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.

I have two similar PC (old Pentium but workin fine) In Pc no.1 I upgraded from RH8 to Fedora and it went fine: Soundblaster is working fine In Pc no.2 I made a fresh installation but in redhat-sound-config Fedora doesn't see any card, that was working on Redhat 9 after soundconfig... Where is the trick?? I assume that my Sounblaster is an old 16...but fine on a router/firewall. Tnx Antonio

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.

help - Fedup F20 to F21 through firewall
by Robin Laing 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

Fedup won't use the proxy server where I work. I can download packages and do yum updates by command line or yumex on the machine for updates. sudo yum update works as expected. I cannot run fedup. I get error messages for every server tried as 403'd. This is from the log file. [ 4.623] (II) fedup.yum:log_grab_failure() http://fedora.mirror.gtcomm.net/releases/21/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/5…: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden I can access the archives via web browser and download files from the sites so they are not blocked when using Firefox. So from this, I am assuming that fedup isn't using the proxy settings in the yum configuration files or I have something configured wrong that I am missing. I really don't want to have to upgrade manually again. Robin

Crashes of tainted kernels
by JD 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Many of us need akmods for our hardware. But when the kernel crashes or ooops'es, we are unable to send the crash report. Since none of the crashes occur in the modules inserted via akmods, why is the fedora abrt not allowing thes ending of such reports? At least provide a way for us to send them to the place we got them from, namely rpmfusion in this case, or other repos in other cases. All abrt has to do is ask for the user's login id and password and have it submit the report there.

Most likely OT: rsync to cifs mount
by Ranjan Maitra 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hi, I am at my wits end with this, so I thought I would post here to see if anyone had any thoughts. The only connection with F21 (updated in all installed components) is that everything is on a F21 machine. So, I have a cifs share mounted onto /mnt/space using the usual mount.cifs option with sec=ntlmv2. I wanted to copy the following directory (kmeans) onto /mnt/space -- because I wanted to preserve permissions and structure, I tried rsync: rsync -avSz --delete --progress kmeans/. /mnt/space/kmnsinit So here is the problem: The original directory has size: % du -sh kmeans 156G kmeans But the copying has continued on and on with no sign of ending (and we are at 378GB). % du -sh kmnsinit 378G kmnsinit I also tried without the . after the kmeans/ in the rsync command (though not sure why it would matter) but to no avail. (Same story, and note that it is not ending at 378G but going on, and chances are will go on for some more.) Is it possible that since all things Windoze are bad, the cifs puts stuff all over the place and represents large files differently. Is it possible to however make it behave? Does anyone have an explanation and solution for the above? I apologize again for the largely OT nature of this post.
