Dependency problems in latest kmod update
by Rajan, S. (Sanya)
Hi,
When running an update today I ran into this dependency problem:
kernel-uname-r = 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686.PAE is needed by package kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686.PAE-190.42-1.fc12.6.i686 (rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing)
However, I'm running 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE and I don't see the 2.6.31.6 kernel in any of the repos (updates or updates-testing)
Is there a new kernel? Or is there a problem with the kmod-nvidia package in updates-testing?

Missing space on flash drive
by [F]usion[S]tream - Gmail
I know this is technically not a fedora question, but I'm hoping to leverage
on the collective smarts here.
I recently received a Sandisk Cruzer 16GB. I successfully removed all the U3
crap.
However, after converting the fs type to ext3, GParted displays a used space
of around 900MB. df displays a different amount and qtparted displays yet
another amount. Converting back to fat32 in GParted displays 15MB of usage
whereas converting in Windows displays 8kB usage.
With ext4, GParted displays a used amount of ~450MB.
The total size is mostly correct with regards to Sandisk's 16GB actually
being 16billion byes. What is a new filesystem displaying false used space
readings? What is happening?

Faxing suggestions
by Gary Stainburn
Hi folks,
For the first time in ages I'm setting up a network fax facility.
Last time I did this I used hylafax, but doing a yum search doesn't show this
any more.
Before I start looking any deeper, are there (better) alternatives out there?
The plan is to the PBX's at each site to redirect all incoming faxes to a
single PC on that site, which will then receive these incoming faxes and then
forward them, probably using SMTP to a central web server for archiving and
user retrieval.
At the moment I'm not looking at sending faxes, but may do in future.

Default keyring for NetworkManager
by Marko Vojinovic
On each boot nm-applet is asking me for a default keyring password in order to
get to the WPA key for my wireless. I have looked around to find something that
manages this keyring in order to configure it to allow this access
automatically, but to no avail.
Finally, I found some instructions in the Fedora wiki,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager
but they seem to be somewhat outdated. Yum could not find the pam_keyring
package in any F12 repositories (is it renamed?), and pam_keyring.so is not
provided by any existing package. Also, I use kdm (and KDE) instead of gdm, so
not sure if the procedure given in the wiki would apply.
Google was not my friend this time. I even went out of my way and searched
through the F12 release notes :-) , but found nothing.
I simply want to connect to my wireless automatically upon boot and not being
asked for any passwords. I have also enabled autologin in kdm in order to get
logged in automatically (this works beautifully, btw).
So how do I make this work? Is there a way for nm-applet to store the WPA key
locally and not use the keyring? Is there a way to tell the keyring that nm-
applet does not need a password to access it? I'd be happy with any option
that works with no typing involved.
Oh, yes, the keyring password is the same as my login password.
TIA, :-)

Re: kerneloops eating up cpu
by Jackson Byers
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:
Nov 29 13:27:04 localhost kernel: [drm:mga_dma_reset] *ERROR*
mga_dma_reset called without lock held, held 0 owner f4041ae0

Any advice on this?
Might it be tied to my somewhat frequent X-freezes?
As it stands now I will still continue to get the large messages file
requiring me to truncate the file, every day or so

How to install Fedora-12?
by Timothy Murphy
My ancient Pentium Pro (Asus P2B-LS) desktop
does not appear to support booting from a USB stick,
although it does have USB sockets.
Is there any easy way to use my USB stick with F-12 on it
to install Fedora on this machine?
