Not all compiz effects working
by Ranbir
Hello Everyone,
I am running Fedora 10 x86_64 on a P5Q-E motherboard with a Radeon HD
3870 graphics card. I'm using the fglrx module provided by RPMs from
the rpm fusion non-free repo. My desktop environment is Gnome.
I have "desktop effects" enabled, which has let me put the desktop on a
cube and has made the windows wobbly. Cool! Unfortunately, enabling
more 3D effects using the CompizConfig Settings Manager doesn't work.
For example, I turned on Expo, which should activate after moving the
mouse to the top left corner. It never works. 3D Windows, which should
make my windows appear to float above the desktop when I spin the
desktop, doesn't work either. As far as I can tell, none of the
additional effects are working.
I've tried deleting all my compiz settings, restoring the default compiz
settings, enabling/disabling "desktop effects", and logging in and out
(even complete reboots). Nothing has fixed the problem.
Am I missing something, or do the additional effects not work with my 3D
card? Incidentally, I have been able to use all of the above effects
(and more) on a HP notebook running the i386 version of Fedora 10 with
an embedded Intel chipset.
Regards,
Ranbir

Re: pidgin problem after installing the most recent f10 updates
by Hiisi
Have the same problem on F9 machine. Actually you can't install the
newer version (2.5.5) from pidgin.im. There's only repo file for FC5,6
and 7. For newer Fedora versions we have to wait for our mountaineers
bring it soon. Alternatively you could use Kopete while Pidgin is out of
work. It supports most of the same protocols Pidgin does.

netinstall can't configure the network card (but Centos can)
by Frank Cox
I'm setting up a brand new computer and installed Centos 5.2 on it using the
netinstall disk without any issue.
I then changed my mind and attempted to install Fedora 10 on it instead, using
that netinstall disk.
To my surprise, F10 can't configure the onboard network card. It sees the card
and gives me an opportunity to configure it. If I enter a static address
setting, it says "configuration error" and won't continue. If I tell it to use
DHCP it tells me that it can't find the repository.
So why would the Centos 5.2 netinstall disk have no problem finding,
configuring and using that network card but F10 can't handle it. If anything I
would have thought it would be the other way around. Is the F10 netinstall
disk somehow more "stripped" than the Centos disk?

"unlock keyring"
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
Everytime I want to ssh to a remote computer, an alert pop-up says: "You
have not unlocked your keyring when logging on this computer"
I tried my password: it fails
I tried my gnupg passphrase: il fails
I rejected the pop-up and I could log to the remote computer.
Who is asking this: local or remote computer? And How to get rid off
this.... And what is the goal of this?
Thank you.
PS running f10

grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template (Xen)
by Ray Van Dolson
Hi, I'm trying to update the kernel on a powered-off domU by mounting
the image via loopback on the dom0 host, chroot'ing and doing an rpm
-Uvh on the kernel files.
This post[1] has a bit more information.
In short, the kernel seems to install alright, but grubby complains:
# rpm -Uvh --force kernel-PAE-*.rpm
warning: kernel-PAE-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4ebfc273
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:kernel-PAE ########################################### [ 50%]
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
2:kernel-PAE-devel ########################################### [100%]
My guess is this is because I'm in a chroot environment, and grubby
must either be finding my dom0's grub.conf file or is confused about
something else related to the fact that I'm not in the "true" domU
environment.
My question is: is there a "right" way to do this sort of thing? I
think I can just edit the grub.conf file by hand and everything will
work OK, but maybe there's a way I can tell grubby to do what it needs
to do and see the correct templates and such to update grub.conf on
its own.
Didn't really get a response on the fedora-xen list. I'm not sure if
this is a bug or not, but thought I'd throw it out here first before
filing something against mkinitrd.
Thanks much,
Ray

yum sometimes updates sometimes not
by Genes MailLists
I have a local repo on an internal web server - I have 6 machines on
F10 using the same repo - 3 machines happily update - 3 say they are up
to date - which they are not - firefox for example is not 3.0.7.
The mirrorlist is a file - which contains a single entry - my web
server. And is identical on all machines - in fact its all nfs mounted.
I try this "yum clean metadata" and even yum clean all - still yum
update says there are no updates ...
I tried --noplugins - same problem. Only plugin i have is changelog
anyway beyonf the standard install.
Suggestions on how to force yum to recognize the updates are there -
they really are?
thx.

how to display a full WUXGA "test pattern" on the laptop?
by Robert P. J. Day
almost certainly a dumb question, but i've never tried this before
-- if i have a 1920x1200, say, png file, how can i display it *fully*
on a laptop display, temporarily overriding the menu bars and so on?
thanks.
rday
p.s. ideally, i guess i'd want to need to press ESC to get back to a
normal desktop.
