Ace Aspire One And New Broadcom Drivers
I just got an Acer Aspire One and threw Fedora 15 Alpha on it. This is a good thing as, according to linuxwireless.org/en/users/drivers/brcm80211 says that my wifi chip is in the 2.6.38 kernel. That page tells me to d/l some firmware files to a specific directory. I went there and those files are already there. But I don't have any wireless configured. The system only sees em1 and lo if I do an iwconfig and em1 is the ethernet. lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4727] (rev 01) Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:0510] so the system can see the hardware. Why is it not loading? Is there another step I'm missing?

re: Acer Aspire One and New Broadcom Drivers
I'm not sure what happened, but I got some weird bounce message. So, apologies if things worked correctly.

Did you just manually find the dependency you really needed or did a yum update fix it? Also, did you report the bug? Thanks!

kde desktop suddenly acting really slow but programs run at normal speed
Running KDE 4.6.x on Fedora 15. All of a sudden everything having to do with the desktop is super slow. The plasmoids keep freezing up. clicking on the launcher takes forever for something to actually appear. If I reboot, KDE desktop is just black for a while. But it's not my computer locking up because any programs I have running aren't slow. Nothing's really using up a lot of CPU. I only have two guesses. 1) somethings's up with my 3D graphics drivers - although I haven't done any package updates relating to the kernel or nvidia drivers I know glxgears isn't the best, most accurate way to test, but I get Code: 18143 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3628.446 FPS 20105 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4020.875 FPS glxinfo yields: Code: name of display: :0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation server glx version string: 1.4 server glx extensions: GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control, GLX_EXT_swap_control, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_ARB_create_context, GLX_ARB_create_context_profile, GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_NV_float_buffer, GLX_ARB_fbconfig_float, GLX_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation client glx version string: 1.4 client glx extensions: GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_NV_swap_group, GLX_NV_video_out, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_swap_control, GLX_EXT_swap_control, GLX_ARB_create_context, GLX_ARB_create_context_profile, GLX_NV_float_buffer, GLX_ARB_fbconfig_float, GLX_EXT_fbconfig_packed_float, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB, GLX_NV_present_video, GLX_NV_copy_image, GLX_NV_multisample_coverage, GLX_NV_video_capture, GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness GLX version: 1.4 GLX extensions: GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control, GLX_EXT_swap_control, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, GLX_ARB_create_context, GLX_ARB_create_context_profile, GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile, GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_NV_float_buffer, GLX_ARB_fbconfig_float, GLX_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB, GLX_ARB_get_proc_address OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 9500 GT/PCI/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 280.13 OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler it goes on and on, but I figured that was all that was important. Disabling desktop effects did not fix the situation. Not sure if that rules out graphics driver issues. Not sure if this proves that things are OK with the graphics or not, but Gnome 3 seems to run just fine. No slowness. Xfce seems to work just fine even with compositing turned on. The only issue appears to be with KDE 2) I did update some small amount of packages fftw or something and a couple others - seemed like no big deal. here's what I updated today: Oct 20 18:54:26 Updated: imsettings-libs-1.2.5-3.fc15.x86_64 Oct 20 18:54:27 Updated: imsettings-gnome-1.2.5-3.fc15.x86_64 Oct 20 18:54:29 Updated: imsettings-1.2.5-3.fc15.x86_64 Oct 20 18:54:30 Updated: imsettings-xfce-1.2.5-3.fc15.x86_64 Oct 20 18:54:31 Updated: fftw-libs-3.3-3.fc15.x86_64 Oct 20 18:54:32 Updated: ibus-rawcode-1.3.1.20100707-5.fc15.x86_64 Oct 20 18:54:46 Updated: 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-60.1.10.4.fc15.x86_64 Oct 20 18:54:49 Updated: perl-DateTime-TimeZone-1.40-1.fc15.noarch I feel like KDE is getting stuck on something perhaps - waiting for something to happen that's not happening. Or maybe something SELinux related? If it helps with the debugging - I have the last.fm plasmoid. It has a counter on it until the next update and I'll notice that it'll get stuck on a number for a while and then start counting again before gettting stuck again -- Eric Mesa http://www.ericsbinaryworld.com -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
gam_server freezing system
Ever since the last two kernels on Fedora 16 my gam_server goes to disk sleep. When that happens I can't use dolphin or any kde file dialogs. This doesn't happen with the 3.3 kernel. Also, when this happens I cannot su to root or reboot cleanly. The system gets stuck near the end of the shut off process. I looked through the archives, but there's nothing there about gam_server for the past 4 years. What might be going on? selinux? -- Eric Mesa http://about.me/ericmesa http://www.ericsbinaryworld.com -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
