Fedora 15 Gnome 3 show date

In gnome 3 for some reason they only show the time in the panel

if you want the date also

gsettings set  org.gnome.shell.clock show-date true

Fedora 15 Logitech Dinovo Edge

This worked for me out of the box, however if it does not work for you

Try following this post Fedora 13 / 14 Logitech Dinovo Edge

I chose the incorrect layout,
since gnome 3 no longer controls keyboard layout you have to set it in xorg configuration

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf
# This file is autogenerated by system-setup-keyboard. Any
# modifications will be lost.

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"system-setup-keyboard"
	MatchIsKeyboard	"on"
	Option		"XkbModel"	"pc105+inet"
	Option		"XkbLayout"	"us"
#	Option		"XkbVariant"	"(null)"
	Option		"XkbOptions"	"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,"

A list of keyboard layouts

Wikipedia Keybaord Layouts

17.1.18. /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
The /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file controls the behavior of the keyboard.

The following values may be used:
KEYBOARDTYPE=”sun|pc” where sun means a Sun keyboard is attached on /dev/kbd, or pc means a PS/2 keyboard connected to a PS/2 port.
KEYTABLE=”“, where is the name of a keytable file.

For example: KEYTABLE=”us”.

The files that can be used as keytables start in /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386 and branch into different keyboard layouts from there,
all labeled .kmap.gz.

The first file found beneath /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386 that matches the KEYTABLE setting is used.

Console keymap is controller by grub

/boot/grub/menu.lst

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 ro root=UUID=553d29bd-4b1c-427d-8624-8ad53821f217 rd_DM_UUID=sil_bgaiahccahbc rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=uk rhgb

Fedora 15 pulseaudio m-audio audiophile 2496

Same old trick to this one

1. Edit the pulse rules

sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/90-pulseaudio.rules

add the following line

SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x1412", ATTRS{device}=="0x1712", ATTRS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x1412",
ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0xd634", ENV{PULSE_PROFILE_SET}="m_audio-audiophile-2496.conf"

2. Create the following file

sudo gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/m_audio-audiophile-2496.conf

; This card, based on the Via ICE1712 chipset, has two stereo audio channels
; (1 in and 1 out) and a separate S/PDIF digital stereo channel. Like with
; all ICE1712-based cards, this is exposed by ALSA as a single 10-channel
; device with some of the channels not connected.

Don’t forget to turn up the device DAC 0,1

optionally, if this setting goes after reboot, make a startup script and put the following into it

amixer -c 0 sset  'DAC',0 100% 100%
amixer -c 0 sset  'DAC',1 100% 100%

Note* -c 0 might change depending on your setup!

Fedora 15 repositories

So i upgraded to Fedora 15, i must say its going to take a while to get
used it without compiz and general gnome 3 stuff.

First thing i noticed was as its beta there are no official repos.
in the main trunk, you have to use the development ones.

first off move all the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ *.bak
( we will want to restore these later, when the proper repos come up! )

next

make a new file fedora.repo

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

Add the following

[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
baseurl=http://fedora.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/fedora/linux/development/15/x86_64/os/
#mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
#metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

[fedora-debuginfo]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Debug
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/debug/

enabled=0
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

[fedora-source]
name=Fedora $releasever - Source
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/source/SRPMS/
baseurl=http://fedora.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/fedora/linux/development/15/source/SRPMS/

enabled=0
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

And work away as normal

yum clean all
yum update
