Fedora 12 shutdown hangs (after recent kernel update)
by JayLinux
On doing Shutdown as Normal User, there is a quick scroll of messages
(similar to those at login) and it then hangs with a blinking cursor
at the top left of the screen. I noticed this after a recent update
that included a new kernel.
2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE
Trying to shutdown through a virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2) after
logging in as root also did not help. There was a blinking cursor on
top left of the screen and the PC hung there with C-A-Del having no
effect.
Is there any place to look for possible Shutdown Error Message / logs ?

Real Audio
by AnneMarie Robinson
Thanks for previous help--I can now listen to WBGO & WNYC, but WAMU uses a Real Audio player, and how do I get it to play with either Totem or Rhythmbox? Thank you.

Upgrading i686 vs. x86_64. Just checking !
by Bill Case
Hi;
I am using a *fc12.x86_64 machine. I just now upgraded several packages
with yum (yumex) and noticed several i686 packages being upgraded as
well. Is this normal? Are some packages I have using i686 when I
should have only *.86_64 on my machine? Should I remove ALL i686
packages or just leave them alone? I am not overly concerned; just
wondering.

NetworkManager 0.8?
by Chris Smart
Greetings,
Is there an official/unofficial F12 repository which has
Networkmanager 0.8 installed? My uni wireless is Windows based and
doesn't work with 0.7. Apparently this is working in 0.8.
I'd rather not have to build it myself, if there's a repo I can add.
Thanks,

Installing Fedora Core 12 on a system with a IT8212 SATA Controller
by Iain Davis
Hi.
I have a machine whose only hard drive is a SATA 160GB (Western
Digital). The SATA controller is an ITE IT8212 (a raid controller, but
I'm not using that feature).
The OS on the machine is Windows XP, but I'll be wiping that out and
replacing it with Fedora 12 Core. However, when I boot from the Fedora
12 DVD and run the installer, I reach the point where you select the
language, U.S. English, click next and it pops up a micro-dialog
saying its searching for disk drives...which it sits on for a long
while. Then the dialog goes away...but it doesn't progress to the next
screen.
I'm currently assuming that it can't find the SATA drive, but I was
hoping for some help, since I'm not comfortable with how Fedora's
install process works.
Thanks,
Iain

Setting custom screen resolution
by Bill Davidsen
I remember there being a app which helped generate custom parameters for video
drivers. I would like to get some custom resolutions:
768x12426
900x14562
1024x16568
1920x1186
1280x791
1024x632
Does anyone have a low effort way to generate mode lines?
