Evo 2.32, FC 14 and exchange
Hello all, I have upgraded FC13->14 and find evolution no longer displays Exchange (OWA) calendars. Or at least it does for 5 seconds before issuing half a dozen messages saying: 'The evolution calendar has quit unexpectedly' or memo, or tasks. I tried to run debug scripts I last used in 2008 and find that evolution-data-server is completely remodelled, E2K_DEBUG=4 tells me nothing etc. I cannot even work out which process is dying. Can anyone tell me where to look please?

Kernel kernel-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64 death
Hello all, Has anyone else the same problem as me? The latest kernel, kernel-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64 does not boot. The grub 'choose kernel screen starts and then everything goes black, the monitor goes to sleep and the machine hangs there. If I take of "rhgb quiet " to see what is happening I just cannot - about a page of text appears, flashes off screen and it goes black. So I do not know how to debug this. This is F13 on a Intel(R) Core 2 Duo E6750 cpu. Any ideas anyone?

NetworkManager wont start eth0
Hello all, I have a problem with my Network Manager. Its been broken for a couple of weeks, not sure when. The computer is static, but I use NM to run the pptp package. However, at the moment if I start NM it has the 'enable networking' box greyed out and will not start. This might be to do with a bridge network used for internal KVM guests - but it was all playing fine a month or two ago. If I don't use NM all works fine. I tried deleting the eth0 from system-config-network. I don't like to do the same for the Br as I am not sure how to remake it. But I can try if people think I should. It was a bit fiddly making the host machine export NFS disks to the guests; I think I needed this for that. Any suggestions?

OpenAFS on Fedora laptop
Hello all, I run openafs on my Fedora laptop. Works very nicely. However, there is one problem: the startup scripts come up before NM has had a chance to open any interfaces, so it seems no internet and switches off at boot time. I can hack the scripts to ignore this and bring it up anyway - in which case it works like a charm. But I have to remember to re-hack any time there is an update. Is there a good reason the default is not to start with no I/F? How can I avoid having to do this every so often?

FC13 and (k)qemu
Dear Fedora, qemu appears to have a problem in FC13. None of my VM's boots anymore from hard disk (I can boot using a rescue CD as a drive) They all start listing gPXE information (odd, that never used to appear in FC12) and then say Booting from Hard Disk Grub loading stage 2 and stick like that for ever.

fc13 intel graphics, dual head problem
vga1 Hello there, I am having a problem with a dual-head setup in FC13. It worked until a few days ago: * intel 82Q35 graphics, i915 controller * SAMSUNG syncmaster 743 and HP LP1965 displays, both 1280x1024. The problem is that the Samsung is fine by itself but with the HP (DVI1) connected too then the Samsung (VGA1) is not recognised and I cannot set resolution above 1024x768. xorg.0.conf has very little feedback - just lists Modelines for 1024x768 to 640x480. As I said, disconnecting the HP allows it to find 1280x1024 on the Samsung - and all the model information etc. That is simply missing when both are connected. Any ideas please?

It depends upon what application you use. In Fedora 11 my Dell integrated cam 'just worked'; in F12 the 'evo' web conference tool doesn't seem to recognise it - I get an error about 'no openGL found' If you have problems, and can find a 'live' F11 to check with, it might be worth testing.

The dead links (lsof | grep deleted) is very interesting - I have 49 of them, which seems bad, mostly /tmp files from a "gnome-terminal -ssh XXX.YYY" which are all 3Mb. However, this is only 150MB, I am hunting for 30GB. Rebooting should remove all such, and makes no difference. Chris Smart asked what 'du' I had tried. 'It was 'du -sh'. Note that it agreed well with baobob so I thought that made it trustworthy. Any more ideas? I guess I could copy the filesystem contents to another disk and back, I have the space for that, but it seems a little over-the-top. And it may well come back...
