There will be another Fedora Community Gaming session this weekend. We will be playing bzflag which is a light tank shoot em up. We will be starting at: UTC: 1700 Saturday June 5, 2010 EDT: 1pm Saturday June 5, 2010 This game easily handles drop ins and drop outs. We'll meet pregame in the #fedora-games IRC channel. We'll use the in-game chat once we get started and I'll have Fedora Talk set up for those that want to use that in addition. (It's hard to chat while playing without getting killed.) New players will definitely are welcome. I can help a little, but still haven't played a lot myself. A bit more information is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_Gaming#Upcoming_game_sessions

Who sees massive flickering?

by Tom Horsley

Just curious if this is a bug or what. On two different systems now running fedora 13 and firefox the webcam image on this one site flickers horribly as I scroll the firefox page up and down with the mouse. (Both systems use the radeon driver with ATI cards). http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/fla/ballpark/webcam.jsp Pick Interior Panorama view. Wait for image to load. Use scroll wheel on mouse to drag the firefox page up and down. I can't figure out what it is about that page. I've visited lots of other sites without noticing the same kind of flickering of images. Anyone else see the horrible flickering on this page? Anyone using radeon driver that doesn't flicker? (I'm pretty sure this is new with the move to fedora 13, I don't think I saw it on fedora 12 - not that bad anyway).

Correct instructions for installing NVidia proprietary driver on Fedora 13?

by Steven P. Ulrick

Hello Everyone, If the output of "/sbin/lspci | grep VGA" is: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1) are the correct instructions for installing the proprietary NVidia driver still located here: http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/nvidia-yum-kmod I have tried the above referenced instructions a couple of times, with the same, bad results... I am now going to try again, paying special attention to the "Troubleshooting" section... With this exact system, I have been so used to everything working (up until I installed Fedora 13) that I have never even had to look at the troubleshooting steps for these instructions before. I will get back to you with whatever happens. Steven P. Ulrick

FC13 and kqemu again

Hello all, I have found part of my kqemu problem: open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support This may be related to the following boot messages: arting udev: udevd[457]: NAME="%k" is superfluous and breaks kernel supplied names, please remove it from /etc/udev/rules.d/60-kqemu.rules:1 udevd[457]: BUS= will be removed in a future udev version, please use SUBSYSTEM= to match the event device, or SUBSYSTEMS= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/85-pcscd_egate.rules:3 udevd[457]: SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/85-pcscd_egate.rules:3 udevd[457]: BUS= will be removed in a future udev version, please use SUBSYSTEM= to match the event device, or SUBSYSTEMS= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/85-pcscd_egate.rules:5 Maybe my kqemu is out of date.

Problems with SELinux and cronjobs

by Gijs

Hello List, I'm trying to get my cronjobs to work but after reading all kinds of info on SELinux, I'm not even one step closer to solving the problem. I have the following in my cronlog (yes, SELinux is set in permissive mode, for now..): May 28 09:15:01 mail crond[21390]: CRON (*system*) ERROR:Could not set exec context to user_u:system_r:unconfined_t for user, but SELinux in permissive mode, continuing May 28 09:15:01 mail crond[21391]: (root) CMD (/somescript.sh) May 28 09:16:01 mail crond[21395]: CRON (root) ERROR:Could not set exec context to root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh for user, but SELinux in permissive mode, continuing May 28 09:16:01 mail crond[21396]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/php /somephpfile.php > /dev/null 2>&1) Since the cronjobs run every 15 minutes, I get tons of these messages. The first errormessage is from my systemwide cron, and the other is from a cronjob that is set with "crontab -e". [root@mail ~]# ls -laZ /somescript.sh -rwxr-xr-x root root root:object_r:user_home_t:s0 /somescript.sh [root@mail ~]# ls -laZ /somephpfile.php -rwxr-xr-x someuser somegroup root:object_r:user_home_t:s0 /somephpfile.php I have absolutely no idea what to do to solve this. I have no idea what a "exec context" is for that matter, nor can I find any understandable information on that subject. Hope someone can help me with this. Regards, Gijs

Why are the _nightly_ builds build once in a ... week???

by Joshua C.

Under http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ are supposed to be the nightly-builds of the "latest" code. However, a quick look at the logs shows that those are build once in a week or even not that "often". Can someone explain why? It's just a signle script to be run. I really cannot understand where the problem is to build every night the isos?

FC13 infofeed RSS coming?

by Bill Davidsen

I normally follow updates to official releases on the infofeed RSS, since it tells me not only what was changed but for new apps, what the app does. Hopefully now there will be one for FC13 as well. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Installing F13

by Michael Miles

I would like to install F13 x64 I have seen the size difference in the partitions. Question: Do I have to reformat my F12 installation or will upgrade resize the boot partition? I did not select a seperate Home partition when I installed F12. I realize now I should have.

preupgrade 12-13 and not enough disk space for /var/cache

by Anne Possoz

Hello, My / partition, that contains /var, has only 800 MB available and I will certainly need more. I have plenty of space in another partition and would like to use that one for downloading rpm's tu upgrade from fedora 12 to 13. As preupgrade.cli accept -c yum-xxx.conf, I tried that option including cachedir=/my/var.cache.yum but it didn't work as I got "not enough space..." (Pleaso note that the size of my /boot is already 500 MB). Question : What is the recommended solution to use a filesystem outside of /var for preupgrade and then upgrade? I goggled a lot and only found this closed bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505602 Anne

Dear all, I would install the intel Fortran compiler of l_cprof_p_11.1.072.tgz on my Fedora Core 12.
