Nvidia problem after kernel 2.6.32.9-70.fc12 update
by Dario Lesca
This morning, after kernel + nvidia driver update I get this error:
> Mar 11 08:46:45 lesca kernel: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 195.36.08, but
> Mar 11 08:46:45 lesca kernel: NVRM: this kernel module has the version 190.53. Please
> Mar 11 08:46:45 lesca kernel: NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
> Mar 11 08:46:45 lesca kernel: NVRM: components have the same version.
then I boot with previous kernel.
This is my rpm situations:
> [root@lesca ~]# rpm -qa|grep 2.6.32.9-70|sort
> kernel-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64

> perf-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.noarch
now I have "yum remove kernel-devel-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64"
But if I run yum update:

The nvidia module is missing.
Besides, yum "There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might
consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them."
but if I run the suggested command:
> # yum-complete-transaction
> Plugin caricati:fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit
> Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
> * fedora: ftp.colocall.net

> No unfinished transactions left.
none happens
I have also force the nvidia module install with:
> yum install kmod-nvidia-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64.x86_64
> Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit

Installing F13 Alpha
by Paolo Galtieri
Any body had any luck installing i386 version of F13 Alpha?
I tried to install it on my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop and it crashes just
after checking the hardware and before it asks to check the media. I have
tried this twice now and it has crashed both times. This system is
currently running F12 just fine.

Seems you were exactly right.
I've never tooled with my BIOS before, and I know I get a
"BIOS Bug #0000123455" everytime I boot, so I was a little
nervous.
But I shall be running installing F12 tonight nevertheless
Thanks a bunch

kernel module
by Luca
Hi all,
I created a kernel module which can be passed some command line arguments
(I tried that with insmod and it works).
Now I would like, when I start the kernel with grub, to have this module
loaded at boot time so I can pass, at boot time, a kernel boot option to it.
I mean having something like
kernel vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 initrd=linuxrc mymodule.param1="myparamvalue"
initrd ....
is it possible?
Thanks,
Luca

Broadcom Wireless Gone
by Fedora User
I just noticed that my wireless (which has been working flawlessly
since installing F12) is no longer available. NM has wireless grayed
out as "disabled."
I uninstalled and re-installed kmod-wl and broadcom-wl. I deleted the
connection and re-created it in the NM dialog. No joy.
I notice using iwconfig:
IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:24 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Managementmode:All packets received
Link Quality=5/5 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=0 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Given that NM requires an associated AP, it looks like it is not able
to negotiate WPA2.
Unfortunately, I am not sure when this occurred.

Audio skips in rhythmbox, fine in other gnome apps
by Dan Irwin
Hello,
Is anyone else experiencing an issue where audio in rhythmbox skips
way more then it should?
For the record I don't think this is a pulseaudio issue. If I open a
folder containing mp3s in gnome, and hover my mouse cursor over a
file, the file plays flawlessly (I assume through gstreamer and
pulseaudio). Playing the same file in rhythmbox can sometimes skip.
I have also loaded up albums in vlc and played with skipping. I have
loaded up songs in the gnome movie player, again without issue.
This seems to be related to rhythmbox only, and is bloody hard to
reproduce. Sometimes songs will skip, and If i restart rhythmbox, the
same song will play without issue.
Or should I just switch to amarok or another decent player?
Cheers,
Dan

Installing on a Macbook Pro
by Evan Klitzke
Hi all,
I'm running Fedora 12 on an older macbook pro. For a long time I've
had a co-installation of Fedora and OS X. Since I never use OS X, I'd
like to install over the OS X partition (my plan is to try to install
the F13 alpha over the OS X partition, and keep my existing F12
installation in case something goes wrong).
The problem that I have is that I've been using refit
(http://refit.sourceforge.net/) as my EFI boot environment. So right
now when I boot my computer, refit loads, and then that loads grub,
and grub boots the kernel normally. It's my understanding that
overwriting the OS X volume would break refit, making my computer
unbootable.
It's also my understanding that:
* GRUB 0.9x does not support EFI volumes
* GRUB 2 supports EFI, but isn't supported by Fedora
The GRUB 2 package description specifically states:
: This is a development snapshot, and as such will not
: replace grub if you install it, but will be merely added as another
: kernel to your existing GRUB menu. Do not replace GRUB (grub
: package) with it unless you know what are you doing.
Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed? At this point I don't
care about support for OS X (or Windows), I just want to make sure
that whatever I do next I'll be able to boot an operating system after
rebooting my laptop.
Thanks.
