No, not necessarily (in fact it's fairly unlikely). The package format is not as important as whether the contents of the package are actually compatible with your distribution. OpenSUSE and Fedora...

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. You seem to have decided not to use the same /home (which I'd certainly agree with), but then you say "from what I read /shared is the way to go." What do you...
As monkeybrain said, if you create a user as an 'administrator' in Fedora (all the user creation tools should have this option, except gnome-initial-setup, which *always* creates the user as an...
Interesting bug, but I just added a comment which may help in practical terms: you should be able to just put the correct form of the kernel parameter directly into grub2.cfg. Because of how Fedora...
buzzingrobot: we don't talk about what Fedora release a given RHEL is 'based on' (in fact the relationship is somewhat more complex than that in any case) but you will certainly see a lot of the...
fishboyfive: thanks for the kind words, but I'm not sure Ubuntu would be best served by Fedora's installer necessarily :) It's certainly not a straightforward thing to simply transfer an installer...
Hi, Graham. Yes, that test command is pretty 'dumb', we've just been copy/pasting it from event to event forever. If I get five minutes I'll see if I can come up with a slightly more robust version....
I hope no-one minds me posting this here - I don't spam about all kinds of Fedora events, but Graphics Test Week is a bit of an exception. It's of interest beyond the Fedoraverse, because Fedora devs...
That's not bad advice. MATE is available from the installer if you use the netinst image, just not if you use the DVD.
The F17 torrents are also still listed on the torrent page: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
acubed10: most of the wackiness in f18 is in anaconda, and that's not going to change, because we...
It's not DVD sized, it's just gone up from 700MB target to 1GB (I think Ubuntu did something similar recently in fact). So you can write it to a 1GB, 2GB or 4GB USB stick, for instance.
Most of the problems people have had with F18 are in the installer, which isn't really surprising as it's effectively a ground-up rewrite. F18 itself is a pretty decent release, I'm not aware of any...
Hey folks. I don't often post these outside of Fedoraland, but as this is really more about testing GNOME than anything Fedora specific, I thought Ubuntu folks might be interested. We're running a...
Quick bit of advice - if you're going to try out F17 Alpha, please do read the Common Bugs page, it's not one of those Alphas which seem to work almost perfectly already, there are some fairly large...
AIUI it's not usable yet, it's not sufficiently complete to run the psb driver on top of.
Oh, fun - lucazade etc, here's something you may run into with 2.6.38:
/builddir/build/BUILD/psb-kmod-4.41.1/_kmod_build_2.6.38-0.rc5.git1.1.fc15.i686
/drm_agpsupport.c: In function...
libwsbm is listed as a dependency in the spec file, so it must be separately packaged. Have to get it out of the Meego tree (it'll be in there somewhere) and build it. same goes for anything else...
I have no more information than you do - I just happened to find that driver there. But it looks from the spec files like there's no build, it's all pre-built binaries, and all the spec files do is...
Thanks for the feedback on EMGD, everyone. Looks like it'd be pretty useless for Fedora as F14 is X.org 1.9 :) I find the performance of psb okay, especially using Compiz instead of metacity, and I...
There's a gstreamer-vaapi you can get - I have it packaged for Fedora, don't know if it's packaged for Ubuntu - which should make all gstreamer-using apps use VA-API. Upstream is...
hey folks, just dipping in again...lucazade / jbernardo, i see you guys seem to be all playing with EMGD now, what's the benefit over psb? I haven't really looked at the EMGD driver yet for Fedora,...
thanks guys, that's helpful. I did manage to rediff the backwards compatibility patches from sds to apply to upstream libva, but it still doesn't work with those. I guess I'll just submit two...
hey, folks - just trying to figure something out here. do you guys have psb working with libva1 (the upstream libva)? or do you have to use that 0.31.1 build (presumably an sds build) that i see in...
Matthew says you have to rebuild initrd/initramfs with psb module in it after applying the patches before Plymouth will (possibly) work. Haven't sorted that out yet.
For Ubuntu 10.10, X 1.8...
Quick note - I've just added some patches to the Fedora kernel module build that Matthew Garrett sent to me. The big thing is a framebuffer fix which he says should make Plymouth work. See...
