f10 beta reduced my laptop to a standalone console system
by shmuel siegel
Ok. I am obviously over my head on this and need some help. I updated an
f9 dell d620 laptop to f10 beta. I was expecting to lose X as others
have reported problems with the intel driver but I thought that updating
to rawhide would solve that problem. The catch is that init 3 is not
starting my wireless configuration and also won't let me bring up eth0
complaining about problems with eth1.
More specifically, when I try
/sbin/ifup eth0
I get the error messages
./network=functions: line 211: rename_device: command not found
tg3 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization
so can someone tell me how to startup my network or how to get init 5
working without being able to update any files.
Thanks

Pulseaudio???
by Antonio M
it seems that after yesterday updates, pulseaudio after a a while
reduces volume on one channel (the left in my case...) and if I open
volume manager and I move sliders (that are locked) everything comes
back...

More info on XO Developer Keys
by Greg DeKoenigsberg
As it turns out, this is an automated process with a built-in delay (the
purpose is to ensure that laptops aren't stolen and repurposed, and the
delay gives time to report a theft).
Which means that the sooner you submit your request for a developer key,
the sooner a developer key will pop out of the system.
The *very* specific directions, in case you've missed them in the other
noise:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_Developer_Keys#Getting_a_develop...
The folks at OLPC are working on temporarily eliminating the delay between
request and creation. I will let you know as soon as I have more info.

olpc-update
by Craigevil
Ok finally have it updating using USB media. part of the problem is the
olcp-update command doesn't seem to be in my path, the only way to run it is
by using /usr/sbin/olpc-update. BTW what IRC channel are we testing in ?

login error
by Günther Fischer
Hi,
I've updatet to f10-Bata from f9 with rawhide. (I use f8 as production and
f9 for testing - now f9.91).
It works mostly fine for me but with a second login (my wife) log fails.
I have done some tries:
* login to console works - so I know the correct password of my wife :-)
but grafical login fails
* because the ist a - sign (minus) in the password, I have changed the
passwd from
abc-def to abcdef and it works
Any idea?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards
