Upgrade to 3.8.8-100: now boot loops !
by sean darcy 03 May '13

03 May '13

Upgraded F17 kernel to 3.8.8-100. Now it goes boots though udevd, i.e. "Welcome" seems to find the devices, though it's hard to tell since everything goes so fast. /var/log/messages has no messages from these boot loops. 3.7.9-104 works. 3.8.4-102, but now dies with an fb message that nouveaufb conflicts with vesa vga, so it's removing the generic driver. But it just hangs there. Any help appreciated. sean

"hackers"
by Richard Vickery 02 May '13

02 May '13

Does anyone care to help me change the negative connotation that the outside world has of this term, one step at a time? The CBC just used the term with a negative frame on the Tuesday, 23 April 2013 30-minute radio news at about the half-way point. Everyone ought to go to this link and suggest that they should quit abusing the term. http://www.cbc.ca/w6/contact/ to listen to her abuse of the term, go to the link with "contact" removed / deleted - before Wednesday, 25 April at UTC 01:00 (PDT 18:00, in case I did the math wrong). Of course, the media are infamous for abusing scientific terms, such as calling the Higgs boson the god particle - a term scientists loathe - so I out not lose too much sleep over it. regards, Richard

If you don't understand political games, that is not my problem AGAIN: learn to use your mail-client and quote before use mailing-lists if you want to play political games go somewhere else and leave distribution specific lists in peace! AND ESPECIALLY DO NOT TAKE THEM TO THE DEVEL-LIST IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW YOU ACT WITH E-MAIL

Wondrous X bug for your amusement
by Tom Horsley 02 May '13

02 May '13

I'm not sure I think anyone will figure out what this is or how to fix it, but it seems strange enough to send to the list for the amusement value alone :-). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=958326 At first, it looks like my system rebooted, but it is actually still running fine and a couple of console VT switch keyboard sequences gets everything back.

semi-offtopic: AMD catalyst + Phillips TV 46PFL7007 VGA + LongView Cat5 KVM Extender

This is the modeline which works: Section "Monitor" Identifier "0-CRT1" ModeLine "1920x1080" 148.5 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1088 1125 +hsync +vsync Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Phillips 46PFL7007 VGA" Option "DPMS" "true" Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" Option "TargetRefresh" "60" Option "Position" "0 0" Option "Rotate" "normal" Option "Disable" "false" EndSection Now i can watch movies and tv in living room. Wireless mouse + fvwm is enough. Bye xbmc and DLNA, it's more comfortable to have complete desktop on TV. HW (H264) acceleration is working too. If anyone is interested: Installed Packages: libva.x86_64 1.1.1-2.fc18 @updates libva-devel.x86_64 1.1.1-2.fc18 @updates libva-utils.x86_64 1.1.1-2.fc18 @updates xorg-x11-drv-catalyst.x86_64 13.1-1.fc18 @rpmfusion-nonfree-updates and xvba-video-0.7.8-0.f18.bob.src.rpm xvba-video-0.7.8-0.f18.bob.src.rpm Since i don't (and don't want) to have a web server, i can provide this only by email. Binaries too, if you wish. BR, Bob

is there a way to play swf files (version > 9) in Fedora?
by "Germán A. Racca" 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hi list! Not that I'm a fan of gaming, but I discovered the web site y8.com by chance and I liked the games, and they even offer a download option. The games are in swf format, and even having gnash installed, not all of the games I downloaded are working. Reading the info for gnash I can see that "Gnash is capable of reading up to SWF v9...". Taking a look at the files I downloaded: $ file *.swf AmericanRacing.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 14 coasterracer2.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 10 Formula Racer 2012_May_4th_2012.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 10 virtual_drums.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 6 In fact, the only one that plays nicely is virtual_drums.swf. Question is: how can I play the other files whose versions are > 9 in Fedora? All that I found in Google refers to Adobe Player, but the download links are for the flash plugin for the web browser. Any help is appreciated. Germán. -- Germán A. Racca Fedora Package Maintainer https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Skytux

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/
