Power management
by Paulo Cavalcanti
Hi,
I am not being able to make Power Management work
in two cases: to hibernate or power off my laptop when
the battery is in a critical condition or to suspend my laptop,
after, for example, one hour of inactivity.
Everything else woks just fine.
I am using gnome in F8.
Thanks.

fedora 9 problem
by Lalit Singh Rawat
Hi Group,
I bought a new "Toshiba Satellite-Pro P300 laptop" to run fedora 9 on it. I
have successfully installed it it. When i am trying to boot Grub is also
looking good. But after that nothing is happening, i mean kernel is not
responding properly. No lights are flashing which indicates about the
harddisk.
Even during the boot i have change the root to
ide=nodma pci=routeirg
It boot successfully twice after that. But third time it is still not
booting.
Now i am wondering why it is not working.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks

Slow X in F9 on Intel integrated graphics
by Peter Langfelder
Hello,
sorry if this has been discussed before, my search turned up nothing
appropriate. I have a Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz system with 4GB of memory and
integrated Intel graphics (GMA 3000, system reports 82Q963/Q965
integrated graphics controller), running on the intel driver (says
experimental...). The performance of the X system feels as if it were
running over a moderately slow internet connection. As suggested on
the internet, I ran glxgears and got roughly 140 fps, which sounds low
compared to the thousands people report on other machines (with
different cards). Anything I can do about it?
TIA,
Peter

Thunderbird update problem
by Mark Haney
Wow, it must be my time for problems with Tbird. I'm trying to update
to the latest version (2.0.0.14-1) in yum but when I do I get this:
Running Transaction
Updating : thunderbird [1/2]
Error unpacking rpm package thunderbird-2.0.0.14-1.fc9.i386
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.14/dictionaries: cpio: rename
Updated: thunderbird.i386 0:2.0.0.14-1.fc9
Complete!
I've tried 'yum clean all', but that doesn't seem to help. What's going
on here?

wusb100 linksys usb adapter
by Joe W. Byers
Has anyone got the linksys wusb100 adapter working with Fedora 9? I got
the wusb54G to work with no problems. But, this range booster version
is not recognized by F9.
lsusb shows that the adapter is there, but ifconfig does not see it nor
can I use the network to create wlan0.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Joe

need suggestions on troubleshooting pgadmin3
by Craig White
Pgadmin3 (postgresql administrator GUI, I presume GTK+ program)
My home desktop has been upgraded, probably since FC-4 or FC-5 and now
on F9
If I launch Pgadmin3, it sticks at the splash screen and never
progresses and I can only kill it. It upgraded a month ago or so, same
thing.
I have removed the rpm and re-installed (both the one from F9-base and
F9-updates) but either way, same issue.
I asked the list and others report having no problems running
pgadmin-i386.
If I launch (as user or even as root), it hangs the same way, with nary
anything to standard error or standard out.
I can't strace it because by the time I launch it, get the pid and try
to strace it, it's already hung.
Anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot it?
Craig
FWIW...(technical details if anyone is inclined)

nvidiafb problems
by Russell Miller
I have been having this problem for a while. I was told on the fedora IRC
channel that "this has nothing to do with fedora" and to stop my blathering,
but I think that it is something that perhaps the community should at least
be aware of and perhaps even hopefully can help me to solve.
I am having an odd problem with nvidiafb. I have written a program to do a
mandelbrot set over framebuffer, just to learn how to make mandelbrot sets
and how to use the framebuffer. The program worked fine on some old
hardware I had - an older nvidia AGP card. But after I upgraded to a 6200,
along with a Dual-core X2-based motherboard, suddenly it stops working.
More accurately, the framebuffer works fine at 1280x1024 until I start the
program, at which time the image moves rapidly across the screen,
reminiscent of an old TV that has lost its horizontal sync. This does not
happen at 640x480, and going up in resolution the side-to-side motion gets
progressively faster.
Obviously, this is useless for my purposes.
I worked with the directfb people to try to rule out directfb being the
culprit. After I managed to get this working under VESA (with no
acceleration, obviously, so it's almost useless), that pretty much ruled out
directfb being the problem. So I'm having to think that for some reason the
nvidiafb driver is just not playing nice with my card.
I should also note that it seems to detect an "NV22" card, with 64M of
memory. I have an NV44 card with 256M of memory. Oddly enough, it seems to
get that number from the PCI device ID, and really doesn't seem to care what
it actually *is*.
I'll paste some lspci output, etc., in hopes that it is useful.
lspci for this card:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200]
(rev a1)
dmesg output on module being loaded:
nvidiafb: Device ID: 10de0221

nvidiafb: MTRR set to ON
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x64
nvidiafb: PCI nVidia NV22 framebuffer (64MB @ 0xC0000000)
I should also note that a program that worked JUST FINE on the old hardware
using the directfb libraries now randomly segfaults.

Double checking grub-install ??
by Bill Case
Hi;
I have to run fixmbr on my WindowsXP harddisk (sda). I assume this use
of fixmbr will blow away my grub. So after running fixmbr I will go to
my Fedora rescue disk and do:
grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sdb
That is; I want grub stage1 on the mbr of sda while I want stage2 on
sdb /boot.
I am looking for confirmation that this is a correct strategy and the
proper use of the grub-install command.

copy using nautilus and timestamps in Fedora 9
by John T. Margaritopoulos
In Fedora 9 I have noticed that when I copy a file to either to the HD,
where Fedora is installed, or to a usb external HD (both etx3) using
Nautilus the timestamp of the file is not preserved. The original date
of the file is is changed with the date of the copy.
Copy with gnome commander or krusader preserves timestamps. Can I change
this behaviour in Nautilus or there will be a fix update soon?

MPEG video under Fedora 9
by Timothy Murphy
Could some kind soul state as briefly and clearly as possible
what is required to play a .mpg video file under Fedora 9/KDE/Firefox?
On my laptop I see from System Settings=>Advanced=>File Associations
that I am given a choice for mpeg video files of
GXine Video Player
Gnome MPlayer
MPlayer
Movie Player
Kaffeine
As a sample .mpg file I've taken
/usr/share/apps/k3b/extra/k3bphotosvcd.mpg .
[Maybe that is a bad example;
if so could some guru suggest a better one?
One incidental difficulty in solving multimedia problems
under Fedora is that supposed solutions rarely give
a sample file on which the solution can be tested.
Perhaps a selection of multimedia files for testing would be useful.
Is there such a thing anywhere?]
I'm not clear also if Firefox has its own, different,
set of File Associations?
Or will it read those set by Fedora/KDE?
I understand that the Fedora developers have a religious objection
to telling us how to play ungodly video files,
or even telling us where we can get this information.
But it would be nice if a standard godless informant
could be agreed on ...
