vmware problem in F11
by Adrin Jalali
Hi.
I'm using F11, and I've installed vmware 6.5.2 on that. The problem is that
when I run microsoft windows which was working well before with F10, it
starts reading/wriying to my hard drive, which seems to be all page faults,
because there is no direct hard disk usage. All is IO wait. Partition type
is ext3. System RAM is 4GB and 2GB is dedicated for vmware.
Best,
Adrin.

Triage Day tomorrow
by Adam Williamson
Yes, tomorrow after the Bugzappers meeting is Triage Day, as always. If
a few people are going to be around we could perhaps look at potential
F11 blocker bugs. I've also invited the new volunteers from the last two
weeks to come along, so hopefully some of them will show up to be
introduced to triaging. So please stick around after the meeting, or
drop by during the day, if you can! Thanks guys.

F10 - safe temp limits ?
by Arne Chr. Jorgensen
What is safe temperatures for AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-60 ?
While reading the list in Firefox, fan-increased and found that
cpu0 increased to 100% while chewing on xorg. Temperature increased.
Acpi TZ1 dropped out somewhere, falling to 18 degree centigrade, while
core0 temp climbed to 100 degrees. Then cpu1 started being loaded, and
this went to 100% as well. When core temperatures passed 110 degrees, I
hit power-off. But soon hit power-on as then I would have the cooling
fans. It took about 30 seconds or more before it was possible to get
the Bios startup screen shown.
Unpleasant "smelling" hot, I would say. Anyone know safe limits ?
Firefox for Microsoft in Wine is looping if you try to minimize the window.
and with desktop-effects, windows is only painted partly before they halt.
They will continue if you click inside them or you do something else that
may trigger them to continue.
What is M/B temperature by the way ?

F11pre: Strange setting in inittab
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I just installed F11pre as an update from F10 and while going through
all the *.rpmnew files came across this line from /etc/inittab:
id:3:initdefault
rather than the more conventional:
id:5:initdefault
Is this a bug or a feature (he said, expecting the answer "yes")?

Problems with preupgrade
by shmuel siegel
I tried to run preupgrade to update my fc10 x86_64 system to rawhide.
The process successfully downloaded 1.8 G of updates but the anaconda
install failed. Among other symptoms it says that turnOnSwap was called
from upgrade.py line 313 with 1 non-keyword argument but needs 2
What is more confusing is that it said that it was installing fc9
modules and updating fc10 modules even though nearly everything in
/var/cache/yum/preupgrade/packages is fc11.

F11 Preview problems
by Jim Bevier
Hello all,
I tried the i386 live CD and i386 install DVD. I had a Nvidia Riva TNT card
in one system (I was running RedHat 7.1, don't ask), and it could not start
X during startup. I tried vga=791 and xdriver=vesa, but X would not work.
I removed the card and used the built-in video chip, and it started up
without a problem. Anyone know of a work around for this nvidia driver
problem? This system also had a second network card that was unused. F11
assigned the built-in ethernet to eth1 and the card to eth0. Of course, I
was using the built-in ethernet. Anyway to reassign which device is eth0 &
eth1?
The second system was a dual AMD system and installation went ok. It had
two ethernet cards, and was to be configured as a server/router between two
networks. (192.168.1.0 & 192.168.0.0) After some playing around, I
finally got sshd, rcp-server, nfs, telnetd, bind, and samba to work for my
internal domain. I could not get the vnc server (TigerVNC) to work. It
says it was missing some fonts. Anyone know what font I need to install to
get it to work?
One last thing, it seems the floppy disk light remains on all the time.
This is not the case on a rawhide system I have (not preview). Is this a
new "feature"?
I like the new graphics. I think the Fedora community will make themselves
proud with this release.

F11 monitor configuration / virtualization
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn
Hi,
Where did the monitor configuration go in f11? I've booted a virtualized
instance of F11 using kvm but can only get a maximum resolution of 800x600.
The monitor is displayed as "unknown" and there seems to be no way to
select one (like for example a generic 1280x1024 one).
I'm also running an instance of WinXP using kvm and there I get higher
resolutions out of the box.
Regards,
Dennis

Mouse
by Lawrence E Graves
My mouse will not switch from left-handed to right-handed. As you know,
I am inexperienced with the back end of Fedora, so I am completely in
the dark when it comes to trying to explain what is going on. May I
please get some help with understanding what is going on.
