[F16] Why PAE kernel with 1 GB RAM?
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz
Hello Fedora fans!
Freshly installed Fedora 16 for 32 bit (i686) from DVD on a Pentium 4
with 1 GB RAM. Why does Fedora 16 installs a PAE kernel by default?
Previous versions of Fedora (on that machine) did not install the
PAE kernel but the regular one.
I've seen people on the web asking why they did *not* get a PAE kernel
on their F16/i686 with 4 GB RAM or more. So why did I get PAE?
According to Red Hat, PAE comes with a performance hit from 0 to 10%.
I don't plan to put any additional RAM in that machine, so I'll never
need PAE and instead I prefer to get maximum CPU performance.
Unfortunately, the installation of the regular kernel & kernel-devel
packages with "rpm -Uvh" from the DVD didn't update /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
Is there are clean way to make the non-PAE kernel the default kernel?
I would have used "yum localinstall" but because the machine has no
Internet connection, yum failed because of some trouble with repomd.xml.
Shouldn't "rpm" run the same pre/post-processing scripts as yum?
Greetings, Andreas

Connect to Wi-Fi AP based on mac address?
by Fernando Cassia
I wonder if there is a way to make a wifi adapter connect to an access
point but based on its mac address instead of SSID?.
The situation I have is that there´s two APs with the same SSID but
diferent signal strengts, both open, no encryption, and using
different back end providers.
I do not control the APs, I just want to connect to the farther one,
which I receive with 30% signal quality, instead of the closer one,
with 90% signal.
I run F16 and the adapter is a USB cantenna.
TIA

gdbm automatic login doesn't work in the xfce spin
by Sam Varshavchik
I installed the F16 XFCE spin on this laptop. I copied /etc/gdm/custom.conf
from another Gnome machine that has automatic GDM login working just fine.
On this machine though, the "Automatic Login" gdm banner comes up for a few
seconds, then inexplicably disappears and gets replaced with a regular login
banner.
What's up with that?

Choice of repository error I think
by don fisher
I recently installed F16. I had the fedora-update.repo repository
enabled when I ran yum. Should fedora-updates.repo be enabled?
Yum installed firefox-10.0-1.fc16.x86_64 and
xulrunner-10.0-1.fc16.x86_64. This combination does not appear to work.
I do not know how to get back to where I was before the upgrade. I tried:
yum downgrade
yum distribution-synchronization
after disabling the fedora-updates.repo.
Any assistance would be appreciated. I am trying to return from Ubuntu,
so it has been awhile.

Kernel tainted
by Juan Orti Alcaine
Hello, I see that my kernel is tainted but I don't know which module
to blame. The taint code is 4096, so it must be a out-of-tree module.
I have listed all modules, and all seem to be in-tree, I have used
this command:
# lsmod | awk {'print $1'} | xargs modinfo | grep intree
and all modules have intree: Y
I have examined the kernel logs, but can't find why the kernel is
tainted. I haven't compiled any kernel module myself, all are bundled
in Fedora 16 default kernel.
How can I debug this? These are the modules loaded:

Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003 Hybrid 750GB

This drive uses 4KB sectors.
My older 750GB Seagate drive uses 512 sectors.
Do the current Linux filesystems and partitioners support this new 4K
sector drive?
Thanx,

Fedora 14=>16 Logrotate, Systemctl, Httpd, SSL problem
by Philip Rhoades
People,
I have upgraded my server from Fedora 14 to Fedora 16 (x86_64) - most
things are going again happily but there are a few remaining problems -
the main one at the moment involves Logrotate, Systemctl, Httpd and SSL.
My logrotate.conf is set up for daily rotations so I get old logs like:
/var/log/httpd/access_log-20120202
but, presumably because of the changes from "service" to "systemctl"
and a problem with restarting httpd and not entering a password at the
tty prompt, logged data continues to be sent to the old, rotated file
ie:
/var/log/httpd/access_log-20120202
instead of:
/var/log/httpd/access_log
It looks like this was a known issue with the introduction of Fedora 15
and that it should have been fixed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707917
- but it doesn't appear to be in my case - is there something I am
missing?
Thanks,
Phil.

pyQt on Windows and Mac ? Android ?
by linux guy
I need to write a mostly simple multi platform application. USB
upload/download, open a file, etc.
I'm wondering how pyQt works these days on Windows and Mac (OSX Lion,
more properly, I guess).
Is there anything better for a simple multi platform app ?
Thanks

Wireless network drop outs on XPS17 (F16, Centrino Advanced N)

I'm running F16-KDE-64 on a Dell XPS17 laptop.
It is continually dropping wireless connections. It works and then it
doesn't work. Very annoying.
I am managing wireless with Network manager.
Any ideas ?
