F9 & GDM 2.22 : cannot define multiple login servers anymore?
by Rob
Hello,
Fedora 9 ships with a newer version of GDM (2.22), for which the gdmsetup
is missing. I found many discussions on people also missing the setup utility.
However, I couldn't find an answer to my problem:
Before F9, I had GDM configured to produce 3 login screens on my PC, on
vt7, vt8 and vt9, simply by having this line in /etc/gdm/custom.conf :
[servers]
0=inactive
7=Standard vt7
8=Standard vt8
9=Standard vt9
I tried to add this manually to the file, but it does not seem to work anymore.
Has anybody an idea how I can integrate this with GDM 2.22 ?
Thank you,
Rob.

gnome panel icons rearranging themselfes with compiz
by Christoph Höger
Hi,
whenever I restart my fedora 9 laptop
(running Gnome compiz at actual stable versions:
[choeger@choeger6 ~]$ rpm -q gnome-panel
gnome-panel-2.22.2-1.fc9.i386
[choeger@choeger6 ~]$ rpm -q compiz
compiz-0.7.6-2.fc9.i386
) I see my icons (include some applets and starters) in a new randomized
order.
For example currently my cpu frequency applets appear between my
complete name and the current date, nm-applet and battery applet have
gone far left.
Anyone seeing that too? How can that be fixed?
regards

Fedora 9 update causes NetworkManager not to work wireless
by Luis Orlindo Tedeschi
I am having problems with NetworkManager and wireless network. When I
installed Fedora 9 NetworkManager was working fine and able to connect
to wireless networks. However, after I did the first update suggested by
the OS, NetworkManager stopped being able to recognize wireless
networks. I formatted and installed Fedora 9 twice to confirm the
problem. I could not however identify which update is causing this
problem. Anybody having the same problem? Thanks.

microphone not recording
by Marcelo Garcia
Hi.
I have been trying to get my mic work with Skype and Fedora 9. Skype
only works when the device in "Sound In" is set to "ICH6,0", not the
"Default Device (default)". The test call works, but I cannot hear my voice.
The default (System-> preferences-> Hardware-> sound-> Sound Capture) is
set to ALSA. The default mixer is "Intel ICH6 (Alsa mixer)".
I tried to use the "Sound Recorder" tool to see if the mic was working,
but when I try to use, the file is saved, but again no sound.
I think the problem could be in permission to the device. Which one?
/dev/dsp?
Thanks

OFF-TOPIC: Fedora 7 already installed, can't install XP on empty partition
by Andre Costa
Hi,
this is somehow off-topic, but hopefully someone here has been through
this already...
I just bought a shiny new Core 2 Duo machine (Intel DG33BU mobo), with
a nice 250G SATA disk. Fedora 7 installation went surprisingly well
(and fast), only problem was that onboard NIC was not recognized, but
upgrading the kernel offline fixed this. Everything is amazingly fast
=)
BUT... I need this machine to dual-boot to Windows XP (still addicted
to some Windows-only games =( ). XP setup CD hangs just after showing
"examining hardware configuration" or something like that. It doesn't
really hangs, it just switches to a blank screen and sits there
forever (I already left it there for more than 15min to no avail).
Keyboard is responsive and HD led stays on. CTRL+ALT+DEL reboots as
expected.
I talked to IT guys at work and they told me they've been through this
already lots of times, it seems XP is unable to properly recognize the
disk when only Linux is installed on it (?!?), and only solution would
be to reformat the whole thing and install XP first.
Is that true?
My system is configured as:
~ fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 10467 83971755 8e Linux LVM
HD specs are:
~ hdparm -I /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
ATA device, with non-removable media
Model Number: SAMSUNG SP2504C
Serial Number: S09QJ1SP208120
Firmware Revision: VT100-50
GRUB is installed on MBR. All remaining space is sitting there,
waiting for XP to take over... =/
Anyone knows of a workaround? Should I try to create an additional
partition on the empty space and format it as VFAT hoping this would
make Windoze less stupid? Or am I doomed to remove all partitions and
start from scratch, starting with XP?
TIA

by Mustafa Qasim
Hello!
I've just installed F9 in my Vmware workstation 6 but I couldn't
change my defualt 800x600 resolution to 1024x768. Is VMware causing this
problem? Any Idea.

F9: Canon LBP2900 no go: "usblp1: error -32 reading printer status"
by Colin Brace
Hi all,
I am trying to get a Canon LBP2900 laser printer working under F9.
Alas, the driver is (apparently) closed and not included in the Caps
package, which might be a reason to avoid this printer, but be that as
it may, one can download a Linux driver easily enough from Canon:
http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010177.asp
These are the latest RPMs:
2007-12-03 08:49 cndrvcups-capt-1.60-1.i386.rpm
2007-12-03 08:49 cndrvcups-common-1.60-1.i386.rpm
Once installed, CAPS automatically recognizes the printer and selects
what appears to be the correct driver:
Canon LBP2900 CAPT ver.1.5
Likewise, the printer shows up properly in dmesg:
usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26
usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usblp1: USB Bidirectional printer dev 26 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9
pid 0x2676
usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=2676
usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-4: Product: Canon CAPT USB Device
usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Canon
usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 0000A380HGkZ
but if I try a test page, nothing happens. The only indication that
something is wrong is this error message repeatedly displayed in dmesg:
usblp1: error -32 reading printer status
Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks.

I made that "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|most" and started slogging.
Other than the two lines below, I see nothing that even might be
enlightening.

actually a USB mouse, currently behind a MiniView G-CSIO4U KVM switch.)
===== ===== =====
Btw, I *run* machines behind the KVM switch; but I *install* OSs,
one machine at a time, with the machine pulled out from behind the switch
and connected directly to the peripherals.
