Re: F15 - 640MB RAM Requirement Issue
by Freak Trick
Hi,
Thanks! For the reply. But yum itself is horribly slow on F15 beta. I rarely get
above 7 Kbps, which makes online upgrade very frustrating. I even tried a lot of
suggestions over the web for changing mirrors, configuring name-servers etc.,
none helped. But, things seem to be working fine on the Final Release Live CD.
Regards

My guess would be that an upgrade using yum
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq) would be such a workaround.
Anaconda is not involved, so there is nothing to check the minimum RAM
requirement.

F15 -gnome3 login failure
by Gregory P. Ennis
List,
I have a new install of F15 on a Dell 8250 with 1.2 g of memory. I did
the install from the 386 iso and everything went well. When trying to
login to a user account using gnome I get a graphic message telling me :
"On no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system
can't recover. Please log out and try again.
Trying to login again did not help. I did a yum update, but there was
no change after the update.
Fortunately, I also installed KDE and was able to login with the use of
KDE; I created a new user account, but was unable to login with that new
user account as well.
Any ideas ?

Rpmfusion seems to be there.
by Tom Horsley
For all the folks anxiously awaiting the advent of
official rpmfusion repos for f15, I just visited
rpmfusion.org and found the configuration info
now includes f15.
This is not an official statement, I just happened to
notice and thought folks might want to know.

F14 - graphics problem with intel i915
by Genes MailLists
Can anyone help with this.
1) I have Lenovo W520 laptop.
It has Optimus graphics - currently set to Intel Integrated
lscpi reports : VGA compatible controller:
Intel Corporation Device 0126 (rev 09)
I wonder if the '0126' is an issue for fedora ?
2) I have managed to install F14
3) If I boot parted magic 6.1 - it boots up fine - brings up the screen
using intel i915 driver in its 1920 x 1080 (FHD) mode.
Great - that's what I want in fedora.
Its using 2.6.38.2 kernel - /var/log/X.0.log shows intel driver is used.
4) When I boot fedora I have no joy - i compiled the F15 source rpm of
kernel 2.6.38.6 - it does not recognize the intel card and uses VESA
in 1280 x 1024
Xorg log -shows VESA is used.
The screen is messed up - for example the top bar of gnome is "off
screen".
5) I compiled 2.6.39 kernel from F16 source rpm.
It boots fine too - and also brings up VESA driver - screen is no
longer 'messed up' but I am styill stuck on 1280 x 1024.
6) Does anyone know how I can get fedora to use the Intel i915 driver
just like "parted magic" CD does ...
Fedora has to be as good as parted magic .. no?
Help appreciated.
Thanks ..

[PS. I have also tried switching BIOS to nvidia discrete graphics -
none of nouveau, 260 nvidia or 270 (rawhide) nvidia seem to work - they
freeze as soon as the (nomodeset'ed) boot progress bar starts ... i.e.
as soon as X kicks in]

Best to send this reply to the list as I have no idea what's going on,
just trying to get some information that might help others figure it
out.

I'd like to at least try to isolate the bugs and report them first.
If everybody immediately switches to the proprietary drivers then
the nouveau drivers and/or KDE will never improve.
I'll eventually try the nvidia drivers so I can be sure it's a
KDE/nouveau issue but first if anybody can say try this mesa
patch, strace this or gdb that I'll do it.
KDE automatically disables desktop effects. I can not disable
them because I can not enable them... Well I could also disable
the "performance checks" but I don't want KDE any slower.

Reverting evolution to Fedora 14
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
I've just upgraded my a couple of my machines to Fedora 15/x86_64 up
from Fedora 14 x86_64.
Sadly enough, due to large number of GNOME3 related issues, I'm
thinking about switching back to Fedora 14.
Here the problem: When I upgraded my netbook and fired up evolution,
it automatically upgraded my evolution DB.
Currently evolution is DOA - as I cannot send any emails without
crashing it [1].
So the question is rather simple: Can I somehow export the mail DB
back to a format that Fedora 14's evolution can read? (Assuming that I
can recover the DB's, among other thing evolution crashes seemed to
have corrupted the DB).

Graphical tool for repo management
by Antonio M
Up to Fedora 14 I had a graphical repo management tool installed
(Gpk-repo I assume), after update to Fedora 15 such a tool is missing
(only applet is available, but not working).
What happened to Gnome-packagekit??
