please recommend PCIe2.0x16 graphics card for fedora 10
by Simon Tierney
I've upgraded my motherboard to an Asus P6T with i7 processor, which
seems to run OK until I reboot after software updates, then I have to
reset the CMOS each time.
I suspect the bios conflicts with an old PCI graphics card (3D labs
oxygen) which shows up during POST before the screen goes blank.
If someone knows a better explanation please tell me, but the card
doesn't seem to be displaying / recognised fully either.
I don't need high end graphics and I don't want SLI because a bios
upgrade may be required, but I am considering getting a budget
PCIe2.0x16 graphics card and I would be grateful for any
recommendations for or against a particular card or chipset so I don't
buy into more problems.

Taaraaah! I had a rpmfusion-free-updates.repo file in /etc, with
enabled=0. Edited that to enabled=1 & all is honky-dory.
Suddenly, after many tries, Skype works..... with both Skype in & out
devices set to SI7012(hw:si7012,0)
Many, many thanks for your help & patience ;-))

Reporting a nice success with integrated webcam in F10
by mike cloaked
A couple of years ago when I got a Dell SP2008WFP monitor (which has an
integrated webcam) it used to crash F8 as soon as the webcam was plugged in.
I never bothered with it again until today when I thought I would plug it in
to my F10 system and see what happened since there has been a lot of video
driver development since the F8 days.
The webcam shows up in lsusb as: Bus 002 Device 008: ID 05a9:2641 OmniVision
Technologies, Inc.
Plugging it in gives a nice set of lines in /var/log/messages:
Mar 27 21:07:50 home1 kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Monitor
Integrated Webcam (05a9:2641)
Mar 27 21:07:50 home1 kernel: uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE)
not supported. Enabling workaround.
Mar 27 21:07:50 home1 kernel: input: Monitor Integrated Webcam as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.0/input/input7
Mar 27 21:07:50 home1 kernel: usb 2-1.1: New USB device found,
idVendor=05a9, idProduct=2641
and then seems to be detected fine...
Anyway all seemed OK so I fired up the Cheese Webcam Booth under
Applications->Sound and Video, and found the image worked really nicely - it
starts quite dark and then auto adjusts to give a good image. So I fired up
Skype - and to my pleasant surprise it worked just great - and the
integrated microphone is also accessible via the same usb socket - and gives
a really good quality audio in Skype - so I am really impressed that it just
works "out of the box" now in F10.
It might be worth trying a few other webcams that previously in earlier
versions of Fedora needed drivers building and installing - maybe others
could report similar successes with specific models of webcams in F10?

Running VM with virt-manager kills Network Manager
by Sean Waite
Hi all,
I recently installed virt-manager. I've noticed that when I start
a VM, Network Manager dies. virt-manager runs fine, and the VM
starts up. It only happens after the VM starts, simply opening
it will not reproduce the problem. This could very well be a config
issue on my part.
I am running Fedora 10, with virt-manager v 0.6.0-5, and
NetworkManager 0.7.0.99-4. I am using kvm 74-10 as my hypervisor,
with hardware virtualization enabled.
Please ask if you need any further information.
Thanks,
Sean

update broke NetworkManager
by Kevin Kempter
Hi All;
I ran a yum update tonite and after a reboot I no longer had a copy of the
Network Manager in my system tray. Also I could no longer run the Network
Manager (nm-applet) from the command line. It ran but still failed to show up
in the system tray.
Plus if I ran "ifup etho" I got an error that the network was 'down'. And
finally I went to the network device control and it showed no devices.
Fortunately I run an rsync backup before I do any updates. I ran an rsync
restore of the following directories and everything is back to where it was
before the update.
bin
boot
etc
lib
lib64
lost+found
opt
root
sbin
selinux
srv
usr
var
Anyone have any thoughts per the Network Manager issue ?
Thanks in advance

fedora LTS , why not?
by Adel ESSAFI
Hi list
I was using fedora and redhat since 2000. To day, I can see that our
favorite distro is really very strong. However, I have done some experience
(short) with Ubuntu and I have liked to LTS concept (Long Term support).
My idea is to build a distribution that is based on Fedora at 100% with
1. LTS
2. with a very reduce number of packages
3. with proprietary codecs and essentiel software (mp3, flash ) included in.
I know that the variety of the open source projects are making it's power.
However, I aim to build a distribution with only one software from each
catégory. That is, I have to choose between:
* KDE and GNOME for the destop
* rhythembox , kaffeine, ....... as media player
* abiword or openoffice as office writer
.............................................
Technically, I will maintain a repository with a reduced number of
packages.
If I get positive feed back from this list, I can start working on this
project in july
This distribution will be very useful for starter!!
Best regards
Adel

Want to start a LUG with all fedora support.
by Rohit Gupta

Distribution. More than 175 Free media Distributed (Students+Faculty+20FEL).
Details: http://kgeclug.blog.co.in/
(note: I was not a Fedora Ambassador then)
I want to start an GNU LUG in KGEC with Fedora as the main distribution and
all Support. I had got all positive responses from college to start a forum
(LUG) in our college. I have created the mailing list of our KGECLUG:
http://groups.google.com/group/kgeclug/
There's also a survey going on.
Now, I am planning to organise weekly classes in Fedora (or LUG meet) in my
college. The main agenda I am thing is:
1. Introduction to Linux (To be precise - fedora)
2. Solutions to problems (The users problems)
3. Some new discussion or how to session.
I need your support and guidance regarding this.

VMware
by Matthew Saltzman
OK, I re-installed VMware Workstation 6.5 on my F10 yesterday (trying to
troubleshoot the NetworkManager update bug), and now I can't get it to
start. I recall there is some trick involving moving a file out of the
way so vmware realizes it needs to rebuild some modules, but now I can't
find any reference in the archives to tell me which file.
TIA.

Can't Reset Gnome-Keyring Password
by Richard Heck
For some time now, my daughter's been having a problem with her WPA key:
NM asks for it every time she logs on. I seem to have figured out why,
more or less. Let me say that she's using LXDE under F10 on an Eee 901.
When trying to debug something else, I reset her password to what it
originally was when I set up her account, and suddenly everything
worked. I changed it to something else, and it didn't work; changed it
back, and then it did again. So I ran Settings>Passwords, etc, or
whatever it is, and there was a button that said something like "Reset
keyring password". Unfortunately, clicking that button just got me an
error message, something like "Unable to reset keyring password". Very
helpful.
Any ideas?
