f18-64: Video Resolution problem on a netbook ASUS 1225C-GRY015U
by Dario Lesca
Hi, I have buy this Asus netbook with Ubuntu pre-installed:
ASUS 1225C-GRY015U
http://www.monclick.it/schede/asus/1225C-GRY015U/1225c-gry015u.htm
With a Video integrate VGA compatible controller Intel Corporation Atom
Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) and driver
gma500
(see below lspci and lshw)
At the first power on, I do not have start Ubuntu, then do not know if
the problem (see below) there is with Ubuntu, but I have install
straightaway Fedora 18 64 bit.
After install and update f18 (kernel 3.8.2-206.fc18.x86_64), I have try
to work into Gnome 3.6, but the video performance are very slow and
gnome-shell use too many CPU :

Furthermore, the video resolution is fixed to 1366x768 (16:9) and when I
attach a video projector (this is very important for me) with a 1024x768
resolution It's not possible to clone the monitors and see what what I'm
projecting. Switch via Fn+monitor I can only see netbook monitor or
projector...
Question: there is some way to resolve the high CPU usage of gnome-shell
and change the video resolution when projector is connect?
Many thanks.

Evolution not working with automatic login?
by Markus Lindholm
Hi
I have a box with F18 on which I use automatic login and I just
noticed that Evolution doesn't work any more. It just hangs. If I
logout and back in again, then Evolution comes back to life. And same
thing if I switch of automatic login. I have a recollection that
previously Evolution asked for keyring password when it was started.
Now it doesn't do that any more.
Am I the only one with this problem?

Evolution: Google Calendars Won't Sync
by Fedora User
Fedora=18, Evolution=3.6.3
I filed a bug report about a week ago with no reply. Presumably they are
working on the the 3.8 release later in the month.
Strangely, I had a crash unrelated to Evo and had to force a power off.
When I restarted and logged back on, EVO asked for the US Holidays
password. That calendar is now working but not the personal calendar.
Is there some trick to get these things to sync?
TIA

Status of Fedup'ng F17->F18; when in doubt, yum upgrade ...
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
Because using an updates-testing version of fedup left my F17->F18 upgrade
on a dual-core desktop in a mixed state (lots of F18 rpms interlaced w/
F17 ones).
For a while the machine would boot in an F17 kernel; while went through a
process of 'yum remove'-ing of F18 duplications.
At some point, the kernel went into a panic, and the machine became
unusable.
Initially, I tried to do a fresh install of F18; but since there are two
disks on the machine, /dev/sdb mounted on /home, the installer kepting
hosing when specifying the disk setup.
So, I decided to a fresh 'Minimal Install' of F17, and proceed to F18 from
there.
First, I tried fedup (the version that is currently available from
updates, not updates-testing); kernel went into panic mode again.
Re-installed the F17-minimal again, and then did a yum upgrade. Buried in
the wiki
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_17_-.3E_F...
there is a reference to a fedora-upgrade script packaged as an rpm. It
pulled everything into F18.
So now with a minimal F18 install, I'm adding packages to bring it back as
close as possible to its status-quo working state.
Ironically, thanks to Reindl for the link to the Yum Upgrade Wiki page.
At this point, I think that it's fair to say that F18 has been the most
challenging of all for me since F2: this fedup experience, coupled with
mis-matched release of Postgresql 9.2 and PostGIS 1.5.

Desperate: toggle message tray keybinding without gnome-shell
by Noah Cutler
Going a bit nutty here, using i3 WM on top of Gnome, and am only able to
trigger message tray (i.e. notification menu) display via mouse click.
On Gnome IRC I was told that there are no keybinding hooks in the
notification-daemon code, therefore toggle show/hide message is not
possible without a mouse click.
And yet, I can mouse click the message tray icon itself to show/hide, so
there "must" be a way to simulate this mouse click event.
Sadly, "xprops" does not help in identifying the window class of any panel
icon clicked menu item, presumably since these menus are not X windows, but
javascript generated god knows what.
Thanks for any clues as to how to pull this off; otherwise, it's Dunst or
other vanilla events menu, which would be ridiculous, pull entire gnome
stack via default Fedora install and not be able to use notifications that
work perfectly fine on mouse click ;-(

Thunderbird does not respect the default browser setting.
by Erik P. Olsen
I believe this has been brought up before but I havn't seen a solution to it.
Google-chrome is set to be default browser, in Preferred Applications Web
Browser is set to launch G-C for hyper links etc. Nevertheless when a link in TB
is selected Firefox is launched and what is equally bad is that Firefox is then
set to be default.
What can be done to change this behaviour short of reporting a bug in bugzilla?

Curious "sleep" experience
by Timothy Murphy
When I first installed Fedora-18/KDE
sleep didn't work at all - on waking my laptop
(Thinkpad T61 with AMD/ATI M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300])
it just flashed every second or so, and I had to re-boot.
Now it works fine, but with one curious feature.
When I press the power button the laptop seems to be waking,
but then goes back to sleep.
When I press the power button a second time it wakes properly.
This doesn't worry me, as it only takes a couple of seconds in
all.
But I'm slightly puzzled by it,
and wondered if mine is a general experience?
