f12 user pics in gnome and kdm?
by mike cloaked
Running kdm as the login manager, and gnome as the desktop - I have changed
my userpic under preferences in gnome and the image fails to show up next to
my username in the desktop.
Similarly after logging in to kde and going to the login manager settings
and adding a userpic to my username - no picture appears next to me username
in the kdm greeter in f12.
Both these work fine in f11 - can anyone point me to a workaround?
Thanks

Sky2 NIC Problem? - Was F12 NFS Failures
by Dr J Austin
Hi
I have been fighting my problem with system freezes
described in the previous thread
I have added a 2nd NIC to the machine
and tested across an NFS mount using md2sum as before
The machine now has
An on board Marvell 8380 GB/s nic that uses the sky2 driver
A D-Link 530T GB/s nic that uses the skge driver
I am using a Netgear GS108T GB/s switch to a Centos 5.4
nfs4 server.
The machine is booted with only one NIC connected at a time
D-link Marvell
F11 OK OK
F12 OK Fails
Fails = Hardware button press required after "random" time during
read/checksum calc of 8GB file set
My conclusion was that it must be the F12 sky2 driver not NFS
I then down loaded the latest "Working" F11 kernel source rpm and
extracted sky2.c and sky2.h
and compiled these against the F12 kernel
I thought this must fix the problem - but no!
The machine still freezes during the md5sum test
I am rapidly running out of ideas !!
Any help appreciated

No F-12 NFS mounts at boot -
by Bob Goodwin
NFS has worked for me without many problems from F10 to F11 but on
the new F12 install I have to mount nfs manually after boot.
Has anyone else had a problem or have I overlooked something?

Activating wireless channels 12 and 13
by Marko Vojinovic
This is what I found as generic instructions for the iwl3945 driver:
<quote>
If you are not in the US, more Wifi channels are available (EU: 13 instead of
11). If you cannot see your Wifi, but you know it is there, check if it is on
Channel 12 or 13.
To fix, create /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945-fix and add the following line: "options
cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU". Reload to the driver for the change to become
active: "modprobe -r iwl3945", then "modprobe iwl3945".
</quote>
However, these instructions are not Fedora-specific and I am not sure how old.
So is this the *proper* way to configure this thing in Fedora 12?
And btw, IIRC during the installation, anaconda asks me for geographical
location (to setup local time or whatever...). If I am somewhere outside US,
could this thing be configured automatically?
I understand that this is not allowed in US, but is the situation as hopeless
as the software patents problem, or can something be done about it?
Finally, I am curious --- if I live in Europe, have wireless channels 12 and
13 active by default on my laptop, and then decide to travel to USA for a
week, am I breaking some law? I mean *unintentionally*, since I might not be
aware of the details of my computer setup? I guess one could ask similar
question wrt strong encryption algorithms and other stuff illegal in US-only...
So what is the story here? :-)
Best, :-)

F12 on a P4
by Aaron Konstam
In the F12 Release notes it indicates that i586 support is gone in F12
and i686 is the the support available.
Are there any implications of that to running F12 on a Pentium 4
machine?

FC12 video speed
by Bill Davidsen
I notice that in a VM under KVM (from cli) that video seems faster than the last
few releases. And in fact my totally meaningless test, glxgears, shows that it
is. Now on raw hardware I would say that was a better driver, but running on the
FC9 version of KVM I can't see why that would be so.
So, great work guys, love the improvement in everything, but why? Could it be
because metacity isn't running? It aborts constantly (bug filed) and is that a
performance tip? ;-)
Anyway, nice stuff, runs well on bare iron as well, looking for a good
non-critical place to install it.

causing this?
Thanks in advance

f12 sudden crash
by Tom Horsley
OK, I just finished saying in another thread that f12 seemed
very stable, and my system suddenly froze up. The mouse was
still moving on the screen, but nothing else was responsive.
Ctrl-Alt-F2 couldn't get to a terminal, network didn't appear
to be functioning - power cycle was the only option :-(.
No idea how to investigate what happened. There probably was
a lot of network activity at the time of the crash, ethernet
driver problem maybe?
Here's the smolt profile if anything on there strikes
a familiar note:

Upgraded from F10 to F12---flawlessly.
by Jonathan Gardner
I updgraded from F10 to F12 a couple of days ago. It was easy and
painless*. Thanks all for producing such a wonderful distro. I
remember back in the bad old days when you had to take a leap of faith
to attempt an upgrade, and you'd end up reinstalling from scratch
anyway.
* Aside from the scim -> iBus upgrade, that is. After I got that
worked out, it was flawless.
