Making Fedora boot faster
by Kalpa Welivitigoda
Hi all,
I thought to make my Fedora system boot faster. For that I thought to
disable unnecessary kernel modules and services. So I want to know in
detail what each and every kernel module and service do so that I can
disable which are no needed. Can anyone here provide me with a
detailed documentation on the kernel modules and services?

problems with gigabit speeds on dual network card
by Genes MailLists
Anyone got any suggestions for this.
I have a linksys sr2024 Gb switch
Several things are plugged into this - all using cat 5e or cat 6 cables.
Some things are connecting with full Gb speed but the main firewall wont.
The machine has 3 intel nic's -
lspci | egrep -i ethernet
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 01)
05:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 05)
05:05.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 05)
The 82573 is on board and not used - the other 2 nic's are used - one
for internal subnet and one for external.
The internet side is connected to a cisco 800 router (which I believe
is 10/100 only .. tho I cudnt swear for sure)
The inside is connected to the SR2024 Gb switch.
Both nic's come up in 100 Mb/s - I rebooted the switch, and I plugged
and unplugged the cables, I tried ethtool -r ethx a few times to no avail.
Other machines on same switch are happily running at full gigabit speeds.
Nothing in logs suggests a problem
Is there a problem with multi nics of same brand where they need to run
at diff speeds ? Or is this a quirk with some hardware somewhere ? Or ???
Appreciate any suggesions ... its getting tiring forcing renogiation!
thanks ...

Flash-Plugin SOLVED
by mike
yum localinstall worked like a champ. I was looking in the wrong
place trying to find the answer in rpm.
Yes, I am posting from my XP platform as I am trying to bring the new
laptop up to speed on Fedora and have not configured Thunderbird on it yet.
Thanks for the help!

generating PDF's via code - looking for ideas
by CS DBA
Hi All;
I'm looking for a way to generate a PDF report based on a set of data in a
database and a set of pre-generated graphs via some sort of procedural
method based on a template.
We tried to do this via open office & it's templating features but this
process requires us to first generate an odt file based on xml and then open
the open office odt file and export to a PDF, unfortunately our first stab
generated a 150GB odt file. This is of course an unacceptable method. So,
I'm looking for a way to generate PDF's straight away as described above.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Suspend/sleep
by Roger K. Wells
Months ago when I started using Fedora 13 from Centos 5.3
one of the reasons was that things just worked. Things
like suspend when the laptop lid is closed. Lately starting
perhaps six weeks ago the probability of a successful suspension
and subsequent wake up seems to be about 50%-60%.
My question is what can I check to gather evidence about what's
going on and how to fix it?
uname -r: 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64
Machine: Lenovo X200 Thinkpad.
TIA,

Fedora SMP and 12 core cpu's
by JD
I was browsing for info on 12 core cpu's and found
that AMD released them or announced back in March.
The price is steep of course.
What I would like to know is the degree of granularity
of the SMP implementation in Linux.
Does anyone have an inside track on that?
Or point to some internal documentation?

help - can't boot 2.6.34
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak
Hi all,
My HP DC7800 with encrypted Intel SSD can boot:
kernel-2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64
but not the 2.6.34 kernels like:
kernel-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64
The screen goes blank very early in the boot process, before the disk
passphrase is requested. It happens so fast that I can't read the
limited text that appears on the screen, and the disks are not mounted
for logging...
Anyway... maybe this rings a bell for someone?
Removing and re-installing the 2.6.34 kernel doesn't fix anything.

Fedora Core RPMs archive
by Jerome Benoit
Hello,
Is there a site somewhere having a comprehensive archive of all Fedora
release (RPMs, iso, etc.) that can be rsynced ?
archive.fedoraproject.org seems to have everything but I'm not sure it
can be rsynced ...
Cheers.

disable desktop background in fedora 13 (LXDE)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I was wondering how one does it: I have been looking at the Preferences
-> Desktop but I can not find a way to have it take nothing as the
background. Previously, in F10,11,12, I recall that there was a button
somewhere which said no background. I can not find it here.
Any help?
Many thanks!
