Anyone know of a USB adapter for either 802.11 G or N supported under fc14 X86_64. That would seem to be the only way to fix my wife's ongoing problems. Thanks Mike D

wither pnmtops and pnmcrop
by Michael Hennebry 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Unable to figure out how to do what I wanted in gimp, I went looking for pnmcrop. I had gimp out because I hadn't been able to find pnmtops. Cropping stumped me, so I went looking again. Eventually I figured out that I didn't have the right package installed. yum provides told me netpbm. yum install netpbm ran to completion without complaint, but I still don't have any netpbm tools. I even did a find from / as root. Not there. What is going on and how do I fix it? I'm running FC14. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Pessimist: The glass is half empty.

what's the state of qemu-system-ppc virtualization in fedora 16?
by Robert P. J. Day 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

what little i know of PPC virtualization suggests that qemu-system-ppc is still a work in progress, at least on ubuntu which is what's running on one of my systems. so i'd like to switch back to fedora for what will be an extended adventure in virtualization. as a specific example, i have a lite5200 (MPC5200) board and i can easily configure a kernel: $ make ARCH=powerpc lite5200b_defconfig build that kernel, download that using the board's u-boot and boot that kernel, at least to the point where it falls over from lack of a root filesystem. (for now, i just want to verify that the kernel boots -- i'll worry about the root filesystem later.) for fun, i'd like to run that kernel under qemu as well, but i already know there will be problems. on the one hand, people suggest that MCP5200 qemu support is pretty good: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-08/msg02757.html on the other hand, i also had to download a debian package for openbios-ppc just to attempt to run that kernel using qemu-system-ppc under ubuntu, and that still didn't work (missing firmware). so, if i install fedora 16 and i have my u-boot ready kernel image, what are the chances of using qemu-system-ppc to simply start that kernel? and where's the current state of kvm docs for fedora 16? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Display resolution problems
by John Aldrich 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

I just did a fresh install of Fedora 16 on my system which has an integrated Geforce video card ( GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a/PCI/SSE2) and I *know* my monitor (flat panel 19" Dell LCD) is capable of 1280x1024, but I can't seem to get it to go to that resolution. I know it works, because A) I do it on my Dell Optiplex in Windows and B) I did it before in Fedora 15. Suddenly 1280x1024 is not an option. How do I fix this? I've installed the nVidia drivers and rebooted, but I still can't get 1280x1024. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

Fedora 13 workspace switcher - no "Number of workspaces" option
by Darlene Wallach 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

In the preferences for workspace switcher there is no option for choosing the number of workspaces. yum list *switch* and yum list *workspace* doesn't give a workspace switcher. Does anyone know what I should be looking for or what Gnome applet I should install? I have an even older Fedora 9 on my desktop computer that has the option for choosing the number of workspaces in workspace switcher, plus the help says there should be an option for choosing the number of workspaces. I know Fedora 13 is EOL. I haven't taken the time to install Fedora 15 yet. Thank you for any advice, tips, information Darlene Wallach -- equal justice under law

What is the capacity of a BD-R disk really?
by Tom Horsley 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

I thought I would test my blu-ray writer by backing up a bunch of big files to a BD-R. I used k3b which imagines there is 25GB of available space, so I added files till I was about to overflow that. Then I insert a blank BD-R disk (and hit bugzilla 742719), but I go ahead and tell it to burn, and growisofs (I think) gives an error saying that many files won't fit. So, I've got k3b telling me 25GB before it sees the media, 2.1TB after it sees the media, and growisofs not telling me a specific size, but saying I'm trying to write too much :-). It would sure be nice if there were a consistent answer here. Anyway, I keep pulling the smallest files out of the list till growisofs finally thinks it can burn the BD-R, and that runs for a while till it gets to about 98%, then gives an error saying the files won't fit, so the check it was doing earlier wasn't quite right. The last file it wrote gives I/O errors if I try to read it (but at least I can verify the checksums of all the other files). So, does anyone have any pointers to information on the actual capacity of BD-R disks? None of the tools on fedora seem to agree, and none of them appear to be correct either :-). (And web searches are remarkably fruitless on this topic). Is BD-R back to the days where you have to do a simulated write before you can get an actual answer? Or is it simpler just to provide about 3GB of slop to be sure everything fits?

Fc15 writing an iso on a dvd with k3b - Unable to mount DVD-R
by Gregory P. Ennis 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Everyone, I have a FC15 system that I am trying to create an iso image of Fc16 using k3b. I can not get k3b to recognize a blank DVD-R disk. I can mount and read other CD and DVD media without a problem, but I am unable to get FC15 to recognize an unformatted DVD. Are there other software packages besides k3b that allow creating disks from iso images? I am not sure if this is an fc15 problem or k3b, I am suspicious that this is an FC15 problem. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? Greg Ennis

system console redirection - all but boot messages redirected ttyS0?
by Morgan Read 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Hello Folks I'm running f14 (still) I've successfully configured my machine (hp ml150 g3) to redirect bios, grub menu and login prompt - but, between the grub menu and the login prompt I'm missing the boot messages. If I remove "quiet" from grub.conf's kernel line I get kernel messages reported to ttyS0, but leaving "quiet" in boot messages are report to tty0 but not ttyS0. Any pointers any one has would be much appreciated? (The most up-to-date information I've found seems to be here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Dracut_problems#Configure_a_seri… Anything else out there?)
