RAGE XL Framebuffer
by Yanick Quirion 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all I know that is not a specific question about Fedora, but I can't find answer on the kernel mailing list. Is somebody having server with integrated ATI RAGE XL video card? Is it possible to patch the kernel to support this video card? If I add VGA=791 in my grub.conf, I will have a resolution of 1024x768 which is good, but the display is very slow (especially when the screen is scrolling). If I use I this: "video=aty128fb:1024x768@70" it will not work. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 but I will try 2.6.0-test11 today. If somebody has a patch, a link or anything else that can help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

by Mike Fleetwood 26 Aug '14

Hi, On my netbook I booted a test kernel 3.8.0-rc4+ I compiled. Now after booting back into my regular Fedora kernel 3.6.11-5.fc17.i686.PAE my wifi network device remains permanently disappeared. No wifi networks displayed in Network Manager gui. Also the Network Manager syslog messages make it look like the device has completely disappeared. Suggestions for restoring wifi welcome.

I've been using a floppy boot disk as reserve if my HD boot fails, But it appears floppy support as now been removed. Why? Then how can I create an emergency media that is flexible enough to be updated as required? JB

no printout, but no other hint of error. F18.
by William Mattison 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hi, When I try to print anything out, I get no printout. Even a test page does not come out. But no indication of trouble shows up on the monitor, and no indication of trouble on the printer's display. I did download and install the driver. cups gives no hint of trouble that I recognize. If I restart the system and boot up with Windows 7 home, I do get printouts. The printer is a Xerox WorkCentre 6015ni, I'm using Fedora-18, 64-bit, and the printer is connected to the system via usb bus. This is a stand-alone home desktop. I'm neither trained nor experienced in sys. admin. I've exhausted the help I can get from the printer's manual (media and web site). Any help you can give will be appreciated. Bill.

How to record via ctrl+alt+shift+r, video and audio together ? I have fount this trick: http://askubuntu.com/questions/112473/audio-not-working-for-gnome-screencas… But the command for set the "org.gnome.shell.recorder pipeline" key: > gsettings set org.gnome.shell.recorder pipeline "queue ! \ > videorate ! vp8enc quality=10 speed=2 ! mux. pulsesrc ! \ > audio/x-raw-int ! queue ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! \ > mux. webmmux name=mux" ... do not work, and break the recording, likely this setting is for gstreamer-0.10, bud f18 use gstreamer1-1.x, true?. This is home page of shell recorder, but there is nothing for enable audio recording. http://developer.gnome.org/shell/stable/shell-shell-recorder.html Someone have suggest?

Runlevel 3 after fedup
by ellis＠spinics.net 01 May '13

01 May '13

After upgrade from 17 to 18 with fedup and installing all the updates I was unable to login as any user other than root. When I tried I was greeted with the message: "System is booting up". After beating my head against the wall I finally tried booting to runlevel 5 instead of 3. That fixed the issue. But booting to runlevel 3 and switching to 5 doesn't work. Possibly a problem with systemd? -- http://yosemitenews.info/

Unrelieved black popups and message boxes
by Temlakos 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Everyone: I asked this before under a different heading, and no one answered. I get a large volume of e-mail, and very often I interact with a site that brings up a lot of message boxes, "suggestion boxes" (for auto-filling from a few keystroke clues), and bringing up apps after they were minimized to the system tray or the task bar. Now why is it that, after maybe two hours of operation, those popups come up and are totally black? The only way to solve the problem, that I have found, is to shut down. And even then, I can't even see what I'm doing, but have to guess where the icons are for executing a controlled shutdown. (I can always bring up a command-line login screen, log in as root, and then shut down. But that doesn't seem to solve the problem for the next session.) And when I log back on, everything's fine--until it starts happening again, after several more window draws. What could be causing this? Where do I even look for error logs and the like? I never had this problem in any other version of Fedora. I'm having it now, and it's driving me nuts. For the record, I used the "upgrading from F17 to F18 using yum" method. I even used the elaborate script that walks you through rpmnew and rpmsave reconciliation. And I've kept up with every system update since then. Actually, the problem began about three kernel updates back. Temlakos

Problem with cron
by Joe Zeff 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

I have my computers registered with the Linux Counter, and my main desktop machine is supposed to update its status once a week, using a cron job: # added by lico-update.sh version 0.3.14 58 11 * * 4 /home/joe/bin/lico-update.sh -m The permissions on the script are right, and if run manually, it works. This worked fine under Fedora 16, but doesn't now that I'm running F 17. Does anybody know what's happened, or how to find out?

Samba 4
by Gabriel VLASIU 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi! Maybe someone can help me with samba 4 (F18). In previous version (samba 3/F17) I had this definition for a share: [xxx] path = /xxx browseable = yes writable = yes ; writable = no printable = no public = yes guest only = yes guest ok = yes create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 force group = xxx The important thing here is "create mask". I do not want all files created by users to be executable in linux. The same definition work in samba 4 with the exception of running windoze .exe files from the share. In windoze, there is no read & exec permissions associated with the file. Only read for everyone and read/write for unix user/group. I can manually set the exec flag (from linux or windoze) but this has to be made every time someone copy an executable file. Any chance to revert to the behavior from samba 3? Thank you.
