F15, Shutter screen capture fail
by SternData
I'd been using Shutter to do screen captures from selected portions of
the screen. The usual method is to use the mouse to draw a
rectangle,then press ENTER to grab that selection. The first part works
-- I can select a portion of the screen -- but the ENTER is ignored. I
have to use CTRL-ALT-F2 to open a console and kill the shutter process
to get control of the Gnome Shell again.

Is the display manager only a login screen?
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
Is the display manager only a login screen? Or is it also the backbone
of the desktop manager?
Could you please elaborate a bit on this? I have searched on Google
for it, and got the impression that a display manager is not more than
a login screen.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

F15 long boot time/cups scheduler problem
by Bob Goodwin
On a new F15 install replacing F14. The boot process pauses at
"Start LSB: The cups scheduler" for 60 seconds before going on
to the text log-in. I don't know what the cups scheduler is or
what to do with it.
Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

Re: GTK apps ignore subpixel hinting settings
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
> That's not what I said at all. Please don't put words in my mouth.
Yeah right, you pointed out that firefox uses gtk+ for rendering, and
that it links with cairo.
So? Because its not a gtk app, it does not suffer from the problem?

GTK apps ignore subpixel hinting settings
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
I am running Fedora-15 + xfce on my laptop with rgb subpixel hinting enabled,
however it seems all gtk2/gtk3 applications ignore that setting and
apply grayscale hinting instead.
However non-gtk apps like firefox and qt apps and even java apps apply
subpixel hinting correctly:

I already had the same problem with Fedora-14 running KDE, however
I've switched to xfce and
as most apps are now gtk based the problem is more annoying.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thank you in advance, Clemens

Fedora-15-i686-Live-XFCE.iso /dev/fb0 problem
by Philip Rhoades
People,
On my Gateway LT30 netbook, I am still getting similar problems to the
ones I got after the Beta and RCs XFCE Live CD version installs to HD.
Booting on the installed system hangs so I:
- boot to single user - OK
- "init 2" - OK
- "init 3" - OK
- "init 5" - Fails with "/dev/fb0" does not exist errors (it does exist)
- the same problem as the previous versions.
I want to try F15 on this machine (it currently runs F13) because F14
had a problem with a slow, sluggish mouse but I am not having much
success with F15 either so far . .
Regards,
Phil.

Where did power off extensions go?
by Clyde E. Kunkel
So, I upgraded F15 tonight which included gnome-shell-3.0.2-1.fc15, et
al, and now the power off option extension is no longer present.
Reinstalled all extensions, reloaded the shell, rebooted, said some
incantations, but it seems the shell is ignoring the power off mod.
Sure, I can, and will, use the alt key to get it, but, anyone have any
ideas?
TIA

desktop as previous.

Any ideas for debugging hostapd problem on f15?
by Tom Horsley
I have an extensive description of getting my ralink based
USB dongle to work as an access point on fedora 14:
http://home.comcast.net/~tomhorsley/hardware/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.html#Suc...
I'm trying to replicate that success on fedora 15, and can't
seem to get it to work. I was connected once briefly, but
thought maybe the NAT wasn't working because I forgot to
rename eth0 to em1 in the iptables rules. I saw NetworkManager
grabbing control of wlan0 and br0 so I disabled it. But after
fixing all that, I can't even seem to get connected at all now.

Positive tips and help for GNOME 3 please
by Steve Searle
I'd like to start a thread to help me, and hopefully others use GNOME 3
more effectively. I've used it for a day now, its very different and
will take me a while to get used to it. However past experience with
other new things (e.g. selinux) has shown me that both they, and I
improve and I do want to try to get on with GNOME 3. So if you have any
particular tips, or similar, please post them here.
I would like to keep this focused on positive tips, so would urge
complaints, rants, frustrations to be posted separately.
Anyway to get the ball rolling. To quickly bring up the Activities menu,
press the "Windows" key. And Esc will take you out of it.
