text mode
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
On a fedora 13 machine, after a recent release (around dec. 22nd), I
lost the possibility to move from the graphic mode to the text mode
by using the Atl+Ctl Fx command.
The graphic mode switch off, but no text appears.
How can I log/debug this problem ?
thank.

crontab
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
To have the same shell running twice a week, I am using crond and
anacron if I understand correctly. I have a file in /etc/cron.weekly
(file.cron)
and I also schedule the same file from crontad -e.
However, it appears that I have the same file command
(/etc/cron.weekly/file.cron) started at 2 slightly different times
started at Sun Dec 26 03:04:01 GMT 2010
and at:
started at Sun Dec 26 03:00:01 GMT 2010
according to my log files. This is a real problem.
How, can I run a cron file twice a week ?
Thank.

Warning about Gnome Shell
by Aaron Konstam
If you logout or shutdown while in in Gnome Shell your menus under
Applications in Gnome will be changed. So to fix this you be out of Gnme
Shell when you logoff, and then login again.

Partition changes while install F14
by Shane Dawalt
I was hoping to use anaconda's GUI interface to repartition my
hard drive while installing F14, but I ran into a problem with
anaconda's custom layout option. (I currently have F9 installed.)
After I resize the partition then re-edit the partition and choose the
Format option, anaconda tends to forget the size I entered and resets
it to the original size. After playing with this a while, I chose to
continue with installation . This caused anaconda to throw an
exception having to do with partition information.
I can use a character-based partitioning tool, but it's been years
since I've used one. Is there one that is preferred?

Bugs in yum for fedora 14 ?
by Sjoerd
Bugs in Yum for Fedora 14
Dear list,
I'm trying to use my own repository for yum and encountered some strange things in yum.
First of all yum doesn't understands an aliased domain name.
When I put an alias like ftp.example.com it just uses example.com.
Second. When I put the baseurl in the /etc/yum.repos.d as http://ftp.example.com/ it tries to download from
ftp://example.com/
Is there any misconfiguration on my part or is it yum that wants exact addresses of where to get the packages from.

hard freezes on f14
by Genes MailLists
Since moving from f13 to f14 (fresh install) on my laptop (lenovo T61p)
using nouveau driver - I have found that leaving the laptop plugged in
and with mail and browser running via wifi -
Once in a while (3 times so far) it will just freeze - when I return to
it the only response I can get is to power cycle it hard.
The lights are on - the wifi light is blinking - the disk light is off.
The /var/log/messages stops recording from the freeze point till i
hard reboot.
smart says disk seems ok - machine has never crashed under 12 or 13.
Very odd ...

Quantifying X performance
by Ian Pilcher
The Gallium update to the ATI driver seems to have made X performance
much worse on my system. Obviously though, "feels slower" isn't exactly
specific. Is there a program out there that will measure X performance?
(I do know about glxgears, and it does report a 20X lower frame-rate on
Fedora 14 that it did on Fedora 13, but it also says that it is "Running
synchronized to the vertical refresh", so I don't think it's a valid
metric.)
Thanks!

NetworkManager won't become "active"
by Alex
Hi,
I just rebooted my FC14 x86_64 desktop, and there's no networking. I
have a bridge set up with eth0, and despite my best efforts, can't get
eth0 to be "active" in "Network Device Control". The activate/deactive
buttons are greyed out.
At one point I was able to click Activate, but even then it wouldn't
actually activate it. For now, I've just run "ifup br0" and it
successfully acquired a DHCP address.
I've tried variations of "Controlled by NetworkManager" and other
ideas I've read in similar threads (mostly from a few years ago), with
no success.
Here are the contents of /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices
ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=48:5b:XX:61:b5:5c
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
TYPE=Ethernet
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
ifcfg-br0:
DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
DELAY=0
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=yes
There are a few syslog entries in messages that might help:

I hope that's legible. What does that mean? Trying to restart the dbus service:

[root@alex network-scripts]# service dbus restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart dbus.service
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to connect to socket
/org/freedesktop/systemd1/private: Connection refused
There is also a computer with a red X in the top panel.
Where can I find a good overview of how this all works and interacts
with udev? I would like to learn everything about it eventually, but
for now where can I learn the basics about how it makes decisions on
how the networking works?
Thanks,
Alex

Re: Problem with Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000 - gnomeradio

Same here. Analog radio for this card seems to be broken
in the fedora kernel (FC 14).
"dmesg" shows that it is recognized:
----------------------------
[ 10.278270] tveeprom 0-0050: has radio, has IR receiver, has no IR transmitter
[ 11.110628] cx88[0]/0: registered device radio0
----------------------------
But none of the readio related tools does find a station.
There card is fine with analog radio under windows so it must be
a kernel issue I guess.
