KDE4 - new device notifier
by Andrew Parker
Is there a way to get the new device notifier plasmoid to not list
certain devices? Mine is cluttered up by partitions on my internal
disk that I have no interest in mounting, and certainly didn't plug
them in recently.

triple-headed xorg.conf in Fedora using nv and radeon drivers
by Brendan Conoboy
Hi folks,
Following up on my previous email on the subject, I've made some
advances to the configuration which have improved performance and
decreased hardware requirements. My new setup has 2 24" screens on the
right, and a 22" screen in portrait mode on the left. A radeon x300
card drives the 24" displays as a single randr screen, while an nvidia
gs7200 (NV46) card drives the CCW-rotated portrait monitor. This is
running on the latest Xorg in Fedora 8 (Fedora 9 presently has trouble
initializing the second video card).

NetworkManager and special routing
by Alan Evans
Is there any way to get NetworkManager to configure a special route to
a particular host while still getting the rest from DHCP as it always
does?
On my old desktop (without NetworkManager), I just used
system-config-network and added the rule on the Route tab for the
connection. Now, Fedora9, I do that and NetworkManager stops managing
the connection. Ugh.
If NetworkManager is the way of the future, then I really want to
adopt it. But I really can't have packets to my own server travelling
through our default gateway, out over the wide internet through
servers hundreds of miles from here, just to be routed back into the
server room next door to my office.
Can this be done? Or is it time to give up (again) on NetworkManager
and fall back to the static configurations which, while bothersome, at
least work?

OT: pci express 1x card in a 16x slot
by awrobinson-ml@nc.rr.com
Anyone know if a PCI Express 1x card would work in a PCI Express 16x slot?
"Why would I want to put a PCI Express 1x card in a 16x slot?", someone
is bound to ask. Because there is a capacitor on the motherboard just in
front of the PCI-E 1x slot. The Hauppauge PVR 1250 card I want to put
there has a jack at the very bottom of the card. The card will not fit
all the way down in the slot. Actually I think all the contacts are
made; I cannot see any of the gold from the card's contacts in the slot.
However, the top of the card's faceplate will not reach the chassis to
allow me to screw it in.
With the power off, I found that the 1x card will fit in the 16x slot. I
just don't know if it will work there. Anyone know?
Thanks!

pulseaudio, howto make it work?
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
Because many of you said to use it, it worked just fine, I re-installed it all
and I haven't had any noise from anything but kmail and maybe kino since
then, kino audio seemingly depending on the phase of the moon, day of thew
week and possibly multiplied by the age of the raccoon I last killed, now
many years ago.
Anyway, I'm like the other guy who said all he wants to do is play some
fscking sound. Looking up the various pieces in yumex to see what there
might be for configuration helpers, I try several pieces but they return 0
output, and all seem to be killable with a ctl-c.
Until I get to padmin, now there is a real Super Informative Name.
padmin displays, on the server tab, a whole menu of alsa stuff, every one of
which points into the nvidia chipsets builtin ac97 audio on this motgher
board, and absolutely zero reference is made to the the SBO-400 Audigy 2 card
that I actually use as the main sound system here, with the nvidia thingy
being relegated for skype etc usage.
Now, many moons ago, I spent considerable time on this list arriving at
an /etc/modprobe.conf stanza that made it all work the way I wanted it to
work. It looks like this:
-------------------------
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-1 index=1
options snd-intel8x0 index=1
alias snd-card-2 snd-mpu401
options snd-card-2 index=2
options snd-mpu401 index=2
--------------------------
And if I can get enough of it killed and uninstalled, it will still work as I
have done exactly that once before.
The pulseaudio wiki/web page has zero info on how to do this unless my speed
reading is skipping over it somehow, but I've now been over it 5 or 6 times
without anything raising its hand asking to go wiwi.
If it would help, I can snapshot and post the various screens padmin shows.
Whoever wrote that gui seems to have left out the ability to clipboard the
contents. 500 lashes with a wet noodle are in order for that omission.
Also, I get the impression this is an administration program, in which case I
ought to be able to edit some of this, multiple choices based on the
available hardware would be nice, but as near as I can tell, nothing is
editable, so whyinhell call it an admin program when it can't? Good question
that..
So how do I go about making pulseaudio work like I want it to work?
URL's for answers is fine, but the pulseaudio web page I was pointed at before
is effectively all advertising, and about as useful as those appendages on
the belly of a boar hog.
:(

time stupidity
by Craig White
I am dual booting Fedora 9 and Ubuntu 8 - it seems as though my clock
settings are different though I thought I used the same settings on both
and /etc/localtime seems to be the same on both.
Is it possible that one of them uses UTC and the other doesn't and how
do I verify/change so I don't have to reset the clock each time I
switch?

FEDORA8: NOT GETTING TO DESKTOP AFTER MAKING LOGIN
by ankur@chivalrysystems.com
HI,
I am using fedora 8 and facing a serious trouble of Not getting on to my
desktop or getting to it after 10 15 minutes. I have reinstalled fedora
8 and it has started showing me the same problem again but after a month
of daily usage. The system is generally used for around 10 hours per day
and fedora is being used as a SERVER OS to run MYSQL(auto start) &
JBOSS(started manually in terminal - no auto start). It has been confirmed
from an engineer that there is no hardware problem.
During booting of Fedora almost all the processes starts very quickly and
I am being directed to the login window within minutes. But PROBLEM STARTS
AFTER THIS WHEN I MAKE LOGIN EITHER THROUGH ROOT OR AS A NORMAL USER THEN
IT DOES NOT SHOW DESKTOP FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. the shocking thing is
that this problem is not consistent i.e. it happens sometimes and not on a
regular basis. But if it happens then my jboss does not work.
FACT:
Following 2 files always give a me failure report but still without them
my system reaches to desktop quickly. SO THESE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS
A REASON BEHIND THE PROBLEM.
During booting of fedora the file that does not start is as follows:
Cups [failed]
During shutting down of fedora the file that does not stop is as follows:
Irqbalance [failed]
Can somebody give me a solution to this problem
..????
Best Regards,
Ankur

airmon-ng with iwl4965
by David Hláčik
Hi guys,
hope i am not making off-topic, but it is worth to ask for me.
I am trying to make my iwl4965 wifi card work with aircrack-ng package from
Fedora.
I know guys, that i need to patch driver + mac80211 to make monitor mode
work.
I have used patches provided on aircrack-ng pages to patch kernel-source
and rebuilded whole kernel.
However this is what i got ,
Interface Chipset Driver
*wlan0 iwl4965 - [phy0]/usr/sbin/airmon-ng: line 338:
/sys/class/ieee80211/phy0/add_iface: No such file or directory
mon0: unknown interface: No such device*
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
What is missing there ?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Asunto: Laptop Recommendations
I'm about to buy a new laptop. And I'd like to buy one that works well
with Fedora 9. My current thinking is to go with something from Dell,
because they support Ubuntu on some of their laptops - and if
something works with Ubuntu then there's a good chance that it can be
made to work with Fedora. I'm very tempted by their new Studio range,
but they don't (yet) sell them with Ubuntu on so I suspect there might
be dragons there.
But I thought I'd ask if anyone here had any other suggestions. I'm
looking for a light laptop with something like a 12" screen, a 2 Ghz
or more processor, 2 Gb of RAM, 300 Gb hard disk, wireless and
bluetooth. Working well with Fedora is my primary concern.
I'm hoping to spend about £800, but could go to £1,000 for the right machine.
Any suggestions? Or suggestions of better places to go for suggestions?
Cheers,
Dave...

Dave,
I very recently purchased a HP Pavilion dv6875se from Best Buy in Dallas Texas, USA.
As I was shopping I was keeping Fedora compatibility in mind.
The two things I was most concerned about were video and wireless.
I had bad experiences in the past with an unsupported ATI video card as well as a truly evil broadcom wireless card.
As I was shopping, I made a list of components that could pose a problem. For example, I didn't expect any kind of trouble from DVD/CD drives, or SATA HDD's but Video, Wireless, and Sound were all on the list. As you consider a laptop, go over the suspect components one at a time and find out if there is support. In general anything by Intel will have good support.
The HP dv6875se has a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG 802.11a/b/g card and a Nivida GeForce 8400M GS video card.
I don't use bluetooth and in fact I don't think it is even supported on this machine.
Remember, you can usually add/replace RAM and HDD after the purchase but not Video, Sound, Wireless, etc. So focus on that.
I hope this helps.
Dennis K
