F14 on eeepc 901 report, fyi
by Fred Smith
For any who may be interested, I've been setting up F14 on my eeepc 901,
the Linux model (it makes a difference... the Windoze model comes with
smaller SSD storage.)
I installed from live cd, doing a custom partition job. the 4 gig ssd
becomes /boot and /root, while the 16 gig SSD becomes 2 gigs of swap
(this particular machine has 2 gigs of RAM), /usr and /home.
when I originally installed F13, I did not separate /usr from /root, and
over the course of a few months, as updates occurred and other packags
were installed, the 4 gig "drive" became nearly full. at that point I
manually repartitioned, moving /usr to the second "drive". So I set up
F14 that way from the beginning.
I removed the default LVM partition scheme as offereed by Anaconda, then
manually set up the partition scheme, making sure to retain encrypted
partitions.
everything installed without a hitch. even the ralink wireless hardware
worked out of the box with no troubles (so far, fingers remain crossed).
All the hardware seems to have been correctly discovered and enabled,
though I havent yet tried any bluetooth devices.
A minor irritant is that there is no user-visible way to change the
wallpaper on the GDM (login) screen. The old wallpaper changer in F13
had a "make default" checkbox, but F14 doesn't. (editorial comment:
I wish they'd stop messing with UI features, making them harder or
impossible to use--it seems like every release has some formerly useful
UI feature disabled/hidden/broken.) I'll have to grope some system
directories, I guess, to figure out where that is configured.
one other odd thing: unlike F13, F12, F11, F10, all of which have
run varying degrees of "well" on this machine, playing with glxgears
gives strange results: the default window size gives about 30 FPS,
and it is very jumpy. But maximizing the window (or even just dragging
a corner til it mostly (but-not-even-fully) fills the screen, the
framerate doubles, and virtually all the jumpiness disappears. resize
it to the original size andthe framerate drops back to 30 and it is
all jumpy again. Is this a result of the performance regressions in the
Intel video drivers I've been reading about on Phoronix? I would expect
it to get slower as it gets bigger, as it always has in the past!
but such relatively minor issues aside, it runs great!
Kudos and huge thanks to the Fedora team!!

error: "org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchDevice"
by JD
One of my 3 open gnome terminals has this message
on it getting repeated once every several hours:
virtual bool Solid::Backends::Hal::HalDevice::queryDeviceInterface(const
Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) const error:
"org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchDevice"
Not sure what is causing it. Several hours ago, I played
an mp3 track using vlc from the command line in that
terminal. I exited vlc after playing the track.

bandsiwdth monitoring tool
by Maxime Alarie
Good day,
I am trying to find a nice network bandwidth monitoring tool. I
know Nagios, but since my network is mostly a Win2003 network, I can
install the nagios client and reboot th servers.. So I am looking fo
another solution.
I have tried to install bandwidthd, but I had a lot of problems makin
it work (libraries) so I decided to give up..
Basically I wold like a Linux tool, monitoring the BW of my network and
switches, and report who/what is using bandwidth.

Firefox, Youtube and Sound
by Gregory P. Ennis
Dear List
I am running FC13, and after the upgrade to 3.6.12 on the 28th of
October there is a problem with youtube videos and sound. Youtube
worked perfectly with sound before the upgrade to 3.6.12.
I can play music with rhythumbox without difficulty, but no sound will
be generated by firefox.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas?

/usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0b removed!
by Benjamin
Hello everybody!
I have made a big s***!While trying get the literatur program "Mendeley"
getting started a tried to create links. Because the linking did not
work i removed the link the following link. In exact i did the follwoing:
[root@Banjo lib]# ls /usr/lib/libssl.so*
/usr/lib/libssl.so.10 /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0b
[root@Banjo lib]# unlink /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0b libssl.so.0
unlink: zusätzlicher Operand „libssl.so.0“
„unlink --help“ gibt weitere Informationen.
[root@Banjo lib]# unlink /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0b
[root@Banjo lib]# ls /usr/lib/libssl.so*
/usr/lib/libssl.so.10
[root@Banjo lib]# yum install openssl
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
libssl.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.7 (r27:82500, Sep 16 2010, 18:03:06)
[GCC 4.5.1 20100907 (Red Hat 4.5.1-3)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq
However,
------------------------------------------
I tried to search the internet to solve this problem but i found no
help! So how and were do i get the lib "libssl.so.1.0.0b" and how should
a link this with /usr/lib/libssl.so.10. Please help!
Thx, Benjamin D.

kickstart partitioning error
by Robert Moskowitz
I am using my anaconda-ks.cfg to rebuild a system (F12). I am using the
same partitions as before, just reformatting. This is what I did in my
last rebuild manually, so I ASSUMEd the anaconda-ks.cfg file had all the
right commands to uncomment, but I still got an error. Here are the
pertinent lines:
#clearpart --none
volgroup vg_klovia_00 --pesize=4096 --useexisting --noformat
pv.cqT7O1-lvx9-fBxs-0b1q-91j0-PRDt-xH3d3s
logvol /home --fstype=ext4 --name=Home_00 --vgname=vg_klovia_00
--useexisting
logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=Root_00 --vgname=vg_klovia_00 --useexisting
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --onpart=sda1
part swap --onpart=sda2
part pv.cqT7O1-lvx9-fBxs-0b1q-91j0-PRDt-xH3d3s --onpart=sda3 --noformat
I ASSUMEd NOT to clear the partition table and left the clearpart
uncommented? Of course it says --none, so perhaps that says to leave
the partition table alone?
Anyway I fail on the volgroup line:
Tried to use undefined partition
pv.cqT7O1-lvx9-fBxs-0b1q-91j0-PRDt-xH3d3s in Volume Group specification.
Well this is what anaconda provided me! Well the last time is DID
rewrite the partition table perhaps. What SHOULD be on this line?
