Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds
by Tom Horsley
Just booted newest rawhide 1686 kernel, and just before the normal
boot messages start (I have rhgb removed from boot options), this
message I've never before seen appears at the top of the screen:
Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds
What the heck does that mean? (Everything seems to have booted OK
after it said that).
kernel-2.6.27.4-79.fc10.i686 was the one just installed.

adding user during first boot
by Tom Horsley
Now that I am being forbidden by "helpful" computer from
logging in as root, I wish the create user screen you get
during the first boot following install had an advanced
button that would bring up the system-config-users app so
I could create the user with a manually specified UID
(since I'll be accessing lots of files created by that
user on previous fedora versions, I like to keep the UID
the same).
Previously I could just skip the create user step and
login as root to create the initial user.

Gnome Bugs in Fedora-10 Preview
by A. Mani
Fedora 10 Preview X86_64
1. The 'Help' Button in 'Gnome Screen Resolution' does not
work in Fedora 10 Preview (full install except server components)
Bug id 470375
2. In the mouse settings of the Gnome desktop, the 'bulb' in the 'double click
speed checker' behaves incorrectly. I clicked the bulb twice with the left
mouse button, it lit up correctly. But when I clicked the left and then the
right mouse button, then also it lit up. That is not a double click!
Bug id 470384

KMail and KWallet
by Timothy Murphy
When I open KMail I have always been asked for my wallet password.
But under F10 I am also asked for this when I leave KMail.
Has there been some change in policy?
Also, is there any way of avoiding one or both of these queries?

FC10 and NetworkManager
by Timothy Murphy
I read that FC10 Preview introduces NM "sharing" between users.
What exactly does this mean?
Does it mean a connection will be established (if possible)
before one logs in?
That is what I would like.
It used to be the normal behaviour with the network service.
But I've also read that FC10 Preview is identical to what one gets
if one updates FC10 Snap.
I've done this, and have not noticed any change in NM.

AT&T Mobile Broadband Anyone?
by Christopher A Williams
Just picked up a new AT&T Mobile Broadband subscription for work and am
about to try it out with F10 (Rawhide). Anyone already have this
working? I'm using AT&T USB Connect Mercury (Sierra Wireless) card.
I'll just go for it in the meantime and post any success / failures. But
I thought I would ask in the meantime.
Cheers,
Chris

F10 on Asus EEE PC901
by Robert M. Albrecht
Hi,
I installed F10 (todays rawhide via netinstall) on my Asus PC901 and run
into several problems:
- small screen. Some screens like GDM are just to big to fit on the
display. GDM has so many stuff (keyboard layout, language, ...) that simply
does not fit on the screen.
- Some Gnome setting dialogs are too big.
- Some windows are, when created, not entirely visible. They barely fit on
the display, when the user does move them.
- Reboot does not work. After shutting down the system I have to remove the
battery and disconnect the power adapter, otherwise I can't switch on the
system again.
- WLAN does not work (missing driver).
Has anyone an Asus 901 and is seeing the same problems ? What about other
EEE types ? Are they working ?

anaconda no dmraid volumes
by Lars Hamann
Hi,
I'm unable to install f10 preview, because anaconda doesn't recognize my
dmraid-volumes (ich9r). f9 worked fine with this setup. Is dmraid no
longer supported or do I need to set a special boot-Option?
