Network problems on new FC4 box - please help.
by William W. Austin 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

I had to replace a disk (the one with all of the home directories on it) on an FC3 box, and so I bought a new drive (particulars unimportant). To make a long story short, I decided to put FC4 on this box, and so I installed the new drive and put the root filesystem on it. I still have the old FC3 root drive and can boot to either for comparison... Under FC3, I have no network problems that I can detect; however, under FC4 there are two distinct (related? no idea) problems which have eluded me. I have tried looking up both of these in the archives, but have had no luck (some similar issues, but nothing exactly like either of these unless I missed them). Problem 1: network card goes to sleep. This machine has 2 network cards, both on-board. The 1GB card L(Intel 82540EM) goes to the smartswitch to tolk to the local network, and does not show any problems. The other card (nVidia nForce2) is a 100MB card and talks to the DSL modem. Periodically I cannot connect to the internet at all - or even ping the DSL modem. This happens irregularly but about 5-10 times/day. If I reboot back to FC3, the problem does not occur. Network configurations between the two (FC3/FC4) are as identical as I can make them. The first few times the problem occurs, sometimes retarting networking works, but eventually a full sys reboot is the only thing which works. Problem 2: slow local network. Under FC3 throughput on the LOCAL network (1GB lan) is very fast. Under FC4, the best I have seen is ONE transfer of about 1.2 MB/s - and throughput drops to as low as 50-75KB/s at times. Again, this does not occur under FC3 but does under FC4. Again the same setup as nearly as I can make it. No workaround found so far. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- william w. austin waustin(a)speakeasy.net "life is just another phase i'm going through. this time, anyway ..."

f10 gdm user hide
by Frank Cox 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Is there any way to remove a user's name from the list on the initial gdm login screen? Related: Is there a way to reorganize the names? For example, if the list has Fred at the top and Sally under that, can the order be reversed so Sally is on top? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com

Domain of sender address ... does not resolve
by Bill Davidsen 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

I just did a new FC9 (fully updated) install, and it regularly rejects outgoing mail with the subject error message. The address does resolve, of course, so I'm not sure what it means instead of what it says. The nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf are the authoritative DNS for the domain, both are up, etc. Someone have a clue? -- 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

FC10 and freeNX
by Jim 07 May '09

07 May '09

Has anyone installed freeNX Server on FC10, how did it go ? I'am aware that you have to install xorg-x11-fonts-misc in FC10. Please no guesses from those who have installed it in FC 7, 8 , it has a different set of problems in FC10 . I have installed it in every FC since FC6.

Unable to login after latest FC10 updates (i386 on Dell GX270)
by Al Dunsmuir 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

I'm running FC10 on 3 systems - 2x 32-bit (DELL GX260, D810 laptop) and 1x 64-bit (AMD quad). After applying all the recent updates, the D810 and AMD box are fine. Unfortunately, on the GX260 I can no longer log on - the Gnome logon panel appears to have all buttons in the bottom row and my user ID button displayed (low intensity) and inactive. This is my DNS, DHCP and Samba server, and these services continue to work in the background. Recommendations as to the appropriate bugzilla component for reporting the problem, and any first-pass problem resolution advice would be appreciated. I've checked the mailing list, but nothing popped up as relevant. Al

F10 and vlc
by Joseph L. Casale 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Wow, out of the loop (I skipped F9), I have vlc and gstreamer-bad/ugly installed. Totem plays mp3's and xvids fine, but vlc is choppy as heck. Given that totem is not exactly what I would prefer to use, how does one fix vlc? Thanks! jlc

application to suck up RSS to local storage?
by Peter Teoh 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

I know thunderbird can be used to view RSS news feed, but, like IMAP, the content is not stored locally, and thus viewing the pages are slow. Is there any application in Redhat which I can use to download RSS newsfeed, so that I can view it locally without much latency delays? -- Regards, Peter Teoh

F10: KDE and second display not working
by Tarjei Knapstad 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I'm running a two-display setup with my laptop (Dell Precision M65) as screen 0 and a second LCD screen as screen 1 (through the proprietary nvidia drivers). This works perfectly fine in gnome. If I log in with KDE I get a desktop, toolbars etc. on Screen 0, but only the desktop background on Screen 1 (no icons, no toolbar, no menu when right-clicking). I had the same problem in F9, where I just gave up and started using Gnome. Has anyone experienced anything similar/have any tips on how to fix this? I'd really like to go back to KDE soon :) This is with a fully updated F10 install in addition to: kmod-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.4.i686 kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686-177.82-1.fc10.4.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-177.82-1.fc10.i386 Thanks, -- Tarjei
