Nouveau won't load with custom kernel 2.6.35.6-48
by stan
I compiled a custom kernel in F14 using the Fedora source RPM, and
created a custom initramfs for it using dracut. It boots, and X tries
to load nouveau, but it fails and falls back to VESA. Here is the
pertinent section from Xorg.0.log while it was booting.
44.002] (II) NOUVEAU driver
[ 44.002] (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families :
[ 44.002] RIVA TNT (NV04)
[ 44.002] RIVA TNT2 (NV05)
[ 44.002] GeForce 256 (NV10)
[ 44.002] GeForce 2 (NV11, NV15)
[ 44.002] GeForce 4MX (NV17, NV18)
[ 44.002] GeForce 3 (NV20)
[ 44.002] GeForce 4Ti (NV25, NV28)
[ 44.002] GeForce FX (NV3x)
[ 44.002] GeForce 6 (NV4x)
[ 44.002] GeForce 7 (G7x)
[ 44.002] GeForce 8 (G8x)
[ 44.002] (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
[ 44.002] (II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev
[ 44.002] (++) using VT number 1
[ 44.008] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[ 44.082] [drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau"
[ 44.082] (EE) [drm] failed to open device
It isn't clear to me why it failed. Can anyone clarify for me what is
wrong here and how I should fix it? I think my device is a 4MX in the
list above.
Thanks.

mplayer-export
by JD
When I unpacked the rpm source package
x264-0.0.0-0.28.20100706gitd058f37.fc14.src.rpm
I found that it contains
mplayer-export-2010-07-03.tar.bz2
So, my question is how is
mplayer-export-2010-07-03.tar.bz2
different to
mplayer-2010-07-03.tar.bz2 (just guessing the tarball's name);
in other words, is there a not-for-export version of mplayer
and where can I get it?

i8kuitls bug makes impossible use of F14 on Dell Latitude D820
by Juan R. de Silva
I used i8krllm plugin on F11 and F12 to manage cooling fans on my laptop.
However, after upgrade to F14 I found the plugin not functioning
correctly in Auto mode. It does not respect any temperature settings
anymore. Instead it runs fans at full speed continually and leaves as the
only option Manual fans management. Imagine this... :-(
Well, it would be pity if I have to stop using Fedora on my laptop due to
a such stupid bug.
Any one using Dell laptop here? What would be a solution? The laptop gets
pretty hot otherwise.
Interestingly enough I run across almost the same problem after
installing openSUSE 11.3. These guys just do not have i8kutils in their
repos at all. Though the laptop is slightly cooler then in F14 (who knows
why?), I am still hesitant to use it without proper fan management. I'll
try to ask for help on openSUSE newsgroup. See, what they say.
Isn't it weird that 2 of the mainstream distros left on cold quite a
large number of Dell laptop users.

Re: Fedora-14-i386-dvd.iso, file corrupted
by Vincent
The problem was solved by download the .iso file using another computer.
The corrupted file was downloaded using Kget this utility some how it
got activated, because originally wasn't there this is the only visible
thing different. I like to remove Kget or disable but I do not know
how.

errors from mcelog.cron Fedora 14
by Jerry Feldman
I'm receiving errors from the mcelog.cron script in /etc/cron.hourly:
/etc/cron.hourly/mcelog.cron:
read: No such device
The mcelog.cron script contains the following 2 lines
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/mcelog --ignorenodev --filter >> /var/log/mcelog
This script is also consistent with RHEL 5.2. This message does not
occur every hour.
When I run the mcelog command by hand I do not get this message:
/usr/sbin/mcelog --ignorenodev --filter

Please, do not automatic install applications witch have MONO dependencies
by Dario Lesca
I have install f14 and I discovered that because of some application
(like gnome-do,gnome-desktop-sharp,ecc) you install mono.
<IMHO>
I do not want to contribute to the spread of MS-C#
There is always an alternative to developing applications based on mono
SO, please, do not automatic install applications witch have MONO
dependencies.
MONO is bad, is not totally open.
Yes mono is open, but the idea behind it is not "open"
It's a Trojan horse to facilitate the diffusion of applications also
compatible with Windows
So, please, do not automatic include applications that are dependent on
it.
</IMHO>
Thanks for your patience, and thanks for all the other wonderful work
