wmx on fedora-release-9-2
by John Summerfield
Too few menu items, I think, to be useful. I can't access seamonkey,
openoffice.org, my favourite multimedia apps, virt* or any software
development tools except via xterm.

Lost keyboard in fedora-release-9-2. in X
by John Summerfield
System: HP DC7700
OS fedora-release-9-2, AMD-64.
Last updated within the past two houes.
I logged in at runlevel 5 using KDM, choosing icewm or fvwm.
On logging out, the mouse continues to work fine, but the keyboard not
at all. No keypresses, no lights toggle when I press appropriate keys.
Switch to a VC (using the mouse, <ctrl>-<Alt>-F1 does not work),
keyboard and mouse are fine.
Recovery:
telinit 3;sleep 10s;telinit 5.
Nothing obvious to me in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

Fedora 9 Preview on PS3
by Robert M. Albrecht
Hi,
has anyone installed F9 Preview on a PS3 ?
My installation always crashes after tranferring the installation image to
disk, happens in text & graphics mode.
I connected an usb-floppy-disk, but the crash dumps does not get written on
the disk.
I use a netbook cd, the installation source is a nfs-server.

Shutdown fails (NetworkManager?)
by Leon Stringer
Hi,
My F9 system intermittently refuses to shut down with:
nm-system-settings: Could not get the system bus. Make sure the message
bus daemon is running! Message: Failed to connect to socket
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused
Can anyone suggest how to fix this or is it a bug?
Thanks,
Leon...

Screen turns off during startup
by Leon Stringer
Hi,
I've had a problem for a few days with the screen turning off (power
saving) when the the graphical progress display would ordinarily appear.
Unfortunately it never turns back on. (Video adapter is Intel 82845G).
I can work around it by booting to runlevel 3 and then init 5.
Is anyone seeing this or know about it or should I just file a bug.
Thanks,
Leon...

No firefox 32bit in Fedora 9 x86_64 repo
by Dougal Ballantyne
Hi,
I have just starting testing Fedora 9 Preview x86_64 and noticed that
the 32bit build of firefox is not in the x86_64 repo anymore?
Is there a reason for dropping this package. I find it extremely
useful as I usually removed 64bit firefox and use only 32bit to get
better plugin support.

How do I test the release candidate
by Clyde E. Kunkel
How do I do this? I tried the boot.iso disk and selected URL as the
source for the installation, but I constantly get a message about
missing repodata, either your URL or repository is wrong. And it shows
it looking for Fedora-anaconda-20080510 (or something like that).

Fedora 8 to 9 preupgrade report
by Waqas Bhatti
Hi all,
I just went through a (mostly) successful Fedora 8 to 9 upgrade using
the preupgrade package. A short report follows:
- I used preupgrade 0.9.3 pulled from Koji (0.9.2 appears to be broken).
- The initial depchecking/downloading new packages went fine.
- preupgrade couldn't put Stage 2 of anaconda onto my /boot partition
because it didn't have enough space. I had the normal current + 1
previous kernel setup, with about 82 MB free out of ~100 MB, but this
isn't enough. Not sure if this might be a common problem as people try
preupgrades.
- The reboot put me directly into the preupgrade process with no
GRUB menu. Again, not a real problem, but might be a bit jarring.
Stage 2 was downloaded correctly, and the graphical install went off
without a hitch.
- Sulphur booted up just fine. Everything looks and appears to be
working correctly.
- PackageKit popped up with updates to my livna packages, so that was
a nice surprise.
A few problems:
- gnome-terminal now starts in the ~/Desktop folder. Is this an upstream
change? I couldn't see any way to get back to the previous behavior,
either in the options, or in gconf-editor. Help?
- emacs is now emacs-22.2, so typing emacs doesn't launch emacs anymore.
The link 'Applications > Accessories > Emacs Text Editor' is also broken.
An alias in /etc/bashrc took care of this, but it's slightly annoying.
Is this a known issue?
- NVIDIA proprietary drivers don't work, but that's not really a Fedora
problem. The nv driver works fine, however, and brings up the
correct resolution and color depth.
Overall, it was a remarkably painless experience.
Nicely done, Fedora people! :-)
