It still fails with: 2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686.PAE NetworkManager-0.8.1-4.git20100817.fc13.i686 Perhaps I should add that it is using nouveau and no xorg.conf. Thanks again.

You need to do some diagnosis with submitting a Bugzilla report as your goal or, hopefully, finding the problem. With regard to the report, heep in mind that the better the evidence, the more likely you are to get a fix. For starters, have a look at /var/log/pm-suspend.log. The actions taken in suspending and resuming are recorded there. Look for actions that are not recorded as 'success' or 'not applicable'. Towards the end, if everything is working, you should see something like: Thu Sep 2 14:32:17 PDT 2010: performing suspend Thu Sep 2 16:21:02 PDT 2010: Awake. Thu Sep 2 16:21:02 PDT 2010: Running hooks for resume You might also have a look at http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/power/basic-pm- debugging.txt Good luck. Geoff. Thanks again for your help. Before the update to NetworkManager, pm-suspend looks fairly straightforward, with the "resume" section starting with the line showing date, time, and the word "Awake". After the update the suspend is identical, but the resume section is completely missing. Not even the Awake comment! That makes it difficult for me to do anything. Dave

Can't link atlas or cblas libraries
by Henrik Mannerström 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hello, On my Fedora 11, when I try to compile a program that uses BLAS the linking fails: > /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcblas I have packages blas, blas-devel, atlas and atlas-devel installed. There exists a symlink for libcblas.so: /usr/lib64/atlas/libcblas.so -> ./libcblas.so.3.0 but 'ldconfig-p' does not find it, only the so.3-file: libcblas.so.3 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/atlas/libcblas.so.3 . What should I do to be able to compile programs with BLAS and LAPACK? Do I need to complete the installation of the devel-packages by hand? Best regards, Henrik Mannerström

What's the Best Firefox-64 Multimedia Plugin?
by Jonathan Ryshpan 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Flash is not available for Firefox-64. But there are several frameworks that play (just about) everything that Flash will, in particular mplayer, xine,and gstreamer. There are plugins for mozilla that rely on these frameworks: gstreamer via totem and mplayer. Probably also on xine. Are there others plugin methods? Which is best (in your opinion)? Thanks - jon

erlang-doc - dubious dependencies
by Mike Williams 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hi there. Recently I was at a meeting where erlang came up in the conversation. Curious about the language I decided to install the documentation using: yum install derlang-doc Yum proceeded to install 59 packages, erlang-doc and 58 others. I just wanted to look at the documentation, it seems strange that the docs should depend on the packages they are documenting. rpm -q --filesbypkg erlang-doc shows that all of the files are in /usr/share/doc Mike

umount cifs
by Jonathan Velleuer 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Dear all, I'm using the cifs protocol from the samba-client package (3.4.8-59.fc12.i686) on my linux machine (2.6.32.16-150.fc12.i686) to mount a remote windows share drive. Mounting and accessing the windows share through this protocol works very well. I just noticed a while ago that umount of that drive might not work entirely as expected. (not sure if it matters that the windows share on the windows machine is formatted with the NTFS format) When I umount the windows share it disappears from the list when invoking mount and also # lsmod |grep cifs reports 2 instead of 3. but cat /proc/fs/cifs/Stats reports after umounting that Resources in use CIFS Session: 1 and lists the share. If I turn of the windows machine the load on my computer rapidly increases from <0.05 to >0.30 and remains on this level for hours/days until I turn the windows machine on again. Too this sounds like that I'm doing something wrong when I attempt to unmount the share. So my question is if I am doing something wrong when unmounting? Many thanks in advance, Jon

Aren't upgrades demanding too much restarts?
by Andre Costa 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Latest F13 upgrades include two packages that "require" a restart: evolution-data-server and GtkHTML. ... ?! Is it really necessary to *reboot* because two desktop components have been upgraded? Shouldn't a logout/login be enough? This sounds like overkill, specially if you're the only one using the computer (i.e. there are no other users using those libraries/services besides you -- *if* you're using them). I don't even use Evolution! Isn't there any more clever way of determining if a reboot is really necessary? Or maybe at least the message should be less "demanding", I don't know... it really seems unneeded. I used to be proud of Linux only needing a reboot when the kernel (or some key component) was upgraded. This is sadly feeling like "those good old times" :-( Regards, Andre
