F8rc 3 NetworkManager bug?
by Knute Johnson
So is this a bug or have I got it configured wrong.
When I start my computer and log into X, the network does not start
without me clicking on the applet and telling it to start. If I log
out of X, it disconnects. It didn't do this with F7.
Is it:
a) Feature
b) Bug
c) I have no idea what I'm doing and have it bolixed up.
Thanks,

F8 and HP 8510w Intel 4965 Fails to load
by Christopher A. Williams
Ever since F8T3 (and F8 final has the problem too), I am unable to load
the Intel 4965AGN WiFi card on my HP 8510w laptop with 4GB RAM. I'm
running the PAE kernel, but it also fails with the standard 32-bit and
64-bit kernels as well.
The error I get is:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error
I dug into some of the logs and dmesg output and found out that, for
some reason, the system believes the WiFi card has been powered off via
the hardware kill switch. I re-verified that the hardware power switch
for the radio is on, but the card still fails to load.
Anyone else found a fix for this? It last worked correctly with F8T2 and
has been broken since.
Cheers,
Chris

Cannot install netbeans IDE

I'm having a problem trying to install netbeans 5.5 on my
laptop running F8t3.
Here is the error message:

Any ideas what is happening please?
I did install the above netbeans 5.5 package on FC6, without
any problems.
Kind Regards

Severe X breakage heads up
by Adam Jackson
I plan to rebase the X server to git master a week from today (Monday,
November 12), which means the changes should hit rawhide on Tuesday.
DEAR SHORT ATTENTION SPAN PEOPLE:
% sudo sed -i -e '/^\[main\]/ a exclude=xorg-*' /etc/yum.conf
Run that line to opt out of the disaster. Thank you for your time.
Now for some details.
This X server requires libpciaccess. Not all of the drivers have been
ported yet. Not all of them will be ported by Monday, though I'll try
to have the big three of {radeon,intel,nv} and the vesa driver converted
by then. This should cover most people. I hope.
If your driver is not ported, you'll see an error like this in the X
log:
(EE) module ABI major version (1) doesn't match the server's version (3)
This means switch to vesa, or else back down to F8 X.
Mesa will rebase in the same go. This may or may not break 3D for you.
It shouldn't, but it might. Likewise libdrm, but that's unlikely to be
a problem in and of itself. I'm quite likely to update those two
components sometime this week, they should be relatively low impact on
their own.
This server will also introduce input hotplug support. TBH I have no
idea how this should be set up at the moment. I'll try to get something
working at least for the machines I have here, but that might only be
good enough for static configuration same as F8 and earlier. If someone
wants to own the i-h part of this that'd be awesome, otherwise we'll get
to it as we have time.
I think those are the highlights. If there are any further questions,
please ask, I may have missed something. If any bugs come up in the
transition, please do file them! We need to know what breaks so we know
what we need to fix. And of course, all patches and assistance are
greatly appreciated.

install named starts service?
by Neal Becker
Installed f8rc3 with (almost) all packages chosen. I noticed that named was
running. Is this desirable? Generally, installing a package will not, by
default, start the service.

FC8T3 on Compaq Presario V5000
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
After a nominal install, Fedora presented the famous X on weave
display which usually goes away quickly as the X server moves
on to more interesting things. In this case it stayed on the big X,
responsive to mouse movements but little else. I rebooted the
machine and Fedora came up. I have seen this behavior a
number of times.
Backtrack 2 was previously installed on this machine. Kismet
worked out of the box with the Backtrack kismet script. WPA
worked sometimes with wpa_supplicant.
Ubuntu Studio 7.1 recognized the Broadcom wireless but I
was not able to get WPA working. Fedora's network
tools did not see the Broadcom, however iwconfig does
come up with a wlan0. I haven't tried bringing up wpa_supplicant
manually yet. WPA has been out for a while now and as the only
reasonably secure layer it should be easy to use if not the default.
