fc12 installer fails with Gigabyte GA-EP45 SATA RAID 1
by Chris Mugdan
I am trying to install fc12 i386 on a PC based on the Gigabyte
GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard with SATA RAID. It is an Intel chipset. I am
using RAID 1 (mirror).I have installed fc8 and fc11 successfully on this
hardware, but with fc12 on various attempts I either get that the
installer does not recognise the raid array or, when it did attempt to
install, it took an inordinate time to install the packages then, once
the system was installed and running, thefile systems froze during the
transfer of a large set of files.
Has anyone else experienced these problems with this hardware (or
similar) and if so, do they have a remedy? Or do I just have to wait for
a new Fedora release?
I would go back to fc11 but it has all sorts of problems with monitor
settings - at least with my monitor. So I am back on fc8 in the interim.
Regards,
Chris Mugdan

pm-suspend quirk and gnome-power-manager
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I try to configurate a Dell laptop (latitude D531) under f12.
Suspend does not work out of the box (resume does not work).
I tried from command line:
pm-suspend --quirk-radeon-off
And I could resume.
So I did, following man pm-suspend:
- -pm-suspend --quirk-radeon-off -store-quirks-as-fdi
and an /etc/hal/fdi/information/99local-pm-utils-quirks.fdi
was created.... manual is perfect!
*but*:
1- pm-suspend without --quirk-radeon-off option does not work (I still
cannot resume) in spite of the hal rule added
2- suspend using gnome-power-manager does not work (cannot resume)
What shall I to to pass automaticaly the --quirk-radeon-off option to
gnome-power-manager?
Thanks for helping.

fedora 12 automated installation
by Pietro "m0nt0" Montorfano
Hi list,
i'm trying to make a bootable, fully automated, fedora 12 installation.
Well, to make the iso bootable is quite easy, copied the f12 dvd,
personalized, remastered.
To make everything automated i've done a ks.cfg file, partitioned disk,
and so on.
The thing which is blocking me is that a network connection is required,
but when i install from the usual dvd i don't need it. So what is wrong
with my ks.cfg file?
Or where can i find the ks.cfg file from fedora12?
Thanks

Unable to enable Pulseaudio Multicast/RTP receiver
by Axel
Hello
I m using Fedora 12 and I m trying to enable the Multicast/RTP receiver
of pulseaudio. In the preferences window of the padevchooser applet,
under the Multicast/RTP tab, the checkboxes are disabled. A "Install"
button is available. When I click on this button, a window tells me that
the file /usr/lib/pulse-0.9.19/modules/module-rtp-recv.so is needed.
When I try to continue, packagekit try to install the package
pulseaudio-0.9.19-2.fc12.
Off course pulseaudio is already installed, and this process fails.
Here is the list of pulseaudio RPMs installed :
pulseaudio-gdm-hooks-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
pulseaudio-utils-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
pulseaudio-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
pulseaudio-libs-zeroconf-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
pulseaudio-libs-devel-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
kde-settings-pulseaudio-4.3-15.1.noarch
pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686
projectM-pulseaudio-1.2.0-5.fc12.i686
So, how can I solve this problem, or is there another way to enable the
multicast rtp receiver ?
Thanks for your help

There is a program available at
http://hftom.free.fr/qvdpautest-0.5.tar.gz
which will test and spec out your system.
It will give you information such as:
SURFACE GET BITS: 1169.1 M/s
SURFACE PUT BITS: 1255.18 M/s
MPEG DECODING (1920x1080): 78 pic/s
VC1 DECODING (1440x1080): 94 pic/s
MIXER WEAVE (1920x1080): 5586 frames/s
MIXER BOB (1920x1080): 8771 fields/s
MIXER TEMPORAL (1920x1080): 2150 fields/s
MIXER TEMPORAL_SPATIAL (1920x1080): 753 fields/s
(That is from a GTX285.)

Re: How to verify nvidia drivers working
by steve
Per Michael's advice, I ran glxinfo. Result:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" (printed 5x)
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" (printed like 50x)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I guess that means I don't have the drivers installed after all :-)
What to do?

Domain of sender address ... does not exist

I'm occasionally seeing the following error:

This is on an externally generated email that is coming into my domain

here to protect against spam address harvesters).
Looked at the cf/cf/generic-linux.cf briefly, but it's been too long
since I've munged .cf files (these days I cop out and us the .mc
versions instead).
What's going on, and how do I fix it?

Re: Clean install of Fedora 12 will not bring up login screen after upgrade
by jnissley@nissley.org
John Nissley writes:
I did a clean installation of Fedora 12 from the CD today and the
first boot was fine. I could log into the computer and get the
graphical interface. I then did a yum upgrade and 500 MB later the
upgrade was finished. I then rebooted the computer and now the boot
gets stuck at the f that looks like infinity which is just before
the login screen would display. I can boot into single user mode and
also get into text mode but the graphical mode will not give me the
login screen. I saw that there was not a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file so
I ran Xorg -configure to create one but that did not help either.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Boot into text mode. Log in on the console, run "startx" and see what
happens: 1) If you get bounced back to the terminal, save a copy of
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, then look inside, for clues. 2) If the display
hangs, try to switch to another VT using ALT-F2, or ALT-F3. Save a copy
of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Ditto. 3) If all else fails, do the
three-fingered salute, reboot into text mode, log in to the console,
then save a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log, then look inside, for clues. Ditto.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I can boot to text mode fine. I can then log in and type startx and the
GUI will come up and operate correctly but if I try to boot directly
into the GUI mode I do not get the log in screen to allow me to log in.
An error I see in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log is:
Fatal Server Error:
xp86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
Any suggestions?

kb to control audio line-in instead of pcm
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
This is a generic question about some user settings. Hope this is not
considered off-topic.
I need some help from the sound gurus among us.
Running f10, pulseaudio in charge.
My Logitech keyboard has 3 keys for audio: mute, up, down.
Looking at my keyboard shortcuts I see that they are bound to
XF86AudioMute, XF86AudioLowerVolume, XF86AudioRaiseVolume.
If I open the Volume Control applet I see that it is using the Alsa
mixer. Two of the sliders are PCM and Line-in.
The XF86Audio functions are bound to the PCM control. Is there a way to
change that binding so that the XF86Audio controls refer to Line-in?
(some of my favorite stuff is 33 1/3 rpm :)
Mike Wright :m)
