Xserver problem
by antonio montagnani
after updating to latest release of Xserver to:
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.2-1.
fc15.i686
I got a non-working system with a blank screen at login.
System
could start with nomodeset option on boot line.
Using an Intel card...(it is a
recursive bug in F13, F14 and now F15, that is very annoying because it is
recursive, something must be done to avoid these noise.)
If I revert to
previous release everything is o.k.

Im trying to build openwrt for x86 on x86-64 F-14 box,
I get this error.

Checking 'working-gcc-m32'... failed.
grub: Please install 32 bits development files. (gcc-multilib on
Debian/Ubuntu, gcc.i686 and libgcc.i686 on CentOS/Fedora/RHEL)
I went to system->admin->add/remove-sw,
searched for gcc, couldnt find an rpm.
So I clicked menubar->System->Software-Sources,
then tried to enable F-14 (F-14 -x86_64 already set)
after authenticating, I get:
Insert media labeled 'Fedora 14 Volume #1' or disable media repos.
I dont have the DVD
What/which are the media repos ?
is a checkbox I need to disable in software sources, or something else ?
help->content, gnome-packagekit search "media repos" showed nothing.

Gnome shell and NVidia binary drivers
by Pasha R
I'm running F15 on Dell Latitude D620 Laptop with NVidia NVS 110M
video card. So far I used it with nouveau drivers and while it ran
fairly well, I experienced sometimes glitches - screen becoming white
or otherwise unreadable. So, I tried to install NVidia drivers from
RPMFusion. After log in, gnome shell draws its top bar, but after that
it simply stops drawing anything on screen. If I launch terminal, I
can see that mouse pointer changes when it goes in and out of terminal
window, but window itself can not be seen.
After sometime it displays "sad terminal" icon with a message "Oh no!
Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't
recover. Please log out and try again".
Are NVidia drivers supported by Gnome 3?
Should I file bug for this? And if yes - to RedHat bugzilla or to Gnome?

can someone opine on whether this should continue to be used or not?
I assume ipv6 is different ..

Where is the initramfs?
by WangWentao
Hello guys,
After preupgrading from fc14 to fc15, the kernel-fc15 was not installed.
So I fail to boot my upgraded fedora. When I extract
kernel-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.rpm manually, I found that there is no
initramfs-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.img in the RPM archieve.
I tried to create an initramfs file by dracut using livecd:
* mount /media/FEDORA /dev/sda6 # the disk where I installed fedora
ln -s /media/FEDORA/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686/
/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686
dracut initramfs.img 2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686
* When I used the manully created initramfs.img to boot my system, it
complained "modprobe FATAL could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686/modules.dep". Actually, modules.dep file
doesn't exist in kernel RPM archieve.
So how can I install kernel manually? How to create a initramfs properly?
Thanks, any advices will be appreciated!

libreoffice and NFS
by Ed Greshko
F15/64 bit.
Has anyone else tried opening a document in libreoffice when the
document in on an NFS file system?
It reports that the document is locked by "user unknown" and will offer
to open the document read-only. It will also fail to save the document
on the NFS file system.
However, if I run /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin directly,
it is OK....
Nothing found in bugzilla
Thanks,

tmpfiles.d and spaces in filenames
by Corinna Vinschen
Hi,
How can I specify filenames with spaces in tmpfiles.d configuration
files? There's no hint in `man tmfiles.d'. I tried
- fstab style: d /foo\040bar 0755 root root
- web style: d /foo%20bar 0755 root root
- quoted style 1: d "/foo bar" 0755 root root
- quoted style 2: d '/foo bar' 0755 root root
This results in two directories
/foo\040bar
/foo%20bar
and two error messages:
Path '"/foo' not absolute.
Path ''/foo' not absolute.
So, do I have to take it that tmpfiles.d doesn't grok spaces in
filenames at all?
Please note, I'm not asking for the obvious answer "don't do this" and
I'm also not asking for the counter question "why do you need this?"
