When I insert a cd into my optical drive, it is not showing up on my file menu. In Rhythmbox, I used to get an icon for the cd which I could click on to play the cd but that doesn't come up any more. I have my File Management Preferences set to ask me what to do when I insert a cd but it no longer asks me what to do. Banshee is the only thing left that shows a cd icon. How do I get my file management system and other programs to recognize a cd when inserted?
I'm starting to think that samba is comprised of buggy applications and i'm basically hitting my head against a brick wall for the fun of it. Can anybody vouch for its reliability under fedora 13?
I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 that I dearly love; its operating system is Fedora 14 which I ALSO dearly love.I have been running Fedora on this Laptop since Fedora 10. And know it has Bluetooth; in fact, I know I've transfferred files from my laptop to my phone (and vice versa) before. However. It does not seem to work right now. When I go into the gnome-Bluetooth app, it just sits there ominously saying "No Bluetooth Adapters Present" I'd very much like to get bluetooth up and running, but I'm not sure what's wrong.
I just noticed that USB devices aren't being detected by kde when i plug them in. they work fine in gnome and the kernel detects them properly (seen via dmesg) but they're not being seen in kde.
I have Fedora 12 installed and fully updated. For some reason my printer is not detected by the system. The printer is an HP932C Deskjet connected via parallel port, vanilla stuff.
Other current distros (openSUSE, Ubuntu, Scientific Linux) are also installed and locate the printer with no problem.
Per the info listed on the "Common Fedora Bugs" page I installed the foomatic package. Also, ran yum update system-config-printer which reported this package was installed and up to date (system-config-printer-1.1.18-2.fc12 (i686)).
When I go to System -> Preferences -> Default Printer no printer is displayed in the window. Clicking on the Printer or Location buttons lists nothing.
Since i upgraded to F14 I have been having an annoying problem with compiz: I have twinview and an nvidia 8800GTS. Windows like transmission and pidgin that i put on my second monitor and then hide, have their position reset to the center left side of the screen on the absolute border of the first monitor. this is probably a problem with how compiz is detecting the outputs.
EDIT: Any windows that have their position saved to the second screen will be reset to hug the center left side of the screen.
SOLVED: I manually set the outputs in compiz and the selected use largest output first in Place Windows plugin.
have installed fedora 14 in my dell inspiron laptop and it is not detecting wi-fi of my college in fedora but in windows 7 it is detecting. how i can sort-out
I have a linux server, and use symbolic links a fair amount. I'm also merging some of my php code library to another location.
My question is, is there any way to get a list of symbolic links that point to a specific directory which I am going to be moving? that way I can manually go through them and re-point to the new location of the physical folder.
I have ditched Windows and am getting back to Linux after a couple years off the wagon. Unfortunately, my dual-monitor setup doesn't appear to be working. The secondary monitor/card doesn't appear to be recognized. I seem to remember this working automagically in a previous version of Fedora. I have been spending the last couple days trying to get this to work with no luck. The hardware consists of two PCI NVidia cards with an Acer LCD monitor plugged into each card's VGA port. One monitor is 4:3 (primary) and the other is 16:9 (secondary). If I plug the non-working monitor into the working VGA port, it comes up. I just can't get both to show at the same time. My guess is the secondary graphic card isn't being recognized. I have installed the NVidia drivers and that had no effect - other than adding their program to my System > Administration menu.
I've been running F10 with a four disk RAID5 setup that has been working fine, however when I tried to do a fresh install of F11 I can't get past the "Select Country" and "Select Keyboard" screen of the GUI as a message will say "Detecting Storage Devices" and then throw up an error. I can't give you the full error, because when I click Save The Detecting Storage Devices box appears and I can not select anything under it or enter my Bugzilla account.However, when I plug just the hard drive that has XP on it then the installer continues swimmingly.I've backed up everything, so if I have to I could zero out the drives however they're all rather large so it'd take an inordinate amount of time.
I am running federa 12 and just recently installed virtual Machine Manager. I've created Virtual machine and installed Windows XP on it. Everything is running OK, as far as I can see. I've installed software to manage and download pictures from Cannon camera, but I am not able to make USB port available to this Virtual machine. I tried to add hardware in VM, but not sure if I should go for STORAGE option, or PHYSICAL HOST DEVICE. I tried second option, and selected USB device. Now I've got UB hub available, but still cannot see anything attached to it (camera in my case, or USB stick with pictures).
My computer has 2 O.S.- WindowsXP and Fedora13, and also two 500GB Hard Disks. For HD1 Partition1 is NTFS, a few FAT partitions and last one is Fedora13. HD2 has 2 NTFS of equal size. Fedora13 always showed NTFS partitions on HD1 as 30GB HD, FAT partitions correctly and HD2 as a single 500GB HD with the contents of 1st partition of this HD i.e. contents of 2nd partition of HD2 were never shown in Fedora13. XP showed everything correctly. Recently XP is becoming hung on start up as 2nd HD is connected. But Fedora is showing as previousPl. suggest me the solution as I have a lot data on the 2nd partition of HD 2.
I'm using rhythmbox as my music manager of choice... but it's not detecting one of my MP3 players. Admittedly its a relatively unknown brand name. It picks up my creative zen mp3 player without issues. Is there anything else I can do to make it a little more compatible? I already have the "portable players" boxes checked in the configuration menu.
Also, when I try to transfer a song to the creative player, I get an error that says, "PTP Layer error 2002: LIBMTP_Send_Representative_Sample(): could not send sample data."
i am new to fedora i recently downloaded fedora 13 and created a live usb. when i run the live usb it doesnt detect wireless networks. Its not just fedora, its linux mint 8 ubuntu 10.01, puppy and pretty much ever other iso.when i use wireless on my laptop fedora detects it as eth0 .when i try to create a new connection nothing happens.
I have purchased HP Pavilion e9280jp/CT which has two 1.5TB (SATA 7200rpm) hard drives. But during installation Fedora 11 and 12 (beta) did not detect my second hard drive. It only showed one hard drive in the list. I used the Fedora Live CD and still it only showed one hard disk.
Then , I partitions my first hard disk as follows: [1TB - Windows (Primary) ][ 100Gb - Linux partion ][ Factory recovery Image] and installed Fedora 12 , and now giving me Grub errors. How can I force Fedora installer to detect my second hard disk?
I am using fedora 14 on lenovo laptops and android 1.6 I created a wireless network on my laptop with create a wireless network. But it was not detected by my android 1.6 phone. Same wireless network created on my MacbookPro is detected by the phone.
I downloading fedora 15 X64, when i want installing fedora in detecting hardware process, it is hanged! and not loaded but i easy install fedora 14. When some of process in fedora 15 loaded and show me please wait for detect hardware it is not work and like hanged.
On FC10, when system boots up, it would auto detect (from DHCP) and configure eth0.
This does not happen on FC11, but I can manually configure the interface. The entries in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 are identical on both OS releases.
Don't know if this is related, but when I run System->Administration->Bootloader, it fails system-config-boot - missing module kudzu.
moved to Fedora 11 but can't figure out how to get my wireless working. I have the broadcom driver installed and the Network Manager Applet shows the available wireless networks, but when I click on them they just don't connect.I get the following output on lspci regarding the wireless adapter:03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02)
Getting very frustrated trying to install F12 to my work PC. Its a dell precision 670 with a 3ware 9550sxu raid controller running raid 5. Its consistently crashing at the point when it says 'finding storage devices' with a message about : Mismatched Sizes. What I could try? I had no problem on this machine with fedora 11, so whats changed? Just for info by the way, theres two raid volumes on this system a 750Gb that contains my windows vista installation in a 500 Gb partition (NTFS) and the free space I'm using for fedora. The second volume is a 2TB data volume with a single data partition (NTFS).

And i tried this also ([SOLVED] Fedora 15 Wifi "firmware missing" HP mini 210-1000 ) from the forum itself but unfortunately its not working on this dell laptop
Since the install and original tweaking of F15 the os and pc have been operating flawlessly now for a couple months. Today I slid the Sandisk memory card from my camera in but there is no detection of the stick and no paths in the media link directory. I searched the forum but did not find any post specific to this issue.
Here comes my problem: I am installing a new unit with Fedora Core 5,I will use it as my internet server. I need one additional PCI network card but it is not detected during installation.what shall I do?
I experience this since kde 4, but it never really was that bad because once in a while on updating kde I also deleted the .kde folder in my home-folder and everything was fast again.
But I haven't done this for a while now and kde take really long to load. Is there any folder to clean up there without deleting the whole .kde-folder and loosing all my settings again?
I did: Code: yum remove sendmail and the next thing I know is that yum and rpm are no longer available. I still have wget and some C compilers, so, before I reinstall, does anybody know if it is possible to install rpm and/or yum in this situation? Fedora 11
I'm running fedora 13 but I'm having issues with the wireless connection, I can see all the networks in the area but when I try to connect it does not seem to accept the wep key.Its a Belkin receiver, could do with a little help as this is such a pain. I'm using a pc.---------- Post added at 05:24 AM GMT ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 AM GMT ----------This maybe some use but I don't know much about it.

I just installed Fedora 13 yesterday and now yum is no longer working. I get this message when I use it. Code: There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:No module named grabber.Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.
I've noticed the /dev/dsp no longer exists, well not on this machine.Running FC13 x86_64Listing devices from /proc there is "audio" and "alsa"Do I use mknod to create /de/dsp and link it to either "audio" or "alsa"
I was running fedora 9 on an HP pavilon and wanted to get my wirless card to work with b43, so i searched online for ways to to this and found the following: "Using the b43 driver If you need to use the b43 driver follow these steps to install the required firmware.
1. Download this file [URL]
2. Load up a terminal window if you are in the graphic interface.
3. Switch to the root user by entering the command "su -" (without the quotes) and typing in your root password
4. Extract the contents of the file you downloaded by typing the following: tar -xjvf /path/to/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 Replace the "path/to" section with the path to the file you downloaded.
5. We now need to use the b43-fwcutter tool. A standard Fedora installation already has this tool installed however if you don't have it type in the following: yum install b43-fwcutter
6. Now run the following:
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware kmod/wl_apsta.o The above assumes you are in the directory that you extracted the downloaded file to.
7. Now type in following following:
echo "modprobe b43" >> /etc/rc.modules" chmod 755 /etc/rc.modules"8. Reboot your system and hopefully you will have functioning wireless." the full page can be found here: [URL] i tried the above steps and was only able to get as far as step 6 as b43-fwcutter wouldent extract the file, so after a few tries i gave up and restarted my computer. when the computer restarted i would get the following message:
Fedora release 9 (sulphur) Kernel 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 on an i686 (tty1)
localhost login: however when i try to log in as root or any other user nothing happens, i type in the user name and do not recive a prompt for a pass, it then goes back to the above state. I do have data on the system and i wish to retrive it, so reformating is not realy an option.
