Update 802.11n Official Standard
by Lawrence E Graves
Will there be an 802.11n official standard firmware or software update
handed down for those who are using the 1500 draft n wifi in their
laptops or will we have to go and buy them if they are available?

backup copy of F14 boots, but can't login
by Jackson Byers
My backup copy of F14 boots, all looks normal,
boot messages all "OK"
but then I can't login: after entering my password
the screen recycles to the login screen,
and continues to do this if I keep trying.
[byers@f14 ~]$ uname -r

External USB-drive and F15
by Hiisi
Hi, folks!
Recently I have been granted with external usb-drive. It's 3TB FA
GoFlex Desk of Seagate:
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/external-hard-drive/de...
I've formatted it as ext4 and plugged into machine running F 15. I use
it as apache server directory and as mysql data directory (this
computer serves as internal testing server for web-developers).
Everything works perfect except that I see a lot of errors in dmesg output:
[198659.222949] EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_find_entry:933:
inode #53477379: comm updatedb: reading directory lblock 0

[199835.185391] 00 4f 00 c2 40 50
What's wrong with it? Should I test it somehow? Is it broken and must
be replaced?
Another question here. Could anyone suggest how to prevent disk from
going into sleep mode? When it sits by weekends without work it stops
and after that it takes a few minutes to start it again. By the way, I
put following to /etc/fstab in order drive to be mounted during boot
process:
UUID=632ce2dc-97e5-47ed-9ddf-2217f136e637 /srv ext4 defaults 1 2
TIA

Wifi Firmware update
by Lawrence E Graves
Is there going to be a wifi firmware update to accommodate the new
802.11n standard recently released. I am using the Pro/Wireless 4965 AG
or AGN Wifi card and can not connect to my recently purchase Overdrive
Pro 3g/4g. It is equipped with the new 802.11n and my card will not
connect to it except through the g mode. Please advise.

Oh no! Something has gone wrong. (GNOME 3 login issue)
by Valent Turkovic
Hi guys and galls,
I'm testing few older gpraphics cards and few nvidia cards have issue
when using nouveao module that after typing in login info I don't see
GNOME Shell nor compatible mode dekstop but just get message saying:
"Oh no! Something has gond wrong. A problem has occured and the system
can't recover. Please log out and try again."
This looks like Fedora tried to load GNOME Shell but it didn't detect
card features correctly so it fails. My question is why GNOME doens't
just switch to compatible mode instead of crashing?
Which logs are relevant with this issue? Should I look at X log or
GNOME Shell has some of its own logs, and if it has where are they
located? I'm interested to see what causes the issue.
I tried also loading nvidia proprietary module but it looks it doesn't
support latest X in Fedora 15.
I'm willing to work with devels to track down bugs and make Fedora 15
and GNOME Shell better but need some guidance.
Cheers,
Valent.

Re: Fedora 13 End of Life - STILL can't update to F15

People,

No-one has been able to offer a solution to the boot problem for 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 - so I am
reposting in the hope that someone will see it this time who has a
solution.
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 . .
Xorg.0.log attached and any suggestions about fixes or debugging
appreciated . .
Regards,
Phil.

Howto change window colours in GNOME3
by Jouk Jansen
L.S.
How can I change the colour scheme of the windows in GNOME3? (I hate the
greyish colours and my eyes are more suited to some other colours) In GNOME2
I could do this with the gnome-appearance-properties, which seems to be
absent in GNOME3. I tried the gnome-tweak-tool, but that one only allows for
different themes, but not the colour schems of the themes.

Skype on Fedora 14
by mike
Has anyone had any luck running Skype on Fedora 14 86_x64. It installs
just fine but, when I try to launch it nothing happens!
I get nothing in messages or demesg to show it even attempted to
launch! Is it like Flash and needs to be wrapped in order to work? If
so how?
