Xwindow not working after install of Fedora 19?
by Michael D. Setzer II 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Had booted an older Lenovo R51 notebook with the Live ISO, and the login worked, and then went thru the clean installation on the hard disk. Install seemed to go thru just fine, but after the login screen go thru login and password, and get a black screen with Fedora graphic at bottom. The Xorg.1.log shows this message lines that seem to be the issue. Fatal server error: [ 617.643] (EE) no screens found(EE) [ 617.643] (EE) Have saved the complete Xorg.1.log file, and also tried running a full yum update that included about 500+ updates. Still doesn't log in. Also, installed xfce to see if using that instead of gnome would work, but no change. Machine seems to work fine from the terminal session just fine? +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

Keyboard locking up in FC17
by Tod Thomas 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

I've read that fc17 is end of life but maybe someone has run into this. I'm running fc17, latest upgrades, using XFCE, and periodically the keyboard just stops working, mouse is fine. I end up having to mouse over ALL of my open windows saving and closing. Once I logoff and logon everything works normally. I've checked the Xorg log, messages, dmesg, everything I can think of but its sill happening. I even tried turning off the screen saver but that didn't help either. It happens inconsistently which makes it even more annoying :) Not sure there's a single answer given the possible moving parts involved. If nobody can think of anything off the top of their head could someone suggest a good way to try and debug? I'll be upgrading here eventually but right now the timing is not optimal. TIA - Tod

new bluetooth problem
by Roger K. Wells 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

After upgrading Fedora 19 this week my Bluetooth mouse won't work after waking up from suspension. I can uninstall & reinstall or do a reboot Machine: Thinkpad X220 uname -a: Linux rwells-lnx 3.11.1-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Sep 14 15:04:51 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux This has worked as expected on this machine with F16, F17, and F19 until this upgrade. Any thoughts about where to look? I tried booting the previous kernel to no avail so I expect it is some other upgraded component. TIA -- Roger Wells, P.E.

desktop/server fedora versions
by Robin Storch 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Were the core Fedora versions (up to core 7) the server versions? Why are all the newer releases referred to as desktop versions? Are there server versions of the new releases somewhere? ----------------------------- Robin Storch x4997

Kernel 3.11 and VMware 9 -
by Bob Goodwin 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Where can I find a patch to permit running VMware Workstation 9 with the most recent Fedora-19 Kernel? My effort with Google produced nothing I had confidence in. The VMware app. is convenient to use as well as expensive but I'm beginning to think it's not a good choice for those of us running Fedora. In the normal progression of updates kernel 3.11 will eventually fall off the list ... Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 Fedora-19 Linux/XFCE

no operating system found error
by Phil Dobbin 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi, I've been using Fedora 19 quite happily for a while now but today when I booted her I got an error message along the lines of '62: No operating system found' & she refused to boot. I'm guessing it's a Grub problem but I've no clue as to go about doing requisite repair work, even after spending an hour Googling the problem. If anybody could help me out, I'd be eternally grateful. Cheers, Phil... -- currently (ab)using Arch Linux, CentOS 5.9 & 6.4, Debian Squeeze & Wheezy, Fedora Spherical & That Damn Cat, Lubuntu 12.10, OS X Snow Leopard & Tiger, Ubuntu Quantal, Raring & Saucy GnuGPG Key : http://phildobbin.org/publickey.asc

Netbeans - what is its status in Fedora-19?
by Timothy Murphy 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

I read in <http://wiki.netbeans.org/Category:Fedora:HowTo> "Important: NetBeans 7.0 or newer NetBeans packages will not be a part Fedora repositories anymore". On the other hand I read in <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetBeans_7.3#Summary> "NetBeans IDE 7.3 is a significant update, especially considering that last packaged version for Fedora was 7.0, which was removed from F18. The goal of this feature is to reinstate NetBeans package in Fedora, and update it to newest upstream version." What is the present and future intention? And if it is intended to re-introduce netbeans into Fedora, when is this likely to appear? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

10 key gone crazy
by Mike Wright 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi all, I have a system with five virtual machines, all of which share the keyboard and mouse with the host. On one of them the 10-key portion of the keyboard doesn't work right. I know it is not hardware because it works correctly on the host and the other four VMs. Specifically, it acts as if numlock is half on and half off. On an xterm single key presses on 8,6,4,2 cause A,B,C,D to display. When auto-repeat begins they revert back to their respective digits. On a GUI such as galculator the 8,6,4,2 act as the cursor keys for up,right,left,down but the rest of the keys act as numeric but again, once auto-repeat kicks in, it reverts back to correct behavior. Rebooting that particular VM doesn't change/correct the behavior. Anybody have any idea what is going on or where to start looking? Thanks for any help, Mike Wright
