Firefox menus don't work after last update
by Peter Langfelder
Hi all,
just curious if anybody else noticed this: after today's updates, with
a fully updated 32 bit F11 under Gnome desktop, menus in firefox don't
work. Clicking on File, Edit, etc. produces nothing. Further, history
seems to be inoperative - hints in the address bar don't appear, and
the history button also produces nothing (but forward and back buttons
do work). Any ideas what may be wrong? Menus seem to work normally in
other gtk aplications such as gimp.
Thanks,
Peter

HP Pavilion dv6 hangs at boot.
by Tom Diehl
Hi,
Has anyone tried to install F12 on an HP Pavilion dv6-1334? I am trying to boot
the live cd and when it gets to "starting udev" the machine hangs. I have tried
a couple of command line options line iommu=off and iommu=soft but the behavior
does not change.
I looked at google and bugzilla for suggestions but so far no joy.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this machine to boot?
Regards,

F12 installation problem
by Peter J. Stieber
I'm trying to use x86_64 network install CD to load F12 on an ASUS P5Q
MB. The machine was successfully running F11. I tried to upgrade using
the network install CD, but I ran into some problem. I blamed this on
the fact I was also using the rpm fusion repository, but I didn't really
look into the cause. I reloaded F12 from scratch, wiping out the
original install. I made it to the reboot prompt, but when I rebooted I
was left with...
Boot has failed, sleeping forever.
I booted using the rescue CD, mounted the drive, and removed rhgb and
quite from the grub.conf file. The result hinted that a raid device
wasn't detected. The machine only has on SATA drive and it was never
setup or used in a raid configuration. Here's what I see when I try to
boot the machine...

FC12 Clean Install - No Sound
by Tim and Alison Bentley
I have had to do a clean install of FC12.
Whilst most things are working fine I have no sound at all. I had sound on
F11 but with F12 nothing.
I am running KDE but installed from the DVD image.
The sound card is on the motherboard which is a Gigabyte P31.
Any thoughts or pointers would be appreciated.

yum-updatesd -- doesn't seem to do anything
by SternData
I've installed yum-updatesd on my server (run level 3) and nothing seems
to happen. It hasn't reported any updates for a long time, whether on
F11 or F12. Yum update works, however.
The service is running:
root 1940 0.0 0.9 28820 9616 ? SN 13:51 0:00
/usr/bin/python -tt /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd
The conf file is as follows. I've also tried to have it output to syslog.
[main]
# how often to check for new updates (in seconds)
run_interval = 14400
# how often to allow checking on request (in seconds)
updaterefresh = 600
# how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog)
emit_via = email
email_to = root@localhost
# should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for
# new updates

To dd or to rsync, that's the question...
by Dan Thurman
Which is the preferred "backup" solution?
As it seems, when I use rsync to copy data from disk1 partitionX
over to disk2 partition X, I noticed that if one uses Fedora Selinux,
one has to touch /.autorelabel for that partition. It seems to work,
except in cases where the UUID is being "hard-wired" especially
with HAL devices and I started noticing it in cases where xorg
devices are sometimes spitting out errors showing UUID devices,
and crashes Nautilus but recovers and it does this almost every time
the system is rebooted into Fedora.
On the other hand, if one decides to use dd instead, does this preserve
the UUID of the devices including that of the disk partition and it
should work perfectly even without the use of /.autorelabel?
I am trying to get data off of disk1 which is failing (via smartd) and
wish to use the correct backup and restore method getting the data
off of disk1 onto disk2 without "integrity loss", whatever that means.
In the case of dd, it falls flat, if there are sector errors and this would
not work, as in my case - so backup programs that do byte copy would
perhaps also fail. This was the reason I was forced to use rsync in order
to get the data copied over (with errors: I had two files corrupted and
I assumed that a reinstall of the OS would pickup the missing pieces)
so this leads to Vista as follows on this case, however, I experimented
on another system using dd and Vista, it seems to make no difference
at all when trying to 'upgrade' or reinstall the OS on top of the existing
OS.
I noticed that dd was the only solution for XP and it works, on the
other hand it does not work for Vista. What I did in the Vista case
was to rsync the Vista partition to disk2/Vista partition, bootrec /fixBoot,
set "active" (boot) to the drive2/Vista partition and completely reinstall
Vista (because I could not figure out how to 'update' instead of Install
as the Update was greyed out), and in doing it this way, the Vista/DVD
seemed to recognize the partition as such, but moved the contents to
"windows.old" and proceeded to complete the installation. Of course,
this means a complete manual reinstall of 3rd party software and user
profile, a royal pain in the a$$. Interestingly though, it appears that
one does not need to reactivate the license, and I have yet to see it being
asked for.
Any pointers/advice is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Dan

fancy mouse acceleration tweaks?
by Tom Horsley
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/PointerAcceleration
Talks about all kinds of fancy per device mouse acceleration
tweaking that is possible in some theoretical world in which
the stuff documented there actually exists.
My question is: Does it exist in fedora 12? And if so, how
do I get to it? I've tried doing things like xinput --list --long
to find device properties and don't see anything that looks
like the kind of acceleration profiles it is talking about
on the wiki.
I've been hoping to tweak my different mice with different
settings to make them both useable at the same time on the
same screen, but when I sat down to play with it, I found
nothing that looked like the above wiki page in any of the
xinput settings.

is there any inconvenience in defining new yum groups?
by Robert P. J. Day
is there a way to request new yum groups related to a particular
issue? i'm thinking of embedded linux developers, who might want to
install the "Embedded Linux" group, which would contain packages like
squashfs-tools, mtd-tools, mtd-tools-ubi and so on. it wouldn't be
hard to put together a list of the standard embedded-related packages
one would want. is there a protocol for requesting a new group, or is
it not worth the trouble?
