is there a way to play swf files (version > 9) in Fedora?
by "Germán A. Racca" 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hi list! Not that I'm a fan of gaming, but I discovered the web site y8.com by chance and I liked the games, and they even offer a download option. The games are in swf format, and even having gnash installed, not all of the games I downloaded are working. Reading the info for gnash I can see that "Gnash is capable of reading up to SWF v9...". Taking a look at the files I downloaded: $ file *.swf AmericanRacing.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 14 coasterracer2.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 10 Formula Racer 2012_May_4th_2012.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 10 virtual_drums.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 6 In fact, the only one that plays nicely is virtual_drums.swf. Question is: how can I play the other files whose versions are > 9 in Fedora? All that I found in Google refers to Adobe Player, but the download links are for the flash plugin for the web browser. Any help is appreciated. Germán. -- Germán A. Racca Fedora Package Maintainer https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Skytux

Runlevel 3 after fedup
by ellis＠spinics.net 01 May '13

01 May '13

After upgrade from 17 to 18 with fedup and installing all the updates I was unable to login as any user other than root. When I tried I was greeted with the message: "System is booting up". After beating my head against the wall I finally tried booting to runlevel 5 instead of 3. That fixed the issue. But booting to runlevel 3 and switching to 5 doesn't work. Possibly a problem with systemd? -- http://yosemitenews.info/

Monitor turns off on normal boot
by Anthony Papillion 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hello Everyone, I'm having trouble getting Fedora (or Ubuntu or Windows) to do a normal boot. When I try to boot Windows or Ubuntu in normal mode, it gets to a certain point then the monitor turns off and nothing more happens. I finally got Fedora 14 to work by selecting basic video. But when I upgraded to 17, same thing happened: got to a point then the monitor turned off. Can anyone help me? I'd thought it might be a video driver issue but on three separate is installations? I'm at my wits end! Thanks, Anthony -- Sent from my mobile device

Problem with external VGA
by Miner, Jonathan W (US SSA) 01 May '13

01 May '13

I've got a Dell Precision M4600 laptop, running Fedora 17. Sometime after kernel 3.7.9-104, the external VGA output no longer works. If I boot with 3.7.9-104,with my projector attached, it is recognized. If I boot with 3.8.4-102, external VGA devices are not recognized. lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF108 [Quadro 1000M] (rev a1) (I've tried running the driver from nVidia, but that has screen rendering problems, with blocks of random data instead of my normal background pic) - Jon
