Where is diskboot.img?
by Kazutoshi Morioka 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Was the diskboot.img gone? If so, what is the replacement for diskboot.img? Almost all PCs can't boot from efidisk.img.

Swallow an app in gnome panel?
by Reid Rivenburgh 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Hi. I currently have two gnome panels; a vertical one on the right, and a short one along the bottom. I use the one on the right for my pager, window list, and miscellaneous utilities like meters and clock. I currently have the system monitor applet in there, which works well, but I'm partial to gkrellm. Is there a way in gnome to tell it to add the full gkrellm window in the panel? Not a button to launch gkrellm or something like that, but gkrellm itself. I had a similar setup in KDE 3.5. Thanks, reid

yum stuck trying to connect to Stanford
by Per Bothner 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

When I do a 'yum upgrade' (on F9), I get the attached result. I looks like it's trying to connect to the Stanford network. And indeed yesterday I was at Stanford with my laptop, and it did try to connect to Stanford's wireless network, which is one of those that requires a code/logon, which I don't have. But now I'm home again, and I still get this weird error. This is even after re-booting twice, stopping NetworkManager, and manually bringing up eth0, which I connecting through just fine. How do I "unstick" yum? -- --Per Bothner per(a)bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/

Can't watch flash player output with firefox (F9-prev)
by Leslie S Satenstein 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

F9beta worked like a charm. I did a clean install of the f9-prev, installed the *repo for adobe flash, installed the flash (as I did for the F9 Beta) and I have no sound from the flash website. Sound works from mp3s and from ogg, so what do I need to do to have sound. Leslie PS as for more info. I am using the 686 version (32 bit) so that I do not ndiswrapper I have switched sound option from autodetect to pulse, in case the problem is in that area.

jigdo
by Adam Pribyl 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

I appreciate the effort put into preparing jigdo and templates for F9, however I'm bit strugglig what is the purpose of this method. It's maybe great for server side distribution, but it's bit useless without users using it right? As of now, there is no description how to use those cryptic .jigdo file on fedoraproject pages. You can find it only on http://fedoraunity.org/solved/post-install-solutions/jigdo/ and it actually is not a "one click" method (btw: pyjigdo I did not found in repos for F8, or am I wrong?). Would it be worth droping at least note at get-fedora pages what to do with those jigdo files, if we do not have an application to asociate them in web browser? Adam Pribyl

Add/Remove Software
by James J Catchpole 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

I am not sure if anyone has commented on the Add/Remove Software function but I find it almost impossible to use. Following are a couple of comments: 1) It appears that you can only Add or Remove one package at a time. 2) The Filter function is almost useless 3) After every Install | Remove the entire list must be refreshed 4) Depending on 'whatever' it often displays Packages multiple times 5) I calculate that if I spent several days working steadily with this function I still would not come close to finishing. Maybe I am missing something that makes this function usable; anyone have any ideas?

Package gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.1-0.2008.03.26.7.fc9.i386.rpm is not signed
