Receding Desktop: fc6t3 86x64 on MSI p965 neo
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

Both text and normal graphic install fail to complete "Loading ata_piix driver" System has four SATA drives and an IDE DVD writer. FWIW I haven't found a Linux that can deal with the way MSI hacked the IDE bus. XP and Vista32 load without problems but CDROM runs very slowly in XP. I will take the box back to the dealer for a motherboard swap or something. Nothing in the BIOS settings makes it better. -- Chuck Forsberg caf(a)omen.com www.omen.com 503-614-0430 Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 FAX 629-0665

Latest update to Fc6 test3 causes screen lockup
by Arch Willingham 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

I have a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop that I have been running via FC5, then Fc6 test2 and FC6 test3 . It works fine, at least until yesterday. I did a bunch of YUMEX updates yesterday and later rebooted. The start up process all goes fine. It goes from character based to GUI, keeps going through different parts of the boot. The screen sort of changes to blue where it is supposed to go to the log-on screen and the whole thing freezes with a funky 1" x 1" block of white squiggles in the middle.I tried hitting 'ctrl-alt-F1' etc, it does not react to that. The computer keeps running because I can pull the wireless card out and the drive light starts blinking. If, when it boots, I go to the grub process and get rid of "rhgb quiet" and change the line to say: "kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2689.fc6 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00" it will boot just fine. Any ideas? Thanks! Arch

FC6T3 installation questions (Konqueror menus)
by Kwan Lowe 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

Hello all: I've been trying out FC6T3 on a VMWare partition on an Intel Core 2 Duo. Installation was unenventful except for a glitch with the IPV6 configuration (existing bug). It *feels* quicker overall and almost everything "just worked". One minor thing that didn't: fluxbox didn't install properly via yum. It was choking on pyxdg and artwiz-aleczapka-fonts packages which I installed manually from the development repository. One nit in reqards to a KDE app... In Konqueror, it seems that the width of the menus keeps on growing with each iteration. For example, click on the "View" or "Settings" menu entry and you have to move the pointer a couple inches of screen space to get to sub-menus. With a trackpad this becomes annoying becomes you tend to touch the entries above or below and this dismisses the submenu. Is it possible to edit the menus so the text (and thus the menu width) is not so wide? -- * The Digital Hermit http://www.digitalhermit.com * Unix and Linux Solutions kwan(a)digitalhermit.com

Xorg errors related to out of range
by Jim Cornette 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

I recently attempted to upgrade to FC6T3 on a Dell Computer with an active Matrox video card as primary and with a secondary Nvidia video card. The Graphical install failed due to the monitor being severely out of range. I then installed FC6T3 via the script due to some multimedia packages which I'd rather keep intact. The problem is with the installed version of X in rawhide now. This version puts the monitor out of range when switching from the top resolution to any of the lower resolutions. I first noticed the out of range with the monitor problem when I launched the game viruskiller. This game would put the monitor out of range with the FC5 version of xorg.conf which was generated by system-config-display. I then ran system-config-display --reconfig to try to get a brand new configuration that might work better for the changes in X. s-c-display failed to recognize my monitor type which it recognized when ran in FC5. So I decided to run X -configure which recognized both video cards, detected the correct monitor, but still has the out of range errors. The out of reange errors are on the high side and the values are different with each failure. They mostly range in the high 90s to low 100s for both the vertical and horizontal failures. Also, s-c-display only makes the screen resolution top out at 800x600 with 256 colors. The xorg.conf from running X -configure works at 1152x864 and allows lower resolution choices, though they cause the OOR error. Bug report filed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207804 What changes to X causes this behavior? Are the changes being reverted or are the effects being remidied by forward changes?

network-scripts/init.ipv6-global segfaults at startup/shutdown
by Leon Stringer 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Hi, After the latest update I the init.ipv6-global script hangs for a long time (1 - 2 mins?) and then segfaults. This occurs at startup and shutdown. I have two NICs only one of which is enabled. system-config-network shows IPv6 is not running on this interface. At startup I get: /etc/rc5.d/S10network: line 54: 1519 Segmentation fault /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/init.ipv6-global start pre /etc/rc5.d/S10network: line 54: 1519 Segmentation fault /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/init.ipv6-global start pre I didn't see this on the list, is anyone else getting this? Leon...

acroread not working in FC6TEST3
by David Bentley 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Just got round to testing some 3rd party software with FC6TEST3 and have found a problem with Adobe Acrobat reader. It installs all OK but nothing happens when launched by clicking on a document or launching it from its menu icon. When I checked if it was actually running it appeared to be so I killed it and launched it from a terminal window (acroread) and after a short delay you get the following scrolling down the screen expr: syntax error | expr: syntax error I am just about to start debuging the file that launches acroread. /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread but can't so far spot where the error message is coming from. Any idea why it isn't working would be great help.

Should i just wait til fc6t4??
by sean darcy 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

I've been unsuccessful in installing t3 from dvd on a standard intel x86-64 chipset box. I think the problem is that I have one partition ( not root ) that's lvm. I asssume this will all be fixed for t4. Has anybody figured out how to install before then? sean
