Re: fedora-list Digest, Vol 69, Issue 203
by Hector E. Celis
How do I install and run DVD43. I tride the following:
[root@hector-laptop hector]# yum install wine[/home/hector/Downloads/DVD43_4-6-0_Setup.exe]
The solution must be similar to this, if there is a solution.
Is there A LINUX equivalent of DVD43??
I must have the equivalent of DVD43 and LimeWire
Thank you
for your help (I am an absolute beginner)

Hi all
Behind this strange sounding subject is strange occurence for me.
I'm new to Fedora and have installed F12. All updates are installed by
few days ago I notice the normal 'Updates available' icon in my Gnome
menu.
If I click on the icon I get 'All software are updated' just a few
seconds later.
If I try to run 'yum upgrade' I get no packages marked for update'.
I'm using Danish localized version of Fedora so have tired to translate
back to English but is not sure above is the exact and correct sounding.
Am I doing something wrong here?

Try "yum clean metadata" then "yum update" (not "upgrade").

Thank you for quick answer.
Clean metadate gives:
Indlæste udvidelsesmoduler: presto, refresh-packagekit
32 metadata filer slettet
17 sqlite filer slettet
0 metadata filer slettet
And the 'yum update' gives no update available but the little orange

emacs-23 happened. Fonts are MUCH better. Emacs can now use non-
bitmapped fonts.
Here are some suggestions:
1.
(cond
((display-graphic-p)
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "DejaVu Sans
Mono-9" :slant 'normal :weight 'normal)))
2. If you'd like to adjust font size using Ctrl-mouse wheel (like many
other apps):
(require 'zoom-frm)
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-mouse-5>") 'zoom-in)
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-mouse-4>") 'zoom-out)
For this you'll need:
zoom-frm.el
frame-fns.el
frame-cmds.el
You can find them all here: (e.g.)

Dumb questions:
- what is the boot order set up in your BIOS? Is it set to boot off
the hard drive as the first choice?
- can you hit a key during the boot process to let you select what
media to boot from?
- if you open the CD in Windows, do you see multiple files and
directories, or just one .iso file?

After googling I found this to be a common problem
when some error message is flooding /var/log/messages.
Apparently it is ok to killall kerneloops;
I did,
and this does of course stop it from eating cpu.
But it doesn't solve the basic problem, what is flooding the messages file?
In my case it is huge number of lines:

Hi guys,
I tried to upgrade F11 with soft raid F12. So far I used yum to upgrade
Fedora 1 up to F11. My yum update went wrong and my server wes forcefully
rebooted in the middle so none kernel from F11 works anymore.
After I booted F12 DVD - if I select "Install or Upgrade" and "Replace
existing Linux System" the probem is that my original raid raids are not
mounted. I can see:
<6>md6: radi1: raid set md0 active with 2 out of 2 mirrors
<6>md0: detected capacity change from 0 to xxxx
<3>"Buffer I/O error on device md0, logical block 0"
...
<3>"Buffer I/O error on device md0, logical block 9"
<6>md0: detected capacity change from xxxx to 0
...
<6>md: md0 is stopped
This whole raid process repeats iteslf several times and it takes about
10-15 minutes.
However with "Replace existing Linux System" option, raid arrays are not
mounted successfuly and I cannot install F12 over F11.
But when I select rescue option from F12 DVD, the same errors are displayed
but my all old arrays are eventually mounted, so I can see all the files.
Also once arrays are mounted they appear working and healthy.
Do you please have any hint how can I refresh or repair my md arrayrs so it
does not take ages before these are mounted and at the first place they are
mounted every time?
Is there any safe raid command I can do in rescue mode so this is achieved
and I won't loss my data?
Do you think that my raid arrays created in times of Fefdora 1 can cause
this problem?
This situation is very painful as I killed my day today trying to fix it
without luck :(
Thank you very much gyus,
Jaiv
PS: During my initial tries I reinstalled swap (as it was encrypted on the
old system and Anaconda always asked for pw which I do not have) and I did
it with the command:
mkswap -f -L swap /dev/VolGrolup00/LogVol00
Do you think I could have damaged my raid arrays by using "-f" option?

Unfortunately, there is an intrusion detection system on the network
that keeps me from setting up a dual-boot system. If I boot the F12 live
cd, my network connection is disabled and the admins come and beat me
about the head. So I think running F12 in a VM is going to be the best I
can do.

After updates today my radeon driver does not start properly if the
kernel nomodeset option is used.
The X log has a message :
"Couldn't find valid PLL dividers"
Good news though in other areas :
--I can shell into the machine with ssh, it's not a hard crash.
--If I set up the kernel with "rhgb quiet" and do not use the
"nomodeset" option X starts up normally.
--I no longer need an xorg.conf with "XAA" accel enabled to prevent X
crashes. EXA seems to be working reliably now. (I previously reported
that www.newegg.com and wiki.centos.org were crashing X with EXA enabled.)
EXA seems stable with kernel modesetting though...great!

Yes, but it won't hurt much. Do a "yum install seahorse" (it will have one or
two dependencies), use it to set an empty password, then "yum remove seahorse"
and its dependency, and you are done. :-)
> Would knetworkmanager be any help?
I tried it instead of nm-applet, but somehow didn't feel stable enough. Since
nm-applet was favored to knetworkmanager on the very KDE spin, I guess the
latter is not quite there yet. Besides, I got used to nm-applet, and it works
ok for me.
> This NetworkManager password business seems completely crazy to me.
The whole thing has nothing to do with NM itself. The issue is between nm-
applet and default keyring (Gnome) or knetworkmanager and kde wallet (KDE).
It's all about where to store the wireless keys and who can read them.
Best, :-)

I'm writing this from memory, as I deleted seahorse already and cannot start
it up.
First install seahorse. Then start it. The UI is not quite intuitive, but you
should basically see one line in the main part of the window representing the
default keys stuff (in my case it was the only line available). Click on it,
and then find something like "properties" or similar. In there you will find an
option to change the password. It will open a dialog asking for the old
password, and the new one (twice). Type in the old password, leave blank fields
for the new one. You should get an "are you sure" type of warning, but it will
accept it on if you insist :-). Close seahorse and uninstall if you wish.
That should do it.
Best, :-)

Keyboard preferences lost in GNOME
by Reid Rivenburgh
Hi. I'm currently running F12, though the following has been a
problem for a long time. Every time I login, I have to open the
keyboard preferences and make some small change to my repeat rate
setting, like move it up or down a hair, for it to take effect. (It
shows my old, expected values, they just don't take effect until I
make a change.) I'd like it to just load my old setting
automatically. Does anyone know why it doesn't do that? One strange
thing I do (of many, no doubt) is run fvwm instead of the normal GNOME
window manager. I've had this account for years, so maybe it's a
problem in a config file that I keep passing along.
Thanks for any pointers....

Emacs fonts in F12
by Matthew Saltzman
In F11, selecting the same font in Emacs as the system monospace font
(in my case, Monospace Regular 7-point) resulted in an Emacs window with
a typeface that looked the same as the one in a gnome-terminal. In F21,
the same font looks (a) much smaller and (b) more widely spaced than the
gnome-terminal font (which looks the same as it did in F11).
Any idea what changed in Emacs and how I can get the font I want?
TIA.

Suspend option gone in gnome-power applet
by Matthew Saltzman
I'm using the nouveau driver in a fresh F12 installation on a Thinkpad
T61. When I click the battery icon on the taskbar, it doesn't show any
action choices, such as suspend or shutdown.
In F11 (though I was using the nvidia drivers on this machine and I have
an ATI on the machine I just checked), left-click showed those actions
and right-click showed Preferences and Power history.
Am I missing some package?
TIA.

F12 KDE - slow response when clicking task bar items
by Craig White
Since I upgraded to F12, I have noticed that it is very slow to respond
to clicks in the task bar - i.e., a long delay if I click the 'fedora'
start button or any of the applications in the 'Task Switcher' widget.
Discernibly slower than F11
FWIW, I am booting with nomodesetting option and using 'nv' driver with
an xorg.conf setting (the same as I was using in F11) because I simply
cannot get 1280x1024 with the nouveau driver, even with 'nomodesetting'
boot option.
Anyone else notice this? Is there something I am doing wrong?

anyone noticed this odd firefox glitch?
by Tom Horsley
After some recent updates (which included a new ati driver)
firefox exhibits this weird behavior on my system. When I
start firefox, the first time it gets the focus, it flickers
once like it just decided it needed to redraw the whole
screen. (I have focus set to follow the mouse).
After it does it that once, it is OK, I can move focus back
and forth and no flickering happens till I exit firefox
and restart it, then I get the initial flicker again.
I don't see any other applications behave this way, just
firefox, and firefox wasn't doing it till the last round
of updates.
It seems relatively harmless, but I was just curious if
it was only me :-).

f12 boot problem
by David L
I just built a system with these components:
EVGA GT220 1GB PCI-Express Video Card
http://www.frys.com/product/6054898
Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P AMD 790X + SB750
http://www.frys.com/product/5928114
AMD Phenom II 965
http://www.frys.com/product/6071348
Since I didn't receive my hard drives or optical drives yet,
I tried Fedora 12 Live USB booting this system to test it.
It dies during boot (or at least the video is screwed up,
I can't tell for sure if it's completely dead). The last thing
it prints is this:
pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 3: address space collision on of device
[0xe0000000-0xffffffff]
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Pointer to BIT loadval table invalid
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0xD6B5: Init table command not found: 0x8C
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0xDEA4: Init table command not found: 0x00
I tried 32 and 64 bit Live USBs and I tried nomodeset.
I'm assuming the problem is related to the video card based
on the last messages I see, but I'm not sure.
I thought I had screwed up something when I built this system,
so I tried Mythbuntu 9.10 Live USB... that worked
perfectly. This is going to be a Mythbuntu system anyway, so
it's not a big deal that it doesn't work in Fedora. But I will file
a bug report if somebody tells me what to file it against and what
additional information to provide (and how to get that information
from a hung live USB boot environment). I had to take a picture
of the screen to get the above information because it only
shows up for about 0.5 seconds before the screen blanks.

David

Adding a soundcard to FC12
by Pauls Lists
Hi All,
I am currently using a Plantronics C60 headset on my Fedora box. However I
do have a realtek intergrated soundcard that I would like to use from time
to time on the same computer. After having checked out the sounds output
page in the preferences menu of FC12 there is only mention of the C60 device
and no mention of the realtek device there. How can I go about setting up my
realtek card in FC12?. This machine is a duel boot PC with windows XP and
the realtek card is working fine in there so am sure that it would appear to
be working okay.
If someone can give me some easy to follow advice on how to add in my
realtek card that would be great.
Many thanks,
Paul.

Skype misses webcam on FC12 x86_64
by M. Fioretti
Greetings,
I am running Fedora 12 x86_64 with all the updates as of this morning
installed and I also enabled the Skype repository.
If I install skype 2.0.0.72 via yum, it sees and detects correctly the
webcam (/dev/video). When I press "test" I see myself in the skype
window. but there is no way to make it use audio. It lists several
possible audio in/out devices but none works (this is an ASUS card
with an nVidia on-board chipset for video and audio).
If I download and start the static binary of skype 2.1.something from
the Skype website the opposite happens. Audio is recognized
immediately (I've just done a voice call without problems) but skype
can't use the webcam. It sees the /dev/video just like the rpm version
but when I push the test button nothing happens. There is no error
message on the command line.
A first search online only returned this page:
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=416921
Right now I have that .so file, but in another location:
rpm -qa | grep v4l
libv4l-0.6.3-1.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-v4l-0.2.0-3.fc12.1.x86_64
[root@polaris ~]# rpm -ql libv4l | more
/usr/lib64/libv4l
/usr/lib64/libv4l/ov511-decomp
/usr/lib64/libv4l/ov518-decomp
/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
...
and if I try to use it with LD_PRELOAD I get:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
which, I imagine, is due to the fact that the skype static binary I'm
using is 32 bit, not 64.
Since the webcam is working just fine with Cheese, I would appreciate
some feedback before installing something else that could screw things
up. Would installing libv4l-0.6.3-1.fc12.i686 solve the problem above without creating other problems?
If not, were else should I look to gather more info as to what's
causing the webcam problem?
TIA,
Marco
