Fedora14 3D graphics with ATI, very very slow
by Terry Barnaby 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hi, I have just updated from Fedora12 to Fedora14 on a few systems. There is a problem with 3D graphics on at least two of these systems. The one I am currently using has: 08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV535 [Radeon X1650 Series] (rev 9e) OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on RV530 If I try and run blender, it comes up but there appear to be multiple second delays when trying to click on menus etc. If I try and turn compositing on then the graphics is very slow moving windows etc. Is this due to the new Gallium 3D driver ? A laptop with a Mobility Radeon X300 appears the same. Any ideas ?

F14 Anaconda language options
by Chris Smart 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hi all, In previous versions of Fedora I was able to pass the lang and keymap options at boot to by-pass the need to select them later in Anaconda. This is important because Australian English is not in the list for me to select, so it gets overridden to US English. Also, previously, I has to pass both lang and keymap, because if I left one off, I had to select them both in the installer. However, this doesn't seem to work for me in Fedora 14 (x86_64 DVD). Even though I pass both keymap and lang, i still get prompted to select language and keyboard. I've tried passing other languages and keymaps too, but get the same result - for example, if I pass lang=de_DE.UTF-8, I _do_ get the language in German, but it still prompts me to select the language.. Is this a bug, feature, or is there a new/other option I have to pass? I've checked Anaconda options on the wiki, but can't see anything new. I've also searched bugzilla, but can't find anything related there either. Thanks! Chris

kickstart user and the --gecos option
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

I am installing F12 via kickstart. I want to set up my userid, and after a bit of reading figured out I needed to add the user command. On reading https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart I figured out I needed: user --name=me --gecos="me myself" --password=nothingspecial But the install gave me an error on the --gecos option, saying it was an invalid option. So I removed it to get the install going, I can add the name later. But what gives, here. I used gecos back in the late 70s to mid-80s. Gecos 4 and 6 when I worked at AMC! Did a lot with the Codesyl database on online transaction processor.... Anyway, yeah, GECOS. My cuz worked for them too. So what is the format for --gecos when you want a space in the name field. And where are the GECOS fields described?

twm configuration
by Hiisi 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Dear all! I would like to use twm. As described in wiki [1] I'm typing xinit -e /usr/bin/twm in runlevel 3 to fire it up. It tries to start and first window titled 'LOGIN' appears at the left up corner of the screen. However it never asks me for username/passwd. It only states few times this warning: /usr/bin/twm: warning: font for charset ISO8859-13 is lacking And does nothing more. It doesn't hangs. i.e. it activates on mouse over and I can fold/unfold it. Here's the list of installed fonts: rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-fonts xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch I can't find ISO8859-13 fonts anywhere. What should I do? .twmrc seems to be missing on my system (I can't locate it). TIA REFERENCES https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/12/html/Deployment_Guide/s2-x-c… -- Avoid the Gates of Hell.

Yum - Different OS version and Arch
by Sawrub 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Running Fedora 14 x86_64, i was trying to search for a package using YUM. The search results lists multiple versions [Fc12, Fc13, Fc14] and different arch [i686 and x86_64], of which i just need it to list against Fc14 and x86_64. Why is this so, can we prevent this or is this a bad/undesirable feature in yum.

/var/cache/yum format
by Bill Davidsen 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

I'm somewhat confused by the many things found in vcy. On some machines there are directories for fedora, and updates, and no architecture notation. On some the same data is found in i386/14 or similar, while on other in i686/i386/14 has the same stuff. Is there rhyme or reason to this? And should my local repository have to look different to update each setup? Pointers to a document would be useful, my local repo would save a lot of time. -- Bill Davidsen<davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We can't solve today's problems by using the same thinking we used in creating them." - Einstein

Contents of install DVD vs CDs
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Does the F12 (and I suppose 13 and 14) install DVD have more on it than the install CDs? I know that yum points to the ''everything' repo which is more inclusive than the install CDs. I ask this because I just installed an Amahi system using a local repo built from the install CDs and many of the dependencies for Amahi are NOT met during the install. They, for the most part, get picked up later. I have enough disk on my repo server to hold the everything tree, but I am wondering if that is my problem, or if it is Amahi's.

Is anybody using Xournal? -- I have questions, and want recommendations.
by Bill Case 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hi; I am about to download Xournal, but before I try it out maybe I can get a few questions answered. I am currently reading a 260 page PDF document. I would like to be able to make the equivalent of margin notes to myself. I have and use gnotes and NoteCase each for different purposes. I would like to attach the margins notes at specific spots in the text (or seem to). The notes are for my own reference and are not necessarily intended to be shared. I don't want to directly edit the document. If Xournal is not the answer, do you have any suggestions on how I might go about making the equivalent of margin notes on a printed document. I imagine there would be a use for this in academic or policy making circles. Something for PDF documents would be good. Something that I could use on other types of documents as well would be better. -- Regards Bill Fedora 14, Gnome 2.32 Evo.2.32, Emacs 23.2.1
