Anyone else seeing FF3GA crashing abruptly? I'm going to disable the few plugins I have enabled and continue working. But I haven't added any recently, and this just started today... -Chris

Hdparm F9 usb h\d

by Frank Murphy

sdd is an external usb-h\d, which I use for rawhide testing. Is there any way to tweak hdparm to spindown usb? When not being used, no power button on h\d. blkid /dev/sda1: LABEL="/boot" UUID="512f6a75-532b-4db2-8aba-98ba97a1cadf" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda2: UUID="qtk9k9-hl1y-j94K-88KS-F7o7-gT1l-Up9mdL" TYPE="lvm2pv" /dev/sdc1: LABEL="/work" UUID="77b0e426-be64-4a7e-9ece-335f2f31b7b8" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" /dev/sdd1: LABEL="/boot" UUID="e8bda74c-875a-48fd-9f44-8cd1d45f41b5" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/mapper/Fedora-Release09: UUID="2a50acb7-a724-47ca-9bd5-fb567ac9a40f" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdb1: LABEL="/home" UUID="2e531668-de52-49d4-8830-57839bbc1dfd" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" /dev/Fedora/Release09: UUID="2a50acb7-a724-47ca-9bd5-fb567ac9a40f" TYPE="ext3" /dev/mapper/Fedora-Rawhide: UUID="592d91e1-d33a-42ce-a3a5-f5a46ee02da5" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdd2: LABEL="/home" UUID="48fdc10e-1765-464b-af85-f00be38d542a" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdd3: UUID="xqYNNS-N3Kg-3HBV-2lir-Dd3T-jZy0-ykTV0O" TYPE="lvm2pv" /sbin/hdparm -S 12 /dev/sdd /dev/sdd: setting standby to 12 (1 minutes) SG_IO: bad/missing ATA_16 sense data:: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setidle1) failed: Input/output error Frank

Understanding how dd works

by Dan Track

Hi I've got a xen vm file called test, if I copy it with dd I get the following dd if=/opt/xen/test of=/opt/test-vm.img bs=4096 du -s /opt/xen/test = 1934112 du -s /opt/test-vm.img = 26240040 My question is why is the test-vm.img larger in size than the original? Thanks Dan

Adding an ATA to a F9 installed on a SATA drive

by redhatdude＠bellsouth.net

Hi, I have a two 500 Gb ATA drives that I'd like to add to F9. This computer has the onboard socket for ATA, but F9 is installed on a SATA drive. How do I go about formatting and adding these drives? I'd appreciate a good howto tutorial on the web or step by step instructions here. I've been using Fedora for years, but never had to do this. Thanks, EJ

mounting media without nautilus

by Chris Rouch

I've just set up Fedora 9 on a test machine. i've created a user with gnome the default session. I want to be able to automatically mount removable media when they are inserted. I don't really mind if a nautilus window pops up when they are inserted or not. However I don't want nautilius to draw any icons on the desktop, or the background, and I don't want a nautilus window open all the time. Is this possible? I thought that running 'nautilus -n' might do what I want, but this only works if nautilus is drawing the desktop icons. This is a heavily customized installation, so if what I describe above is working for you on F9 that would also be useful to know. Any help will be appreciated. Chris

[FYI] MSI MegaBook GX700 sound (headphones | flash)

by Olivier Robert

Hi, I'm running f9 x86_64. If you have no sound in your flash videos or when you plug in your headphones, it doesn't disconnect the sound from the speakers: here is a solution. (found on the ubuntu wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/MSIMegabookGX700) One needs to set the working model for the card: Add "options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (create it) After reboot, flash is working as intended and headphones disconnect internal speakers. Hope it helps someone, Olivier

epson usb scanner - device busy

by Carrot Cruncher

hi. just tried to use the scanner in my epson rx425 mfp for the first time since upgrading (actually a brand new install) to fc9. sane-find-scanner returns the following entries when run as root : found USB scanner (vendor=0x0557, product=0x2008) at libusb:001:004 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x080f [USB MFP]) at libusb:003:004 but scanimage -L returns no scanners. if i run scanimage with debugging enabled i get the following : USB error: could not set config 1: Device or resource busy [sanei_usb] sanei_usb_open: libusb complained: could not set config 1: Device or resource busy [sanei_usb] Maybe the kernel scanner driver or usblp claims the interface? Ignoring this error... but i don't know what this means. can anyone help me ? oh, and this exact same setup worked fine in fc8.

gnome-power-manager and critical state battery

by François Patte

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I asked gnome-power-manager to shutdown the computer if the battery level is critical, but it does nothing of the like and when the battery is too low, computer is uncleanly deconnected. Is there some other place than the graphical interface where to manage this preference?

applet showing nfs mounted volumes

by François Patte

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, Is there an applet showing the nfs mounted volumes? I want my clients be aware that some file systems are not mounted on their machine if some problems have occured at boot time.
