codecs, firefox and packageKit
by JD
My video chip is an ATI mobile radeon 9700 (without TV tuner).
I am getting this message on the cli terminal sometimes:
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
and it is repeated 3 times
So I looked in my .xsession-errors and found:
** (firefox:1093): DEBUG: OpenURI reply
** (firefox:1093): DEBUG: 0x915c6ac0: "Command 'Play'"
TotemEmbedded-Message: totem_embedded_do_command: Play

** Message: PackageKit: Did not install codec: did not agree to search

object file: No such file or directory
This comes out when I browsed to a freetv web site.
I have all gstreamer codecs installed.
I have all mplayer codecs installed.
So, what plugin do I need to handle the mime type video/quicktime ?
And why is firefox (Or is it packageKit) trying to access
libvdpau_nvidia.so ?

Hi all,
I've noticed that the messages log file has *many* of these. Does
anybody know what they mean? Do they mean something good/bad/ugly/etc?
It's always a "mce_notify_irq" followed by four "Machine check events
logged".
May 16 10:03:37 lan51 kernel: [73338.698074] mce_notify_irq: 28

Accident, deleted .config
by Bob Goodwin
I managed to delete .config which takes out a large group of
directories. I can boot the computer but can't run X.
I am about to re-install F-14 out of desperation unless someone
knows a way to repair the damage. It will be a few weeks before
F-15 will be available and I would like to keep that computer
working until then.
Any suggestion, what to do next?

F 14 Kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64 won't boot !
by Andrew Gray
Hi
While kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64 works fine on my main desktop on
my laptop Athlon 64 with dual boot of windows it fails !
The fedora file system is encrypted and normally within 5 seconds of
booting it asks for the encryption pass phrase.
With kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64 it seems to spend five minutes with
the disk access light on then eventually asks for the pass phrase but
when entered it does nothing !
Can't get any debug as it appears to fail to open the encrypted file
system even when eventually given the pass phrase !
Kernel 2.6.35.13-90.fc14.x86_64 work fine on the dual boot laptop !

Change in requirements for Board, FESCo, and FAmSCo candidates
by Tom Callaway
There has been an amendment to the requirements for candidates to
elected (and appointed) roles in Fedora's Community, including (but not
limited to) the Fedora Board, Fedora Engineering Steering Committee, and
the Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee.
Specifically, candidates must not be a citizen of an export-restricted
country (see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Export#Embargoed_Destinations|Legal/...
for the list of export restricted countries).
This requirement is applicable immediately, and will apply to candidates
for this upcoming election as well.
Unfortunately, the laws in the United States which Fedora and Red Hat
are subject to place very tight restrictions on the involvement of
citizens of certain countries. Fedora has made its position on this
issue known here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Embargoed_nations
Thank you for your understanding,

An Invitation to Neuroscientists and Physicists: Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Reports First Hand Account of Mind Intrusion and Mind Reading
by x5gfd048fgld2l1 x5gfd048fgld2l1
16 May 2011 Monday 7:28 P.M. Singapore Time
For Immediate Release
SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE - Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) would like to report first hand account of mind intrusion and mind reading. I have been hearing voices for quite some time now but I have not been able to identify the persons physically. A number of un-identified persons have intruded into my mind and they are able to read my thoughts. I could not explain the mechanism by which these un-identified persons have been reading my mind at the moment but there is definitely a scientific explanation for it. I know very clearly that I am not suffering from schizophrenia at all.
I am fully aware that no common man would believe me except the select few scientific researchers working in top secret government projects and the human guinea pigs who are being experimented on. One of the possibilities is that I have a microchip implanted into my brain, possibly when I was an infant. It may take a few years, a few decades, or even a few centuries before mind reading is finally brought to light before the general public.
I would like to invite neuroscientists, engineers and physicists to speak on the scientific explanation behind mind intrusion and mind reading.
Please remember what Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) have said. Mark my words. You will know the truth in future. It is no longer a conspiracy theory. I can affirm that it (mind intrusion and mind reading) is indeed happening to me.
Yours truly,
Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics)(Singapore Polytechnic) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering)(National University of Singapore)
