Nvidia (proprietary) suspend resume issues
by Rodd Clarkson
Hey All,
I know that Fedora doesn't support the proprietary nvidia driver, but
since the single most important feature for me on my laptop is
suspend/resume support I'm left with little choice but to use it.
So, just a head up that I'm finding I can suspend and resume once at the
moment and the second attempt fails to resume, leaving my laptop needing
a reboot.
I've file a bug report at rpmfusion:
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595
If anyone has a similar issue, please contribute there. ;-]
regards
Rodd

One (more) week slip of Fedora 11 Release
by Jesse Keating
A late discovered and just potentially fixed anaconda storage bug[1] has
necessitated another week slip of our schedule. The change is important
but invasive enough to require re-validating our storage tests. We were
already late in producing the Release Candidate and there is not enough
time to produce another one and validate it in time for next Tuesday's
release date. Therefor we have decided to enact another week long slip
of the release. This gives us time to create a second release candidate
and fully validate it and hand it off to the mirrors in plenty of time
to sync up for the new release date of June 9th. As much as we regret
slipping, we also wish to avoid easily trigger-able bugs in our release,
particularly in software that cannot be fixed with a 0-day update.
At this time we would only accept tag requests for critical issues.

[WAAAAAY OT] can't build openembedded/angstrom on f11
by Robert P. J. Day
this is massively off-topic but i'm hoping someone's bored enough to
take a look. i have a beagleboard:
http://beagleboard.org
and am trying to build the angstrom OS for it. the build (using the
openembedded (OE) build utility) should be fairly straightforward but
trying this under my current 64-bit install of f11 preview fails each
time thusly:
... snip ...
ccache gcc
-isystem/home/rpjday/oe/angstrom-dev/staging/x86_64-linux/usr/include
-O2 -Wunused -Wall -static
-L/home/rpjday/oe/angstrom-dev/staging/x86_64-linux/usr/lib
-Wl,-rpath-link,/home/rpjday/oe/angstrom-dev/staging/x86_64-linux/usr/lib
-Wl,-rpath,/home/rpjday/oe/angstrom-dev/staging/x86_64-linux/usr/lib
-Wl,-O1 -o insmod.static insmod.o
mv -f .deps/tables.Tpo .deps/tables.Po
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [insmod.static] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
modinfo.c: In function 'main':
modinfo.c:338: warning: 'infosize' may be used uninitialized in this
function
mv -f .deps/modinfo.Tpo .deps/modinfo.Po
make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.
FATAL: oe_runmake failed
i've documented, step by step, what i did here:
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Angstrom#Building_Angstrom_from_...
and it's frustrating since others have reported normal success (some
running under fedora 8). i have no idea why i keep getting this error
-- maybe it's related to running 64-bit, i don't know. others are
building just fine under other distros as well, so i'm baffled.
thoughts? at this point, i'm really open to suggestions. if you've
never played with openembedded, here's your chance. :-)

Greasemonkey script unified and updated
by Matej Cepl
With the recent breakage of the Bugzappers Greasemonkey script (https://
fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Tools) by the upgrade of the bugzilla
bug page, I have taken the opportunity the clean up the thing. So,
a) there is now one and only Greasemonkey script for everybody, and it
resides directly in the triage repository on fedorahosted.org site
(http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=triage.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/
bugzillaBugTriage.user.js;hb=HEAD). Don't accept any substitutes!
b) There is no need for separate signature script; actually ANY other
Greasemonkey script I have ever done for the Red Hat bugzilla (and there
were few) is subsumed in the current one, and before installing the new
one all other should be uninstalled.
c) Any complaints or requests for enhancements of the scripts, or other
comments should be directed to me.

with atl1e driver: Corrupted MAC on input
by Gene Czarcinski
I believe I have detected a significant problem with the "atl1e" driver for
the Attansic Technology Corp. Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet
Controller (rev b0) when running Fedora 11 preview with the latest updates.
This controller is integrated on the ASUS M4A78 PRO motherboard.
Although my problem occurred when I was running scp, I believe that the
problem could also occur with other forms of data transfer and only show up
as corrupted data (files). Thus, I thought this email appropriate to warn
other users. My current "solution" is to install another NIC.
This problem has been reported:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503288
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13404
This is no "show stopper" but may be of concern to other users. I am posting
a separate copies of this email to the test and user mailing lists.

recently, "Failed to print document, Too many failed attempts"
by Robert P. J. Day
just recently, i'm having regular trouble printing PDF files thru
"evince", with evince complaining as above. i used to be able to
throw a 200-page PDF file at the printer but now, i have to do it in 8
and 16 page chunks at a time. and sometimes, even *that* doesn't
work.
is anyone else seeing this?

OT: Firefox 3.5beta "New Window" behaviour
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I suspect this has nothing to do with Fedora, but if you will indulge me
for a moment:
In FF N, for N < 3.5, I used to click on a URL in (say) a mail message,
and get a new browser window. However when I clicked on a URL from
within a browser window, I got a new tab. This was how I liked things to
work.
In FF 3.5beta this fine distinction seems to have been lost. The
preferences setting "open new window as tab" applies universally. Since
I keep my mailer and my browser on different desktops, this means that
every click from the mailer switches desktops, whereas previously I
would just get a new browser window on the *same* desktop.
If anyone knows a magic setting to fix this, I'm all ears. Otherwise I
guess I'll report it upstream.

every so often, screen just goes black
by wildman
Maybe this will help...
Has anyone considered if the video is trying to switch between DVI and
Analog.
That seems to be what mine is doing. Two machines both Intel MB one with
nvidia and one with ati
video adapters, both with dvi/al connections, both monitors are also
dvi/al .
I caught it by chance doing this when it went blank for a couple minutes
giving me time to switch it
manually using the buttons provided on the monitor. When the dvi was
off, the al was on,
and when the al went blank the dvi was back on.
Once I do the manual switch it settles down and dosen't repeat for a
long time..
Haven't found the cause as yet, but I'm digging...(in way over my head too)
