Problem with su -
by Bob Goodwin 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

I have an F-16 computer that was working normally a couple of days ago when run this morning has an unusual [to me] problem. When I su and type in the root password form the XCFE desktop it spends about 20 seconds before displaying a prompt and then instead of: [bobg@box6 ~]$ su Password: [root@box6 bobg]# exit I get a prompt: bash-4.2# If instead of bringing up the desktop with startx I "su" it changes to root quickly after entering the password, also with the prompt "bash-4.2#." Other than that it apparently works? But obviously something has changed and I can't guess what? Bob

wrong display resolution, F16, eeepc 901, should be 1024x600
by Fred Smith 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Just did a test install of F16 (from the DVD, not live) on my eeepc 901. everything so far seems to be working, though I haven't yet entered the wireless key. but it failed to detect the correct display resolution. Every version of Fedora since F10 has properly detected it, but this one thinks it's 800x600. This hardware has an older pre-Poulsbo intel video chip that has always "just worked". What to do now? create a org.conf, or some such?

lapack
by Patrick Dupre 06 Mar '12

Hello, I need to use the lapack library in fedora 16, but I cannot find a lapack.h file! lapack-devel-3.3.1-1 provides liblapack.so only while fedora 17 provides: /usr/include/lapacke /usr/include/lapacke/lapacke.h /usr/include/lapacke/lapacke_config.h /usr/include/lapacke/lapacke_utils.h /usr/lib/liblapack.so /usr/lib/liblapacke.so Where can I get a lapack.h include file compatible?

preupgrade to Fedora 16 with grub2 upgrade failure?
by Michael D. Setzer II 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Did a preupgrade from Fedora 14 to Fedora 16 on a system, and everything seemed to go fine except the grub was not updated to the grub2 as other upgrades I had done had. I was able to get the older grub to boot the new kernel, by manually editing the grub.conf file, but have not been able to fine a way to get the grub2 to work or find info to fix it. The fdisk shows the first partition starts at sector 63, and this seems to give a message that the embeded area is to small. The strange thing is that I have other systems that I upgraded that have the same first partition starting at 63, but they have the grub2 working? It might be that they were upgraded earlier, and the grub2 might have fit in that area, but have seen messages that say an update has made it no longer fit in that area. Another system has a clean install of Fedora 16, and it has the first partition starting at 2048. Have thought of moving the first partition to free up space, but gparted mentions that this might make the boot fail. Is there some documentation that can help in getting the grub2 working? +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

is fedora really bleeding edge?
by Stuart McGraw 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

One of the reason for using Fedora is quick access to the latest software -- sometimes even too quick (hence the "bleeding edge" moniker.) But I have noticed this is not true for some things. For example, in Fedora 15 python seems frozen at python-2.7.1 even though -2.7.2 was released a long time ago and fixes a number of bugs. Another example is postgresql which remains in the 9.0.x release although 9.1.x contains a number of significant new features. Why do many packages follow the upstream faithfully yet others seem to use a boat-anchor update policy? Is there an official policy about this or is it a matter of individual packagers' choice?

USB3/PCIe -
by Bob Goodwin 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

I have an Fedora-16/64 computer in which I have plugged in an SIIG "DP USB 3.0 4-port PCIe i/e host adapter." The computer, an HP DM5700, acts as though it's not there? Dmidecode shows the PCI Express system slot "available" with the card present. I looked at the BIOS setup stuff and saw nothing that I recognize as controlling that, but it could be something I don't know. So I guess my question is does it seem that I should be able to plug the card in and have Fedora-16 recognize it? Does the fact that it doesn't show up in dmidecode indicate that there is a more basic problem, perhaps a jumper missing, etc. None of the HP DM5700 documentation I have found is of much use in this area. Bob
