GDM Greeter
by Christopher L Tubbs II 08 May '08

08 May '08

What does everybody think of the new greeter? Personally, I have issues with it: 1) suspend option remains, even after disabling suspend globally via gconf-editor (bug already reported, and apparently patch has already been committed upstream) 2) I can't seem to configure my "face" image. Putting a ".face" graphic in my home directory doesn't work, nor does configuring image with System->Preferences->Personal->About Me. 3) Why is there an animation between clicking my name and typing my password?!?! Even Windows XP welcome screen is better than this! I want to log in NOW, not when the animation is complete. 4) Where the hell are the login screen settings? This is a serious oversight. I had thought the greeter configuration was supposed to be EASIER than previous releases (I can't remember where I read that, but for some reason I was expecting it). 5) It's ugly. Anybody else have thoughts on the Fedora 9 pre-release greeter? Rainman

monodevelop 1.0
by Dejan Čabrilo 06 May '08

06 May '08

Hello all, As I lost all hope that monodevelop 1.0 will make it into F9, I wanted to check out if anyone gave a shot at packaging monodevelop 1.0. I know there are some significant differences in terms of dependencies compared to the version in rawhide, so I just wanted to see if anyone would share their experiences before I give it a go. Also, when can we expect it in rawhide? Thanks, Dejan

What runs "Setting up disk encryption?"
by Clyde E. Kunkel 06 May '08

06 May '08

How do I get all LVs to activate before activation of disk encryption? I am mounting an encrypted filesystem in fstab that resides on a VG different from my un-encrypted root filesystem. The root LV is initialized in the initrd, but the remaining are not initialized until after udev starts. This apparently leads to an initial failure, based on the msgs I am seeing, for "Starting disk encryption" preceeds "Setting up Logical Volume Management". After LVM is setup, "Starting Disk Encryption" is run again and I can enter the pass phrase and all is well. Tho the problem is currently self healing, it seems that something is out of sync. -- --------------------------------- Regards, Old Fart

Atheros AR5006X Wireless Network Adapter
by ravisagar＠gmail.com 01 May '08

01 May '08

I have Compaq Presario C772TU Laptop. I has Atheros AR5006X Wireless Network Adapter. Yesterday I installed Fedora 8 but I was not able to enable WiFi. 1. I tried configuring WiFi using KNetworkManager, but no luck. 2. I installed Windows driver (.inf and .sys) file in fedora using NDISwrapper. When I tried to scan wlan0 I got the error that "Network doesn't support Scanning: Network is Down". I then tried *ifconfig wlan0 up*but I got following error *SIOCSIFFLAGS.......... *How can I enable WiFi on Fedora 8. Is this problem solved in Fedora 9. I really love Fedora and don't want to switch to any other OS. -- Ravi Sagar ravisagar.in

I just tried preupdate bzr 110. It downloaded everything, asked whether to reboot. I hit the reboot - but there was no grub entry other than the standard fedora boot.

I boot from boot.iso, get dhcp address, specify NFS host & directory, partition the disk, etc. and when it comes time to mount the iso to a loopback device it can't.

Re:After updates, won't boot past the word "grub" with F9
by Joel Gomberg 01 May '08

01 May '08

I'm experiencing the same issue on an F9 x86_64 updated system. I booted with the rescue disk and everything GRUB-related looks fine. I ran a memory test which also checked out. I don't know what component to file a bug against, although my suspicion is that it's anaconda. Any help would be appreciated. The system stops at the word "GRUB" and allows no further input. -- Joel

Keyboard unresponsive after logging out
by Patrick O'Callaghan 01 May '08

01 May '08

After logging out of KDE or Gnome, the login panel (I use kdm) won't respond to the keyboard. I have to restart the X server via the onscreen menu before being able to log in again. Anyone know if this is an X issue or should I report it to bugs.kde.org? poc

When this package appears in F8 or rawhide? On http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PreUpgrade it says its in rawhide, but I do not see any "preupgrade" package anywhere except koji. Adam Pribyl

UUIDs in fstab
by Christopher L Tubbs II 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

Has anybody noticed that F9-pre installer creates an /etc/fstab file based on UUIDs instead of LABELs? I seem to remember everybody all worked up about LABELs instead of the traditional /dev/sda2 type identifiers, in order to simplify changes to hard drive configuration. But now, all of a sudden I've got this 32-character long UUID that makes everything complicated again. Granted, I understand that a UUID is just as good as a LABEL, as far as functionality goes, but LABELs are so much easier to read, compare, and type. Why would the F9 installer choose to create UUIDs instead of readable LABELs? I have no idea. Rainman
