Double touch mousepad to click left mouse button
Hello list I'm just installing Fedora 15 (never used this distribution) on my laptop but found that I can't click left button by double touching the mousepad... my doubt is, how should I configure it to do it as usual with my previous distro that was configured that way by default? Thanks!

Re: Double touch mousepad to click left mouse button
Hi It worked, but should I do it every time I start the X11? If so, where could I place the command to run automatically when starting the KDE? Thanks!

Problems with Fedora15 and sound INTEL 82801DB0ICH4
Hello I have just moved to Fedora 15 (used another distro before), but it appears that the sound control is managed by the Phonon... I don't know much about it except that tried it some time ago when compiled it as a module for KD4, and it did not recognize all my sound devices and some multimedia formats... If I open the KMix it does not show the devices, just a single (one) control for each input and output, no pcm mic etc. but I guess it is due the Phonon that does not support my chipset at all... My doubt is, if I install another mixer control software, would it work by accessing directly to the audio (kernel?) driver without causing conflict to the Phonon? And another multimedia related question, when trying AMAROK it told that there was no MPEG-1 plugin detected, but looking at the repositories can't find something like (using yum)... any idea of what may be wrong?

About the not recognized control, in my previous distro, with a OSS mixer (emulated on ALSA) there is a iGain control that should be incremented to 75-100% when I used the microphone, no matter if the MIC control is 100%, if iGain is on 0% nobody was able to listen my voice and Kmix had no such control. I thought it would be the same audio problem with Fedora, but tested yesterday with Skype (pulseaudio was still enabled) and here it worked, but it was very difficult to control the audio levels with pulseaudio, I hope that with the alsa controls it will keep working, I mean the microphone...

Creating partitions
Hello I've installed Fedora 15 to try the distro, it was a bit difficult at first (I have used Slackware for the last 8 years) but I'm beginning to become familiar with Fedora usage, although I have a few doubts about the partitions. For years I used to create 2 primary partitions, SWAP and EXT3, but now I found that Fedora requires a different layout with more partitions like other *nix operating systems that distribute the space in more areas for home, root, usr, etc. I would like to keep simple my disk, and reading the Fedora installation guide found that there are only 3 partitions required, SWAP, BOOT (ext3) and ROOT / (ext3)... I still don't like the idea of an independent boot partition but let's do it in the Fedora way... so, I want to know if this layout may work for me... I want to ask before doing it to save hours of installation just to try and see the results... #1 PRIMARY type 0c (Win95 Fat32 LBA) #2 EXTENDED A - SWAP type 82 B - BOOT /boot type 83 (linux ext3) C - ROOT / type 83 (linux ext3) And one additional doubt... Fedora worked fine on this laptop but just bought a new one, it comes with Windows7 preinstalled and want to keep the original system backed up... Do you think it is safe to use Clonezilla for any modern hard disk? My doubt is because I have a relatively old IDE disk (80Gb) that after restoring a Clonezilla backup it does not boot anymore, I guess it is due a possible different geometry interpretation by my installed linux and the Clonezilla bootable linux, since the disk is ok and works always perfect... So, do you think it would be a good idea to backup Win7 on a SATA 500Gb disk, no datafiles yet, just the operating system, I want to keep it for the license... And, after the backup, during the Fedora installation, it asks how to use the hard disk, there is an option to shrink a used partition, but would it work with Win7? As far as I know a NTFS partition can not be shrinked... is it possible? can you comment something about this?

Fedora 64 bits
Hello friends I just bought a notebook that comes with Win7 64bits, am going to replace the system with linux but I have some doubts... Currently am downloading Fedora 16 (tried Fedora 15 in my old laptop but prefer the latest fresh version) 64bit version, but can't remember where I read that the 64bit linux system sometimes has incompatibility problems with some drivers and applications and recommended to use the 32bits... Is it true? It has an AMD E-350 dual core processor... Anyway will try this one but want to know if there's something I should be aware of... I can still get the 32bit version in case of troubles...

Hi Thanks, I will try again after it finishes the current internet installation and backup it with clonezilla just to know, if does not work just will restore the bk... Thanks!

Re: Installing Fedora 16 from USB
It is 8Gb, the iso 3.5Gb, it should be not the problem... it boots but after boot it relases the usb image and continues installation from internet :-/ Take care On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 1:50 PM, Miguel Cardenas wrote: > Hi > > Thanks, I will try again after it finishes the current internet > installation and backup it with clonezilla just to know, if does not work > just will restore the bk... > > Thanks! > > > On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 1:34 PM, mike cloaked wrote: > >> On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 6:44 PM, Miguel Cardenas >> wrote: >> > Hello >> > >> > I've download Fedora 16 to install in onto my new notebook that comes >> with >> > no dvd drive... so I used liveusb to create a bootable USB with the >> ISO... >> > It starts the installation but then it says it does not detect a DVD >> drive >> > and it starts to install slowly via internet, so what is the case of >> > generate the USB with the installation disk?

Touchpad right button same as left button
Hello I've just installed Fedora 16 on my new notebook but have a problem with the touchpad buttons... First, the right button acts the same as the left button, and if I press both buttons it equals to right button... and, what if I want to emulate 3 buttons? It works fine with my old laptop, but the new one not... how can I fix the buttons? The tapping on the touchpad is working, I used the same trick as in the old laptop, both use synaptics... And second... my new mini notebook has the buttons inside of the touchpad area, I mean that if you touch the buttons (not click) it moves the mouse pointer... it acts the same in windows, except that in windows I can press the left button with one finger and move the pointer with another finger to select text for example... with fedora if I keep pressed the button (also senses as moving the pointer although do not move my finger) and try to move the pointer with another finger, but the pointer becomes crazy since the system "thinks" that I am moving with both fingers in different directions :S How can I fix that?

ATI Catalyst on Fedora 16
Hello I\m trying to install ATI Catalyst driver in my Fedora 16, based on this guide http://drivers.downloadatoz.com/tutorial/28193,how-to-install- but it does not work, after installation when I reboot it stalls when trying to start the graphic mode... Reviewing the log /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log the installer says that it could not unload radeon module since it is on use, so I uninstalled the driver and tried to unload radeon but it was impossible because it is "in use"... Anybody knows of a procedure to make it work with Fedora *16* ? Currently I have a minimal installation backed up with clonezilla, so I can restore the backup to the previous stage before installing the driver to try different procedures.

URGENT: New Grub installation in graphic mode does not work
Hello Finally I decided to have both windows and linux on my notebook, first I installed Win7 in sda1/2 and linux in sda3(swap) and sda4 (ext4) The problem is that this time Fedora intalled Grub in graphic mode (don't know why) and it shows just garbage on the screen, just colored pixels... How can I fix it, or send it back to text console mode?
