video hardware advice and dual logins
by Chris Kottaridis 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

I am putting together a machine and plan to run Fedora Core 12 on it. I want to run with 2 monitors and am wondering if there is some preferred video card I should buy that can provide two monitors. I will only be doing web browsing and text editing and such. I don't need anything fancy. I won't be runinng any games on this or watching DVD's. Is there any list of video cards that Fedora Core 12 is known to work with in a dual monitor setup ? What I want to do is have two distinct logins. So, I can log in as one user on one monitor and log in as a different user on the other monitor but just have the one keyboard. Basically, gdm running on both monitors and hot switch the keyboard from one to the other. Everything I have seen talks about setting up things to have both monitors used by one user and essentially get one bigger monitor. So, any pointers to how to set up dual monitors with separate users logging in would be great. Right now I login as one user and then start a VNC session as another user and operate like that. I'd rather not do that if possible. Thanks Chris Kottaridis

Busted installer for F13
by Gene Heskett 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Greetings all; Trying to see if F13 is something I want to use, so its installing on my laptop. Unforch when I get to the window of install choices, it unchecks the graphical desktop if I check software devel, and a web server choice unchecks everything else. What genius thought that was a good idea? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

copy and paste
by Dennis Kaptain 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

I've noticed that copy/paste isn't working as it used to. Highlight text by dragging mouse over it to copy middle click to paste. It seems now I need to type <Ctrl> C to copy and <Ctrl> V to paste. Is there a setting that could have changed that altered this behavior? this is a fully updated F11 system.

fc12, netbook, 3 button mouse control
by jack craig 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Hi Folks, I am using fc12 on my netbook including a wireless logitech mouse. Despite cruzin the mouse preferences config context, i dont find a fix for the following problem. while i can use the left button to hilight(select) text in an xterm, pressing the middle scroll wheel does not do the paste operation. doing copy & paste works via right button, but that is a longer process. where am i missing this feature control? thx, jackc... -- Jack Craig Software Engineer 831.461.7100 x120 www.extraview.com

RLIMIT_DATA problem: NOTABUG?
by Matt McCutchen 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

I tried to prevent buggy programs from bringing my system to a halt by setting an RLIMIT_DATA with "ulimit -d", but I discovered that the limit has no effect due to a glibc behavior. I reported this as a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569714 I am convinced that this is an infelicitous behavior that deserves at least a WONTFIX, but the assignee seems equally convinced that it is NOTABUG, and I do not understand the terse justification given. I don't want to go on reopen warring forever. Could I please have an outside opinion? -- Matt

How Do I ...
by Gene Poole 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

All, I've got a machine running Fedora 11 and this machine has got 2 - built-in 1 Gig NICs and a expansion card with 4 - 100 Meg NICs. For whatever reason at install time, it made the expansion card eth0 through eth3 and the internal ports eth4 and eth5. And by default the 'machine' is known on the network by the eth0 NIC, so my throughput is limited to 100 Mb. How can I force the internal NICs to be eth0 and eth1? Thanks, Gene Poole gene.poole(a)macys.com

CD/DVD automount in Fedora 12
by Andrew Junev 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Hi All, This is a strange question, perhaps... How do I _enable_ CD-ROM automount on Fedora 12 machine? I have Fedora 12 running MythTV. Previously CDs/DVDs were mounted automatically each time I insert a disk into the drive. Recently I noticed it doesn't happen any longer - I have to do it manually. I guess I messed something up in the configuration, so that automount feature does not work any longer. I tried searching on the web, but I only found discussions on how to _disable_ automount in F12 - that's something I already did (not by purpose, of course) and I want to get things back to normal. :) So what's the best way to bring automount back? P.S. I don't need a file browser or any other application to activate when I insert a disc. I just want the disc content to be accessible by the system... -- Best regards, Andrew

New video card
by Gene Heskett 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Greets all; I have a PNY, PCI-e, GForce 9400 GT card still in the box. What sort of support will it have with the neauvou (sp) driver when I install F13 beta? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
