Lost my 3D and don't no where to find it !?!
by Bill Case
Hi;
Installed Fedora 13 with nouveau driver and added
mesa-dri-drivers-experimental. Played around with compiz then removed
nouveau and replaced it with nvidia to see how that would look.
Preferred the look I got with nouveau, removed nvidia and reinstalled
nouveau and mesa-dri-drivers-experimental. My 3D is no longer recognized
by compiz.
rpm -qi says both drivers are installed.
lsmod | grep mesa-dri-drivers-experimental returns nothing
lsmod | grep nouveau shows driver
Does anybody know what is happening and how to fix it?

Missing ephiphany plugin?
by Steve Blackwell
I think I'm missing a plugin or two for ephiphany.
After upgrading from F11->F12 some web pages display blank areas where
(presumably) a picture should be. An example is
http://www.licklibrary.com/classifieds_rolandad.aspx
The main part of the page is blank for me. It used to work in F11. Is it
even called ephiphany any more? Help->About shows "Web Browser 2.28.2".
Typing about:plugins in the location bar gives me an empty page and
yet /usr/lib/plugins has these:
# ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
libflashplayer.so librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so
libtotem-gmp-plugin.so libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so
libjavaplugin.so libtotem-cone-plugin.so libtotem-mully-plugin.so
mozplugger.so
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve

How do I file an RFE to be able to killfile a particular writer, say

Strange! Firefox won't play youTube videos -- Epiphany will !?!
by Bill Case
Hi;
I have both nouveau and gnash installed. I am getting beautiful YouTube
videos in Epiphany. Firefox says I need a plugin and about:plugins is
not even showing the gnash plugins it used to.
I tried adobe flash to see if that would fix it, but no change so I
re-installed gnash.

Method to upgrade from live install to DVD install package setup?
by Michael D. Setzer II
I installed Fedora 13 from the live CD and have found many packages
missing that would be installed with the normal process from the DVD
images.
Normally, I do use the DVD and do a preupgrade on one test machine and a
clean install on another and usually use the clean install setup after figuring
all the differences.
In this case, I am 17 timezones behind my normal location (GMT+10 to
GMT-7), so don't have the access to systems I normally do.
So, far I've installed the OpenOffice, Samba to get printing to a windows box,
and found that ftp wasn't install by default?
Only solution might be to reinstall from a DVD image, but that means doing
all the updates again.
Thanks.

The quietness of preupgrade
by Timothy Murphy
I preupgraded from F-12 to F-13 today,
and it nearly all went well.
But I found the long periods when nothing seemed to be happening
off-putting, to put it mildly.
It spent 30-60 minutes "searching for storage" -
what is that about?
I assumed the program had hung, but I was watching the World Cup,
so didn't mind waiting,
and was amazed to find the program actually returned to life
just as the game ended.
It really would be helpful if developers could make sure
that some kind of message, even if it is just a row of dots,
comes up from time to time.

Problem with dkms in F13
by Joachim Backes
Hi,
I'm running F13 and VirtualBox from virtualbox.org. Each time when a new
kernel is installed, the virtualbox box driver modules are *not
rebuilt*. So, after rebooting and starting VirtualBox, the start is
rejected and a PopupUp appears saying something as "Fedora users should
install DKMS", and I have to do "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" manually.
But in my box, the most recent (??) version of dkms is installed:
dkms-2.1.0.1-1.fc12.noarch.
Any advice?
Kind regards

Gnome Menu curosity question ?!?
by Bill Case
Hi;
Dumb, dumb, question that has been bugging me for years. On the Gnome
Menu, what is the difference between 'Applications => System Tools' and
'Preferences => Administration'? There seems to be no rhyme or reason
why some applications are placed in one category rather than another.
I find it a PIA remembering where seldom used applications are. I have
reorganized the menu several times to reflect my personal definition.
However with every new Fedora version I lose my reorganized menu files.
Perhaps if I had a reasonable explanation that made sense, I would have
an aide de memoire to guess more correctly where a program is.
