GNOME battery applet eats CPU
by Jurgen Kramer 08 Nov '03

08 Nov '03

Hi, I've just installed Fedora FC1 on my laptop. The first thing I noticed was that my laptop responded very sluggish. After checking with top a found out that the GNOME battery applet was eating a lot of CPU. After disabling the applet the systems responds as it should. This has probably something to do with ACPI (I have ACPI enabled). I read about it on the ACPI mailinglist. Recent ACPI drivers should not have this problems. Any changes this problem will be resolved? Battery status is rather trivial on a laptop...;-) Cheers, Jurgen

gnome-terminal default size
by Matt Whiteley 08 Nov '03

08 Nov '03

I changed the launcher to read 'gnome-terminal --geometry=80x52'. I normally use tabs, but on the occasion I do a shift+ctrl+n for a new window, which opens the default size. Is there a way of changing my default size without resorting to /etc/termcap and changing everyones? thanks, -- Matt Whiteley <matt-whiteley(a)comcast.net>

Laptop + anaconda == problems
by Nicholas Marsh 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

I can't get anaconda to start because X crashes every time it tries to load (XIO: fatal IO error 104). Is this a known issue? Anaconda worked on the same laptop in RH9. How can I get anaconda to load in low rez mode? Thanks.

X hangs on FC 1 install
by Mark Heslep 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

This appears to be dual head radeon related problem: Attempted a clean FC 1 install via NFS. Using a dual head card w/ two LCD panels attached. Install gets through the Anaconda probes for the video card (ATI Fire GL X1), monitor (LCD NEC 1860 ) and USB mouse and then hangs when the Graphical Installer starts X (killing the sync to the monitor). A retry with a 'linux text' install works just fine. Same thing then happens w/ a subsequently running system when starting X using the stock config file. SSH into the box shows the kernel still spinning and X, gdm-binary, greeter still running. The XFree log shows no problems (EEs). Fix: I had the 2nd NEC 1860 attached to the Fire GL during all this and the X log shows probing for it though obviously there was no dual head configuration in the XF86Config file at the install point. I unplugged the 2nd monitor from the Card and all is well; X starts w/ out any trouble. -Mark

Mozilla crashing
by Scott A Phipps 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

I have upgraded from redhat 9 to Fedora Core 1, and am now experiencing crashes with mozilla. Every time I go to www.megatokyo.com it crashes with no errors to the console. It also does this if I run a search on google that bring up any results in japanese.

unable to boot after FC1 upgrade
by Don 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

I know, this is the test list.... my registration to the fedora-list is taking a VERY long time ... :-( Anyway..... It's an older machine (IBM 2144-86P Aptiva Pentium 60MHz, 96Meg RAM) and I have to boot from floppy... it won't even boot from the hard drive ('cause I put in a bigger one than IBM shipped). With RH8 it would boot from the floppy disk then bring up the system from there... works fine... Last night I upgraded to FC1 from RedHat 8 and that went OK... I used the text install because I have never been able to get X working on this machine.... it's under-powered for GUI anyway... When I did the upgrade to FC1, I created a boot diskette... but when all is said and done and I try to boot from there, I just get a message that says "boot failed"... I tried several times... tried re-inserting the disk etc... nope. Now, I try to do the upgrade again, and it just hangs in the "searching for packages to upgrade" stage. (I left it all night in case it was just "slow") I was expecting it to basically go through the upgrade process quickly, giving me a chance to create another boot disk.... Does any body have any ideas how I can get this thing to boot up? I'm trying to avoid having to do a "clean" install and wipe everything out.... it's not major, just inconvenient.... :-) Thanks, Don \|/ (. .) ___ooO-(_)-Ooo___

Installing FC1 to/from Firewire devices
by Alexandre Oliva 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

I've written some instructions and code to enable Fedore Core 1 to install to Firewire hard drives (and, hopefully, from Firewire CDs). They're at http://people.redhat.com/aoliva/snapshots/FC1-firewire/ -> http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/snapshots/FC1-firewire/ If you're interested, please give it a try and let me know whether you find any problems with it. If I get a few success reports, I'll post it to fedora-list later. Thanks, -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva(a){redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva(a){lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer

installation of additional packages
by Albert DE WINT 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

Hi, I installed Fedora from ISO's downloaded on a Mandrake partition. I did not burn the disks. (It's a waste of CDROM's) The initial installation of Fedora Core went fine. Now I would like to add some packages. (I may need some development tools to compile an OSS sound module and to have the nVidia installer compile a 3D driver.) After selecting the packages, Fedora installer requests to insert the 1st CDROM, which obviously I don't have. How can I get the packages from the ISO's, previously stored on my other linux partition? Will I have to burn these ISO disks anyway? Thanks for any assistance. Albert
