Flash plugin RPM installed but not being used by Firefix
by Gary Stainburn 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Hi folks. I've followed the instructions to install the flash plugin by downloading the YUM version and then installing the RPM. I got no errors when doing any of this. However, flash still does not work in Firefox. If I do 'about:plugins' it isn't listed. Any suggestions on what to try next. All I'm getting from Google is variations of the same instructions I've already done.

FYI/FWIW: Jon Chiappetta's Fedora/ARM blog @ Wordpress suspended for TOS violation (WTF?)
by Fernando Cassia 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Sorry to post it here, it would be more appropiate on the Fedora/ARM list, but since Fedora is Fedora is Fedora, I'm posting it here. ;-) Any idea as to why Wordpress might have decided to suspect Jon Chiappetta's blog where he posted about Fedora/ARM among other FOSS things? The blog's about page, still in Google's Cache (not for long I suspect) http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Ffossjon… Short URL: http://goo.gl/6RqRs His Fedora 18/ARM announcement last May http://goo.gl/UIjdL It currently displays: "fossjon.wordpress.com is no longer available. This blog has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service <http://wordpress.com/tos/>. For more information and to contact us please read this support document<http://en.support.wordpress.com/suspended-blogs/> ." Screenshot of the error message: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4577/zab7.png Really, what gives?? I can't think how a FOSS blog can violate the Wordpress TOS... The blog was featured today in the Fedora Planet blogroll and Fedora home page, to boot, that's what got me to click and find the error message... http://imageshack.us/a/img89/9045/9bmp.png Unfortunately I don't have Jon's email address at hand right now to ask him about it. Whatever it is, -hoping for an automated flagging gone wrong- I hope it's fixed soon. FC -- During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act

Error Message Displayed at Boot Before Grub2 Menu
by Stephen Morris 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Hi, Whenever I boot my machine, before the grub menu is displayed, I get a message about not being able to find /grub2/locale/en.mo.gz. Directory /grub2 does not exist, let alone /grub2/locale, however directory /boot/grub2/locale does exist but it does not contain file en.mo.gz. How do I determine where the statements that cause grub to look this file are located so that I can try to correct the issue? I am getting this message in Fedora 18, but I was also getting the message in Fedora 17 also, even when Fedora 17 was installed from scratch. regards, Steve

I made a network fresh install on an old laptop. I installed LXDE but after installation I get Fedora running on a small window at centre of screen and only available screen resolution seems to be 640x480. Any idea how to solve??

anyone managed to install F18 or f19 beta under Virtualbox???
by Fernando Cassia 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Attempted 32-bit F18 XFCE install under 64bit Win7 host and Virtualbox 4.2.12 fails at the disk partitioning screen in anaconda with the error "Failed to save storage configuration". It seems I have hit the same scenario as this user http://oxyphosphate3.rssing.com/chan-3353872/all_p101.html The "solution" of "installing F17 then using FedUp to upgrade to F18" seems like a bad joke... If anaconda is broken, has anybody thought about refreshing the LiveCD/install cd images?? I have also tried F19 beta, and wanted to select manual partitioning selecting ext2, but Im unable to get past this screen, I cant even click on existing partitions and select delete... I click and nothing happens... http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1414/aey.png this has to be one of the most brain-damaged installers Ive seen...

fedup upgrade to 18 broke my touchpad on DELL Vostro
by Gary Stainburn 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi folks. I followed the instructions as per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#How_Can_I_Upgrade_My_System_with_FedUp.… and all seemed to go fine - no errors that I saw. However, having completed the upgrade the touchpad in my DELL Vostro has stopped working. It seems to view it as a PS/2 mouse but then it doesn't work, neither the pad or the buttons. There are *old* references to this in Google but nothing I can use to fix the problem. Yum update doesn't fix it. Does anyone have instructions simple enough for me to follow to fix it. Below are the outputs of xinput and lspci. I can't see anything in /var/log/messages but that doesn't mean there isn't something in there [root@gary ~]# xinput ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Mouse id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated Webcam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)] [root@gary ~]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (secondary) (rev 0c) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 03) 00:1a.1 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 03) 00:1a.7 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 4 (rev 03) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 5 (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1d.1 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1d.2 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 03) 00:1d.7 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev f3) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801HM (ICH8M) LPC Interface Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801HM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) IDE Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 03) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 03) 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

I haven't used KDE for quite a long time so YMMV. Create a script with the xinput set command and make it executable. Test to make sure it works.

Sound keeps changing in Fedora18
by Mickey 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

The sound keeps changing in Fedora 18/ KDE. I go into Pavcontrol and Alsa is set to 100% in Playback, I have to move it up to 150% to hear sound at a proper level. The Mixer controls are set to max but you can barely hear audio. If I play a song off Hard drive it is to loud, and I open Mixer and reduce audio to a comfort level and then move it back to max output and the sound level does not go back up.
