Not enough info, so no point
by n2xssvv.g02gfr12930
For my PC
Fedora 15 update fails
Fedora 15 install CD fails to boot
Fedora 15 Live KDE fails to boot
All fail to finish initialising hardware.
smolt page :
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_4917245b-ea15-44b1-ae4d-788c70a5a3d9
Result : I shall not be updating to Fedora 15 any time soon
I provide this information reluctantly based on my previous experience
posting to this community, which laughingly suggests it provides
assistance, encouragement, and advice.

F15 connection sharing
by Pasha R
I'm trying to figure out the connection sharing option in F15. I
connect to internet using PPPoE, and, till now, I used "old" network
configuration (and disabled network manager) to setup a static IP
address and PPPoE connection, and then used masquerading to share
connection to other computers on the network.
In F15 I can't find a way to make such configuration and also can't
find an option in NM to enable connection sharing for DSL connection.
Is there anything I'm missing?

No sound since upgrading to F15
by John Aldrich
I had working sound in Fedora 14, but now since upgrading to Fedora 15,
there is no sound. What gives??? The ONLY option in systemsettings for
sound is Pulseaudio. XMMS has options for OSS, ArtsD, and Alsa. Are those
deprecated or something??? any idea why I can't get sound any more???

KDE Laggy in Fresh F15
by Kevin H. Hobbs
I just did a fresh install of Fedora 15 x86_64 with KDE.
KDE is mostly unusable in Fedora 15 while it was fine in Fedora
14 (with nvidia driver).
The display seems to freeze for a few seconds every few seconds.
Menus take seconds to open.
Windows leave garbage on the display when they are moved or re-sized.
New windows are often filled with garbage before they are drawn
all the way.
KDE automatically disables the desktop effects.
I installed and switched to fluxbox and everything is snappy.
Without all of the KDE decoration firefox went from unusable to
normal under fluxbox.
I have not installed any software not in Fedora's repository (no
nvidia drivers).
System details that might be usefull:
lenovo S10
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
4 GB of DDR3 1067 MHz RAM
nVidia Corporation G86 [Quadro NVS 290]
nouveau driver is loaded and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Screen spans two 1600x1200 CRTs

Bingo! Strange though. The man page for mount.ntfs has no mention of that option.

Why on the Earth GNOME Shell hiding Shutdown & Restart options
by Juan R. de Silva
Could anybody explain it, why GNOME folks decided to hide the Shutdown
and especially Restart buttons/options from a user so well? Is it
especially dangerous to use them nowadays? Or GNOME folks assume people
do not shutdown/restart their computers anymore?
This "feature" could drive crazy any user new to GNOME 3.0. I tried it
from the LiveCD first and get caught like a mouse in a trap. Good for me
I had Internet connection and found on google, ALT button changes Suspend
to Shutdown. At least I had this option.
But again, since I was running it from the LiveCD I needed Restart
instead. You see, Fedora boot loader was picking up and locking DVD
drive after restarting system so fast, it was "mission impossible" to
open a tray and to remove the CD. Since I could not figure out how to
restart the system, I had to shut it down, then reached BIOS, disabled CD
boot and only then I was able to remove that damn CD from a tray.
"Revolution" indeed.

Protected WLAN
by Misha Shnurapet
Hi.
Which WLAN protection method would you recommend?
* Shared key
* WPA-Personal
* WPA2-Personal
My router also supports Radius with 802.1x and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, but these require strange stuff like certificates that leave me clueless. :)

Speakers don't Mute when headphones are plugged in (Speakers & Headphones at the same time) :S
by Manuel Escudero
Since I bought my computer and I installed Linux on it, I had this
problem...
Back in the day I never Found a REAL Solution and finally my solution (in
Fedora)
was installing "pavucontrol" to choose the Devices when I needed to Switch.
Via the Pulse Audio Volume Control I was able to Mute speakers or Headphones
at my will, even if I had both connected, this thing worked from F12 to F14
very well...
(The same problem is present in every distro I tried and sometimes it was
solved the
same way in other distros)
But Now, I'm in F15 And my magic workout doesn't work anymore... it doesn't
matter
wich device I choose as output, the PC simple don't mute one or another and
my headphones
and speakers sound at the same time, Can you tell me How to Fix it?
The Sound card is a HDA INTEL with the Realtek ALC662 rev1 Chip, as I said
before,
I'm using Fedora 15 KDE (64 Bit version) and I'm running ALSA v 1.0.23
Any Help will be really nice
Thanks!
