So this morning I'm .....

So this morning I'm playing around with a couple Fedora boxes when much to my dismay:

My Fedora 12 desktop won't update. Way too many dependency errors. No big deal. It can wait. After all, this is Alpha stuff and it's to be expected but it's always fun trying to force the system to do things it really doesn't want to do. Somehow I think I've lost the battle today.

My Fedora 11 laptop is at 100% CPU as soon as I log in to the desktop. Seems that kerneloops is running wild. Maybe there's a good reason for it. I don't know. Something to do with the fact that /var/log/messages is getting larger by the second with the same message over and over?
Aug 30 08:32:38 leonardo kernel: [drm:drm_wait_vblank] *ERROR* failed to acquire vblank counter, -22
Yeah, I know, that was from yesterday. The messages are the same today. It just keeps getting bigger. 80 MB so far. Looks like Fusion-Icon or the settings within are the culprit. I got rid of it and the messages stopped.

Conky seems to want to use an "always on top" type of profile. Everything else is below it. I kill Conky and restart it and it seems to behave. Maybe related to Fusion-Icon since it seems to have started this behaviour about the same time I started using Fusion-Icon.

That's all. No support request. No desperate call for help. I'm just saying.

So what's up with your Fedora(s) this morning? Anything interesting?

I'm still running 10
nothing has been up with it for many months
THANK GOD!

I had the ktorrent update error but I don't use it so I ignored it and it went away.
I hope I can hold off until 12 is out and that the even numbers are safer on release day then the odd numbers. Since I have an older computer I do get the feeling that fedora is leaning away from me and favors newer equipment. That's OK with me, maybe it's time for me to try and get something newer?

Peace,
Pat Jr.

I'm finding the same thing to be true. Some of the older machines that I have seem to be really slow with newer releases of Fedora. It seems to be more graphics related than anything else. I suppose that's to be expected. Alas, we make do with what we have, at least for the time being.

Somewhat O/T, but... The main desktops (GNOME, KDE, and to a lesser extent XFCE) are in fact becoming more resource-intensive. Fortunately, there are still alternatives: I find the new LXDE re-spin to be just fine on older hardware (for now; we might see it too expand in future - who knows?).
