Facebook on Fedora -- a couple of questions/suggestions.
by Bill Case
Hi;
There has been a lot of action on the Facebook pages I belong to over
the last couple of days about trojans and/or viruses. They all seem to
be link related. I am pretty sure they cannot affect anything on
Fedora, but I was wondering. They all seem M$ related.
Facebook seems to be unaware of the concept of workspaces. If I am
using a workspace that doesn't have my browser I get no notification of
a posting or message or friendship request. The chat requests makes a
sound. Any suggestions on how I might set up a notification monitor
that shows in my system tray, or beeps or something like my email
monitor. Looked in FB apps -- nothing.

Blurred Font Fedora 14
by Michael Liendl
Dear Community,
Today I switched from Ubuntu 10.10 to Fedora 14 and overall I am very
happy with it. But there is one annoying issue: The font. Unlike on
Ubuntu - where the fonts always were sharp/clear with smoothed edges
(just perfectly readable) - fonts on Fedora look very blurred. Is
there any possibility to solve this issue? I have already tried a lot
of preferences regarding the font antialiasing.
Sincerely,

F13: Acroread (Adobe reader) on FF crashes with a defunct process.
by Dan Thurman
Opening a PDF file within Firefox for the
first time does start acroread and one can
view a PDF document, however, it causes
a defunct process preventing other PDF
files from being viewed. As far as I can
tell, I have to reboot to clear the defunct
process before being able to use FF for
PDF viewing. Outside of FF, PDF files can
be viewed and no defunct processes are
created, which leads me to believe that
the problem is with FF.
> ps -aux | grep acroread
<me> 4277 2.3 0.0 0 0 ? Z 10:25 0:25

Fedora 2.6.34.8-68.fc13.i686

Linux on ARM tablets?
by Fernando Cassia
I'm not familiar with modern tablets. I only own a 4 years old Nokia
N800, -which is more like a larger Linux PDA used sideways- before the
"tablets" market and craze even existed.
So, I'm not sure about what media the OS stored in on modern Android
tablets. Do those feature flash memory chips soldered on the main
board? SD slots? compactflash with IDE controller?.
Having said that, I wonder if anyone tried installing linux on tablets
that otherwise run Android or other OSs?
I'm giving serious thought to buying a RIM Playbook, but I'm not sure
I'll be comfortable with QNX
The CPU is confirmed to be a dual-core TI ARM.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Blackberry-PlayBook-CPU-Confirmed-1GHz-Dua...
So what are the chances of RIM making it easy to replace the OS with Fedora/ARM?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM
I really, really would like to see RedHat putting some effort into
seeing Fedora running on modern tablets... if only for OS mindshare
and promotional purposes...

Re: wifi troubleshooting
by Adam Tong
Hi,
That's a very good idea.
Is there any kind of dongles that are more suitable for fedora or I can pick any wifi enabled one?
Thank you

Hi Adam.
Since you have a usb port, do you have a separate usb/wireless dongle that you can insert in the usb port to see if it gets recognized by the OS.
you can get cheap dlink wireless dongles to test (and then take back to the store!!).
I've always got a cheap dlink to use as a test for usb ports.
i think it's time to start at the basics, to isolate your issues here.

I appreciate your help. You know, this is an old laptop that came with windows. This is the kind of deal windows make with some manufacturers so that the os comes with the drivers of the manufacturer that was made for windows. When I formated my pc and I reinstalled windows (lost the original one) it did not detect it either. I had to download the driver even for windows. But in the manufacturers site I did not find anything for linux (http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us).
Here is the info of my wifi card:
WL-159g 802.11bg (USB2.0 WLAN)
Manufacturer : ASUSTek Computer, Inc.
ASUS A9 Series (A9T) (notebook)
But i'm quite
sure that a lot of other manufacturers do not provide drivers for linux. How linux do for recognizing those devices anyway?
Thank you again

By first slot I guess you sata port? It's been a while since I've noticed
Windows caring about device order. I have seen windows try to change its
drive letter when it finds itself on a new drive port, but that was only
under certain conditions.
When you move your windows drive to port 1, you don't see grub because grub
is installed on the other drive. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about
dual booting with grub, so maybe someone else here can tell you how...
I think if you were to place your windows drive in port 1, and then were to
set up grub to run from the windows drive, it would solve the problem?
