Re: Ran out of disk space during yum update
by Rangeen Basu
If you have caching enabled, yum will store every package that it ever
downloaded in the cache dir. Try doing a yum clean to possibly free
some space.

Network Manager, Firefox and more on FC10
by David R. Wilson
Hello fellows,
My .02 worth on several subjects.
Network Manager since FC8 has been causing more grief to me than it is
worth. It looks like it needs to look at
the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ files for eth0 and if it is there
don't screw things up (or at least prompt before destruction).
The startup screen with the travelling bars near the bottom of the
screen is a waste of time. There is a reason I want to see what the box
is doing, and prefer the FC9 behavior. With FC9 I could hit a key and
watch for problems. I didn't find any documentation on how to change
that to the FC9 behavior.
Firefox refuses to handle a bad certificate. That is all well and good,
until your dealing with a firewall that doesn't have one that is valid.
I didn't find a way to get beyond the complaint about the certificate.
I had to grab my laptop with FC9 to deal with that problem. FC10 made
doing anything with the https interface impossible.

f11 alpha x86_64 live KDE image too large to fit on CD?
by Robert P. J. Day
i downloaded the set of F11 alpha live images and all burned to CD
properly except for the one above, which k3b rejected as being too
large to fit on a CD:
667088896 2009-02-06 13:04 F11-Alpha-i686-Live.iso
731385856 2009-02-06 13:07 F11-Alpha-i686-Live-KDE.iso
671713280 2009-02-06 13:06 F11-Alpha-x86_64-Live.iso
737335296 2009-02-06 13:06 F11-Alpha-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso
that has to be awfully close to the maximum capacity. is that
really too large? and why put out an image that just ever so slightly
goes over the limit? or am i misreading something?

Ran out of disk space during yum update
by Robert Moskowitz
In the new install I did, I was not alert and did a complete yum update,
and my / partition ran out.
200 of 300+ packages were updated/installed, of course none cleaned.
Can I rescue this install by doing a yum clean all and then again do the
yum update for the remaining 100+ packages?

X-Display issues
by Dan Thurman
I have been struggling over the X-Display system. I have
an Nvidia chipset, not that it may matter.
When I originally installed F10, I was able to get the X-display
(but there was no xorg.conf file) and the screen appeared to look
high resolution, but the screen size appeared to look like a 1600x1200
but was only covering only 2/3 of the screen monitor. Along with that,
there were white horizontal flickering lines appearing randomly in a
vertical column, just to the right of center. I suspected that the problem
is the vertical refresh rate, set too high for my monitor. But setting this
value is not possible, afaik, with the system-config-display tool.
I found somewhere that there is also an x display helper tool that
allows one to set the vertical refresh on the fly (against I forget what
it was), and set the value to 75Hz and it worked. My display screen
covered 100% of my monitor screen so I know that I need a tool to
set the vertical refresh rate permanently.
I also know that there is an alternate gui tool available that allows me
to permanently set the vertical refresh rate, but I cannot recall what
it is.
Can someone remind me what it is?
Thanks!

NVRM bug on Nvidia-173xx driver
by Reuben D. Budiardja
Hello,
Sorry this is not strictly Fedora package, but I was hoping someone could
help.
I have NVidia Ge Force FX 5500. I use the proprietary NVidia driver to get 3D
acceleration. However, I get glitches, a lot of them, especially when playing
movie is the most noticeable. Sometime the screen locks up too. Checking the
kernel log, I see this:
Feb 4 07:45:10 defiant kernel: NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 13, 0002 beef3097 00003497
00000900 30d410d0 00040000

Feb 4 07:49:37 defiant kernel: NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 4, Channel 00000000
Has anyone seen this ? I tried the Kmod and AKmod way of installing the driver
from rpmfusion and both give me the problem. Furthermore, when booting, I see
a message something like "Segmentation fault on /etc/rc.d/init.d/function line
439" when enabling something related to Nvidia.
There are lots of discussions about NVRM bug on Nvidia forum and on the
Internet, but I can't see anything conclusive and I can't figure out yet what I
need to do to fix this.
Thanks for any help.
