I have been having trouble with firefox3.5 on my x86_64 FC11 install for a month now...firefox freezes my pc. So I used yum to remove firefox. Now I'm wondering if I could just use another rpm for firefox...could I use the 32 bit version safely? I found the rpm and started doing a local install with yum but it wants these dependencies:
How do I go about removing the old f11 rpm stuff after an upgrade? I have several packages from fc11 that are newer than what is on the fc12 (probably because of updates), so several things still show up as fc11. Why isn't the fc12 updated at least to the newest or newer stuff in fc11?
I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on another system and without even really trying the generic drivers I automatically went and installed the proprietary ones.
It was a nightmare. Catalyst Control Center would always crash when I changed my display settings to multiple monitors and a higher resolution and tried to save them. I had to redo my display settings every time I rebooted.
Dear Members,
Since I've installed Debian Squeeze, it freezes 2-3 times a day.
Usually the mouse pointer stops working and the screen remains unchanged, but sometimes it become white or distorted and the system halts.
Video is an older Ati 200m chipset (x300) with radeon driver and shared memory.
OS is Debian Squeeze x64
I've tried to modify xorg's settings.
I have an Aldi PC with a Q8200 processor and have installed Fedora11 on this system. Regularly I get updates to install, but also updates for i586 packages, which give a conflict with the x86_64 packages already installed.
Sometimes I have missed a i586 package in the update list, resulting in an error next time.
Hi, all.
I don't know if this is an actual 'bug' or a configuration error I've made.
I'm running a system with an AMD Athlon X2 64-bit, 4 Gb RAM, etc.
Currently, the primary boot system is Fedora 11 (64-bit) but this is not the only system installed; there were several OS predecessors - both 32-bit and 64-bit.
I just did 'yum update' on my system and got a number of errors such as this one:
Code:
Updating : xfce4-settings-4.6.1-4.fc11.i586 87/184
Error unpacking rpm package xfce4-settings-4.6.1-4.fc11.i586
In my new installation of SUSE 11.2 with KDE, the screen resolution is not being retained when the system is shut down and then powered up again. I have a Viewsonic GT775 and I get a badly distorted desktop when the system starts up as 1280x1024 80Hz. If I go to System Settings and change the resolution to 1280x1024 75Hz, the desktop display locks in beautifully.
Running Fedora 11.
At boot all goes well but X server fails to start (the Fedora logo shows up but hangs)
Here is output of startx
hostname: Host name lookup failure
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.4184 (this number changes every time)
[root@cassandra Richard]#startx
