Login problem after installing F 17
by Andrew McLean
I have been using Fedora 17 for some months with few problems. My PC has
an Nvidia GPU, and I have used both the Nouveau and Nvidia drivers at
different times.
I just reinstalled from the DVD (because of a problem not relevant to
this specific issue, I believe).
When running as Live User from the DVD, the display is OK.
After installation, I get the login screen as expected. At this point
there is a Menu bar at the top of the window.
After I login with my password, the screen changes to the usual mottled
green background, but there is no Menu bar. Before I reinstalled, the
Menu bar was present and I could use the system as normal.
How can I do anything without a Menu bar ? What might cause this
problem ? I have reinstalled again and get the same result. I did notice
an error message to do with the Noveau driver, but can't access the
details without rebooting into text mode by tweaking Grub. But could a
Nouveau problem cause this behaviour ?
What else can I try ?
TIA

Another Question....
by EGO-II.1
Ok so here's another issue I've recently come across, wonder if anyone
has info on this: I have a Gateway T6321 laptop and it's running my
Fedora 17 just fine, I recently noticed my BIOS for this laptop was
OLD...(1998! I think!) and I was wondering how do I go about installing
the BIOS update from the Gateway site? It's a zip file but I don't know
where to unzip it to!...help!

Setting up a dedicated seeder
by Christopher Svanefalk
Dear all
I have a relatively powerful (i7 3930K, 16GB RAM) desktop currently running
simulations for the Folding@Home project 24/7.
Since I am sitting on a pretty good landline (100mbit/s upstream), I would
very much like to use it to seed torrents for FOSS projects (especially
Fedora) as well, in order to contribute to the community. I am relatively
new to torrents in general, however, so I was just wondering if someone
could give me some pointers on how to do it?
Best,
Christopher Svanefalk

F17 and "Input Signal Out Of Range"
by Beartooth
I have an old Dell PowerEdge SC1420, originally used as a server,
but now just following weather maps from the Web, and backing up newer
machines. It has been running Fedora for at least half a dozen releases.
Now, suddenly, it triggers the message on my monitor saying I
have to tell the OS that the monitor (an HP w2207h) is 1680x1050.
I tried getting it out from behind my KVM switch and connecting
it to all three peripherals directly. No joy.
I tried letting it finish booting and ssh-ing into it. No joy :
"no route to host". (I probably have denyhosts installed, and it must've
gotten set to launch on boot.)
I have media with Knoppix, SuperGrubDisk, and more; but in this
case I'm not sure what to do with them, other than maybe get into the
list of things that launch on boot and disabling denyhosts, and then
perhaps telling Grub to boot to init 3. But then what?
I'm pretty sure that even F17 ran on that machine at first; I
know for certain that it was OK up through F16.

Save rsyslog data -
by Bob Goodwin
Can someone tell me the proper command to save log data to "
/home/bobg/xxlog" instead of filling up "var/log/messages" nothing I've
tried has worked?
[bobg@box9 ~]$ less /etc/rsyslog.conf
.............. snip ................
.#$ActionResumeRetryCount -1 # infinite retries if host is down
# remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional
#*.* @@remote-host:514
name/192.168.1.9:514
# ### end of the forwarding rule ###
Thanks,
Bob

No Sound through headphones on an iMac
by Hugh Caley
Fedora 17 on a newer iMac, the sound is pretty much inaudible with
headphones plugged in, but the speakers seem to work fine with nothing
plugged into the headphone jack.
I've check alsamixer and the Gnome3 Sound control panel, nothing seems
to be shut down when the headphones are plugged in. No errors are
indicated in the logs. Headphone jack works fine under OSX. Anyone have
a thought as to how to work around this?

Network Manager creating problem in mounting file-system from network
by magina antimage
Hi,
I have ported fedora for my target board(x86).
I am mounting File-system from nfs
During boot when NetworkManager service starts ,it kills nfs probably
because of resetting ip and my board doesn't boots up and i get
"nfs: server '*value of ip_address passed during boot*' not responding,
still trying"
is it possible that network manager should not reset ip of board
regards.

usb 3.0 half speed with pci=nomsi
by Skunk Worx
Hi,
I have two similar linux machines with legacy PCI / USB 3.0 cards
plugged in. These use the NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller and the
xhci module.
System A "Fast":
****************
USB 3.0 read performance of about 80 MB/s
doesn't need pci=nomsi to see the USB 3.0 devices
Snips of lspci -vv :
--------------------
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx+
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 21
Region 0: Memory at febfe000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: [90] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=8 Masked-
Capabilities: [a0] Express (v2) Endpoint, MSI 00
DevSta: CorrErr+ UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq+ AuxPwr- TransPend-
Capabilities: [100] #1033
System B "Slow":
****************
USB 3.0 read performance of about 40 MB/s
needs pci=nomsi to see the USB 3.0 devices
Snips of lspci -vv :
--------------------
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 17
Region 0: Memory at fb000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: [90] MSI-X: Enable- Count=8 Masked-
Capabilities: [a0] Express (v2) Endpoint, MSI 00
DevSta: CorrErr- UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq- A
Is it likely that the kernel option is what's dropping the USB 3.0
performance to about 1/2 speed?
If there is a suggestion to up the speed please let me know.
