Problems with 3COM 3C900Combo
by Christian Moller 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all Fedora users, I have just joined this list. I am running the latest Fedora but I can't get my 3C900Combo networking card to work. I can see that the card is installed but no IP-address is asigned to it and I can't set it. So I think that there is a bug in that driver. Any other user out there who have a solution for this? Best regards and thanks, Christian

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.

Tablet hardware
by Florian Weimer 09 May '15

09 May '15

Is there any tablet-like hardware which is well-supported by Fedora 20 and later? Something with a high-resolution display? I don't need 3D acceleration beyond what's needed to run a typical desktop environment, but I'd like to have lots of RAM, a bit of CPU power (perhaps even a current Core i7) and an SSD with decent read speed.

[OT] Compiling a module for the Fedora kernel
by Klaus-Peter Schrage 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

I am having a permanent fan problem with my obviously esoteric graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 630, see [1], [2]) for which I found a viable, but tediuos workaround: - get the kernel src.rpm - apply a specific patch to the nouveau driver - build and install new kernel rpms (see [3]). I still have to do this on Fedora 21 with the actual kernel version 3.17.6-300, and I fear it will last a while until this problem might be addressed (if ever). Now doing this the way described in [3] always means copying and moving GBs of code (not to mention the build time), although just a few lines of code are affected. So I thought about rebuilding only the nouveau module instead of compiling the complete kernel source each time the Fedora kernel gets an update. Of course, there are lots of instructions available on building kernel modules, but I found none that refers to a Redhat/Fedora kernel source (there is a section 'Building Only Kernel Modules' in the wiki [3], but this is sort of inapprehensible for me and seems to be outdated). So any hint would be greatly appreciated.

KVM/QEMU remote connection
by Glenn Holmer 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

I'm trying to connect to another machine using virt-manager (File/Add Connection). I select QEMU/KVM as hypervisor, "connect to remote host", method SSH, and a username and hostname on the remote machine. The result is always that I get prompted for my passphrase, but then see "authentication failed: no agent is available to authenticate". I get this going from either machine to the other. Virtualization is set up OK because I can run virtual machines on both VM hosts. SSH is set up OK, I can ssh with public key in both directions both as myself and as root. I tried "setenforce 0" on both machines to see if SELinux was blocking it, but the result was the same. What am I missing? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."

Evolution 3.10.4 and Fedora 20
by Gregory P. Ennis 03 Jan '15

03 Jan '15

Everyone, I have about 6 desktop's running F20 with evolution 3.10.4 that have had problems related to the desktop gui 'freezing'. I can go to a terminal interface by hitting <cntrl><alt>F2, and when I toggle back to the gui it is still not usable. The screen is filled with the last object displayed in this case it is always evolution that does not respond, and I am unable to switch to anything else on the gui. All panels are unaddressable. At first I thought the problem was gpaste so I removed it on a test desktop. The symptoms appeared less often but were still present. It seems to hang with evolution. Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone help me debug this. Thank you for your help. Greg Ennis
