upon starting the desktop, the cursor is an ugly square
by Robert P. J. Day 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

as soon as i log into my f11b gnome desktop, my cursor changes from the standard arrow to a square, about 1.5 x 1.5 cm in size, and it appears to remain a square until i finally select an application to run, at which point it reverts to its normal cursor form and everything is fine. known issue? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Not sure if bugbuddy adds any heft to the Live images. Regardless though, I actually was talking to James Laska about this just the other day. The easier the community uptake, the more people can dive in and get involved. I've found the Live images really helped me. I don't tend to have a lot of time to devote to testing, yet I was able to successfully run some tests and generate a few bug reports for the Nouveau test day. It was a great experience and I'd like as many other people to enjoy it as possible. I'd suggest that followups on this go to fedora-test-list, since that's typically where the QA folks do the bulk of their planning and execution. -- Paul W.

F11-beta: no italian language support
by Guido Grazioli 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

I just installed F11 beta on a qemu-kvm over my main F9 install, and anaconda didn't list italian support in "languages" group. I could install italian support after installation with s-c-language though. Which component should i open a ticket against? -- Guido Grazioli <guido.grazioli(a)gmail.com> Via Parri 11 48011 - Alfonsine (RA) Mobile: +39 347 1017202 (10-18) Key FP = 7040 F398 0DED A737 7337 DAE1 12DC A698 5E81 2278 Linked in: http://www.linkedin.com/in/guidograzioli

what *is* the proper recipe for 64-bit flash support?
by Robert P. J. Day 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

as i posted yesterday, after a fresh f11 beta install, the first time i brought up firefox and browsed to a page with embedded flash, i got: "Additional plugins are needed ... " "Install Missing Plugins" however, as i reported, if you simply follow the recipe, elect to install those plugins, you get to download something from adobe, it gets installed, etc etc, but when that's all over, you *still* don't have flash support, and i'm guessing that that set of steps would work fine for i386 but not for an x86_64 install. is that correct? and if so, what *is* the proper set of steps to get flash support for a 64-bit f11 install? and if the default recipe doesn't actually work for 64-bit, it seems that it shouldn't walk a user through those steps if it's not eventually going to work after it's over. or am i missing something? i have a fresh, fully-updated, x86_64 f11 beta sitting in front of me, i haven't touched anything related to flash, and i'm willing to test whatever recipe someone wants to suggest and report back. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

After install, unhandled exception trying to eject cdrom?
by Robert P. J. Day 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

moving on, the f11b x86_64 install finished installing the last package, then promptly gave me an unhandled exception error, clearly complaining about not being able to eject the cdrom. from manual transcription: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/devices.py", line 2687, in eject log.warning("error ejecting cdrom ... etc etc what was annoying was that i was then given the chance to file that bug with bugzilla, even though i was not connected to the net. would it not make more sense to bypass the bugzilla offer if you have no network interface? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

F11beta experiences
by Bill Davidsen 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Tried to do an install using KVM and an i386 image from torrent. After the install count hit 1075 (complete) it hung. It sort-of works, sent a few dumps via bug reporter. On the off chance that the image was bad, I pulled a 2nd copy with jigdo and that has the same cksum, so there is an issue of some kind. Booted the x86_64 Live on an Acer dual core Athlon, that worked pretty well, I may plug in a USB drive and install on that, I need what's on it now. However, I got many kernel failures which reported themselves via bug reporter. the big PITA is that the wireless keeps connecting and disconnecting, using NM. I noted this on F10, and it doesn't happen when I use the network stuff or connect by hand, manually using iwconfig and dhclient (I just did that for testing). But it will connect (and reconnect) over and over, just like NM and F10. The connection stays up as far as the application knows, but the network "pauses" frequently. I can send a log if anyone is going to look at it, but I assume it's part of power management, wireless not used in 20 sec, shut it off? NFS doesn't work using a UDP connection. The mount completes but the transfer rate is more or less unusable, 50-100kB/min. With a TCP mount the transfer rate is just under 1MiB/sec, nicely useful. This is *not* the case with hardwire connection, only wireless. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Bell causes volume to go down?
by Jonathan Kamens 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

With current Rawhide... Whenever gnome-terminal tries to beep, e.g.,, if I hit ctrl-g in a gnome-terminal window or hit the backspace key when there's nowhere to back up, my master sound volume gets reset from wherever it is to an extremely low setting. And, incidentally, there's no beep. Seems like a bug, but I have no idea what to file it against. Any suggestions? jik
