Mouse-wheel nudge left-right now generates key-presses, not buttons 6+7
by Neil Bird
Since upgrading to Fedora 14 from 12, I'm seeing my wheel-mouse
generating the *key* presses <Left> and <Right> instead of the expected
button clicks <button-6> and <button-7>.
This means that while it still works in, say, Firefox (where <Left> and
<Right> scroll the current view), and I can move my caret left and right
(!), it won't work anywhere else like it used to (e.g., directory tree views).
Any ideas how I can get the old functionality back?

[OT Humor] "Obviously designed by morons"
by John Wendel
I thought you guys might get a chuckle from this,
My wife just got a shiny new HP laptop with Windows 7 installed. She has
never used Windows before, having mainly used Gnome on Fedora boxes.
After a week of struggling, she just asked me to wipe Windows and
install Fedora so she can get some work done without fighting the
desktop. This is when she proclaimed that W7 was, "obviously designed by
morons".
I guess it depends on what you're familiar with. I personally thought W7
looked very polished. I suspect it could probably be tweaked to work
like Gnome, but why bother.
Regards,
John

recording from a webcam, cheese, vlc
by Ian Malone
Hi,
I'm trying to record from a webcam and getting terrible performance
from Cheese and problematic performance from VLC. Is anyone able to
either tell me how to get one of them working properly or suggest
another app that will work? Details (hardware at bottom)
Cheese cheese-2.30.1-1.fc13.x86_64, nice, simple to use. Recording
performance is awful. The booth framerate is fine, but as soon as I
start recording it drops dramatically (going from frames per second to
seconds per frame). VLC's ability to encode to the same target -
Theora/Vorbis (but see below) and the fact I can do this under windows
with the movie maker suggest a Cheese problem. Resolution is at
640x480 (which is what VLC and move maker are using), dropping to
355x288 is okay. This cheese bug seems to be related
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564957 but not resolved.
Anyone using F14 with good performance for cheese video recording?
VLC vlc-1.1.7-1.fc13.x86_64. Less friendly, for a start I haven't been
able to get it to capture by specifying devices in the capture dialog.
If I just open capture and hit play I get video and sound. I can use
/dev/video0 as the video input and after a bit of trial and error
(using debug mode I realise it was using alsa device names) pulse for
the audio device, but if I attempt to use the capture device advance
options (with or without specifying /dev/video0):
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2://'. Check the log for details.
~/.xsession-errors has this:
[0x7f2dfc0044e0] v4l2 demux error: invalid tuner -1.
[0x7f2dfc008240] v4l2 access error: invalid tuner -1.
[0x7f2e08008590] main input error: open of `v4l2://' failed: (null)
(Or tuner 0 which is what it defaults to, tried -1 as this appears to
be auto for other params)
But capturing to theora/vorbis results in video and audio playing at
different speeds, the default (which seems to be the ALSA hw device)
has video faster than audio, capturing to the default (mp4) or webm is
okay, using pulse and /dev/video0 webm video is slower than audio...
and so on. This most successful approach so far is to open the device
in play mode, use the 'advanced controls' record button and capture
uncompressed a/v to avi the transcode later. This would be sort of
endurable, but it would be nice to record transcoded and be able to
adjust the recorded size (camera can go up to 1280x720). I'd also like
to be able record both soundcard and webcam audio and video, but it
looks like that will never happen with Cheese and may be difficult
with VLC, so I may have to accept recording one separately and syncing
up later.

snd_hda_intel clobbers pcspkr
by updog
Independently pcspkr works fine for the PC speaker, and snd_hda_intel for the internal speakers, however the two modules don't work together. Loading snd_hda_intel after pcspkr is in and working causes loss of the terminal beep.
It's a problem in FC13; not sure about older releases or FC14.
How to best approach resolving this?

native texlive and yum
by Walter Cazzola
Dear Fedora Experts,
bored of the several problems of the texlive 2010 distribution for
fedora (see my previous message about the missed hyphenation and the
1-month old broken dependency on the latex binary) I have decides to
remove it and reinstall it through tlmgr.
That has been a great idea except for a couple of issues on some
*nonrelated" packages. To remove texlive yum forced the remotion of a2ps
and R-core (and few other but these are the most important for me) and I
can't reinstall them without reinstalling texlive (at least in part).
Now I've already installed texlive but not through yum and I'm wondering
why the rpm for these packages not really related to LaTeX and in
any case working also without LaTeX can't check for the bins instead of
the whole package.
Is there a way for forcing their installation without installing
texlive?
Thanks all for the help
Walter

I don't have LVM partitions - at least, I never set any up!!!

Indeed:
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached

Thanks all for the many suggestions!
Strangely, just after I sent my original mail, System Monitor suddenly
decided, all on its own, to add the 2GB swap partition....??????? I
think I must have a Gremlin somewhere!
Anyway, things appear to be (back to) "normal"!
Thanks again

CPU utilization
by Luc MAIGNAN
Hi,
I want to see and/or monitor cpu utilization. I have a server that have
24 processors (6 processor x 4 core).
top only gives me global information for cpu, not per cpu (and core)
Is there a tool or a way to have these informations ?

qemu update for fc13 broken?
by Bill Davidsen
I just installed the recent qemu update on my KVM server which hosts my VMs for
local services. I stopped all VMs, did the upgrade, and reboot. Now none of the
VMs respond to mouse or have sound.
Any thoughts? x86_64, all stock Fedora stuff, critical service (why I'm working
Saturday).

Why only unstable Chromium?
by Valent Turkovic
Hi Tom,
I have been using Chromium from your repo for some time now and it was
great so far, but lately (since F14) I notices more and more crashes.
Now I see that Chromium is based on unstable beta Chrome 11 core while
there is no Chromium package based on stable Chrome 10 version.
I tried running Chrome 10 for last few days and had zero page crashed
while using same pages with Chromium 11 I get constant page crashes.
I would like to ask if it is possible to rebase Chromium package on
stable version of Chrome 10.
Thank you,
Valent.
