compile, just locks up the compiling process.

help! can't login
by Don Raikes
Hi all,
I have fedora 10 installed on my gateway desktop.
It has been running fine for several weeks.
Over the weekend, I had ot reboot the system, and when the grub boot menu appears, the system just locks up.
I have no keyboard control, and cannot get the system to proceed at all.
There is only one entry in my menu.lst file, which is the same entry that has been there for a month now.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Fedora on Asus M3N78-EM, anyone?
by M. Fioretti
Greetings,
my motherboard just died, so I'm shopping for an urgent replacement which
should be (of course) 100% Fedora compatible. Right now, the best solution
(*) *may* be the ASUS M3N78-EM, which has an on-board nVidia geforce 8300
chipset.
I have already searched with google, of course, but honnestly haven't
found (or recognized, at least) enough information to understand if all
the hw of this motherboard will work without problems with F9 or F10
x86_64 and if/what special tweaking would be needed to
make it work: while I'd really, really like to not recompile kernel or
drivers unless I'm forced to do it, I have no problem to mess with config
files and such, as long as I know from the start that the hw is
Linux-compatible.
So, what do you say? Would this be a good choice for a Fedora box? Any
feedback is welcome!
TIA,
Marco
(*) as in "the cheapest card which is available at the corner store, since
I MUST restore that PC asap to work on it; is physically compatible with
the CPU and case I already have; has firewire and all the other I/Os I
need"

F9. KDE. Lost restart, and shutdown buttons after latest update
by Nigel Henry
I initially had one user set up on F9, and had all 3 buttons (logout, restart,
and shutdown) available when pressing the "leave" button on KDE's menu. I
added another user, and still had all 3 options when pressing the leave
button. that applied to whichever user I was logged in to.
The latest updates as of 20081216, which updated a load of KDE stuff, have
reset the goalposts somewhat, as now when I press the leave button for either
user, all I get is the option to logout. The restart, and shutdown buttons no
longer exist.
Anyone know which file to edit, to get all 3 options showing again, when I
press the leave button in KDE's menu.
I've been into system settings > advanced > session manager, and the "offer
shutdowns options" box is still checked.
Any pointers to resolve the problem will be very welcome.
Nigel.

jackd problem (probably)
by Andras Simon
I'm trying to use rakarrack, which uses jackd, in F7 (yes, I
know, and yes, I will upgrade it real soon now). I first used the
onboard sound (intel-hda) and it worked, except that it gave
terrible noises. On an older (F5) machine with a standalone sound
card, there was no such problem, so I put that soundcard in the
F7 box. (I disabled the onboard audio to make life simpler.) It
does work for non-jackd applications, but rakarrack doesn't even
seem to get any signal, as indicated by the meters.
It's not a mixer problem, because the guitar is clearly audible,
it's just as if rakarrack were switched off (except that it
produces some background noise).
Any idea how to debug this?

kudzu replacement
by don fisher
I have upgraded my computer and wish to update the hardware
configuration. Kudzu did this in previous releases. What now takes the
place of the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file? If this has been superseded,
please advise as to new application.
Thanks

FC10 Network issue, no IPV4 address
by Tim and Alison Bentley
I do not think I have changed anything in the last few days but my FC10
(fully patched) KDE desktop has network problems when starting.
When ifconfig is run following startup I do not have an IPV4 address from my
dhcp router. When I stop and start the network service I get an IP address
and I can see my network and the internet.
Does anyone have any ideas what I have broken?

Wha hoppena QTparted??!!
by Beartooth
My main #1 machine has two hard drives, one with a brand new, not
yet usable install of F10, and one (alas!) that still has XP (for making
proprietary map software talk to my GPSs).
Formerly, running QTparted against it (not using QTparted, just
launching it!) would show both drives, labeled with logos.
That was invaluable whenever I upgraded Fedora or installed it
anew -- I'm exactly the sort of guy who says Walter when I mean Wolfram,
or Goethe when I mean Schiller; it would be just like me to get my hard
drives backward, thus wiping out ten years of hoarded GPS data.
Now it only shows one hard drive! Why? Why??

OT: Looking for tool to manage pdf documents
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
I have many pdf documents, which I would like to organize to allow for
a better search for, e.g., by keywords, etc. Is there some open source
tool for that? I used Google Desktop, but it was quite heavy to my
computer. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
