rEFIt and fedora 16 install
by Matt Morgan
I've installed f16 on a macbook pro and understand that I might be able to
get it to boot if I run gptsync from a rEFIt disc. But I cannot eject the
install disc in order to burn the rEFIt disc. I found the eject menu but it
doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt

No wireless (waiting for authorization) after awake from suspend
by Gene Smith
F15 on new HP dv7-6195 (i7/sandy bridge) cannot regain wireless
connection after awake from suspend. In KDE, I see notification "waiting
for authorization" and then a "key" icon appears over the wireless icon
in tray. In gnome, a dialog pops up with my wireless key (correctly
filled in) for me to confirm. After confirming, it keeps popping back up
every 30 seconds or so. Never asks for my password, just wireless key.
It is set to be stored in encrypted file.
Wired ethernet connection works fine before and after suspend and
wireless works fine only before suspend.
I have tried rmmod / modprobe to remove / add back the wireless driver.
Also, set selinux to permissive thinking it might be that type of problem.
Only reboot, so far, brings wireless back.
Any ideas?

RS880 Audio Device (Radeon HD 4200) HDMI sound interface difficulties
by Gregory P. Ennis
Everyone,
I have a new install of F16 on a Gateway laptop with an ATI Movility
Radeon HD4250 that I am not able to get any sound output through an hdmi
interface. I believe that I have the sound interface selected
appropriately. The speakers on the laptop work fine, but there is no
sound to the hdmi. I have also tested the hdmi receiver with a
different laptop and it is working satisfactorily.
Does anyone know if there are special drivers that are needed for this.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks much,
Greg Ennis

F16: Rhythmbox fails to sync iPod Classic
by Steven F. LeBrun
I received an iPod Classic (160GB/2009 model) and have been trying to
get it to sync using Rhythmbox. Every time that I attempt to sync the
iPod using Rhythmbox, Rhythmbox crashes. It does not appear to crash
the same way each time. At first, an error dialog box was appearing
just before the crash stating that a plugin was missing, without stating
which plugin or what it was for. Now I am getting sigabrt (signal 6),
sigsegv (signal 11) and sigfpe (signal 8).
First is anyone successfully syncing both MP3 music files and MP3
podcast files?
Any suggestions as to what is wrong, how to get more diagnostics and/or
how to fix the problem will be greatly appreciated.
Note, Rhythmbox appears to see the iPod. It shows up on the Devices
list and Rhythmbox can play music from the iPod. The Syncs are only
partially success; some music and podcast files get copied to the iPod
but not all of them.
Rhythmbox: rhythmbox-2.90.1-17.git20110927.fc16
Kernal: 3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64
iPod: iPod Classic, 160 GB 2009

nfs mounts in fstab
by Frank Murphy
(I have line wraps here)
my.server.here://nfs/store01 /home/myuser/Net01
nfs user,rw,noauto,hard,intr 0 0
The problem I'm having is myuser on the client is uid:1000
(my son set up his own PC with Fedora16)
on the server myuser uid:500
I was thinking:
my.server.here://nfs/store01 /home/myuser/Net01
nfs suid=500,rw,noauto,hard,intr 0 0
(it's little nas can't change nada in it)
Yes, it seemed like a good buy at the time.

i will presume you meant firefox 9 and not fedora 9.
that is something to take up with mozilla developers. i do not believe
that either fedora or mozilla put the 'search.conduit.com' crap in your
firefox.
i would guess that it is from you having picked it up somewhere when you
where at a site that runs searches thru 'search.conduit.com'.
i am making a swag here, but i will say that you need to go thru your
preferences for these settings;
edit > preferences > security
[X] Warn me when sites try to install add-ons
edit > preferences > advanced > network
[X] Tell me when a website asks to store data for offline use.
because of possible differences between my release and yours, look thru
*all* your settings to insure that there are not any more that allow
changes being made.

my fedora is at f14. at this time i am running sl 5.5 where firefox is;
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.24) Gecko/20111108
Red Hat/3.6-3.el5_7 Firefox/3.6.24
which does have 'browser.startup.homepage'.
with it missing from you 9.x release, i would presume that firefox devs
where too busy chasing their tales to get release version ahead of google
chrome. 8-D
