g++ question on F13
by Paul Allen Newell 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

To the Fedora community: I have upgraded one of my machines to F13 in expectation of F12 hitting end of life. For the most part, no problems, but I do see a question. Before I send email to GNU gcc, I wanted to make sure I understood Fedora's plan of action. The install DVD and yum updates have g++ 4.4.4. GNU's home page is listing the latest on that minor as 4.4.5. I don't see pdf docs for 4.4.4, only 4.4.5. I wanted to find out if the F13 line was going to upgrade to 4.4.5 before I started asking GNU gcc folks about where the archives of old pdf man pages were. My feeling is that if I use 4.4.5 docs, I should be okay for running 4.4.4, but I couldn't see in the gcc update docs whether I was missing something or not. Thanks in advance, Paul ps: what g++ is F14 going to have?

creating cgroup hierarchy
by Simon Brandner 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hello, i tried to create sub-directories in a cgroups mount. I tried the following: # mkdir test # cd test # echo 0 > cpuset.mems # echo 0 > cpuset.cpus # cat memory.use_hierarchy 1 # mkdir subtest mkdir: cannot create directory `subtest': Invalid argument So it did not work. Several tutorials mention a hierarchy or subgroups would be possible, but in none it was descibed how to manage this. Could this feature be disabled in the kernel or somewhere else? My active Kernel version is: 26.34.7-61.fc13.i686 Regards, Simon -- Neu: GMX De-Mail - Einfach wie E-Mail, sicher wie ein Brief! Jetzt De-Mail-Adresse reservieren: http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/demail

OT ? I'm about this close to buying an iPad...
by linux guy 06 Nov '10

06 Nov '10

Hi people. I need to vent... I'm getting frustrated with Linux. Well, not Linux per se, and not Fedora, but the whole experience part of things. I desperately need to do something about the audio system in my car. Its got a head unit that doesn't have an aux in, nor does it support mp3s, etc. It needs to be replaced ASAP. I also need navigation, desperately. Its been that way for a while. I considered doing a car PC. I didn't like all the engineering required to do that, so I nixed it. I considered embedding a HP Tablet in the dash. I took a close look at them and nixed it due to display issues, heat, etc. So I've been waiting and waiting. I considered buying a dedicated head unit with nav but the screens are too small and they seem to go out of date faster than bread on the counter. Along comes the iPad. And it seems to do everything I want. Plays MP3s. Does nav. Bright screen. Affordable. And if you check youtube, lots of people have embedded them in cars. But being an OS guy, I want a machine running Linux, not iOS or whatever its called. Where is it ? I keep reading stories about dozens of tablet devices running Linux/Android/Meego on Slashdot, but where are they ? While I have your attention, I also own a Nokia N900 phone. Right now its running Maemo, which works, but is hardly what one would call elegant. Actually, there are some things that don't work, but that is another story. Nokia is saying they will be shipping Meego in October. I have my fingers crossed. Another thing I am waiting on is KDE 4.6. I am pretty disappointed by KDE 4.5 I know it was a bug fix release, but I expected more. At this point I REALLY have to applaud Apple. They really seem to have their act together. The various vendors in the Linux camp really need to get their butts in gear and start delivering. Hardware companies need to get their tablets OUT into the market. Nokia et al need to get Meego OUT and get some nice apps written for it. (Have you looked at the iPad and iPhone app store lately ?) And the KDE camp needs to finish delivering on their vision for what KDE 4 is supposed to be. I wait, growing more impatient day by day. LG

Why is Fedora continuing to propagate FF 3.5 on F12?
by Paolo Galtieri 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

F12 updated FF to version 3.5.15, however, when you start up FF on F12 it tells you that FF 3.5 is out of date and you should instead download version 3.6. If FF 3.5 is out of date why continue to update it? Why not replace it with version 3.6? Paolo

by S P Arif Sahari Wibowo 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hi! I would like to grant access to audio to certain users other than the one currently login physically / on console. I tried to add all those users to the group pulse-access, pulse, and audio, but it does not work. I still get this error: $ paplay /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/sonar.ogg Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused Anybody know how to setup this? Thanks! -- ____ ____ ____ ____ (stephan paul) Arif Sahari Wibowo /___ /___/ /___/ /___ http://www.arifsaha.com/ ____/ / / / ____/

Intermittent freezing
by Nigel Bishop 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

I am running Fedora 13 with Linux Kernel 2.6.33-3.85.fc13.x86_64 with Gnome 2.30.0 on HP laptop ProBook 4510S At times, it almost freezes, with very slow response to the keyboard. System monitor shows that something is hogging the CPU. Sometimes, after a few minutes, it recovers, other times I have to re-boot. Any ideas? Nigel

Fedora 13 install
by Rod McCown 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Trying to install Fedora 13. Install freezes while partitioning disk and creating file systems. Using ATA drives, AMD Duron 1GHz proc, with 1GB RAM. Tried letting it put it's own layout on there. Tried using just 4 basic partitions and using ext2. System freezes. Any ideas why? Rod McCown ><> UNIX Senior Systems Admin.

Which package you would like every new Fedora user to see?
by Valent Turkovic 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Which piece of software you believe that every new Fedora user should be aware of that isn’t installed by default on Fedora Live CD? Why do you think that this package should be installed by default? Make your claim strong enough and I’ll include it by default in new Fusion Linux 14 Fedora Remix. http://fusionlinux.org/ -- pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt blog: http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com linux, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless, ronjenje, pametne kuće, zwave registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

PAE
by Patrick Dupre 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hello, How am I update from "no pae" to PAE kenerl. Even setting DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-PAE in /etc/sysconfig/kernel it is ignored by anaconda (from the DVD). How can I tell to the installer to use such option ? fedora 11, 12 or 13 ?

display
by Patrick Dupre 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hello, On the same machine I have a fedora 11 and a fedora 13 installed. On the fedora 13 I can get the resolution of 1280x1024 but not on the fedora 13. I can only get 1024x786. The same graphics dirver are installed. The same monitor type (LCD Panel 1280x1024). Intel integrated chipset (82Q963/Q965) I even try to copy the /etc/X11/xorg.conf from one system to the other one but without any success. It seems that the resolution is set at the startx. Or by grub ? In both cases I do not have the rhgb option.
