No suspend on lid close
by Artifex Maximus
Hello!
I have Fedora 17 x86_64 installed on my Samsung N145Plus netbook.
Sometimes when I close the lid the machine keep on running instead of
suspend. I need to open and close the lid again to suspend. Any idea
why? Any solution?
Is there any good tutorial on how to lower the power consumption of my
netbook? I mean sysctl, proc, etc. settings. I had Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64
and laptop-mode-tools on this machine but I had problems then I
changed my OS to Fedora 17. Most of those problems gone but instead
7-9 hours I only get 2-4 hours on battery.
Bye,

What the 'H" is going on with Flash-plugin ???
by Mickey
F17 / KDE
I have updated a couple of time and I loose the Flashplayer function to
play Flash videos.
I used fedorautils to install flash-plugin, and repaired it one time by
deleting flash-plug and reinstalling it with fedorautils, but the second
time around that did not work .
any Ideals, no Flashplayer at this time .
flash-plugin-11.2.202.238 is presently installed .

Re: f16 preupdate from f14, xfce logout error

I wish I'd known this before I fumbled my way through xfce.
I don't think I am getting that drop down box.
Current state:
It looks like the logouterror finally is no longer appearing.
But I don't know what combo of xfce new stuff did the trick.
I also did a kill on about 50-70 of those logout errors seen in ps aux
--stale code ?
However booting now does not start X:
the system just hangs with a black screen, blinking dash.
I can then get X via going to console,Ctrl-alt-F2,
which gives me a sign in prompt,
signing in as byers, and running startx.
this gets me back to graphical desktop.
It's only an extra step for the boot,
but I would like to know how to fix this.
I am assuming this problem was
somehow caused by my fumbling xfce install.
Is it sensible to try
yum groupremove xfce,
or maybe?:
groupremove_leaf_only xfce
then see if my system boots up with no need for 'startx',
back in gnome.
If that works, then redo
yum groupinstall xfce
?

add a language in Ferdora 17
by Kevin Wilson
Hi
I am trying to add a language in Ferdora, but the new language is not kept
I go to
System Settings
Region and language
Press "+" and select Dansih from the list.
Then close the dialog window.
After I open the dialog window again, the new language I added does not appear
I tried the same with other languages like Czech and more, and I still have the
problem.
Another thing is this
In the Region and Language window, some languages appear (Like French, German,
Spanish and more). But the minus button is disabled and I cannot
remove any of them. Any idea why ?

F17: Manual monitor adjustment required after each boot
by Corinna Vinschen
Hi,
since upgrading from F16 to F17, I have a weird problem with the
monitor settings on my desktop machine.
I'm using the nouveau driver. The controller is an Nvidia GeForce 7100
GS. The controller is somewhat older, it has one DVI and one VGA plug.
Attached are two LCD monitors running a single desktop spread over both
monitors.
Running under F16, everything worked as expected. With F17, every time
I boot the machine, the monitor attached to the VGA plug is wrongly
adjusted, but always in a different way. Sometimes it's just a bit off
and text on the screen is flickering. Sometimes the entire picture is
too wide, sometimes it's off to the right, or to the bottom, etc.
Either way, every morning I now have to press the magic key sequence
on the monitor to readjust the picture.
Did anybody encounter the same problem? Does anybody know how to fix
this, perhaps?
Thanks,
Corinna

To telnet or to netcat... that's the question
by NoSpaze
Hi. If I do:
# telnet 127.0.0.1 5038
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
Action: Login
ActionID: 1
Username: youwanna
Secret: uwanna
... And asterisk responds:
== Manager 'youwanna' logged on from 127.0.0.1
But if I use nc and do...
# nc 127.0.0.1 5038 << EOF
> Action: Login
> ActionID: 1
> Username: youwanna
> Secret: uwanna
>
> EOF
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
... Asterisk responds:
== Connect attempt from '127.0.0.1' unable to authenticate
Notice the TEXT is EXACTLY THE SAME (pasted in both cases) tried 762753 times or something less. Tcp port.
Why is that difference? Is nc sending a different string sequence or what?
TIA...
