CPU temperature after update
by Yaroslav Sapozhnyk 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

Hi, I have Thinkpad T500 laptop with Fedora 14 KDE installed. Before the KDE 4.6 update the idle CPU temperature was ~42C. However after the update the CPU temperature varies between 48-50C. I noticed that the lm_sensors-lib package was also updated so I downgraded it. But it didn't help. Testing the initial Fedora 14 KDE LiveUSB the CPU temperature was about 40C so it's not hardware problem. I did notice that the fan speeds differ from the LiveUSB system now (e.g. for the same temperature LiveUSB fan speed is higher - so the CPU temp is lower). Does anybody know where is the default configuration for the fan speed? I don't use any fan control programs/scripts. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -- Regards, Yaroslav Sapozhnyk

Wireless network connectivity problem
by Temlakos 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545, which has a built-in wireless device--though I never used it until recently, being content to use a direct wired connection. A week and a half ago, I took it overseas and there attempted to use a wireless hotspot at my hotel. But when I tried to use the Network Configuration and Network Device Control applets, nothing operated, nor could I find the network, even after typing in the SSID that the hotel receptionists provided. My fellow travelers were able to use the hotspot, but not I. And I've noticed that with KDE, those two applets don't even have an option to activate or deactivate a network device. The regular Ethernet device says "inactive" though I know it's active, because I'm using it right now. What did I do wrong during installation? What can I do now to get wireless connectivity working? (Say if I want to try another local hotspot?) What should I do when the next iteration of Fedora is released and it's time for me to upgrade? Any help would be appreciated. Temlakos

F15 Beta RC2 now up for desktop testing!
by Adam Williamson 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hey, everyone. Fedora 15 Beta RC2 is now available, including all desktop live images: http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Beta.RC2/ (hasn't finishing mirroring there yet, but should do soon, it's on alt if you need it RIGHT NOW). Desktop validation test page is up at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_15_Beta_RC2_Desktop Your help is appreciated to fill it out! This build stands a reasonable shot at becoming the Beta, so please do give it a once-over. I've tested that each image boots and looks vaguely sane, and the bug from RC1 where anaconda crashed if you ran it from a live image is fixed. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Disk Sleep + Zombie = Frustration!
by Anne Wilson 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Ten years ago I was told that one of the strengths of Linux was that if an application went down it didn't take other processes with it. Sadly this no longer seems to be true. Today I had used GIMP to make a scan of 200MB. When I tried to save it it started, but then went into Disk Sleep. XSane and, believe it or not, Libre Office Calc became zombies, responding to nothing that I could find in System Monitor. Eventually, remember previous episodes, I asked for a system restart. The shutdown began, then hung, leaving me with no option but to power down. I know these are not KDE applications, but tracing the parentage through System Monitor, it seems to go back to kdeinit (from memory - possibly inaccurate). This isn't the first such episode I've seen, though it's the worst for a while. It's exceedingly frustrating! Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

Is anyone else here fed up with browsing Konqueror bookmarks ?
by linux guy 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

I'm running fully up to date KDE in F14. For a long time I've hated browsing bookmarks in Konqueror when they are accessed by the menu item. I have a ton of bookmarks gathered over many years. The folders alone for all my bookmarks nearly cover nearly a 1680x1050 display in the menu. The issue that I have is that once one opens the bookmark menu, its very hard to go from the "home" area (ie where no bookmark is selected) to the proper folder. More often than not, a folder gets triggered in between getting from the home area to the desired folder. Its very frustrating. The other problem I have is when using multiple displays, the bookmark menu opens on the wrong display. I have 2 displays. The left one is my secondary display. The right one is the primary display, ie its the one with my menus, task bar, etc. When I open Konqueror, it displays on the primary display. No issue there. The first time I open the bookmarks menu, it opens in the primary display. The second time I open the bookmarks menu, it opens in the secondary display, which is not correct in my books. Both of these behaviors have been present for a long time. Anyone else have these issues ? Thanks
