Gnome3 and Cursor Movements
by Gregory P. Ennis
I have finally got F15 installed after great tribulation with the 'Oh
No' messages. Now that I have it installed, I find gnome3 difficult to
use because of the time delay of the highlight bars that allow you to
select programs. Even when I try to pick "Applications" it takes about
6 seconds to highlight. Is this a limit of gnome3 working on a slower
machine or has anyone else had this problem?

automatic internet connection & connection to printers on network & cannot locate network manager
by Nermin Celik
Hello,
Fedora version: 14
Computer is connected to a network.
Issues:
1. need to activate internet connection manually after log-on. I'd like this
to be done automatically when computer starts.
2. cannot print, printers available on the network are not seen.
Troubleshooting:
1. User guide F14 page 26-27, section '7.2. The Network Manager window' .
*Connect automatically : If checked, Network Manager will activate this
connection when its
network resources are available. If unchecked, the connection must be
manually activated by you.
*
hmm...cannot locate the network manager....
Sorry for the trouble...
Regards,
Nermin

Booting with two (2 ) device graphic adapters.
by Paulo
Hello All.
I have a singular problem booting Fedora, and is an interisting problem.
I have a Dell Notebook XPS-15z ( i7-2620M - 8GB RAM ).
It has two (2) device graphic adapters.
-- 1) Intel HD Graphics 3000 (integrated).
-- 2) NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M 3D-Vision.
OK .. Lets go to the problem...
During Booting Process the video drivers Nouveau or Vesa, depending on boot
option, can`t identify that there are 2 graphic adapters,
or they can`t allocate one of them to use,
and then the booting process is halted with a white screen.
There are some kind of Kernel parameters to specify to the video driver that
it must allocate only one device graphic adapter
on machines with two graphic adapters ????????
Interesting problem...
Thanks all.

which process display a given window?
by Franta Hanzlík
A few moments ago on my F15 desktop appeared window with title
"Authentication" and two user-fillable fields within, "Name" and
"Password". Nothing else.
At this moment I not expect from none of cca 15-20 running apps this
question window, nor from several running applets (thus, probably
some crackers want access to my credit cards ;)
How generally I can state which process display it?
I would expect, when right-clicking on window top title bar, some
item as e.g. "window properties" - where would be possible find info
about process displaying this window. But there isn't nothing of the
kind. Thus, is there other way discovering this?
I forgot mention, I'm now in F15 using XFCE (but IMO in Gnome window
manager has not capability too).
Thanks, Franta Hanzlik

NFS shared directory permission (rhel6)
by Jatin K
Dear all
what should be the permission of NFS shared directory on RHEL6 ???
I've shared a directory on rhel 6 ...following are the configuration done
created a directory /office
--/etc/exports----
/office *.officebox.local(rw,sync)
---ls -ld /office
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Aug 1 13:44 /office
problem :- all the clients in officebox.local can mount the nfs shared
directory on localsystem but it always mounted as read-only ...even
though /etc/exports configured with read and write
I'm able to solve this problem by changing permission and set it to 777
..... but this is not desirable
is it compulsory to set permission to 777 ... what is the batter
solution ?????

xbmc "Unit akmods.service entered failed state."
by oleksandr korneta
Greetings,
While playing with xbmc on F15 x86_64 my computer completely freezes
after several minutes. There is no reaction to keyboard or mouse events,
I can't even connect trough SSH, only hard reset helps.
After reboot the last thing I see in /var/log/messages from the previous
session is either
systemd[1]: akmods.service: control process exited, code=exited status=128
systemd[1]: Unit akmods.service entered failed state.
or simpy
systemd[1]: Unit akmods.service entered failed state.
The case is very repeatable, Sometimes I survive for longer than 15
minutes, but mostly this happens within several minutes. There is no
particular action that leads to this, sometime the computer freezes
while idling. I have never had anything like that happening with any
other software, and I run lots of various stuff.
Can anyone suggest where do I complain? The xbmc is installed from
rpmfusion, so is akmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs. How do I
diagnose this somewhat further to be able to submit more info to devs?

I'm running F14 and F15 x86_64, should this matter.

hsqldb missing hsqldb.jar
by Javier Perez
Hi
I just upgrade my machine to FC15 from FC14.
Hsqldb is not working properly.
/var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar links to a non existing link
[root@pepewin lib]# ls -al /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 1 02:19 /var/lib/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar ->
hsqldb.jar
The hsqldb.jar on the far right is a blinking red icon (meaning a missing
link target)
I DO have a hsqldb.jar file on /usr/share/java/hsqldb.jar
Should I target this file for the missing link?
I reinstalled the hsqldb 1.8.1.3-3.fc15 and still got the same error

Rdesktop - Machine hanging problem
by Rajender.M
Hello All,
I installed Fedora core15 in our host machine which contains the rdesktop version1.6.0
When i try to connect to the remote machine using rdesktop the machine hangs and we need to do a hard reboot every time. We tried to install the same version in another machine and same thing happened in that machine too.
Since rdesktop is a normal user space application; such "cannot" hang the machine. So most likely the problem is with the Fedora15 os as with the Xorg server or may be any other reason.
I dint find any body reporting the same problem in the web and i need to resolve this issue. So please can any one help me in this regard.
Regards,
Rajender
