Can't get networking working in Fedora14
by Reg Clemens 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

I am just now bringing up Fedora14 (Ive been running Fedora11). Something has changed, since the way I have always done things to bring up networking just doen't work. I can setup /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 either by hand or using the system-config-network script, and everything LOOKS ok, but I can not ping this machine from the outside, nor can I ping from it to another machine on the same network. The hardware is fine, since I have Knoppix running on the machine at the moment (to verify that the machine and its cables were ok) and its networking came up just fine. So, what's changed between Fedora11 and Fedora14, other than setting up the above files (or using system-config-network) what do I need to do??? Thanks in advance. -- Reg.Clemens reg(a)dwf.com

Facebook on Fedora -- a couple of questions/suggestions.
by Bill Case 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hi; There has been a lot of action on the Facebook pages I belong to over the last couple of days about trojans and/or viruses. They all seem to be link related. I am pretty sure they cannot affect anything on Fedora, but I was wondering. They all seem M$ related. Facebook seems to be unaware of the concept of workspaces. If I am using a workspace that doesn't have my browser I get no notification of a posting or message or friendship request. The chat requests makes a sound. Any suggestions on how I might set up a notification monitor that shows in my system tray, or beeps or something like my email monitor. Looked in FB apps -- nothing. -- Regards Bill Fedora 14, Gnome 2.32 Evo.2.32, Emacs 23.2.1

Blurred Font Fedora 14
by Michael Liendl 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Dear Community, Today I switched from Ubuntu 10.10 to Fedora 14 and overall I am very happy with it. But there is one annoying issue: The font. Unlike on Ubuntu - where the fonts always were sharp/clear with smoothed edges (just perfectly readable) - fonts on Fedora look very blurred. Is there any possibility to solve this issue? I have already tried a lot of preferences regarding the font antialiasing. Sincerely, -- Michael Liendl

F13: Acroread (Adobe reader) on FF crashes with a defunct process.
by Dan Thurman 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Opening a PDF file within Firefox for the first time does start acroread and one can view a PDF document, however, it causes a defunct process preventing other PDF files from being viewed. As far as I can tell, I have to reboot to clear the defunct process before being able to use FF for PDF viewing. Outside of FF, PDF files can be viewed and no defunct processes are created, which leads me to believe that the problem is with FF. > ps -aux | grep acroread <me> 4277 2.3 0.0 0 0 ? Z 10:25 0:25 [acroread] <defunct> Latest versions: Fedora 2.6.34.8-68.fc13.i686 AdobeReader_enu-9.4.2-1.i486 firefox-3.6.16-1.fc13.i686

Linux on ARM tablets?
by Fernando Cassia 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

I'm not familiar with modern tablets. I only own a 4 years old Nokia N800, -which is more like a larger Linux PDA used sideways- before the "tablets" market and craze even existed. So, I'm not sure about what media the OS stored in on modern Android tablets. Do those feature flash memory chips soldered on the main board? SD slots? compactflash with IDE controller?. Having said that, I wonder if anyone tried installing linux on tablets that otherwise run Android or other OSs? I'm giving serious thought to buying a RIM Playbook, but I'm not sure I'll be comfortable with QNX The CPU is confirmed to be a dual-core TI ARM. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Blackberry-PlayBook-CPU-Confirmed-1GHz-Dual-… So what are the chances of RIM making it easy to replace the OS with Fedora/ARM? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM I really, really would like to see RedHat putting some effort into seeing Fedora running on modern tablets... if only for OS mindshare and promotional purposes...

Re: wifi troubleshooting
by Adam Tong 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hi, That's a very good idea. Is there any kind of dongles that are more suitable for fedora or I can pick any wifi enabled one? Thank you --- On Mon, 3/28/11, bruce <badouglas(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: bruce <badouglas(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: wifi troubleshooting To: "Community support for Fedora users" <users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Date: Monday, March 28, 2011, 4:35 PM Hi Adam. Since you have a usb port, do you have a separate usb/wireless dongle that you can insert in the usb port to see if it gets recognized by the OS. you can get cheap dlink wireless dongles to test (and then take back to the store!!). I've always got a cheap dlink to use as a test for usb ports. i think it's time to start at the basics, to isolate your issues here.

I appreciate your help. You know, this is an old laptop that came with windows. This is the kind of deal windows make with some manufacturers so that the os comes with the drivers of the manufacturer that was made for windows. When I formated my pc and I reinstalled windows (lost the original one) it did not detect it either. I had to download the driver even for windows. But in the manufacturers site I did not find anything for linux (http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us) Here is the info of my wifi card: WL-159g 802.11bg (USB2.0 WLAN) Manufacturer : ASUSTek Computer, Inc. ASUS A9 Series (A9T) (notebook) But i'm quite sure that a lot of other manufacturers do not provide drivers for linux. How linux do for recognizing those devices anyway?
