Fedora 12 does not work after replacing the motherboard
by Andrew Junev
Hello All,
I kindly ask for your support. On my MythTV frontend-only machine, I
had to replace the motherboard. The old motherboard was an ASUS P5KR
(Intel P35 chipset), and the newly installed motherboard is an MSI
P43T-C51 (Intel P43 chipset). The old MB wasn't faulty - I just had
to urgently use it in another machine.
Everything else in this system remained basically the same - CPU,
RAM, Video, etc. My video adapter is NVidia 8600GT made by ASUS (don't
remember the model exactly). I am using proprietary NVidia driver from
rpmfusion.
With the new MSI MB, the system just stops responding when trying to
boot into graphical mode (runlevel 5), and there seem to be no errors
in /var/log/messages, dmesg or in Xorg.log.
If booted in runlevel 3 (text mode), the system seem to work, but
there are several kernel oopses coming right after boot:

If I do an 'init 5' while I'm in runlevel 3, I can see Xorg starting
and occupying all of the CPU resources (so that my PC doesn't respond
to keyboard at all, and remote SSH sessions are also interrupted).
Again, I don't see any obvious error messages in the logs when the
system stops responding...
I made a 'yum update', getting all the packages up to date. It didn't
change the behavior at all...
I thought I could reinstall the system completely, but Fedora 12
install DVD also stops responding shortly after the "Check
installation media" step - before actually starting the installation.
At the same time, Fedora 12 Live CD boots up fine (in Gnome) but stops
responding after a few minutes.
I thought this could be a hardware issue. I checked the RAM with
memtest (well, 2 passes went without errors, then I interrupted it).
Then I installed Windows XP - to test if it will fail. XP worked good,
I installed all the drivers and noticed no stability problems at all.
So this looks more like a software incompatibility to me, rather than
a hardware issue (still, I'm not 100% sure)...
Unfortunately my knowledge of Linux isn't any good to be able to
track the problem. Could you please help me to investigate it further?
I can run any tests / provide logs, dumps, etc. Just need to know
where to go and how to look for a solution...
Thanks!
Here are some details for now:

kwin focus
by Chris Rouch
I'm having real problems getting kwin to focus as i want it. Can
somebody explain the difference between:
focus follows mouse
focus under mouse
focus strictly under mouse
and what the various focus stealing prevention levels actually do?
what i'm trying to achieve is that any new windows on the current
desktop should be at the top of the stack, but only receive focus if
they're under the mouse. for windows which appear on a different
desktop, i want them at the top of the stack on that desktop, but i
don't want the desktop to change. i'm sure this must be possible, but
i've yet to find the combination which will do this.
Any help will be appreciated. Pointers to documentation will also be welcome.
Thanks and regards.

I have F12 on this laptop HP Nx5000. The battery capacity is about 3

Thank you Rodolfo and all others who commented.
That RAM deficit is apparently the root of the
problem.
On the advice of others I am going to try Ubuntu
next. I hope that works.
I'm still reading through all the responses I got.

Using f13 rpms in f12?
by mike cloaked
If one wanted to install a rawhide kernel in a running f12 machine I guess
you could do something like
yum --enablerepo development install kernel kernel-devel etc
However there are now rpms in the development directories both for 13/ and
for rawhide/ (and i386 and x86_64) - is there a way to install an f13
(specifically), as opposed to rawhide, package in a system running f12?
Thanks

Mystified by crontab/anacrontab
by Timothy Murphy
I'm trying to understand how cron works nowadays.
I've been comparing my Fedora-12 laptop
with my CentOS-5.4 desktop,
and am slightly baffled by the difference between them.
On the Fedora-12 system the venerable /etc/crontab is empty,
and the work to be done is listed in /etc/anacrontab .
As far as I can make out, there is a program /etc/cron.d/0hourly
which every hour runs /etc/cron.hourly,
which in turn runs a program 0anacron,
which presumably checks /etc/anacron.daily, etc.
I take it this roundabout process is intended
to deal with the case where a laptop is only running
for part of the time?
In any case, the system seems to work well enough.
The programs that run are listed in /var/log/cron .
On my CentOS desktop, both /etc/crontab and /etc/anacrontab
list cron.daily, cron.weekly and cron.monthly ,
and crontab also lists cron.hourly .
But I see nothing in /etc/cron.d to run anacron ,
so it is not clear to me if /etc/anacrontab plays any role.
Also I get no messages in /var/log/cron to say
what individual programs are run hourly, daily, etc.
I'm just told eg
---------------------------------------
Jan 31 04:22:01 helen crond[27497]:
(root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.weekly)
Jan 31 04:22:01 helen anacron[27501]:
Updated timestamp for job `cron.weekly' to 2010-01-31
---------------------------------------
Since the second message is from anacron,
I assume that crond has started anacron running,
although if that is so it is not mentioned in "man crond".
Also the individual scripts/programs that are run
are not listed in /var/log/cron ,
although I think that may just be an oddity or omission
on the part of CentOS, which does not run "logger" in run-parts
as Fedora does
I see that /usr/bin/run-parts does include
---------------------------------------
$i 2>&1 | awk -v "progname=$i" \
'progname {
print progname ":\n"
progname="";
}
{ print; }'
---------------------------------------
but I'm not sure what happens to material like this
which would appear on the screen if the program were run directly?
Any enlightenment gratefully received.

Thank you for the suggestion. Actually, I was able to restore
the original functionality using the Spinrite program from grc.com
to get the disk errors out and then used dd to copy the raw LVM2 partition.
In cases where you are not using and not likely to use the neat
features of LVM, a simple partition is easier to work with.
It's just when I copied the internal ext3 file system in the
LVM Volgroup to a simple partition, I could not get it to boot.
Even after updating the grub device map, the grub.conf, the /etc/fstab,
and even the /etc/mtab, it would complain that it could not find
the volgroup and panic the kernel.
There must be some other control file I have not yet found which
would allow me to get the system to boot as a simple partition.

Hulu.com and 64-bit Problem?
by Patrick Bartek
A curious incompatibility, it seems, between Hulu.com and 64-bit libflashplayer.so plugin has recently reared its ugly head: streaming video won't play or Hulu won't stream them for whatever reason. Also, any other streaming sight that gets some of their content from Hulu like Fancast.com or SlashControl.com has the same problem with those Hulu videos. Those TV shows, movies, clips, etc. that don't come through Hulu work fine.
When it fails, Hulu reports that there may be a problem with my network. (There's not.) Reloading the page, sometimes gets the sound of the lead-in ("This program brought you by . . .") only, but no video. Up until two weeks ago or so, everything worked without problems.
I first thought it might be a update problem with my Fedora 12 64-bit system, but whether I use the most current version of the plugin or an earlier one on Firefox or Opera, the results are the same. However, if I use 32-bit Linux--doesn't matter which distro, it seems--the videos stream just fine. I've tested this with Fedora 12, Puppy 4.3.1, and Vector 6.0 (all 32-bit) running in VirtualBox 3.0 (not the OSE version) on my 64-bit F12 system, and in PCLinuxOS 2009.1 and Puppy 4.3.1 in VB 2.something OSE on Fedora 9 64-bit, both on the same hardware, and all work just fine as long as the version of libflashplayer is later than 10.0 R15.
The Fedora 9 system running natively has the problem, too. Even though it worked fine previously. It is also fully up to date as of July 2009 when support on it ceased.
Anyone have any ideas of the cause? And how to correct it? Or whether this is a 64-bit problem or Hulu or Adobe one?
Also, anyone running F12 64-bit with 32-bit Firefox with the 32-bit flash plugin who could do a test stream, and tell me the results?
Of course, Windows Vista & XP SP3--both 32-bit--work fine.
Thanks.
