Did I mess up?
by Gene Heskett
Greets all;'
I put the F13-x86_64 dvd in the lappies drive and saw from the prelim screen
that it could install or upgrade, so I checked the disk, it was good, and
clicked next. Its installing now, over the F13 beta, but never once did it
ask me if I wanted to update that install.
Its no big deal as I didn't have anything of value on that machine, but it
does seem strange that the installer should mention it up front, but then
never again mention doing an upgrade.
Should it have?

Cheers, Gene

Compiz configuration problem
by Sam Varshavchik
I have "Audible Bell" checked in ccsm, but "echo -e '\007'" from a
gnome-terminal window does not play the alert sound.
I get the alert sound if I turn off compiz, or if I manually play it in
Preferences → Sound. My audio configuration is fine.
I played with other various settings in ccsm, but I couldn't really see any
difference after enabling or changing things. It's almost as if none of the
settings are used anywhere. I can see
$HOME/.config/compiz/compizconfig/Default.ini getting updated, but that's
the only apparent results. The only changes that have any effect are
changing the two lone Compiz settings in "Desktop Effects".

F13 Workspace Switcher doesn't
by Beartooth
Using the new preupgrade from F12, I'm getting very mixed results.
On one PC, it hit the space problem, told me to quit unless I had
a wired Net connection (I did), and let me continue. Then it coped, and
in very little time F13 was up and running, with all my old data still
present.
I'm on that machine now, and some things are inordinately slow,
but do still work, at least for the most part.
Then I did the same on a Thinkpad T42, and again saw immediate
triumph.
So I tried it on another (newer) PC, and another Thinkpad (a T30)
-- and have yet to get either of them usable.
I'll leave the T30 for a different post, if need be; this post is
for the second PC.
It has one problem all the time, and one most of the time; the
former is the worse. I can always log in, and it always gives me my
normal bottom panel. (My left panel sometimes appears, sometimes not; but
I can usually make that appear by starting to create a new one.)
The PC sees both the keyboard and the mouse -- when they are
behind a USB KVM switch, as well as when they are connected directly to
it. The launchers on the panels respond normally to mouse-over and to
clicking -- except for the workspace switcher.
The workspace switcher behaves normally when moused over and when
right-clicked. But it does nothing when left-clicked. (Nor do Alt plus
arrow key do anything.)
I keep trying blanket gpk updates; and also telling yum to
update it, and telling yum to remove it (intending of course to put it
back immediately). No joy there, either.

Re: Is this the Linux list for beginners

This list is specifically for Fedora Linux users. Many other distros have their own. Although, many of the solutions and fixes proffered here will work with other distros.
Since you are new to Linux, you need to get a good knowledge foundation first instead of stumbling around in cyberspace looking for answers. Buy and study this book: RUNNING LINUX by O'Reilly Press (http://oreilly.com/). The latest edition, I think, is five, and even though it is several years old, it is still a wonderful beginner's reference and overview. I have the third edition, which I bought 10 years ago when I migrated from the Amiga to Linux, and I still refer to it.
Welcome to the Linux community.

In the USA, spin has a negative connotation. See "spin doctor".
Is the name "spin" in fedora open to be changed? Hopefully a word can
be chosen that doesn't have a pejorative use in some area...

Fedora 13 + nvidia + kde
by slamp slamp
I had a problem logging into KDE after an upgrade from Fedora 12. I
have akmod-nvidia installed. To fix the login issue I had to remove
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 as I was seeing ksmserver: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 in my xessions log file.
anyone know a better fix? the nvidia driver provides its own
libGL.so.1. not sure how to get KDE to use that instead of the one
provided by mesa-libgl.

F13: strange default for PDF viewer
by Marco Guazzone
Hi,
I've noticed that the default PDF viewer in
"/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache" is GIMP:
application/pdf=gimp.desktop;evince.desktop;
In fact, when I try to open a PDF from firefox, it is open with GIMP.
If I'm not wrong, in F12 the default was EVINCE
Any idea of this change?
Thanks,

F13: gnome volume control affects wrong audio channel
by Colin Brace
Hi all,
I did a fresh install of the 64-bit F13 on my desktop system. For the most
part, everything works fine. One little hiccup:
If I change the audio volume with the gnome volume control applet, it
adjusts the *front channel* rather than PCM or Master channel. Since I have
a second set of speakers attached to the Side channel, and a headphone
attached to Center, this is really inconvenient.
In earlier version of Gnome, one could explicitly select the channel the
volume applet controlled, but this disappeared a few reiterations ago.
Anyone know how to fix this under F13?
The audio on the MB is (lspci):
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio
Controller
Thanks.
