Epiphany doesn't play webm ?
Hi! As the title says. I tried opening the direct link to the video and it kind of opened, though I have mainly the sound as the video doesn't seem to move. I looked for more details online, install all the rpmfusion video packages, it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Any further idea? Thank you.

Fractional scaling
Hi! Just installed F37 beta on 2 different thinkpads (6th and 8th gen) and typed: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']" Logged out. It's working fine on the 8th gen but not on the 6th gen. While both have the scaling available at every 25% increment under Gnome settings - Display settings, selecting anything else than 200% doesn't work on the 6th gen. The apply button becomes dimmed and it says "This could be due to hardware limitations". The same feature was working fine under F36. What should I look at now to resolve this? Thank you.

Re: Fedora/Gnome3 : Display Problem on my hardware.
Ok. so that sounds exactly like the same issue. It was worth on F20 for me than it is with F21. Thank you.

In my case, when I open the 'activities' menu, there are square and triangular lines spread all over and almost none of the icons render correctly. Another thing worth pointing out is that applications are not affected by it. Most of the applications I ran (Nautilus, GIMP, Gnome Terminal, Application Settings) rendered correctly. The problem mainly affects the panel on the top, the calendar view that opens up from there (like the one in your picture) and the 'activities' menu. I'm downloading the Fedora live image, once it is done, I'll boot up and share some screenshots. I guess that'll provide a better idea of it.

RAT mouse clicking problem
Hi! I've installed TC2 and everything seems to run fine so far. I am however running into an issue I had randomly under F18 (when the mouse was new) where the (left) clicking seems to lock the mouse into the application into which it clicks. The issue seems to be more systematic now but maybe it's just the same. I did an extensive web search a few month back and came up with an added /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/03-rat.conf file which read this: Section InputClass Identifier Mouse Remap MatchProduct Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.7 Mouse MatchDevicePath /dev/input/event* Option Buttons 17 Option ButtonMapping 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 8 9 7 6 12 13 13 13 16 17 18 19 20 21 Option AutoReleaseButtons 13 14 15 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7 EndSection On my first login the problem systematically appears, I then go to any application that has a setting window that will come over the main window, adjust the click to work properly (by clicking on the mode button) and then log out and back in. I often use the Settings/Displays app, disable a monitor, apply and then cancel the changes. Canceling the changes doesn't initially work until switching modes (by clicking on the mode/preset button 1/2 or 3 times). This fixes this issue. What would be the best way to get rid of this problem? Thanks. Fred -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
Re: system crash while yumming and ...
Hi and many thanks for the prompt reply. This didn't fix it, I'm still
getting the exact error out of yum.
installing expat-2.1.0-1 gave me:
/sbin/ldconfig: File /lib/libbrasero-utils3.so.1.2.3 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /lib/libvte2_90.so.9.3200.1 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /lib/libbrasero-media3.so.1.2.3 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /lib/libbrasero-burn3.so.1.2.3 is empty, not checked.
but maybe that's to be expected.
I now have a newly setup system on a different machine. Is there a file
I could take from and just copy over eventually?
Thank you.

Dependency issue when installing pidgin

I've altered my setup to be able to easily switch from F16 to Rawhide while still working on my 'real work' so I don't mind giving it a go (and it's fast). Recently I haven't been running f16 kernels on rawhide because of a recent dependency change in f16 to require a higher version of a package than is in rawhide. The rawhide package has the needed change so you could do a nodeps install. The debugging kernels since 3.1 seem to be worse than they were in the past. For some people this was significantly impacting their display performance, for myself, my I/O performance tanked. I use luks on top of raid and I think the I/O is becoming CPU bound instead of disk bound on my system. My current solution is to rebuild kernels with most of the debug options turned back off. I have a git branch with change to the debugging options and when there is a new update I update my copy of the master branch, megre master to my nodebug branch and then do a local build. This is what I do too, more or less - I just run 'make release' on the kernel spec checkout - this is what the kernel maintainers use to switch between 'debug' and 'release' builds - bump the rev by .1 and add a changelog entry, then do a scratch build. My last one is here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3612350 you're welcome to use it while it's still around. As Bruno says, debug kernels are much slower and also much more 'active' than release kernels; this could certainly explain the heat issue, as the laptop will rarely be able to put its CPU into sleep mode with all the debug activity going on. BTW, Frederic, your issue with getting an F17 nightly to boot is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766955 . It's well known, but no-one seems to be stepping up to fix it :( Thank you everyone for all the help. I'll look into it within a day or two hopefully.

This is obviously a bug. Xorg is down to below 2% CPU usage FWIW. I have only looked and reported issues once the next release started its alpha period. Is it worth investigating issues under rawhide outside of the pre-release time, or should I just wait for alpha and try again? Thank you.

CPU getting hot or maybe not
Hi! As written in my previous message my laptop gets shutdown within minutes (below 15 minutes) after using it under Rawhide. This is not something I experienced under F16, though I have 2 add a bit of context: - this is a T60 thinkpad (rather old piece of hardware) - I never had fan issues under the fan broke down (or the sensor) and I replaced it with a new one - This happened at the same time I switch distro from Debian / Ubuntu (I was going back and forth) to F14. - Since my early usage of Fedora I have noticed some thermal issue preventing me at times to restart my machine after long hours of usage or a yum update. This had never happened before but I don't want to blame Fedora for it at all (and rather identify the root cause of the problem). So now that I am with Rawhide since yesterday this thermal issue has hit me big time making my machine unusable. TOP sometimes gives very high CPU usage for xorg (up to 65%) but not every time. Most time xorg is at around 14% CPU time. I have disabled my external monitor thinking it might help to ease xorg's pain. Now I do touch my laptop to see if it feels hot and it is not really hot as it could have been when I experienced the issue in the past with F14/15/16. It could be though, that the heat didn't have enough time to propagate to the 'outer' parts. How would you guys go on and troubleshoot the issue? (and yes the fan is turning as I can heart it).

Installing Rawhide
Hi! First a happy new year to all and thank you for making Fedora what it is. It's definitely something I (silently) truly appreciate and use daily. I' ve been trying to install rawhide from the lastest nightly build (from 28) and it fails to boot. There is a error message about the kernel not understanding the parameter giving through the boot command line (I can give the exact message if it's worth it). I was wondering whether at this point it is something actually worth reporting and troubleshooting or whether I should just install rawhide through one of the other possible methods (like upgrading F16 to rawhide).

Trying to install the source rpm gives me that: yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r).src.rpm Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process No package kernel-headers-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.i686.PAE.src.rpm available What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Fred -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Re: [Test-Announce] Fedora 15 Final Release Candidate 2 (RC2) Available Now!
Dear all, I'm running in a small problem which has been consistent in all DVD images I've installed since Alpha (I thought I was the culprit). Here is what I do: 1. Download DVD iso image 2. Use livecd-iso-to-disk to copy to USB 3. Boot from USB to install on laptop 4. Select all default option except disk partitioning: - custom - I create 3 partitions: / /home ext4 and swap 5. Install prompts from GRUB install which is /dev/sdb1 (USB) by default 6. I change it to /dev/sda1 (which is the other options) 7. Validate and complete install "successfully" = Laptop doesn't boot (no error message) In fact grub is installed on /dev/sdb1 no matter what I select apparently and I then go to system restore to install grub on /dev/sda1 So is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks. Fred -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

After reinstalling GRUB using chroot and grub-install /dev/sda1 I get an error 15 which is supposed to be a grub-legacy error.. though the HDD is brand new (was just delivered today). What could be the problem (forgot what I did last time I faced the problem). Thanks.

Note that I also did the root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0) before. Apparently didn't work neither. Should I file a bug?

What could be the problem (forgot what I did last time I faced the problem). Please file a bug against anaconda, and be sure to attach the anaconda.log from your installation. Given the nature of your installation, I recommend you also attach program.log, storage.log and syslog. These files are available while the installer is running in /tmp/. After installation, they are available on the installed system in /var/log/anaconda/ Thank you for the feedback, bug is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704571 Fred -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
How do we add Input Method Selector after a fresh install?
Hi! IMS doesn't appear in System settings (under personal) and after playing with Region and Language I didn't get any success neither. So how does one enable another IME?

The command is usually ibus-setup. I only call it when I need it, and don't use Gnome, but at any rate, to start the ibus daemon, which is what is usually used for other languages, the ibus-setup should work. Thanks. However I was asking about the icon to add input method in system settings. Running ibus-setup indeed tells me that the ibus daemon is not started (and recommends to eventually add some configuration lines in my session configuration file). Added IM doesn't work neither. Logging out and back in doesn't fix the problem. Still the input method selector which I have on another (older as opposed to freshly installed) F15 machine doesn't appear. any clue?

Re: Well, I've tried GNOME 3 now...
On 04/25/2011 02:16 AM, John Morris wrote: Few existing fedora users are looking for what GNOME3 is selling. Some might end up accepting it, but that isn't the same thing. I love Gnome 3 and am very happy with it. So obviously you're only talking for yourself and not "most of fedora users". I think the main issue is really how you introduce it to people (and how you look at it yourself). There are a lot of existing new tech in gtk3 and in gnome-shell, backed up up by a team of people (the GNOME Project) who have been successful in the past. I get to do things a lot faster than before most of the time (so it was worth spending 20 minutes to learn new stuff) and am trying to give my feedback for what I have issues with. Distribution such as openSUSE or Debian are also very excited by the project and working hard to bring GNOME3 as one of their major desktops offering (if not the main one). At the end of the day maybe 3.0 is a too early version for you, you should keep using Fedora 14 until GNOME 3.2 comes out (F16). Or you can take part in the project and help to improve it.
