That's not a problem, it is just a formality. The really hard part is to find an Echo developer willing to keep with this task (and updating not only this icon but also things like the computer icon which is put on the default desktop) when we have already tons of icons needed.

You have a point there, I can imagine it being used for IM applications like empathy, gajim or pidgin, now that you mention it... My point behind the decision for start-here was because the icon I used is main part of the new echo-icon-theme logo and start-here is IMHO a good place to show the logo (and it will most likely be replaced by fedora logo when echo is made default fedora theme). Maybe remove one wave will work. I decided to remove the waves altogether. Makes the icon less cluttered and would probably work better in the place it is designed for.

Re: gspca as part of the rawhide kernel?
2008/7/3 Hans de Goede [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all, As some of you know I've been working on improving webcam support under Fedora, see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterWebcamSupport http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/ One of the things I've been working on is in beating gspcav2 (a v4l2 port of gspca) into shape, although I must admit most of the work has been done by Jean-François Moine, the latest version is available from his mercurial tree and it has been pulled into the official v4l-dvb tree for wider testing. Once it has been in the v4l-dvb tree it will make its way into the mainline hopefuly for 2.6.27, if not then certainly fotr 2.6.28. To check it out see: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/ Some time ago I've already done a review of the gspca_core and there are some locking issues to solve (I already know how, I just need to code them out). Once this is done I would like to see gspcav2 be added to the Fedora kernel, as to make the: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterWebcamSupport Feature a reality (also needs userspace work, I'm on this). So my questions are: 1) would it be acceptable to cary the gspca driver as a patch (only new files and makefile / kconfig changes doesn't touch anything else) until it is merged upstream. Note that this is much needed for wider webcam support and that gspca is on its way to the mainline now, and I'll personally will be working on ironing out any issues upstream may have with gspca as is. 2) Assuming the answer to 1 is yes, how do I move forward, can I get be added to the kernel package acl, what are the procedures for adding a patch and building a new kernel, etc? Personally I'd love to see this in rawhide. If you have a patch that applies against the current rawhide kernel then scratch-building one in koji isn't too much of a greater leap. Maybe DaveJ and the other kernel bods would be happier if i's cleanly applying and won't need much maintenance.

Gnome DVD CDA Autoplay default program
Hello everybody. I'm running Fedora 9 and using Gnome as desktop environment. I'm trying to figure out how to add items to the autoplay list for removable medias (DVD, Audio CD, etc...) handling. I found the removable media tab under the preferences for Nautilus, but I could only select one of the predefined entries, not adding my own. E.g. I'd like to add (and use) Amarok or KsCD for AudioCD and Xine/mplayer for DVD. I'd be happy to manually modify a config file, but I could not find anything that rang a bell looking under ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 ~/.gconf . Any help/hint is appreciated!

installing F9 on a DPT SCSI RAID
Hi, I am having problems installing F9 on a machine with a SCSI RAID board DPT(i2o) SmartRaid V. What happens is that the installation procedure gives no problems, I can see the single disk produced from the three RAID-5 disks and I can partition, format and install everything, but when I reboot I get: Unable to access resume device (/dev/i2o/hda2) mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root/' setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Mount failed for selinuxfs on /selinux: No such file or directory Switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory as if the disk is not seen. I tried to look into the initrd image and it seems that the i2o_core module (which I think is the one used for the DPT) is there. I don't know where I can find a list of the hardware and drivers as /etc/syconfig/hwconf is not there anymore and can't find anything similar. This is my first F9 and a lot of stuff seems to be different form the old FC. Any help?

Re: Possible to extend the /boot partition?
Wong Kwok-hon wrote: Hello, My /boot file system is about 100MB and would it possible to extend online? Which software should I use ? Thanks... Best Regards, Wong Kwok Hon Dumb question - why do you want to increase the size of your /boot partition? You can use gparted to adjust the sizes of your partitions. I would recommend using the stand alone CD version, as you do not want to try and resize/move mounted partitions. Also, /boot is usually one of the hardest partitions to resize, as it usually involves moving other partitions to make room.

I think I've seen that the NM service will be set to start earlier in the boot sequence in a soon-to-be-released update.

My main structure is a series of directories which are named by year, i.e. I have directories called 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, etc. Then within the year directories I have sub-directories containing the actual images, I want to call these things like:- Jan - Snow at Newbourne April - visit to Poland April - pictures of pets at home May - riding Now the big issue is that I want to be able to sort these directories containing the images in chronological order. This basically requires either that the program allows me to add some sort of property to an image directory indicating its date or it allows me to sort the directories manually. Even if I use numbers for the months (01 - Jan, 02 - Feb, etc.) it's not a perfect solution because different directories for the same month will still not be sorted correctly (e.g. April above). Does anyone know of an image viewing/editing/managing program that provides this sort of organisation? At the moment I'm using digikam which is close to what I want but doesn't provide the chronological sorting I want within its folder structure. -- Chris Green -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

It was a problem with the supposed eps file (created from R using cairo_ps function instead of postscript function). Rick B. Rick, You might note from ?cairo in R, in the Details section: The cairo_ps output is not yet encapsulated (that is coming in cairo 1.6). Also, if you are using a current version of R, you might want to note the relatively new setEPS() function. See ?setEPS for more information. HTH, Marc Schwartz Thanks for the information. I should have checked out the function more but I was in a hurry. The problem I was having with the R postscript funciton under F8 was that it was creating gray images instead of color images. I couldn't figure out how to get the color. The cairo_ps function produced color images. I used eps2eps hoping it would fix what was wrong and it did. So I got the color and a usable eps file. I'll look into setEPS. Rick B. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

If not, it seems more likely to be a file permissions problem than a locking problem. A quick look at ~/.openoffice.org2.0 shows no files which aren't writeable by me, so you could try chmod -R u+w ~/.openoffice.org2.0 poc The weird thing is the problem disappeared.

Re: Does one have to be a sound engineer?
max bianco: I think the reasoning is not breaking the hardware or your ear drums. Blowing speakers is relatively easy to do. Timothy Murphy: Windows doesn't seem to worry about that. As it happens, I am using the laptop speaker - I doubt if this has ever deafened anyone. Try using powered speakers with no volume control on them (some JBL speakers that came with a Compaq monitor, long ago), they depend on your mixer to completely control levels. They go damn loud when driven with full audio levels. A proper use of a volume control would be that a high level (on your control position) is relative to very loud audio. That's not a good default. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 FC6, all using Gnome in case that's important to the thread.)

Fedora 9 X dual monitor problem
I recently upgraded my laptop from Fedora 8 to Fedora 9. As always, I backed up the old system and started from reformatted drives. I never upgrade my OS in place. This is on my Dell Latitude D820 with a 15.4 inch 1680x1050 screen, using the proprietary Nvidia driver. I've had quite a few problems with F9. I don't know how much of my pain is coming from KDE4 being fresh out of the oven, and how much of it is F9 itself. When I was running F8, I was able to sucessfully hook up the external video port to my Sony Bravia TV's PC port. It does 1380x768. This is essential functionality for me, so I can watch MythTV on the TV while using my internal screen for email/web/etc. I used separate Xs, not TwinView or Xinerama (I experimented with those, but windows would launch on the TV when it wasn't hooked up, so I couldn't get to them). And all was right in the world After I loaded F9, I'm not able to get the TV to display anything. I see a crosshatch pattern over the screen, and if I move the mouse to that screen, I see the cursor, but I can't right click or left click. I even tried the exact xorg.conf from F8, and that didn't work either. Instead of the crosshatch pattern, the TV was just black. I have a complete writeup, with links to the config and log files at: http://www.thekramers.net/tmp/xproblem/ Someone suggested that X wasn't starting on that screen (:1), and to try to start it separately, but that didn't work. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ export DISPLAY=:1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo $DISPLAY :1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ kwin kwin: FATAL ERROR while trying to open display :1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ metacity Window manager error: Unable to open X display :1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ * Config file two screens, worked in F8, but not F9 * Log file (from F9), two screens, worked in F8 but not in F9 * Log file, single screen, works * Config file, single screen, works * Log file, two screens, broken * Config file, two screens, broken Some other related problems I'm having: * nvidia-settings puts an entry in xorg.conf for RgbPath, and X fails to start, claiming it's invalid. I have to remove that line every time I rerun nvidia-settings. * It says it can't load the module type1, but I can't see any packages (using yum or yumex) having to do with type1 fonts that isn't installed. * It looks like glx is loading when you look at some parts of the log files, and that it isn't in others. How can I tell for sure, and how can I fix it if it isn't loading? * The fonts applications and KDE use seem very inconsistent. I have Firefox and Thunderbird to use font sized 10 and 12 for most things, but sometimes they will show text using a font that looks like it's at least 20, and sometimes emails appear in a font too small to easily read, and in light grey. I have it set to view in plain text and quoted lines in black in the same font. I know that sounds like a Thunderbird problem, but since I'm having font troubles in general, I'm not sure. Also not sure if it's related to the type1 module problem above. Thanks. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

You could even do backups. A little cumbersome, but probably more reliable.

I assign the IPv4 address, netmask, gateway, and nameserver as they are defined for other machines on the LAN and specify the IP address and directory of the NFS serving machine. IPv6 is disabled. But the installer is always unable to mount the NFS volume. Is there something I'm missing? TIA. When installing from alternative media such as the hard disk or nfs, you tell the installer the drive (e.g. /dev/sda2) and the directory where the actual ISO image resides (e.g. Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso). That was it, thanks! To make the install faster, do a hard disk install. That is, put the iso image on the machine you want to install, on a partition that you do not format during the install (e.g. in /home/user). If you're installing on a machine that's not already running linux, then you must do a network install. It didn't seem as though the installer recognizes LVM volumes. But the net install is working fine.
