F13: New kernel release: 2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686: "Blue screen of death"?
by Dan Thurman
Previous kernel version was at least very stable, but
today, when I ran the new kernel release, going 45
minutes into doing things, all of a sudden, my screen
changed to a light-blue screen with the Fedora infinity
logo in the middle and stop working completely. No
activity whatsoever. Could not access it locally nor
remotely, so I was forced to do a hard reboot.
I hope this was just a fluke...

Fedora Notifications System.
by Mahmoud Abdul Jawad
Hi all,,
before two weeks, a discussion started in ambassadors mailing-list about a
work around to deliver the important notifications to the fedora desktop
(whatever the desktop is).
after some discussion, we started with some guide lines & putted them on the
wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_notifications_system
Continuing, I created an early prototype i want people to check & gives
feedbacks about it.
you can reach it through gitweb:
http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=megenius/public_git/fns.git;a=summary
or, you can grab your own clone from the git repo:
git://fedorapeople.org/megenius/fns.git
i would like to know,
1. whether people would like to have a GUI for it or not,
2. whether they want to be able to read the previous announcements, &
3. whether they want the checking process automatically or manually.
keep in mind that last_check file should be writeable by the world, & you
should change its value to an earlier date, so you can see some
notifications.

No keyboard or mouse under X - How to debug udev?
by Mike Fleetwood
Hi,
Quick background:
I have Fedora 12 installation recently transferred to new hardware
with embedded ATI Radeon HD 4250 GPU. The ATI/Radeon X11 driver
didn't support the GPU and the VESA X11 driver just switched the
monitor into power saving mode. Upgraded just X11 (and udev and
kernel dependencies) to versions from Fedora 13. ATI/Radeon X11
driver now works and my desktop is displayed but X11 finds no keyboard
or mouse.
Worked around this by adding the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, to
tell X11 not to rely on udev to provide keyboard and mouse details.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
Question:
How do I investigate udev to see why X11 isn't getting a keyboard and mouse?
Thanks,
Mike

F13: Latest kernel & NetworkManager updates broke rt2870 wireless connection
by Dan Thurman
Seems that the kernel/NetworkManager no longer
can load the rt2870sta module. I tried:
# dmesg
usb 1-4: USB disconnect, address 3
usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=14b2, idProduct=3c27

# lssub

# lsmod | grep ra
(nothing)
# modprobe rt2870
FATAL: Module rt2870 not found.
# yum reinstall rt2870 kmod-rt2870
(then checked again, nothing has changed)
I checked everything else, the network-scripts and so on
and the configurations seems intact...
So how can I get my connection back?

Unable to Verify Sun Microsystems' (Bought over by Oracle) Java 6 Update 21 Plugin in Firefox 4.0 Beta 3 in Fedora 11 x86_64 64-bit Linux Operating System

Upgrade with little RAM
by Timothy Murphy
I have a Thinkpad T23 with 512MB RAM,
which I seldom use.
(It is kept in a holiday location.)
It is currently running Fedora-10,
which probably shows when it was last used.
I tried installing Fedora-13 from the KDE Live CD,
and was a bit surprised to find that
it started up OK, but then just hung.
Is this likely to be just shortage of RAM?

grub menu is automatically skipped
by Hoang Le
Dear friends,
I have a problem with grub on fedora 13.
After hibernation, I found that I couldn't boot into Windows 7 just because the
grub menu showed up and disappear immediately and then my laptop booted into
fedora right away. Fedora is my default entry. Now I must use a trick by adding
"hiddenmenu" option and rapidly press up/down arrow key to get to grub menu.
It's not a serious problem but I still would want to solve it. Here's my
menu.lst file.

Can't build Gnash 0.8.8
by Robert Arkiletian
Gnash 0.8.8 apparently now works 100% with Youtube. Considering that
there is no 64 bit flash from Adobe anymore, I tried building gnash
from source
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gnash/0.8.8
on F11 64bit but the mozilla plugin does not build.
./configure is not finding
/usr/include/gstreamer-0.10/gst/pbutils/install-plugins.h
I have both
gstreamer-devel-0.10.25-1.fc11.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-base-devel-0.10.25-3.fc11.x86_64
already installed so the header file exists.
Can someone try building it and share success or failure. Maybe I am
missing something. Thanks
I have posted a bug here
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30858
PS (I have also tried it on F12 32bit with same problem)
