F14 on a Dell Inspiron Duo (N550, flip touchscreen, tablet/laptop)
by linux guy 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Will F14 run on this and support the touchscreen ? http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/inspiron-duo/pd http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/30/dell-inspiron-duo-review/ This guy is running Ubuntu 10.10 on it. I don't recognize the UI. I'm a KDE guy. I like how it zooms in as a touchscreen. and I like the pop up touch keyboard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGlPvnW6mgU Will Fedora do all this as well as Ubuntu ? Thanks !

Bluetooth default in F14
by Frode Petersen 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hi. Bluetooth seems to be on as default. If I turn it off, it's on again after reboot. Is there a way to set the default to off without disabling it completely? I want to turn it on only when I need it. Frode Petersen

Problems with Flash 64 beta audio AND with 32bit Flash w/ nsplugin video
by Claude Jones 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

I finally got around to researching the problem with the Flash 64 plugin from Adobe and certain audio - I found that there were issues with that plugin and mp3 audio which caused a crackly audio with certain sites. The recommendation was to use nsplugin and the 32 bit Flash plugin. I've done that, but now I get mysterious white bars which flash across the screen, both horizontally and vertically when I play flash video, such as video on the CNN site. I'm running Fedora 14 with all the latest updates. Anyone found this, and have a solution? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA

KDE problem on Lenovo R61
by grzebia 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hi all! I am facing a problem with Qt, i guess, on Lenovo R61. What the problem? When I install KDE, it is almost not usable. When I run some app it is starting in short time, and it working fine. But after minimization it to tray/panel, and trying to maximize it, I have to wait for 2-3 sec until whole window is drawn on the screen. Sometimes it border appears at the end, sometimes whole window looks like it was cut from desktop or other window, and after 2-3 sec it is usable. My machine isn't monster of speed, so I tried: -disable desktop effects - no difference -change windows decorations - no difference -disable kwin, enable compiz instead - no difference What is strange: when I run some QT apps on gnome, I have the same problems and few more (wind is not refreshing, context menu isn't displayed properly) I have: 2,5 GB of RAM nVidia G84M [Quadro NVS 148M] Intel core 2 Duo 2,1 Ghz Fedora 14 KDE 4.5 2.6.34.7-66 kernel nVidia 173xx driver But I think that kernel driver isn't a case here, I have this problem since 2 years, but now I am really eager to resolve it. Gnome is working smoothly, i am using it every day. I wanted to try some other distro to check it is Fedora specific problem, but I have to many data on this computer to check this :( Some one have similar problem on this hardware configuration and resolved it? -- Best regards grzebia

Virtual Box & Windows -
by Bob Goodwin 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

I've installed "virtualbox" on this F-14 computer and it appears to be working, however now I need a copy of Windows to run in it in order to solve my other problem. I have several copies of WindowsXP Pro including the one that came with this computer but refuses to run unless that drive is plugged into the first slot. That problem occurs because initially I had a computer failure and elected to replace the computer and install the hard drives from the failed unit into the "new" one. The old one had a Windows partition that was selectable from grub and would operate normally if needed. Once the drives were swapped into this computer and Windows selected it would protest that perhaps I had a virus and refuse to boot. :-) The details go on and on but my question is would I have to buy a copy of Windows to use virtualbox or is there a way to make it use the original copy on the disk containing WindowsXP that came with this computer? If I swap data cables around Windows still boots. It is installed by itself on an 80 gig sata drive. Bob --

Thunderbird tree grouping mode
by Marco Maccaferri 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hi. I have recently installed thunderbird 3.1.9 from Remi repository on Fedora 10 x86/64. It is configured to group discussions as a tree, it works but sometimes it display a discussion collapsed (only one row in the message list) and there is no way to expand it. Click on it displays a summary of all messages, clicking on the arrow does nothing. Clicking anywhere on the summary does nothing. In short there is no way to see the actual messages. When the discussion is expanded, as it should be, the tree arrow works as expected, collapsing and expanding the tree correctly. Please forgive me if this isn't the more appropriate mailing list to post this message to, but I'm not sure what is the cause. It is a thunderbird issue ? It is something on this Remi release ? More important, is there a fix or workaround ? Regards, Marco

25 Mar '11

I followed the advice here: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Bridged_networking_.28aka_.22shared… Working, but one thing strange. My enet I/F on the host used to be eth1. Now it says it's the bridge br0. Is this as expected? br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:81:B1:49:F8 inet addr:10.32.111.113 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:81ff:feb1:49f8/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1665233 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2446635 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:173668560 (165.6 MiB) TX bytes:2928481244 (2.7 GiB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:81:B1:49:F8 inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:81ff:feb1:49f8/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5073158 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5066467 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3649574236 (3.3 GiB) TX bytes:5083712432 (4.7 GiB) Interrupt:17 Memory:fdee0000-fdf00000 Setup: cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 # Intel Corporation 82573V Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR=00:e0:81:b1:49:f8 ONBOOT=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME=nbecker6 BOOTPROTO=dhcp TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes IPV6INIT=no NM_CONTROLLED=no BRIDGE=br0 cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 NM_CONTROLLED=no DHCP_HOSTNAME=nbecker6 STP=on
