Hi All,

Anyone else having problems with kmail on Fedora 9? Since the last
update, mine hangs everytime it starts to collect mail (I don't get as
far as being prompted for the kwallet password).

Anybody got any suggestions on how to fix?

No, but Opera 9.52 isn't happy with the BBC site (Gnome, not KDE) though
Firefox 3 seems happy apart from being crashed by some BBC video footage.

Fedora 9 been working fine for me, although I don't do anything too exciting.

The one thing it doesn't seem to do is sync to the time server on booting but
that appears to be a common failing.

That's definitely not true. F9 is the best so far, in my opinion. I've
been using it since the day it was released and i've had no trouble with
it at all - apart from a bug somewhere between the kernel and
NetworkManager related to the specific wireless NIC in this particular
laptop, and not Fedora specific anyway.

There's an interesting set of timing dependencies with NTP tools, and the
availability of the NTP servers. I find it helpful to use Nagios to monitor my
systems for NTP status. Even if you don't feel like running Nagios, installing
it from the EPEL repository and running '/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -H
localhost' occasionally can be very informative.

Mysteriously it has suddenly started working again (without me
changing anything - just a couple of reboots - and the first reboot
didn't resolve it). Which suggests there may be timing issues.

I'd recently switched to using Fedora after a long spell with SuSE
which was becoming too bloated (IMHO) and needed a bleeding edge
kernel (2.6.25) to run on my new hardware (previous gave various
problems with ACPI and USB). On reflection I don't really think that
the KDE4 system supplied was production quality.

Think I may reinstall something else on my desktop soon. Unfortunately
its been over a year since the last PCLinuxOS release which is
currently doing sterling service in my laptop,

You have been luky with FC9, mine hang every now and then (KDE ? ), it
changes /etc/fstab to hold FS id rather than device, many thing did
work after the upgrade and most my screen is blinking even after all
the changes I did, it woked fine with FC7..
Firefox was a Beta version, so Is KDE..
And more generaly, there is a new version of Fedora every 6 month,
that too often to have a stabilised version, even the documentation
stay far behind and as I already said, I want to USE my computer
rather to waste time fixing it.
I will be moving my home server to Debian? and portable PC to xandros
wich by the way immediatly found my wireless card wicth Fedora never
did.
