More Qlogic driver madness.
by Mark Haney
This is really getting silly. How is it possible that an initrd will
not USE the firmware included with it to allow me to initialize my
Qlogic FC card? I've built my own, I've read everything I can about
initrd and initramfs and I'm still stuck. Are there tools included with
Fedora that let me edit/muck initramfs settings? Or do I have to roll
my own?
I just don't get it, between FC6 2.6.20 and 2.6.22 kernels in FC6 this
capability was broken and no one's complained? I'm really very tempted
to file a bug report on this for F8 and hope it gets fixed that way,
since I'm unable to find an answer.

Re: Fedora 9 + CIFS issue

Thanks for the tip on strlcpy.

Here are a couple of alternative workarounds if you need to supply both domain and username in the credentials file. The trick is to help strlcpy to terminate the string, by explicitly inserting a NULL character.
1) If using a hex-editor insert a NULL character (00) just before the newline on each row.
2) or wash/fix an existing credentials file like this:
cat credentials_file | tr -d ' t' | awk -- '{printf "%sn", $0}' > new_credetials_file
This also take care of the space problem, since any spaces (or tabs) are deleted.
3) or create a brand new credentials file like this:
echo -en "domain=xxxnusername=xxxnpassword=xxxn" > credentials_file
Cheers

For people like me who missed the discussion about this move to
Mediawiki it would be nice to see the link. I believe that you made a
right choice and I love Mediawiki but I would just like to see what is
benefits are there with moving to Mediawiki so that I can take
advantage of them.
Cheers,

livna nvidia at last!
by Tom Horsley
Downloaded the latest kmod-nvidia from livna this morning, and finally
I can run my monitor at the 1920x1200 resolution God (or DELL, anyway)
intended it to run at. Still have to add the bogus driver option:
Option "ModeValidation" "NoMaxPClkCheck"
but that isn't new with this card (something somewhere insists that the
max pixel clock rate is considerably lower than the actual max rate
for a DVI interface, so I have to make the driver ignore that bogus
info, and it works perfectly - smoke hasn't yet started coming out of
the system after all these years of ignoring the pixel clock check :-).
Together with the magic ServerFlags option:
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
(which makes DragLockButtons work again so my trackball is functional),
and I'm almost ready to declare fedora 9 finally usable :-).

F9/KDE4.0/Nvidia not running/Dual monitors ?
by linux guy
I've been running dual monitors with nvidia since FC4.
I'm running F9, KDE 4.0 and an nvidia card. Dual monitors worked great
in F8. My second monitor isn't working in F9. I seem to have the
nvidia module installed, but yet I am getting a failure message on the
boot screen.
yum list *nvidia*
Loaded plugins: priorities, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
kmod-nvidia.i686 169.12-8.lvn8

kmod-nvidia-2.6.24.5-85.fc8.i686 169.12-7.lvn8

# /sbin/lsmod | grep nvidia
<nothing>
Why is the nvidia module throwing an error during boot ? How do I fix
it ?
Thanks

Fedora 9 - Slow GUI Response
by Manish Kathuria
I upgrade my existing Fedora 8 x86_64 installation to Fedora 9 using yum
successfully but I am facing some problems related to the GUI. I use
GNOME as the desktop environment and ever since I have upgraded to
Fedora 9, the response time of the GUI has slowed. There is an increased
delay when the windows are refreshed and when I change from one
workspace to another one. The applications most frequently used by me
include evolution, firefox, open office and the gnome terminal besides a
few others and the delay is noticeable in case of all of them.
I am using a Core 2 Duo based Dell Vostro laptop with a 15.4" LCD and an
Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller and
the display resolution is set at 1280 x 800 at 24 bits. The display
adapter has been configured to use the "intel" driver.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem or any such issue ? Any
comments and suggestions ?
Thanks,
Manish

Fedora 9 nfs and autofs instable?
by David Jansen
Since switching to fedora 9 (fresh install, no upgrade), both nfs and
autofs seem to crash on an almost daily basis.
nfs mountd is just gone, no errors in the logs. autofs is even more
enigmatic: the daemon is still running, but nothing gets mounted untill
I restart the service. And here also, nothing is mentioned in the logs.
So, when I noticed this, I have switched SELinux off, but the results
are still the same, this morning both services were again not working.
The thing I suspect is my rsync backup script, which runs at night and
makes heavy use of nfs mounted directories.
has anyone else seen such crashes, and does anyone know a solution or a
way to learn more about the problem?
