by Valent Turkovic 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

I there a way to test new GIMP 2.7/2.8 in Fedora? I looked in Rawhide repos and I still see only 2.6x versions there. Any plans to put 2.7 in Rawhide repost for testing purposes? -- pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

Enabling Airport wireless on Macbook Air with F12
by Colin Paul Adams 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Thanks to Chris Smart, Peter Danenberg and others, I have been able to install Fedora 12 as the sole O/S on my Macbook Air (first generation). However the wirless networking is not enabled. I am following the instructions in http://docs.fedoraproject.org/wireless-guide/f12/en-US/html-single/#chap-Wi… . There was no wireless device shown in the network Configuration, so I clicked New and added a device for hardware Apple Airport. I also tried adding wireless device on the Hardware tab (eth0), but although it allows me to do this, after I save and then reopen the Network Configuration, the hardware only shows a device pan0 of Type Ethernet (which was there from the start). It does appear on the Devices tab (it didn't originally until I added it), but has staus of inactive, and no means to activate it. However, even after restarting the computer, the wireless icon on the panel says there are no network devices available. So I tried removing the device from control by NetworkManager, and activated it manually. But then I get: Device eth0 does seem to be present, delaying initalization. What do I need to do? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire

Problem with an external usb HD - slow usb
by Luigi Castro Cardeles 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hi list, I use fedora 12 on a dell inspiron 1545 laptop. (2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64). i have a external usb hd and i can't make it connect like a usb 2.0 device. this device is ntfs format I check if the device is using ehci (dmesg after i plug the device) [root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep USB usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 I check if this device is connected on a usb 2.0 [root@localhost ~]# lsusb Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 015: ID 0471:2021 Philips Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub I mount the device with this options: /dev/sdc1 on /media/hd_backup type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) but when i use cp, mv or rsync, the max speed i get is max 6MB/s (a lot 800kB/s). If i use this device on Windows (tested with Vista and Seven), i get much high transfer rate. I read about sync and async options, but if i put sync or async on fstab, it does not alter the transfer rate. Is this the normal upload transfer rate? I am doing something wrong?

eSATA removable drive
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

I have an eSATA external hard drive case. I want to hotplug / unplug it. My system is Fedora 11. I added an external eSATA port on my desktop computer by adding a bracket (with an internal cable connected to one of the ordinary SATA sockets on the motherboard.) The SATA controller is an intel ICH9R. To make hotplug work, I needed to go the computer's BIOS and change the SATA mode to AHCI (it was IDE). I can now hotplug the drive. I cannot unplug the drive. If I tell the system to eject the drive, it complains: # eject /dev/sdi eject: device "/dev/sdi" doesn't have a removable or hotpluggable flag # cat /sys/block/sdi/removable 0 (I don't know where or what a hotpluggable flag is.) I guess that makes sense: the system doesn't know that I added an eSATA bracket. What are the reasonable ways to tell the system that that SATA port is an eSATA port and should allow for hotplugging/unplugging? My guess is some kind of HAL rule but I'm not an initiate. Maybe something in here would work: <http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_UltraBay_devices> Surely lots of people have already encountered this issue. If so, there ought to be a non-wizard way to handle it.

Kernel boot problems or is my hard drive failing ?
by linux guy 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

If I power down my laptop via the usual KStart->Shutdown means, it can take up to 4 restart attempts before it fully boots. It has no problem launching grub and the kernel selection screen. That it does reliably every time. After that, there are issues. Twice I will get a back screen with a flashing cursor. Then I will get an ehci -19 error. Then it will boot properly. My fscks are fine. I had a block error once, about two weeks ago, but that was with an older F12 kernel after completely crashing during a resume from suspend to RAM. Is anyone else experiencing a problem booting ? Does this sound like a kernel problem or is my hard drive failing ? Thanks $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Dec 21 06:04:56 UTC 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

by Antonio M 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

I have two boxes, both have UltraVNC and Vinagre (Remote desktop viewer), exactly the same packages both in F11 fully updated When I connect from A to B both Vinagre and UltraVNC work, but when I connect from Ato B UltraVNC works fine but in Vinagre I see the list of remote desktops, but when I try to connect I get the message Connection closed: The connection to host B has been closed. Any idea?? Tnx -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag SIP: antoniomontag(a)ekiga.net

Fedora 11 GDM - unwanted list of all local users and impossible to customize?
by jaivuk 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello guys, I did not use gdm for some time and now I'm not happy how it looks in Fedora 11. First of all - the list of local users is unacceptable from security reasons. Even if it supports such "an " option - how it can be the default one?! Second problem I have is shutdown button (and possibly restart as well) - when you click on shutdown button by mistake, system will shut - there is no confirmation dialog. I also tried to find some ways how to customize gdm in Fedora 11 but I did not find any usable guide. Can anybody please advise me how can I have prompt asking for username only (showing last logged user at maximum) and not displaying the list of all local users? Also can I somehow add confirmation or remove shutdown restart buttons from gdm screen? Or can you please advise any alternative to gdm? Thank you very much, Jan
