Problems with 3COM 3C900Combo
by Christian Moller 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all Fedora users, I have just joined this list. I am running the latest Fedora but I can't get my 3C900Combo networking card to work. I can see that the card is installed but no IP-address is asigned to it and I can't set it. So I think that there is a bug in that driver. Any other user out there who have a solution for this? Best regards and thanks, Christian

RAGE XL Framebuffer
by Yanick Quirion 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all I know that is not a specific question about Fedora, but I can't find answer on the kernel mailing list. Is somebody having server with integrated ATI RAGE XL video card? Is it possible to patch the kernel to support this video card? If I add VGA=791 in my grub.conf, I will have a resolution of 1024x768 which is good, but the display is very slow (especially when the screen is scrolling). If I use I this: "video=aty128fb:1024x768@70" it will not work. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 but I will try 2.6.0-test11 today. If somebody has a patch, a link or anything else that can help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

WiFi permanently disappeared after booting test kernel
by Mike Fleetwood 26 Aug '14

Hi, On my netbook I booted a test kernel 3.8.0-rc4+ I compiled. Now after booting back into my regular Fedora kernel 3.6.11-5.fc17.i686.PAE my wifi network device remains permanently disappeared. No wifi networks displayed in Network Manager gui. Also the Network Manager syslog messages make it look like the device has completely disappeared. Suggestions for restoring wifi welcome.

F19 install and custom / RAID partitioning
by Gary Stainburn 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hi folks. I'm building a F19 box to replace my dead Bacula server and I'm trying to emulate as close as possible the F17 install I did then. However, this install UI is different and I've got a small probem. I've got 2 x 3TG drives sda and sdb. I've selected both drives (sda defaulted to boot device) Selected Standard Partitioning I'm in manual partitioning have done 1) + Mount point = /biosboot capacity = 1MB got this bit by googling a previous error partition put on sda1 2) + Mount point = /boot capacity = 50GB Device type = RAID /biosboot is moved to sda2 3) + Mount point = SWAP capacity = 6GB Device type = RAID /biosboot is moved to sda3 4) + Mount point = / capacity = 100GB Device type = RAID /biosboot is moved to sda4 5) + Mount point = /var/bacula capacity = blank (default to remaining space) Device type = RAID At this point I press "Update settings" to store the details for the last partition. As soon as I press the button it goes wrong and either removes some of the partitions or all of them and I get the message Storage configuration reset due to unrecoverable error. Click for details On clicking I then get the message Can't have overlapping partitions. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to sort this.

DNF Doesn't Appear to Have --skip-broken
by Stephen Morris 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Hi, I have an issue whereby I can't do a sudo dnf upgrade to upgrade the versions of Mysql from Oracle's Mysql repository because one of the other repositories has a package upgrade that won't be applied because it has a dependency on a gdm version that as yet doesn't exist, and, dnf appears to not have support for yum's --skip-broken parameter. Does dnf have support for this functionality so that sudo dnf upgrade will upgrade the packages I want to and ignore the packages with dependency issues? regards, Steve

4K monitors?
by Tom Horsley 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

I see prices are getting better on 4K monitors (samsung has one on sale for $599 at the moment), but I still find it impossible to figure out if any given video card will actually work with one :-(. Is anyone using a 4K monitor on fedora with open source video drivers and actually getting a 60HZ 3840x2160 image of a single desktop? If so, care to share which video card and monitor you use?
