I already run FC6 on my desktop, but want to make sure that I won't have any crazy stumbling blocks with putting it on my lappy.

Message-ID: Can someone nudge me in the right direction here? I want hald (I think) to recognize a new block device at /dev/mapper/luks_crypto_71c8e931-fedc-4162-8b44-643fee5cc79e and then mount the filesystem for me automatically. When I insert my USB thumbdrive, hald detects a VFAT filesystem at /dev/sda1 and mounts it for me. No problem there. /dev/sda2 is a LUKS partition. I'm prompted for my passphrase and I get a new block device under /dev/mapper/luks_crypto_71c8e931-fedc-4162-8b44-643fee5cc79e but I have to mount the filesystem by hand. I'd like that one to mount automatically like the first partition. Any ideas? Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I hope one of many Hardware: IBM T41 Laptop 1GB RAM Software: Fedora Core 6 fully updated via YUM Desktop: KDE The conversion from windows back to Linux was as painful as I remember. Most of the pain surrounds locating the appropriate codecs to make multimedia not suck on Linux, Wireless, 3D Graphics (a complete failure on this POS video card from ATI), and running those few Windows Apps which can not translate over to Linux (thank God for VMWare). I have a few outstanding issues which I have need of assistance on to make my transition from the dark-side back to the light workable. Any guidance would be a great help. My goal with this thread is to open the conversation and as I / others find resolution to update this thread. 1) Wireless. You can go into the interface for KDE Control Center. Setup wireless profiles (one for home, work, hotel "open", etc...) but they NEVER seem to activate. I then tried basic use of "system-configure-network" and setting the SSID / key in that interface... still not working. I loaded wifi-radar which is a nice interface but again ... I can add profiles but non seem to "activate" but when I reboot into windows all my wireless works fine. I know that wireless works because if the wireless access point is wide open I can connect and get an IP and everything is fine. 2) It has been happening more often now and is becoming an issue where I attach to a Wired LAN and for some reason I get the IP address, DNS, from the DHCP server (yes they are Windows DHCP servers) but it never builds a default route. I have VMWare installed so I shut that off in lue of some of the virtual LANs I have created being the cause but no change. I reboot in Windows (or use Windows bridged in a VM) and it works fine. I can manually add the route IF I happen to be able to discover the default gateway. Nothing shows in /var/log/messages 3) Auto Login does not work. I am lazy. I like to have it automatically login for me. The KDE Control Center is broken and so is the "help" button which it notes that one "must read". 4) Within KDE control panel their are "default applications" which you can set. Firefox for browser, Evolution for mail. BUT you can not change the default chat to GAIM which. 5) I use two monitors at the office. I span desktops and this works fine for 90% of the time BUT if I suspend my laptop to go home I have to close all my applications to get them to move 'off' my non-existent second monitor, and then logout of the session to get them to stop spanning. I hope their is a quick way to fix this to simply (like windows) attach or detach a monitor. 6) Of all the multimedia programs and extensions / types out their I can get all of them to work. My issue is with Flash / SWF based files. I added a firefox extension (mplayer will not play them)and they work, but they are DOG slow. 7) I have had people give me some old PCMCI Memory cards which I was hoping to use for playing with. For some reason Fedora Core can not see these cards and mount them. /var/log/messages says pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 but their is not any device noted to which it attached so I can mount it. I think this is an RTFM issue as to the new way devices are "made on the fly", but I need said Manual. 8) VOIP. I use VIOP at my work to attach to my Avaya phone system. I tried for about a week to get egika to work and have debugged it to be something where our server will not accept my password. The egika user list is rather non-responsive so I am looking for another app or someone who has cracked this nut. My IT staff here don't have any vested interest in helping me... so they don't. Again, thanks for all the help and I will modify this thread as I acquire answers and solutions to my issues. ~penguinpages~ ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Message-ID: <20070419013746.7d8ce66a@STNhome> 3D acceleration does not work on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1501. It has ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 256Mb - although X server identifies it as ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M or Chipset ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5975 (PCIE) - didn't understand for sure. In X.log I see also: (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable Is it possible to run 3D acceleration on this laptop? Thanks for answers.
