Name resolution
by Tanguy Eric 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Since few days now i have a name resolution problem. For example when i entrer a new address in firefox it returns that the name can't be resolved. Reloading the page and firefox display fine the page. I have the same problem from thunderbird or cli using yum. The network is up using network manager with ethernet and dhcp. The name server is the box ip. This configuration is the same as other pc on the same network and these pc don't have any problem so i think the problem is specific to this f15 machine but i don't how to investigate. Any help ? Thanks Eric

High CPU usage when copying files to USB mass storage device
by 某因幡 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hi, I've tried to copy some different files to an USB flash disk and an USB HDD and tried different USB hubs. After a while the system gets very slow, switching between windows can take quite a while. The copying speed is slow, too(only several MB/s to an empty USB HDD). The machine is not old, just bought it this year. And on the same machine the same problem is not seen on Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. Any ideas? -- language: Chinese, Japanese, English

Need Support For Latest Hardware?
by Navdeep Singh Sidhu 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

As i wrote my problem some weeks ago, that Fedora 15 or any other linux version didn't run on my Laptop.I got two problems:- 1. My screen goes Black on booting Linux. 2.I got Intel error with following message > - Dropping to debug shell. > sh: can't access tty: job control turned off > dracut:/# > I can run any game or softwares on my system using windows. I'm possessed with Linux,but i can't use Linux on my system. I have contacted Dell technical support for help regarding this problem. They told me that there will be no option in BIOS to disable one of my graphics card. So the problem remains same. They told me that nVIDIA is primary graphics card in my laptop & Intel HD3000 is secondary graphics card. And also as i'm using i-7 processor that support's some kind of architecture that has to use both of graphics card & i can't disable any of them. in short, they said that my laptop's hardware architecture supports only both card option & i can't disable any of them. But i don't believe them, there is no such architecture in which we can't disable one of the graphics card. Hardware manu. companies designs motherboard in such way that if one of graphics card fails (like let nVidia fails in most of the cases)then automatically it switches to inbuilt VGA (Intel HD 3000) or secondry vga. I'm not sure about my statement but i think so. But if they are true, then this means any of linux distro can't support my hardware. So we have to design such kernel that supports all the hardwares & architectures. Can we design this kind of kernel? it doesn't matters what the problem is, may be it is nvidia's optimus drivers that they have not given to add in Linux kernel or any architecture problem that is not supported by Linux. the main thing is that Linux Doesn't have solution for both problem. It applies to all Distros. So can open source programmers design such kernel or not ? Or i haave to wait for next 10 years to use Linux on my Laptop. Regards, Navdeep Singh

New Boinc 6.12.33 doesn't work with Fedora?
by Michael D. Setzer II 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

There is a new version of Boinc 6.12.33, but neither the client or manager seems to work with Fedora. The previous 6.12.28 client would work, but the manager failed. The new client thou does work with the older manager. The issue seems to be libraries. I backed up the Boinc directory before doing the upgrade, so it was easy to restore it. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

gnu linux update question
by Peter G. 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

It is common knowledge that one does not need to reboot for updates to take effect in GNU Linux. However, in actual practice, this is not so. I could cite many examples, but this should suffice: On Sunday evening, I installed a new updates-testing version of mesa and then I suspended the machine for the night. The following Monday morning (yesterday), I resumed the machine and suspended it again around noon. I again resumed the machine at about suppertime and _powered_ _it_ _down_ about 2 hours later. An hour or two after that, I powered it back up and the mesa testing update turned out to be bad and I was not able to log in. I did not know which program was at fault, because the bad program had been installed over 24 hours prior, but was only showing itself to be bad after a power off. Could someone explain how reboots are not needed in Linux for updates to _take_, given the evidence to the contrary.

A comment on yum-updatesd
by Patrick O'Callaghan 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

I just installed the above, thinking it would be useful, but it turns out it doesn't seem to do the one thing I want it for: update metadata periodically (without downloading the actual packages). I haven't altered any of the config defaults, nor any of those in yum.conf, yet when I use yum after a few hours of inactivity it visits the repos (and if I do it again it doesn't, so the cache is working). What am I doing wrong? Or do I misunderstand what y-u-d is all about? poc
