Fedora12 keyboard choice setting is not respected.
by Leslie S Satenstein
Living in Canada and working bilingually, my keyboard is Canada French ca(fr). It is not USA.
I run Fedora12 in English, but the keyboard is the one I mentioned. Here is the problem that recently started to occur.
When I chose my logon, Gnome shows USA as the keyboard. If I do not change it, then the USA keyboard will take precedence over my logged in Gnome settings. Furthermore, if I go to System-->preferences-->keyboard, it shows Canada as default, and USA as behind it. Even though I click on Canada, I cannot get rid of the USA settings until I delete it.
If I log out and return, the problem returns.
What can I do to correct this aggravating annoyance? My problem never occurred with earlier Fedora versions (example F4 to F12 pre-February)
Is the USA default forced because I chose English as my basic language. It was no problem in the past, why is it one now?

Charging USB devices with Fedora
by Ambrogio
Hi all,
I had 2 different MP3 player that require USB connection to recharging
it.
My problem is that I can't be able to charge them.
USB Connection is good, I can transfer data from and to the devices but
battery doesn't charge.
Searching on the web I found something about USB drivers required, or
about some echo to be done on special files.
I can't be able to done the job.
I have two Laptop, one with fedora 10 and one with fedora 12, even if I
think problem isn't on the version of O.S.
There is someone that can help me solving the question?
Bye

Suspend-to-RAM--resume: keyboard problem
by Serguei Miridonov
Hello,
I have the following problem: after several days of up time with 2-3
suspend-to-RAM--resume cycles every day some keys stop working. The
problem appears to be in X server: I can switch user in KDE and start
a new X server where keyboard works as expected. I can even save key
mapping with xmodmap and then partially restore keyboard functionality
in the X session with broken keys.
I have filed a bug but there is no any confirmation from developers or
other users:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574666
Any idea?
Serguei.

suspicious f12 usb drive behavior
by Tom Horsley
I'm off to gather more data, but I'm developing a deep
suspicion that something with external usb disk support
ain't right in fedora 12 x86_64.
With both the native usb on my motherboard and a
pcie usb card, if I copy the fedora 13 alpha x86_64
DVD to the usb drive, the sha256sum checksum
test fails on the copy.
If I do the same copy on the same hardware booted
from my old fedora 10 x86_64 partition, the copy
correctly matches the sha256sum test.
Anyone else with suspicious usb drive results
on large files?
It will take a while, but I'm off to try this several
times on both fedora 12 and fedora 10. If my results
are consistent, I guess I'll submit a bugzilla
(against the kernel?).

"No more mirrors are available" popup box
by Gregory Hosler
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,
Which applet/deamon/cron job is responsible for popping up this dialog box ?
I have a local repository configured in my yum repos, so this applet/deamon/cron
job is not finding any mirrors (which it shouldn't even be looking for, in this
case).
The window icon is the same as the [System] -> [Administration] -> [Add/Remove
Software] icon.
Any suggestions as to how to turn this off?
Thank you, and all the best,

Installing FC12 on MBP 5,2
by Henrik Frisk
Hi,
I want to install Fedora 12 32bit on my MacBook Pro 5,2. I downloaded
the Live CD but that wouldn't boot giving me the following message:
nouveau 0000:02:00.0 PRAMIN flush timeout
and nothing ater that (similar to what is described in this thread:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=234023). If I added
nomodeset to the boot parameters the system loaded but froze before
when the vertical bars reached the end. If I boot without graphical
interface the system boots and I get a prompt but I can't start x
(result = black screen).
I have downloaded the DVD install instead and will see if that makes a
difference (I found a thread that said it might but I can't find it
now...). I will see if the DVD makes a difference and report back any
findings.
I also wanted to ask advice on how (where) to install. I'm currently
in a dual boot configuration (using reffit) with OSX and Fedora 11
which works great. I want to keep my FC11 install intact until I have
everything up and running in FC12 and if possible install FC12 on the
same disk. Is this a good/bad idea? Would it be better to install FC12
on a USB disk to begin with (that doesn't seem good to me but I know
very little about these things).
Thanks for any advice.
best,
/Henrik
