Re: Latest updates broke KDE sound
I just updated two systems. They use different hardware, but I run primarily KDE in both. One system updated and sound worked fine. The second system lost sound in KDE. I can delete ~/.pulse and .pulse-cookie, log out, log in and have sound for that session. I can play music, get system sounds, etc. Once I log out, and back in, no sound. I can tap on the microphone and hear that in the speakers. I can run aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav and hear that. If I log out of KDE and into GNOME, I can run any application with sound and they work fine. All sound worked fine prior to today's updates, which included the latest pulse updates. Hi; this happened to me. I only run KDE, so did not test gnome. F - apps - multimedia - pulse volume control click the config tab. In my case PA found my Radeon Video card and chose HDMI I changed it back and all was ok. I have a Radeon HD 3450 PCI Express, with NO HDMI.

updating F12 broke KDE display
Hi; I just loaded F12 onto my old IBM R51 laptop. It went fine, everything but USB worked. I created two users guest users Gnome, mick uses KDE. I prefer KDE so logged onto that. My wireless network connected just fine, the display was fine. I did a yum install yumex. Followed by yumex. After a big update the KDE screen is broken. The taskbar is whited out with thin black horizontal lines. Any program (dolphin) top line max/min/quit shows the same as the taskbar. Quit does work. I logged out and back in as guest: under gnome. The screen was fine, but no wireless network. I did not test gnome wireless before the update. I cannot test wireless in kde now as The menu's are unreadable. I userdel mick and removed /home/mick, then useradd mick, same. This laptop uses an intel centrino motherboard. Mick M.

F12 KDE questions
Hello list; I am running KDE under F12. When I download a filel I get a popup in the upper right hand corner that tells me it has finished downloading. This is in the way. I prefer the F11 stack above the I/O box in the lower right hand corner- how do I revert to this? Sometimes all the icons on my desktop get a big bright background box. If I rollover the icon, or click on the desktop the box disappears. This sometimes happens to the taskbar too. I updated downloadhelper - but it fails, the directory is correct.

Re: Installing Fc11 on a 250gb Sata drive.
So the fact that my system disk is running on the 2nd SATA port is wrong? Does the system know this? It boots fine for me as its the only bootable disk on either controller. In your BIOS (advanced) you can choose your boot/device order. Write down the way it is. Then choose what drive you like. Usually the name will tell you the size (it will have 250 or 500 in it).

Hi; yahoo search: http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Linksys%20Wireless-G%20USB%20Adapter%20WUSB54G:1991337091 It's very difficult to tell from the specs that this adapter is limited to two operating systems Win 2K and XP. Since the other Linksys network components had no such restriction, this came as a big surprise. If you buy in a store, you'll see a small sticker on the box that alerts you, but internet advertisements pretty much gloss over this crucial fact So it looks like a bad one.

Re: clone a bootable fedora USB drive?
Anyhoo, now that I've spent most of a day getting the USB stick updated and configured, I want to clone it to another USB stick. Hi; what I use is dd, as root. Plug it in and if it gets mounted, unmount it. I always df -l, and fdisk -l To get the system info first. Then plug it in, wait for 30 seconds and df -l fdisk -l again. That way you can see if it automounted. fdisk -l will show you the name and any partitions. Make SURE that you know which one is the USB. If unsure just unplug it and start again. I presume that it is /dev/sdb here. umount /dev/sdb1 If it did mount it. Then dd if=/dev/sdb of=F9-usb.img This will make an image the whole thing, in your current directory. To restore dd if=F9-usb.img of=/dev/sdb You can save this image onto a CD as it is just a data file. One thing to watch out for is that your keys be the same size. The second (clone) can be bigger but not smaller than the original. You will lose the extra space.

I formatted /dev/sdb3 as ext4, the others ext3. sdb5 and sdb6 are empty ext3, I may delete them and just go sdb5 ext4. The sata problem with xp refers to the install, it needs drivers. However under VirtualBox it works just fine. [r...@localhost ~]# rpm -qa Virt* VirtualBox-3.0.0_49315_fedora11-1.x86_64 I got lucky in that VirtualBox had just gone to 3.0. I used an expanding drive up to 10G (all defaults). I had to rescue the system after I removed the IDE drive. Then edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to get F10 working. So far ext4 is transparent, no programs flake or die because of it. The only problem was very slow firefox dns, solved in about:config. (thanks to Tim Largy on this list) I followed the MJM guide for F11 for multimedia and am very happy. Plus I have another IDE drive to stick in my old Snap server 4100. I dont like the LVM stuff, rescue cd's fail with it. As far as swap goes - this is a 1000G drive! 2xram (I hope to get 4G total) seems standard.

Firefox addons for later
Hi; I am putting a bunch of files on a USB stick. I have the latest firefox rpm and want to include some addons. The ones I use are addblock-plus, videodownloadhelper, noscript, downthemall and WOT. I know I can just install ff and then manually install them via the web. But how do I include them on the stick? I would like to be able to install ff then locally install the addons, before going on the net. thanks Mick M. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
yumex starts without password
Hi; I run F10 and KDE. The system is fully updated. I start programs from desktop icons. When I log in I double-click the firefox icon and then the yumex icon. While firefox is thinking about starting - yumex connects and starts, No password was asked for. If I just double-click yumex it asks me for the root password, which it should. I am not complaining but this seems wrong, what else could start as root while firefox is starting up?

Re: Corsair 16G USB Flash Drive
But the drive mounts and reads correctly under windows. Any ideas? Regards, Les H Hi; I have a SanDisk 4G. I used it exclusively inder F9, worked fine. Then I copied some data files to an XP box, and it could not read them. After trying it a few times I noticed that some kind of app popped up on the XP box when I inserted the stick. Now this is weird because I had formatted it ext2 and also had used it as a live-F9 disk, then formatted it NTFS to talk to XP. When I clicked on the app it turned out to be some kind of encryption thing. I disabled/removed it from the stick and then F9-Xp xfers were fine (after I re-copied them over). Maybe that is whay you have, stick it in an XP box and see what happens.

Re: Network Manager and Ralink
I forgot to mention that both the laptop and main box run F9. Fully updated, KDE 4.0. The laptop is an AMD Athlon 32 bit, and the main box is Athlon 64x2.

The install went fine. When it spit the DVD out and ebooted the video was awful. Standard advice: Do a yum update (or update via whatever other scheme you prefer) straight after a new install. Have you done that yet? Hi; yes the first thing I did was yum -y upgrade, that did not fix it. I checked and it was running the vesa driver. I hooked up my old system (so I could read the screen). Then ran system-config-display. I could then see the menu box for hardware - configure.- radeon. Back to the broken box. I changed that to radeon and now it's working. I read on the net about radeonhd but there is not a choice for it. thank you , and Bruno -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Re: updating USB flash drive MBR to allow boot
In theory the livecd_to_usb program was supposed to make it bootable as part of the process. At least that is my understanding. JP Hi; as root do fdisk -l Insert stick. repeat fdisk -l The new entry is your stick - say sdc1. Now fdisk /dev/sdc - note drop the 1. p to show the partition table. If it is bootable there should be a * as the first char. a 1 for the first partition. p star should be there now. w to write it out. done. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
livecd on USB kernel upgrade?
Hello list; I created and updated a live F9 USB drive on a 2G stick. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 1131 /home/mick/MyDownloads/Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso /dev/sdc1 Then did a yum upgrade in small stages on it. What I would like to know is how to get the new kernel loaded. I made the initrd fine. There is no grub.conf in /boot/grub. If you hit tab at the boot screen the kernel line looks something like this: vmlinuz0 initrd0.img root=UUID=XYXYXrw quiet liveimg overlay=UUID=XYXYXY rhgb check Any ideas?

livecd update
Hi; I have created a live usb F9 cd. It boots fine. I used the --overlay-size-mb 1131 option to use all of the 2G stick. When I yum upgrade it downloads and installs the rpms just fine. On cleanup it dies an updating the rpmdb, something about read only filesystem. It;s strange because it lets me yum install firefox without any complaints. Because I am using the KDE live image and I run KDE on FC9 I know it needs to be updated. How do I do this? Or how do I create my own updated image to copy to the stick? thanks Mick M. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
