Missing menu items after upgrade
by Carwyn Edwards 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

I have just upgraded from FC2 to FC3test3 then synced up to the current rawhide. All went well apart from the nvidia troubles but the latest nvidia dev rpms on livna fix everything quite well. What I have noticed is that I seem to have various Applications menu items that are missing, most notably Mozilla and Evolution. Both the evolution and mozilla rpms are installed and the .desktop files are present (rpm -V passes on both). At first I thought it was a "preferred applications" thing but even changing my preferred apps didn't being them into existence. Am I missing something obvious here? Carwyn

"Configuring kernel parameters" stalls
by Scott Fones 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

I decided to install FC3t3, booted into kde, downloaded all updates, installed the NVIDIA driver and a few applications. Now when I go to boot up into either the 2.6.8 or 2.6.9 kernel, it just stalls when it gets past the first two options to "Configuring kernel parameters". This never made a difference before, but it fails to start the Xserver when booting into runlevel 5 until the login screen. I have tried using a live cd, but can't figure out how to mount partition. If anyone has any ideas on either how to fix it or further troubleshooting, they'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott

Problem installing FC3 test 3 with nvidia
by Mailing List 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

Hi, I have a problem installing FC3 test 3. I have a Nvidia Quadro 4 videocard. This is default not supported in FC (gives black screen on screen 0 and scrambled screen on screen1) During install, I chose text-install to avoid the graphical installation. (That helped installing FC1 before) But after installing, it will boot in first-boot-mode , starting a graphical screen , starting with the licence agreement. This will turn black after a few seconds, leaving me with a problem: i need to install nvidia drivers in order to have X working, but I need to finish the installation with X .. What can I do about this? A reboot doesnt help, will take me to the graphical screen again. Regards, Ruud

shurtcut bug

I find it impossible to bind any keyboard shortcut to Volume mute, down & up. Have latest rawhide that I think today is the same as FC3rc3... I can't map this to anything in bugzilla.

k3b jumps ahead at a write speed of 3,980x in both fc3t3 and fc3rc3.
by Kim Lux 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

I've had the same problem in K3B in both fc3t3 and fc3rc3: I'm trying to burn a DVD with just 2 files: a 4.1 GB tar file and a 7.8MB tar file. I've burned about 4 other disks today and they all work fine. K3B starts setting up to write like it normally does. Then the overall progress bar jumps to about 75% and displays a ridiculous volume of data written. It appears that K3B resumes to normal writing after that. The disk finishes at a normal pace, but it is a coaster because the first 80% of the data didn't actually write. I've made 3 coasters today trying to write the same data: 2 in fc3t3 and 1 in fc3rc3. It acted the same way in both.

P4800 problem with "Disabling IRQ..." with kernel 2.6.xxxxx
by Rafael Salas 29 Oct '04

You can solve that by using only "P-ATA" at your bios in the enhanced HD config, and removins S-ATA. This help me to start the fedora kore 3 system again

Where is the kernel source
by Jan C. Brønd 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

Hello, I have installed the FC3-test3 along with the numerous updates (dang that took some time) The install has been quite easy and it works pretty stable on my system. But to include some additional kernel modules (unfortunatly ntfs, and modify some USB stuff) I wanted to find the kernel-source rpm but cant seem to find it. Looking at SRPMS the size of the kernelxxxx.src.rpm file seems right (comparing to 2.6.9 kernel on kernel.org) but trying to install it does not give anything usefull. I tried rpm -vv and even though it is around 40M only very few files is extracted. I did try download the kernel 2.6.9 from kernel.org but after compiling and trying to run it I recvie a kernel panik (I have the error somewhere at home....currently at work). What I did notice was that on entering kernel config (make xconfig) I recived a large amount of entries/flags that was unknown in the 2.6.9 kernel. Any suggestion what to do ? JCB
