Hardware Database - Request for experiences!
by Philip Johnson 27 Dec '04

27 Dec '04

OK, there is now a HCL at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HCL. Well, that said, Doncho had beat me to it, so it isn't new or anything :P I'm also going to be helping out, and I would appreciate it if you could all send me a report on how your hardware has worked within fedora (whether it worked straight away without any fiddling, or if you had to do something to make it work (if this is the case please state)). However, please send them to plasticmonkey at gmail.com so we don't end up with them all over the list - I'm sure there's more important topics to be discussed. Thanks, Philip Johnson (PlasticMonkey)

What Packages in Fedora you be thankful of?
by Joel Juliano 27 Dec '04

27 Dec '04

Now christmas is coming, and Fedora Project make it this far, I think it's time for us to thank the developers, just for the holiday to make it memorable. In any version released in Fedora core, what packages or features you be thankful of? Create your own list, and tell how you feel thankful for it. This is my list. 1. The Bluecurve desktop, the developers behind the artworks and icons, personally I like it very much, it not only bring much familiarity, ease of use, and comfortability, it also brings a "breath of life and fresh air" in all the desktop races, giving hope in familiarization, standardization, and on using the desktop more easily. To the developers, thank you for doing so. 2. The Anaconda Installer, because it's the most easiest Linux installation I've ever seen, aside from it's easy to install linux with it, it has a welcoming atmosphere, and the package selection where as easy as "add/remove programs" in windows, and making it available it the desktop is an innovation to Linux. To the developer, here is my thanks to you. 3. The up2date applet. Not only this is omnipresent in the desktop, It is also makes easier to see when your system is behind the latest packages, because up2date automatically display in icons the status of your system, in an animated applet. So the next time you see a message "Your system is fully updated", it would bring a smile in your face. Thanks for this. 4. Inclusion of Rythmbox, Evolution 2 and Firefox. I'm thankful for inclusion of Rythmbox, because it makes me organized my audio CD's, more like iTunes does, and the new Evolution is easier to use and Firefox browser that replaced the heavy mozilla browser. Hopefully we see more packages like Calendars, Paint applications, and cool games. But thanks for you guys who makes the Fedora complete (yet for now). Of course, Fedora isn't yet that complete, there's a lot of room for improvement, and innovations. This where just based on my personal opinion, and my thanks to the developers that I feel the need to be grateful of, using all of this. Anyways, I'm grateful, and thanks for all of your effort, thank you very much.

Playing CDs on FC3
by gslink 27 Dec '04

27 Dec '04

I noticed that even though sound cards and speakers check out that in FC3 only the root user can play a cd. Any other user gets a popup that the cd can't be read. Has anyone else had this trouble? No changes to access privledges were made after installation so this is the assumed setting.

udev problem?
by Paul F. Johnson 27 Dec '04

27 Dec '04

Hi, Is it udev which controls if a CD or zip disk can be unmounted? I seem to be having a problem by which a disc can be read, ripped, burned to - generally used, but will fail to eject. There is nothing in dmesg about the failure. Using rawhide with udev 048-2 (I had the problem with 048-4, so reinstalled the older version, but it's not done much to help). I need to file a bugzilla report, but need to know if it should be under udev. TTFN Paul -- "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" - Life of Brian, Monty Python

RE: DOOM3 and Fedora

Any pointers? > GL_RENDERER: Mesa GLX Indirect Looks like there's no accelerated 3d available on your system (or it's not configured correctly). Also, to play Doom 3 on Fedora you need an nvidia card with the nvidia binary drivers, at least until ATI or the DRI pe"ople make some progress with their drivers. Any other hardware is certainly not powerful enough to run the game. =====================================================> ====ELW> Indeed, I have NVIDIA and those binary drivers as well. The Doom 3 Demo played perfect on FC3 kernels prior to "2.6.9-1.681_FC3" So here is what I did to resolve the problem: --Move to "2.6.9-1.715_FC3" from testing repository --Re-run the NVIDIA install script with the "--add-this-kernel" option. --Reboot And away we go!!! Doom3 is awesome!! I just could not let my relatives running Windows out do my Linux Box during the holidays. One caveat: There is indeed a gotcha. -- known issue that causes the laptop to lockup when logging out from the KDE or GNOME desktop. I believe this has already been reported for "2.6.9-1.715_FC3" in previous threads. I hope this is fixed in upstream kernels for FC3?

Strange mounting / unmounting problem
by Paul F. Johnson 26 Dec '04

26 Dec '04

Hi, I have been listening (and ripping) a couple of CDs I was given as presents yesterday. They both claim to be copy protected, but both seem happy enough in my machine. They both played fine, but failed to eject. I did a power reset and they would still not eject, so I used a trusty paper clip and opened the drawers to extract the discs. Odd thing is that neither drive will open at all. Okay, that seems strange, but I've noticed this before. If I start my machine without a zip disc in the drive, the drive never mounts the disc when I put one in. If I start the machine with a disc in the drive, it won't read or unmount it. Anyone else seeing this and if they are, how do I fix the problem? TTFN Paul -- "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" - Life of Brian, Monty Python
