by Lawrence E Graves 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

I updated to the new kernel 40-4 and now my vmware workstation will not compile. I believe there is a missing program. Please check. -- Lawrence E Graves <lgraves(a)risingstarmbc.com> All things are workable but don't all things work. Proverbs 3:5 & 6

Booting with two (2 ) device graphic adapters.
by Paulo 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Hello All. I have a singular problem booting Fedora, and is an interisting problem. I have a Dell Notebook XPS-15z ( i7-2620M - 8GB RAM ). It has two (2) device graphic adapters. -- 1) Intel HD Graphics 3000 (integrated). -- 2) NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M 3D-Vision. OK .. Lets go to the problem... During Booting Process the video drivers Nouveau or Vesa, depending on boot option, can`t identify that there are 2 graphic adapters, or they can`t allocate one of them to use, and then the booting process is halted with a white screen. There are some kind of Kernel parameters to specify to the video driver that it must allocate only one device graphic adapter on machines with two graphic adapters ???????? Interesting problem... Thanks all.

which process display a given window?
by Franta Hanzlík 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

A few moments ago on my F15 desktop appeared window with title "Authentication" and two user-fillable fields within, "Name" and "Password". Nothing else. At this moment I not expect from none of cca 15-20 running apps this question window, nor from several running applets (thus, probably some crackers want access to my credit cards ;) How generally I can state which process display it? I would expect, when right-clicking on window top title bar, some item as e.g. "window properties" - where would be possible find info about process displaying this window. But there isn't nothing of the kind. Thus, is there other way discovering this? I forgot mention, I'm now in F15 using XFCE (but IMO in Gnome window manager has not capability too). Thanks, Franta Hanzlik

xbmc "Unit akmods.service entered failed state."
by oleksandr korneta 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Greetings, While playing with xbmc on F15 x86_64 my computer completely freezes after several minutes. There is no reaction to keyboard or mouse events, I can't even connect trough SSH, only hard reset helps. After reboot the last thing I see in /var/log/messages from the previous session is either systemd[1]: akmods.service: control process exited, code=exited status=128 systemd[1]: Unit akmods.service entered failed state. or simpy systemd[1]: Unit akmods.service entered failed state. The case is very repeatable, Sometimes I survive for longer than 15 minutes, but mostly this happens within several minutes. There is no particular action that leads to this, sometime the computer freezes while idling. I have never had anything like that happening with any other software, and I run lots of various stuff. Can anyone suggest where do I complain? The xbmc is installed from rpmfusion, so is akmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs. How do I diagnose this somewhat further to be able to submit more info to devs? -- regards, atenrok I'm running F14 and F15 x86_64, should this matter. /The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from./

hsqldb missing hsqldb.jar
by Javier Perez 02 Aug '11

Hi I just upgrade my machine to FC15 from FC14. Hsqldb is not working properly. /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar links to a non existing link [root@pepewin lib]# ls -al /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 1 02:19 /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar -> hsqldb.jar The hsqldb.jar on the far right is a blinking red icon (meaning a missing link target) I DO have a hsqldb.jar file on /usr/share/java/hsqldb.jar Should I target this file for the missing link? I reinstalled the hsqldb 1.8.1.3-3.fc15 and still got the same error ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho(a)gmail.com ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.

Rdesktop - Machine hanging problem
by Rajender.M 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Hello All, I installed Fedora core15 in our host machine which contains the rdesktop version1.6.0 When i try to connect to the remote machine using rdesktop the machine hangs and we need to do a hard reboot every time. We tried to install the same version in another machine and same thing happened in that machine too. Since rdesktop is a normal user space application; such "cannot" hang the machine. So most likely the problem is with the Fedora15 os as with the Xorg server or may be any other reason. I dint find any body reporting the same problem in the web and i need to resolve this issue. So please can any one help me in this regard. Regards, Rajender

What happend to aes586?
by Clemens Eisserer 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Hi, I've recently switched to dmcrypt with aes cipher, which works quite well except for beeing a little bit slow (~40mb/s read/write), where even weaker CPUs in an old comparison I found yield ~60-80mb/s. A few times AES586 is mentioned beeing a hand optimized assembler version of the generic AES module, but I wasn't able to find it. Is it not part of the Fedora15 default kernel, or has it been removed from vanilla as well? Thank you in advance, Clemens
