Not sure the process on F22 to enable it, but on my Centos-6 box (and I think C7, though I haven't just now verified this), on the SYSTEM / PREFERENCES / KEYBOARD menu, click the "layouts" tab, click the "Layout Options" button, and you'll get a long list of things you can control about how the keyboard works.

Now, I know your AMD processor includes a Radeon video unit, so you SHOULD be getting 3d accel. however, if you didn't install AMD/ATI's proprietary driver for it, you're probably depending on the open source driver instead, and I suppose it simply may not work very well with that particular chip. As I said, I have no direct experience, so I may be all wet here. Good luck!

Well, I downloaded the actual beta and I can re-create it, it's a matter of how one types things in, apparently, on the user creation screen. I've exercised this four or five times this evening, and it seems to always work as described below: When the user creation screen first appears, if I type my name in quickly, it appears as "derF Smith", then when I go on to enter a password, it repeatedly fails. Makes me wonder if whatever caused the reverse-ordering of the letters in my first name may not also be messing with what I type into the password fields. OTOH, if I wait a few seconds after the user creation appears, and type the first name slowly, all is well: the name is not reversed, and the password is accepted without complaint. weird, eh?

F21 TC-3 installation issue
I installed TC-3 in a VirtualBox VM (latest vbox release, 64-bit) t'other day. Mostly it went quite well with one really oddball exception. I don't know if it's a general problem (haven't seen other mentions of it) or not, but it's weird enough I thought to mention it here. When creating a user in Anaconda, I entered the password twice, as prompted, and it said they didn't match. so I did it again. and again. and again. It insisted they didn't match. tried the same thing for the root password and got the same result. So, I entered a one-character password, in both fields, and it did not say they didn't match. so I tried two chars. ok so far. by working my way up to the full password, one char at a time in both fields, it allowed me to get the whole thing in successfully. This worked for both my username and for root. Never seen any such thing before! If anyone wants me to, I can go try more installs and see if I can reproduce. If I CAN, what sorts of extra info would be helpful when i report it? thanks! -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - "And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

I dunno what rdd is, but if you're trying to create an image of a HD with read errors, I suggest ddrescue (not dd_rescue, two different programs.) I recently used it to recover two HDs with read errors, successfully.

It > always seems to happen when opening a new blank tab in FF. which reminds me of an issue I've been unable to diagnose, similar but not the same: viewing flash video from any site showing flash videos (youtube, cnn, etc.) using FF, it'll play along very nicely, but every 5-15 (or so) seconds, the video will pause for 1-3 seconds while the sound continues, then the video starts moving again. I recently noted that the right-click menu in the flash window contains an item something like "info for nerds", which shows among other things, dropped frames. so if I watch that window. whenever that pause occurs, as soon as the video resumes, that window shows a clump of dropped frames. I can't correlate the timing with anything else that's running. Not even the Folding At Home client, which I can stop and the pauses still occur. This is on a six-core AMD Vishera processor, which should have plenty of ponies under the hood for flash video, even when FAH is running. so far, I've not had another browser sopporting flash to test. But the time is coming when I'll get irritated enuff to go find one. -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, And my hope is in you all day long. -- Psalm 25:4-5 (NIV) -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

At one point I noticed that I wasn't running the latest kernel, even though I KNEW I had been installing all the updates. After some considerable head-banging, I discovered that one of the two drives had been ejected from the RAID pair, and for reasons I can't remember anymore, when kernel updates were happening, they were happening on the one remaining member of the (degraded) raid pair, but the system, was BOOTING from the OTHER member of the pair. Subsequently, I learned that root was getting the emails from mdraid about the degraded array, and he doesn't read his email very often. So, now they are sent directly to me so things like that won't happen anymore. An interesting learning experience, that was. -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. - Proverbs 15:3 (niv) - -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

It still happens in 3.9.5 . I'm going to dismiss this as > hardware failure. Sorry for the noise. I missed the earlier "episodes" in this thread, so I don't know what specific hardware was involved. however, let me throw a bit of "ground truth" (as they say in the remote sensing business) into the discussion: If we're talking about F19, my Logitech wireless/USB mouse hasn't exhibited that problem on my F19 netbook (Aspire One D255E netbook). I don't recall the mouse's model number, it isn't printed on the device *anywhere*, but it was being sold at BJ's a couple years ago for ten bucks (so I bought a couple of 'em.) FWIW. my $0.02. etc. but it reminds me of way back in the RH6 days (not RHEL 6) when I first got a USB mouse, it would work fine for days or weeks then all of a sudden quit working. through some cut and try I learned that if I did a rmmod and subsequent insmod of one of the *hci modules it would start working again. Never did find the cause, eventually as hardware and software underwent upgrades I ceased to encounter it. -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - "For the word of God is living and active.

F19/Mate, strange desktop problem.
All: While trying to work thru problem with my netbook not going to sleep when the lid is closed (in relation to some of the bugs discussed on this last in the last several days) I had cause to do a yum update that downloaded a pile of updates from the testing repo. ever since then, my desktop has no icons, and the right-click/context menu on the desktop does not work.
