display "stretched"
by brian
Since upgrading to 10 a few weeks ago, I've occasionally logged in to
find the display stretched out of shape. Everything appears too tall &
thin. Logging out and back in has always fixed the problem.
I've gone through the logs but I really don't know what I should be
looking for, nor even what information I might post to this list to help
in diagnosing the issue other than my video card info. Can anyone give
me some pointers on what to look for, or what I can provide to help
solve this?
The driver is:
SiS 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter

How to kill qemu without losing (paused) VM?
by Neil Bird
I admit I may be missing something obvious, I'm new to this VM malarkey.
On my F10 running the VM manager (which I'd earlier failed to get working
but I think burst into life when I manually loaded the qemu kmdl):
I can pause the VMs OK, an come back to them later, but the qemu process
is still running, taking up RAM and seemingly eating a little CPU.
Is it not possible to somehow shut the qemu process down on a paused VM
for later restart? 'Disconnecting' seemed to only apply to the VM manager,
and still left the qemus running.

KDE 4.2 update and sound
by Ambrogio
Hi all,
before to update I had no sound at login.
Only sound after a few seconds after login, and music at logoff.
Now, I think kde has solved some problems with my sound cards, and now
is enable to play sound at login.
I would like to know where to change the sound in KDE configuration.
I was unable to found in Systel Settings the place where I can change
the behaviour.
Can someone point me in the right menu?
Bye

logwatch reports kernel errors present
by Steve Blackwell
Every time I boot my machine I get a message like this in logwatch
WARNING: Kernel Errors Present
ACPI Error (nseval-0159): I ...: 12 Time(s)
$ uname -r
2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.x86_64
I don't see anything in /var/log/messages and in /var/log/dmesg I see:
ACPI Error (nseval-0159): Insufficient arguments - method [_OSC] needs 5, found 4 [20080609]
ie, the same error. Google returned a few hits but nothing that explained what this meant. I didn't find anything in redhat bugzilla.
So, what does it mean? Is it important?
Thanks,
Steve.

F10 custom install
by John Wendel
Clueless here,
I've got an F10 install running well, and I'd like to move the system to
a flash disk. This flash will become the boot device for a small system
I'm building. Can I just use "cp" and end up with a workable system? I
know that I need to do a grub install. Anything else?
I'd appreciate any clues about what I need to tweak on the resulting
flash to get it booting/running.
Thanks,

Problem with keyboard layout in kvm virtual machine
by Klaus-Peter Schrage
This weekend I have successfully installed kvm and qemu, and Win XP is
running in a virtual machine. A problem remains: Win XP installs with
German locale (the default, as I used a German installation cd), but a
strange keyboard layout results - some kind of qwertyu, it is not the US
one which I know.
In KDE (system settings - regional and language) I have set the "DE"
keyboard layout as well. Whenever I switch to "US" there, I immediatedly
get the correct layout in the Windows guest, and switching to "DE" again
in KDE brings back the strange layout in Win XP.
Any pointers to what may be configured wrong are welcome.

lilo on serial consoles
by Deboo ^
I'm trying to prepare to give some Linux tests and got a question that
I am confused with, even after digging in to the serial howto and
googling. Can somone give it a try?
2 to 4 seem important to me. 1 is the only option that seems not as
important but then the alias is needed for ttyS0, right? So what could
be the odd one out?
Which one of the following is NOT necessary if you want to be able to
use a serial connection to select a boot image from lilo, to view
kernel and init output, and log in as root?
1. /etc/modules.conf: alias /dev/ttyS0 serial
2. /etc/lilo.conf: serial=0,115200n8
3. /etc/lilo.conf: append="console=ttyS0,115200n8"
4. /etc/securetty: ttyS0
5. /etc/inittab: TO:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

Install DVD
by David Miller
I have started using Redhat about Redhat 4 and started using Fedora
after RedHat 9.
I am a little more than a casual user. I develop embedded software and
use linux for my development platform but I don't develop linux code.
I currently have a fiber internet connection and downloads are normally
quick.
I went to http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all and downloaded the
direct download for Fedora 10 and burned a DVD with K3B but the DVD
would not mount in my system.
I went back and downloaded the Bit Torrent and verified the sha1sum and
then burned another DVD with K3B and asked K3B to verify the write. All
went well until I tried to mount the DVD.
I get a popup with the following: Error
org.freedesktop.Hal.PermissionDenied. Details Permission denied: Not in
active session.
I haven't seen this described any where else. Can anyone give me a hand.
