kmod-catalyst breaks install with ATI HD4570
by Guilherme Patriota 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Anyone else have broken a fedora install installing kmod-catalyst? The graphic card is HD4570, I've installed it 3 times and all 3 times I've installed it broke the system. The second time I managed to uninstall it, but not in the first or third time I've installed it.

No sound over hdmi after suspend
by Karol Babioch 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, I'm on Fedora 14 with the following sound setup: I've got my television connected over hdmi using the onboard graphics card of the Core i3 550. Futhermore I have a sound system connected to my mainboard using TOSLINK. This works great right after the reboot. However after a suspend I have no sound on my television. There must be something wrong within one of the sound modules. I've also tried a vanilla 2.6.37 kernel, which hasn't resolved this issue :(. In order to get this fixed (and to get sound without rebooting time and again) I need to figure out which is the responsible module. My guess would be snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi. However I can't figure out how to reload this module. Neither rmmod nor modprobe seem to work and both claim that the module is still in use. The force parameter doesn't help :(. I've also tried to unload the whole sound stack, but there are a lot of modules and I can't figure out how to unload even just one of them: [root@htpcf ~]# lsmod | grep -i snd snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi 9993 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek 298572 1 snd_hda_intel 24479 1 snd_hda_codec 86743 3 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 6392 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 80190 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 19892 1 snd_pcm snd 63984 9 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 6576 1 snd snd_page_alloc 7559 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm What would be the right way (order) to unload snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi? Best regards, Karol Babioch

Brasero has lost its mind!
by Richard Shaw 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

I've had the problem for some time where after burning the CD/DVD get's mounted and then Brasero gives an error saying it can't eject the disk. It wasn't effecting the burns so I ignored it. Today I tried to burn a CD ISO file (system rescue cd) and after a bad burn I tried again. Now, even after a reboot, it calculates the checksum and then ejects the blank disc. Brasero has been buggy for me (and apparently others, I've found) for a while. Shouldn't the default burning app for Gnome get a little more attention? Anyone else having issues? I know I can install k3b but brasero should work and I don't like having to install all the dependencies (i.e. half of KDE) just to burn a disc. Thanks, Richard

Screen goes black but set not to in preferences
by Florian Ludwig 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

Hi, my laptop's (Thinkpad X201t) screen goes black if I don't use it for some time (between 6 and 15 minutes). In the gnome power management preferences the option "Put display to sleep when inactive for" is set to never - for both "On AC Power" and "On Battery Power". This also happens if watching a movie using totem. If an external monitor is connected both screens go black but the external one gets back on after like 3 seconds. Video card: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) CPU model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU L 620 @ 2.00GHz Package Versions: xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64 1.9.4-1.fc14 xorg-x11-drv-intel.x86_64 2.12.0-6.fc14.1 kernel.x86_64 2.6.35.11-83.fc14 I've tried setting some X.org config stuff I've found search the web about this problem: (here quote from Xorg.0.log) [ 51.714] (**) Option "BlankTime" "0" [ 51.714] (**) Option "StandbyTime" "0" [ 51.714] (**) Option "SuspendTime" "0" [ 51.714] (**) Option "OffTime" "0" But it seems nothing changed. I am really happy for any pointers anyone can provide how to solve this. Thank you in advance, Florian

Hi, I want to connect to my SSH server using the Remote Desktop Viewer on Fedora. But when I go to "Connect" I have no option to choose "SSH" as protocol. There is only "VNC" available. What can I do to enable this option like it is on Ubuntu. Best regards, -- Michael

rdiff-backup problem
by Benjamin 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

Hello everyone! Since this weekend (and i also remember that problem to have occured earlier) i have a problem with rdiff-backup. When I try to backup my files (with the same command a always used) i get the following error (see below). At first a few notes on my behavior: I normally backup all my files with the command see below. Because that did not work with the following response: [root@Banjo Benji]# rdiff-backup '/home/Benji' '/media/Banjos_Wissen/Backup-Banjo' Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now. ^[[D^[[DSpecialFileError .gdesklets/sockets/%3A0.0 Socket error: AF_UNIX path too long ListError .gtk-bookmarks/.gvfs [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/Benji/.gvfs' UpdateError Downloads/rdiff-backup.tmp.64562 [Errno 84] Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character: '/media/Banjos_Wissen/Backup-Banjo/rdiff-backup-data/increments/Downloads/330 -

Hi all, looking for information on open source linux camera driver that can handle dual image (dual lens) cameras (i.e. camera does not process the images into a single stereo image). Thanks, JD
