ATI/Radeon cards are kind of problematic. Guess you were bitten in some way as I have :(, as I have an integrated ATI card:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series]
while I can at least run it, before my machine was freezing for no apparent reason. Do you have any proprietary drivers installed?
Also do you have an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

nautilus VS samba
by Fred Smith
I apologize for YET ANOTHER question...
I've got some SAMBA shares on various systems around the house here. What
I'm primarily concerned with right now is the shares on my main linux box
(Centos 5).
I've got F10 installed on a laptop (eeepc 901, in case it matters, which I
doubt). it can access (via nautilus) all the various windows shares
EXCEPT those on said Centos box.
I can access shares on that machine from my wife's windows box, and from
the old win98 I have in a vmware session. No problem.
But in nautilus on the fedora 10 box it just says:
Unable to mount location
Failed to retrieve share list from server.
Now this is weird: On that same laptop, as an ordinary user, I can open
a terminal and type in this command:
smbclient //192.168.2.12/dirname mypassword -U myusername
and voila, I'm connected to my shared home dir on the Centos box.
I've been looking at samba troubleshooting guides, so far with no
progress. But it seems to me that since smbclient appears to work fine
that it's not a samba problem.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks!

Pasuspender broken in F10?
by Jonathan Ryshpan
Has anyone been able to use pasuspender successfully in F10? Here's
what I get when I try to start it; it looks like the argument parsing
code is now working right. Also the help function looks weird since it
doesn't give any program to start, and it doesn't correspond to the man
page.
$ pasuspender jackd
Failure to suspend: Invalid argument
$ pasuspender -- jackd
Failure to suspend: Invalid argument
$ pasuspender --help
pasuspender [options] ...
-h, --help Show this help
--version Show version
-s, --server=SERVER The name of the server to connect to

Updating and installing packages without an internet connection
by Suvayu Ali
Hi all,
I am getting a new desktop probably today, and is going to install F10 on
it. However my problem is I don't have an internet connection at home. So is
there a way to apply updates? I did find some suggestions in the archives.
Most said to download all the updates onto some media and use rpm -Fvh
*.rpm. Even if I overlook the size of the downloads, this won't work if I
were to install new packages. How would dependency resolution work in that
case? Is there any way I can find that out beforehand and download all the
dependency pacakges as well?
The only machines with an internet connection I have access to, are at the
university. However since all of them run Ubuntu, doing an rpm query on the
new package is not feasible. Any suggestions?

Looking for Ideas on a User-friendly Join Process
by Marc Ferguson
Hi,
My name is Marc Ferguson. I recently joined the websites group for Fedora
Project and I've been assigned to help figure out a very universal and
user-friendly way to tweak http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora. Can you
please respond to this thread and let us know what your process is for
people to join your group. In the end we want to make sure we're all "on
the same page" and that the joining process is much easier, thus increasing
the contributors to the project. Thanks.

F8->F10: A couple of quirks after preupgrade
by Richard Shaw
Actually, preupgrade ran fine it was after the reboot that the
problems started. First, I have no idea what happened to my video but
anaconda must have gotten something wrong because all I saw was green
vertical lines spaced all the way across the screen (Vizio 32" LCD),
however, I remembered from two other machines that it basically does
it's thing and reboots when it's done so that's what I let it do.
Apparently there are some Gnome and KDE i386 packages that are no
longer needed on X86_64 systems because my first 'yum update' had
failed dependency checks because of this. I expected to have issues
with any 3rd party repo stuff but not Fedora installed packages.
Should anaconda or yum (--obsoletes maybe?) be smart enough to handle
this situation?
Another quirk, switchdesk no longer appears to work. This was my
MythTV system which is barely capable of running HD so I have been
using fluxbox but after the upgrade gnome loaded and even after
explicitly running 'switchdesk fluxbox" which reports success, gnome
still loads.
Lastly, switchdesk does not seem to support LXDE. Am I wrong in
assuming that switchdesk should support all the official Fedora DE's?
I like using switchdesk because it seems there 1000 ways to make your
DE run and I want to do in the "best practice" way.
Thanks,
Richard
