FC16, latest updates, kernel 3.4.11-1.fc16.i686 Microphone has not worked for a long time. arecord is unable to get anything from the mic, neither aurecord, nor any internet phone app. Any clues? The audio chipset is Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] C-Media AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)

Fedora 17, hostapd and avoiding DHCPDISCOVER requests
by Kevin Wilson 13 Oct '12

13 Oct '12

Hi, I am running hostapd on top of backfire (hostapd) on WRT54GL LinkSys device with b43 driver. I have very simple, minimalistic hostapd configuration. Now , I run on the LinkSys device: hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf and it starts OK. On a nearby Fedora 17 Linux machine I insert wifi USB card, and the Network Manager identifies the BSS (of the hostaod on the LinkSys device). When I try to connect with Network Manager to the LinkSys device I see , in the kernel log of the Linux machine, these messages: ... ... dhclient[2872]: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 (xid=0x9dd84e4) dhclient[2872]: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 (xid=0x9dd84e4) NetworkManager[540]: <warn> (wlan0): DHCPv4 request timed out. NetworkManager[540]: <info> (wlan0): canceled DHCP transaction, DHCP client pid 2872 ... ... Over and over again. Now what I understand is that since there is no DHCP server on the LinkSys device, the DHCP requests the the network manager sends are not replied. My question is: Is there a way to tell the Network Manager **not** to send DHCP requests in such a case (when connecting to the AP) ? rgs Kevin

Dual Boot Fedora 17 - openSUSE 12.2
by Andi Sugandi 13 Oct '12

13 Oct '12

Hi list mates, Using GRUB2 of openSUSE 12.2 in dual booting with Fedora 17 is not problem as it is automatically listed by openSUSE 12.2 installer when Fedora 17 system is installed first (AND in single "/" partition) , but there is an issue when it is opposite, using GRUB2 of Fedora 17. (AND with separates partitions -- /boot = hda2, & /boot/efi = hda1) parted -l: http://paste.kde.org/567956/raw/ How to solve this issue? When dual booting using GRUB2 of Fedora 17 with seperate "/boot" (+ /boot/efi) partition? Thanks in advance. Best regards, -- Andi Sugandi.

hello all and thanks for fedora! I installed my dad a fresh F17 with Gnome! and when he is playing his domino game in wine and he uses the overview the wine window does not show, should I send a bug or does any body know if this has been repaired somehow. -- OS: http://fedoraproject.org/es/ - http://www.linuxmint.com/ Graficos: http://www.blender.org - http://www.gimp.org Musica: http://www.jamendo.com - http://www.openoctave.org/ Recetas: http://www.recetas-sencillas.com/ - Politica: http://www.fsfla.org/svnwiki/ - http://www.gnu.org/

yum upgrade problem
by pringler01＠gmail.com 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hi, i sorry if this was already posted in the list; i was a long day and tomorrow holds no promises. Today i check for updates (using a cli) and it listed various things to updates (i have updates-testing enable), and some of them was from other repos (more specifically the remi repo). I always try to check the change log to know if something can affect my system and one way of doing it is firing up the gui and checking the details option, but today the gui only displays the firefox 16.0.1, this was strange but i didn't have much time and i updated using the cli (using the yum update firefox). I come back later and both the gui and cli say to me that there is noting more to update. First i think is something related to the mirrors and sync, and decided to do a yum clean all. That was a few hours back and still no new updates, what is wrong? Thanks. Se el cambio que quieres ver en el mundo. Ghandi

Fedora 16 User Manager: can't edit Group Properties
by John Pilkington 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hi: My f16 installation has been successively upgraded from about f12. My tv cards are recognised by the kernel, but ioctl problems have interfered with the setting up of new cards while not affecting the use of those already known. A post I saw today claimed that apparently similar problems in Ubuntu could be cured by re-adding a user somehow lost from the video group. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/System_Administrators_Gu… My attempts to add a user with the User Manager fail. I'm told the video group already exists, try a new name. I deleted and re-created the (empty) video group and still could not add any users to it. Now the two User Manager windows cannot be closed; attempts to minimise them just redraw them. Any suggestions gratefully received. John P

Fedora 17 install dualboot with Windows 7 Home Premium goes nowhere
by Ranjan Maitra 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Friends, After years of providing services to students for free in installing Fedora, I hit a wall this afternoon and don't quite know how to get out of it. The offending laptop is a HP Pavilion DV6 with Windows 7 Home Premium on it. We paritioned the HDD using Windows 7 creating a separate partition and went off to install Fedora on the new partition from a Live CD. Installation went off as a breeze, however, after reboot all hell broke loose. Grub did not show up, what is worse is that a broken Windows Error Recovery did with the Launch Startup Repair, etc. However, it asks for the original installation disc for Windows 7 which the retailer never provided. I tried using PW o fix the MBR as mentioned here: http://www.sevenforums.com/software/135486-how-do-i-repair-mbr-without-disk… but no luck: it goes back to this screen. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? I feel embarrassed and responsible for this student's fancy laptop now. He needs to have W7 to use the BluRay so we were thinking of a dual boot originally, but at this point, I am trying to salvage whatever.
