VT consoles annoyance
hi, another 'minor' annoyance in my fedora 19 laptop is the fact that VT consoles are, in fact, unusable. I constantly get info messages of NetworkManager. I have tried tweaking sysctl.conf like this: kernel.printk = 2 2 2 2 because of info I found here http://superuser.com/questions/351387/how-to-stop-kernel-messages-from-flooding-my-console But it does not resolve it. In /etc/rsyslog.conf I have no kern.* line enabled Any ideas? -- Groeten, natxo -- Groeten, natxo -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

awesome! thanks for the tip. This is the correct cli line:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'us+intl')]"
and the proof is in the pudding:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources
[('xkb', 'us+intl')]
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc104
layout: us
variant:intl
options:kpdl:kposs
Now I jus need to see how to set this system wide, but I know now
where to look for info.

keyboard layout problem fedora19 gnome3 shell
hi, I installed fedora 19 desktop edition and am having some trouble with the keyboard layout (in the standard gnome3 shell). What I need is this layout: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc104 layout: us variant:intl options:kpdl:kposs but what I get is: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc104 layout: us options:kpdl:kposs I have tried adding an autostart file in $HOMEDIR/.config/autostart like this: $ cat set_us_intl_keyboard.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=set us intl keyboard layout Comment=set us intl keyboard layout Exec=setxkbmap us -variant intl but every time I need to run the command manually because the settings are not applied. using the graphical tool 'Regional Settings' I choose as 'Input source' : English (US, alternative international), but still no go. What is the way to fix this? Why is it not appying the settings with the autostart command? This is quite annoying, I should not be having to bang my head against the wall for a simple keyboard layout ;-) TIA, -- Regards, Natxo -- Groeten, natxo -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

dual head intel graphics card problems (laptop + docking station)
hi again, since I upgraded to f13 getting to start my laptop at work in a docking station is really painful. Setup: dell latitude e6500 with fedora amd64. At work, docking station with 2 20´' monitors. With Fedora 12, this worked flawlessly. Plug laptop in dockinstation, turn on with lid down, set it up once, work since then with the 2 external monitors when I am at the office, just the laptop monitor when not there. Now it takes me between 10 minutes to half an hour to get my dual head working every morning. It's getting on my nerves, to be honest ;) What happens is either: 1) I plug laptop on docking station, turn it on and when the gdm screen should appear I just see 1/4 of left screen, the rest is not available (black). I can go to a VT, go to runlevel 3, back to 5 and see if it works. Rinse and repeat until it does; 2) turn it on outside the docking station, login, plug it in the dockin station, pray that it detects the monitors. If it does not, then it effectively hangs, I cannot change to a VT, I have to power cycle it. Rinse and repeat until it works. My question is: until fedora 13, the standard behaviour was not to mirror the monitors. How can I have this behaviour now? What extra info can I supply you with? lspci -v: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Device 024f Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 31 Memory at f6c0 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at e000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at ef98 [size=8] Expansion ROM at [disabled] Capabilities: Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) Subsystem: Dell Device 024f Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Memory at f6b0 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Capabilities: -- Groeten, J.Asenjo -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
fedora 13 docking station dual head woes
hi, Since I installed f13 on my laptop (dell latitued e6500) I have to fight every morning to get my dual head display working. The graphic card is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) and this setup worked flawlessly in fedora 12 (but my mobile broadband didn't, so I upgraded, now the mobile broadband works but not the dual head in the docking station). The problem is that when I plug the laptop in the station, the graphical displays goes blank. I cannot use any key to go to a VT, everything is black. Sometimes I can have the laptop reboot by switching to a vt and pressing ctrl-alt-del there, but not always. If I turn the laptop on when already plugged in the docking station, it starts up fine but when getting to the login screen I have only a portion of the screen left with a piece of it, the 3/4 of the left screen and the whole right screen are black. Then I can go to a vt, go to runlevel 3, undock the laptop, go to runlevel 5, dock it and hope for the best. This is taking me about half an hour every morning and is not good for my blood pressure. In the end, it works but it just is absolutely random when. I do not understand why and want to fix this for good. I have the feeling that the problem is that standard fedora wants to mirror the screens. Is there a way to revert this behaviour to the previous behaviour (up to fedora 12)? I think it is great to have it standard mirrored (if it works), but in my case it is not working so I would like to revert it. What more info can I send? Logs? The same problems happen with fedora 13 x86 and with amd64, by the way, in this case it is consistent. -- Groeten, Natxo -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Any hints appreciated. to answer my own question, here is what I have done: in /etc/rc.local I have included this line: /sbin/rfkill block bluetooth so the bluetooth sender is not active.

hi, with F12 the bluetooth applet has a new option: turn (on|off), which is a great thing to have.

hi, I have only one dhcp server on my lan. The laptop has always a good dns name (at home or at work, it has records in both zones).

f12 sometimes is slow to start
hi, I have been using the f12 (686) on a dell latitude e6500 laptop. This is my corporate workstation and so far it's working really nice. Everything works out of the box and configuring it to work with its docking station was very easy (much easier than expected). Great work! Thanks. There is one little problem. Every now and then when I boot the laptop it kind of 'freezes' and a few minutes later it works as it should without any other problems. I can change to a virtual terminal and login there, but if I try to login graphically it will take me like 2 to 3 minutes to complete the process. I cannot see anything in the log files. Like I said, it does not happen all the time nor it is really annoying, but I would like to find out why this is happening. In /var/log/messages I do not get any errors.
