully updated. I tried installing the latest Google Earth 64-bit tarball (version 6.0.0.1735) and got this: $ sudo sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 6.0.0.1735.............................................................. ./setup.sh: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk2: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory I've seen this "bad Elf interpreter" message in other contexts, but can simply never remember what it means (something about 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system I think). Any pointers welcome. poc

Easily Dual Boot Windows 7 and F14? Hi, Perhaps I am missing something. Trying to easily dual boot a Windows 7 computer with Fedora 14. Seems the installer does not do this? (Windows 7 installed, then install F14) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Jesse

usb auto mount when nobody is logged in?
by Alan Evans 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Is it possible to get gnome-volume-manager style auto mount/umount of USB drives in /media (or elsewhere) when nobody is logged into the desktop? The behavior when I'm logged in (auto-mounting in a directory named after the Volume Name, auto-unmounting, etc) is exactly what I would like when I'm not logged in. It doesn't matter if the mount point is owned by root, as I just want to back up some files in a cron job but only if there's a drive plugged in. I suppose I could script it all, except: 1. I'm not a very skilled script writer, 2. I don't really know where to start to accomplish this, and 3. It seems to me that there's already something on the system that does perfectly what I want. -Alan
