RAGE XL Framebuffer
by Yanick Quirion 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all I know that is not a specific question about Fedora, but I can't find answer on the kernel mailing list. Is somebody having server with integrated ATI RAGE XL video card? Is it possible to patch the kernel to support this video card? If I add VGA=791 in my grub.conf, I will have a resolution of 1024x768 which is good, but the display is very slow (especially when the screen is scrolling). If I use I this: "video=aty128fb:1024x768@70" it will not work. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 but I will try 2.6.0-test11 today. If somebody has a patch, a link or anything else that can help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

WiFi restoration
by Timothy Murphy 12 May '15

12 May '15

One room in my house is at the boundary of WiFi reception, and WiFi occasionally fails there. When this happens it is nearly always restored by re-booting. Re-starting NetworkManager never does the trick, however. Is there any other step I could take, short of re-booting? I'm running Fedora-21/KDE. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

Tablet hardware
by Florian Weimer 09 May '15

09 May '15

Is there any tablet-like hardware which is well-supported by Fedora 20 and later? Something with a high-resolution display? I don't need 3D acceleration beyond what's needed to run a typical desktop environment, but I'd like to have lots of RAM, a bit of CPU power (perhaps even a current Core i7) and an SSD with decent read speed.

Yum and partial downloads.
by Robin Laing 08 May '15

08 May '15

This was a question asked of me by one of our network admins. Background. Today, while doing the updates on my machine at work, one of the packages was close to 300MB in size. Yum tried to download this file multiple times with no success. It kept timing out with the below 1000 Bytes/second for over 30 seconds. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=964298 In one case, the file was at 99% complete when it stopped. Restarted on a different mirror at 0% Due to firewall rules there is bandwidth management and it allows downloads to start at a high speed only to slow down at 25MB. The Question. The network admin asked if Fedora was like Ubuntu that will continue downloading where it left off? I stated I doubted it as the display kept going back to zero Robin Laing

Nouveau trouble
by Anders Wegge Keller 07 May '15

07 May '15

With a Dell Precision M4600, running Fedora 21, I've started experiencing troubles with my X sessions within the last six months. The symptoms is that X frezzes, and sometimes, but not always, I can switch to a VT and make a controlled shutdown. At other times, the machine is totally unresponsive, and the only resort is to force a powerdown. I cannot state a more precise date for the first occurrence, as I wrote it off as thermal problems. However, after a vacuum session, the problem persisted, so I dug into the system logs. In /var/log/messages, I find the following pattern on each occurrence: Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost kernel: [11057.344140] nouveau E[gnome-shell[2031]] multiple instances of buffer 156 on validation list Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost kernel: [11057.344157] nouveau E[gnome-shell[2031]] validate_init Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost kernel: [11057.344162] nouveau E[gnome-shell[2031]] validate: -22 Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost kernel: nouveau E[gnome-shell[2031]] multiple instances of buffer 156 on validation list Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost kernel: nouveau E[gnome-shell[2031]] validate_init Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost kernel: nouveau E[gnome-shell[2031]] validate: -22 Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost gnome-session: nouveau: kernel rejected pushbuf: Ugyldigt argument Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost gnome-session: nouveau: ch0: krec 0 pushes 1 bufs 16 relocs 0 Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost gnome-session: nouveau: ch0: buf 00000000 00000002 000 00004 00000004 00000000 Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost gnome-session: nouveau: ch0: buf 00000001 0000009e 000 00002 00000002 00000000 Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost gnome-session: nouveau: ch0: buf 00000002 00000079 000 00004 00000004 00000000 Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost gnome-session: nouveau: ch0: buf 00000003 00000007 00000002 00000002 00000000 ... The graphics card identifies as follows: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108GLM [Quadro 1000M] (rev a1) The frequency of the lock-ups are independant on wheter Optimus Prime is enabled or not. Has anyone seen something similar to this before, and if so, what cures have you found? -- //Wegge

Tainted kernels
by Joe Zeff 04 May '15

04 May '15

Earlier, I'd asked about what was causing abrt to claim that my laptop's kernel was tainted, even though I don't know of anything that would cause this. Somebody asked me to check a certain location in /proc, which turned out not to exist on the laptop. I'd like to check again, and check it on my desktop as well because I know the desktop's kernel is tainted by kmod-nvidia, and that would give me a good way to compare a known-tainted kernel with my laptop's. Alas, I've lost the email with the pointer in it. If anybody remembers what I'm supposed to check, please let me know. Thanx!

what happened to the dkim-milter?
by Franta Hanzlík 03 May '15

03 May '15

I'm looking for Fedora 20 dkim-milter package (which was in F19 and lower), but it seems as it isn't available - probably not even in the F21). Know anyone? Where can I see the fate of the packages that were formerly and now are not it (e.g. LTSP and others) ? -- TIA, Franta Hanzlik
