[off topic(slightly)] New hardware compatibility
by Fulko.Hew＠sita.aero 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Although slightly off topic, who best to comment on new hardware compatibility, than new software testers! I need to buy a new, replacement laptop and am looking at the Dell Inspiron 9400. But I'm concerned with the compatibility/driver issues especially w.r.t the video and audio support. For video, this machine can have either the onboard Intel 950, ATI x1400, or NVidia GeoForce Go 7900 GS at resolutions of either 1920x1080 or 1680x1050. Does Xorg therefore FC6 drive these resolutions on these video chips? Also, you get your choice of audio, is audio in _and_ out supported? Can anybody with one of these notebooks share their experiences? TIA

RE: yum broken

Another approach is to pull the latest rawhide version of yum (yum-2.9.5-4.noarch.rpm) from one of the mirrors and perform a: rpm -Uvh yum-2.9.5-4.noarch.rpm ... which will get you back on track. For example, I'm using a x86 box, so I found the latest yum at: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ Hth, /p2 -----Original Message----- From: fedora-test-list-bounces(a)redhat.com [mailto:fedora-test-list-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Ian Burrell Sent: Friday, September 01, 2006 10:56 AM To: For testers of Fedora Core development releases Subject: Re: yum broken On 9/1/06, sidney dunham <sidd(a)megalink.net> wrote: > Yum is broken after the most recent update. could anyone tell me how > to get it going again. package manager and piruit are are also broken. > Some one mentioned about reverting to fedora core 5 yum how would I go > about that.

As a temporary fix, move the installonlyn.* files from /usr/lib/yum-plugins. That will let yum work without the plugin. - Ian -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list

Re: fonts look horrible after recent FC5 update

> Anyone else seeing this? Fonts suddenly all look awful. Maybe something > broke with anti-aliasing? Take a look at: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8097 I also noticed horrid font rendering after getting new FC5 dejavu updates this morning and have been updating the above bugzilla. The .font.conf file in there seems to fix things for me (but it doesn't seem good that you need to change the default rendering to make things readable).

Yum is broken after the most recent update. could anyone tell me how to get it going again. package manager and piruit are are also broken. Some one mentioned about reverting to fedora core 5 yum how would I go about that. I retreived the RPMS from the development list. could not install from terminal said they conflicted with yum-2.9.5-3. Can not remove yum-2.9.5-3 because of dependencies with yum-metadata-parser. Have Googled this no help there. Does anyone have any ideas. All help would be appreciated Thanks in advance Sidney Dunham
