Text gets chapped off on top.
by Vinny Onelli
Hi,
Installed f15 gnome, and since then periodically while using a portion
of text gets chapped off on top. I waited while thanking that it may be
correct through update, but I ham not sure if this problem is know. I
found that I need to reboot in order to correct it.
Any one know how to correct it?.

Sound Juicer offers no profiles
by Matthew Saltzman
I'm new to music management in Fedora. I'm trying to rip a CD to MP3
format using Sound Juicer in F15. When I open SJ, it pops up a dialog
that says:
The currently selected audio profile is not available on your
installation.
and offers me a chance to Quit or Change Profile. If I try to change
profile, the CD is opened and the preferences window opens. The CD
Drive selector is blank, but choosing it lists the only CD drive in the
machine. After selecting that, the selector remains blank, which seems
odd.
But the real problem is, the Output Format selector lists no options at
all. I expected some options available by default, as described in the
help for SJ.
Any idea what I've done wrong?
TIA.

How to set a default network connection in FC15
by Abu Attar Musharih
Dear List,
I connect to the internet via wireless. There are two available
connections, the first one is set up by myself (insert IP etc), the
other is automatically found by the network manager.
The problem is, the network manager sometimes changes the connection
to the automatically found one and creates problem as it needs proxy.
I want to make the connection which I set as a default so the manager
can not change it automatically.
I clicked the network icon next to the battery and schrolled down to
newtwork setting but could not find the way.
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance.

Blinking cursor after reboot with Preupgrade
by Richard Shaw
Since I know I don't have enough ram to do a fresh install I'm trying
to upgrade my old EEEPC 701 from F13 to F15 via Preupgrade. I ran
preupgrade-cli from runlevel 3 to maximize the amount of ram available
at everything appears to run fine prior to the reboot.
When I try to run the upgrade from GRUB upon reboot nothing happens. I
just get a blinking cursor in the upper left and it sits with no disk
activity.
Choosing the previous Kernel from GRUB and it boots up fine to F13.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

Disk encryption using ecryptfs fails: "You do not own that encrypted directory"
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
A friend of mine told me ubuntu offers a ecryptfs based solution,
where only a directory is encrypted (therefor no need for seperate
partitions or ugly image files),and which is mounted automatically
using the user's password at logon time.
I discovered with Fedora-15 I can do the same using ecryptfs and the
appropriate pam module.
I used the tutorial at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EcryptfsAuthConfig, but
everytime I try to create a private encrypted folder, I get the error
attached at the end of the email.
Any ideas whats going wrong?
Thank you in advance, Clemens

spaceballs...
by DJ Delorie
Is there a standard for how multi-axis trackballs (spaceballs)
interact with X? Are they common enough to "just work" now or is it
the usual proprietary-hardware-nightmare still?
The common trackball seems to have the ball, some scrollwheel
replacement and a bunch of buttons. It would be nice to be able to
*rotate* the ball, or push it in various directions, etc. But only if
there's a sane mapping to X events.

problem mounting a cifs share at boot in f15
by Gianluca Cecchi
In /etc/fstab in both f14 and f15 I have this entry:
\\XXX\YYY\ZZZ /share cifs
credentials=/etc/filename,uid=500,workgroup=mydomain.dom 0 0
But in F14 it correctly mounts on boot, while in F15 it fails.
I get this in /var/log/messages:
Jul 6 10:38:42 mypc systemd[1]: share.mount mount process exited,
code=exited status=1
Jul 6 10:38:42 mypc systemd[1]: Job remote-fs.target/start failed
with result 'dependency'.
Jul 6 10:38:42 mypc systemd[1]: Unit share.mount entered failed state.
If, after boot, I run
mount /share
it mounts correctly...
What do I have to change?
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

Name resolution
by Tanguy Eric
Since few days now i have a name resolution problem. For example when i
entrer a new address in firefox it returns that the name can't be
resolved. Reloading the page and firefox display fine the page. I have
the same problem from thunderbird or cli using yum.
The network is up using network manager with ethernet and dhcp. The name
server is the box ip. This configuration is the same as other pc on the
same network and these pc don't have any problem so i think the problem
is specific to this f15 machine but i don't how to investigate.
Any help ?
Thanks

High CPU usage when copying files to USB mass storage device
by 某因幡
Hi,
I've tried to copy some different files to an USB flash disk and an USB HDD
and tried different USB hubs.
After a while the system gets very slow, switching between windows can take
quite a while. The copying speed is slow, too(only several MB/s to an empty
USB HDD).
The machine is not old, just bought it this year. And on the same machine
the same problem is not seen on Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7.
Any ideas?
