hal-0.5.10-3.fc8 won't run
by Nataraj 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

After the latest updates to hal-0.5.10-3.fc8 and hal-info-20080607-2.fc8 hald won't start. I get errors shown below when I try to start it. This is on a Fujitsu lifebook A6110 T5550 laptop. Where can I download older updates between the release and the current update? The update repository only has the latest update.

FreeNX on fc9.x86_64
by V Pomerol 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

After crossing several obstacles in getting FreeNX to work on fc9.x86_64 I still cannot get it to run, and I would appreciate any help on this issue. Here is what I already did: 1. put SELinux in permissive mode (this resolved an authentication issue reported by the freenx client, damn selinux!) 2. I followed the instructions in the following bugzilla comment (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446816#c11) I now have the following two packages installed: $ rpm -qa | grep nx nx-3.2.0-27.fc9.i386 freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc9.i386 3. I installed xfs and manually started the service in runlevel 3. I can now finally run nxnode on the server. Executing '/usr/libexec/nx/nxnode --agent' on the server produces the following errors: ------------------------ NX> 1000 NXNODE - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0) NX> 716 Starting NX Agent ... _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created. _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: mkdir(/tmp/.X11-unix) failed, errno = 9 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local NXAGENT - Version 3.2.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2007 NoMachine.

Problems with ath5k and Madwifi drivers
by Giovanni Cucca 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Hi all, I have a problem with wireless not working on my laptop. I have an Atheros card, but neither ath5k nor Madwifi drivers are working. [oneiros@sincity ~]$ /sbin/lspci |grep Atheros 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) When using the ath5k driver, it will bring up wlan0, but then is incapable of scanning for network, or even to manually connect to known ESSIDs. If I deactivate and reactivate wireless in NetworkManager, I have those messages in /var/log/messages: Jul 31 03:32:35 sincity NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 3 -> 2 Jul 31 03:32:35 sincity NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): deactivating device. Jul 31 03:32:35 sincity NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): taking down device. Jul 31 03:32:38 sincity NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): bringing up device. Jul 31 03:32:38 sincity kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready Jul 31 03:32:38 sincity NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 2 -> 3 If I use the madwifi drivers, I get this error at the startup: Avvio del demone Avahi... Timeout reached while waiting for return value Could not receive return value from daemon process [FALLITO] then it tries to load cups and there it hungs forever. How can I bring up wireless?

f9 kerneloops
by David L 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

I noticed my f9 system was slow and checked CPU usage with top. top showed a process called kerneloops sucking 98% of the CPU. Is this normal? If not, what is one supposed to do to provide debugging info?

Wireless LAN cards for Fedora?
by Colin Paul Adams 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

I want to connect an AMD64 machine (currently running 32-bit Fedora Core 6, although I might upgrade to Fedora 9 64-bit or 32-bit) to a wireless LAN. Can I just buy any cheap wireless LAN card, or are there gotchas to be aware of? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire

How is it that Fedora is not on this list? http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions gNewsSense just recently came around and they are on the list. What's up with that? -- Fedora 7 : sipping some of that moonshine ( www.pembo13.com )

Dear All, I am running XFCE on F9, and I would like to know how to allow two different users to login on my machine at the same time. On F8, I remember a menu entry System --> New Login but I cannot find it on F9. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul

Re: give me my sound back!

another thread on the same issue, I think. "pulseaudio does not start after kernel update" I updated kernel of F8 and lost sound. I know that most reports here concern F9.
