Re: Dual screen video display problem
I have a similar problem. In previous Fedoras it was possible to select the monitor to be used during booting or display the booting screen in both monitors. It looks that the distro is becoming less flexible or much harder to configure. - Original Message - Hello, I have had a video display issue after an update a few months ago. I cannot post from work due to mail filters so I am posting from another account so responses will be slower. Fedora 18, 64bit, clean install using nvidia graphics with Nouveau using KDE. Both monitors are the same make and model. Purchased at the same time. Before the problem occurred, I would boot and get all messages on the left screen until the X server started. If the screen saver locked the screen, the unlock dialog box would be on the left screen (screen 0). I could run KDE with effects enabled. The first indication of a problem was the reboot after the kernel upgrade and error messages about the KDE desktop effects not being able to run. Due to work schedule, I couldn't deal with the problem before now. Now, when I boot, the left display shows the BIOS boot and then the displays enter mirror mode. When the X server kicks in and KDE starts, the display goes to side by side as expected. The desktop works as side by side when I can drag windows between the monitors and virtual desktops as expected, just slower. I cannot run any of the KDE desktop effects. When the screen saver kicks in, it is a different screen savers on each monitor, not one across both. Previously it was one screen saver across both monitors. Using the Galaxy screen saver, the star movements would go between the screens. Now there are two different galaxy scenes and motions. If I move the trackball, I get a unlock dialog box on both screens but they are not mirrored. If I enter a password in to either dialog box, the desktop unlocks. I cannot use anything that requires a full screen such as You Tube videos in a browser or any game. I have gone through the settings in Grub and tried different desktop settings. Nothing I can find on the net has pointed me in the right direction on this matter. This setup has worked flawlessly for two years now and worked well until the update. Due to this issue, the system runs slower when moving between screens or virtual desktops. Lack of full screen is a pain for some things. No Tux Extreme racer unless I want mirrored action. I have tried changing the GRUB_GFXMODE= with no success. Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 298mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1680x1050 59.9 1600x900 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1280x800 59.9 1280x720 60.0 1024x768 60.0 1024x576 60.0 800x60060.3 640x48060.0 DVI-I-2 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 298mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1680x1050 59.9 1600x900 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1280x800 59.9 1280x720 60.0 1024x768 60.0 1024x576 60.0 800x60060.3 640x48060.0 I hope someone can point me in the right direction to get operation back to normal. -- 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?

Weird network problem
Hi, all. I've got several machines on a LAN behind a NAT with DHCP assigning always the same addresses from a dynamic IP. A couple of days ago the IP changed since then, one of the machines running Fedora 17 always fails first time to connect to the network: launch Thunderbird, no start screen, first attempt to check mail, it tells me that there's no network connection, second attempt it connects. The scheduled DejaDup backup always fails with no network but will run manually no problem. Firefox can't find Google but the Nagios web interface is fine as is all the cli stuff (ping, ssh, etc). Most annoyingly, yum update goes through every mirror before partially downloading part of the updates if the updates are large, it takes about three attempts to get them all installed. I'd like to clear this up naturally especially as in the next couple of weeks I'll be upgrading this box to Fedora 18 the last thing I need is a dodgy network connection. All the machines below are on the same LAN they all work fine after the IP address change, it's only the Fedora box that's causing problems. Any help appreciated. I'm stuck.

f17 no internet after power failure, power restored
f17 no internet after power failure, power restored
{my wife's imac does have internet access.)
$ uname -r

trying with chrome:

10:10:15 AM. Does that look right? If not, you should correct your system's

Then I saw, indeed the date on the time panel was
Wednesday, May 25, 2011
not
Saturday may 25, 2013
FYI: this f17 is result of several preupgrades over last few years
f12, f14, f16, f17
so maybe a lot of cruft has accumulated?
I am not sure, but I think I would have noticed a date change this
drastic, so I assume it was somehow caused by the power failure.
After lot of futzing around using my wife's imac
I found some instructions on the internet on how to change time, date.
and once I got the date correct, I could then again access internet.
as root:
# date +%D -s 2013-05-25
But oddly, if I then try to also change the time.
# date +%T -s 16:22:00 -u
this modifies the time but it is still way off,
and worse:
the date reverts back to the 2011 as above.!?
So i redo the date, and
again my f17 has internet, but a way off time clock.
advice, comments?

Re: f17 no internet after power failure, power restored
Allegedly, on or about 25 May 2013, jackson byers sent: I am not sure, but I think I would have noticed a date change this drastic, so I assume it was somehow caused by the power failure. Most likely. Either the power failed in a bad way, upsetting the hardware in your computer along the way, or your CMOS battery may be running low, and this failure happened coincidentally. If you often leave your computer switched off for many hours and your clock is fine, then the battery is probably okay. After lot of futzing around using my wife's imac I found some instructions on the internet on how to change time, date. and once I got the date correct, I could then again access internet. as root: # date +%D -s 2013-05-25 Unless you're running a CLI-only system, it seems like you've gone to an awful amount of trouble to set the time and date, instead of just using the system settings GUI that lets you set the clock. But oddly, if I then try to also change the time. # date +%T -s 16:22:00 -u this modifies the time but it is still way off, and worse: the date reverts back to the 2011 as above.!? So i redo the date, and again my f17 has internet, but a way off time clock. The first thing that springs to mind is that you shouldn't have to manually set the clock, I thought that Fedora set its clock from a time server, by default, these days. And the second thing that springs to mind regards the clock being way off from what you expect: Have you correctly set your computer's timezone? And since you've specified that you set the clock to UTC with the -u flag, was 16:22 the actual UTC time at the time you set the clock? But personally, I'd just use the system settings GUI for the clock, pick the timezone, and let the computer manage the clock setting for me over the internet. I dare say that just about all public NTP servers are going to be more accurate than manually setting the time, and it automatically takes care of any time errors that crop up from time to time. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.12-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 8 15:36:14 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
