Re: Solar theme Round 2

2008-08-19 Thread Gerold
Hi,

I like that background.
The only thing I think about is: PowerUser

... with more than just 4 Icons on the Desktop :-( Have you ever seen User
with 20 or 30 Icons on the desktop? So it's impossible to use Round 2;
unfortunately.

If that background has also the changing colors of the day (like in F8 and
F9) then, I will use it and forget that the Name of F10 should be
Cambridge.

Regards

Gerold

I like better the round 1 [1] image, I find the round 2 one [2] a bit 
too bright and too contrasting.
And while the background in the round 1 image was plain and bland, I 
think in the round 2 image it is quite busy.


Naive question from someone not knowing that much about astronomy: are 
those planets images of our (Earth's) moon? Various planets are not 
supposed to be different in color and size?

Ok, I'll do some correction on round 2, the planets aren't correct, cos they'r 
totally invented, like Sun, and the blu sky, remember in the space the sky is 
dark.
:D
But forget about the realism, think about the idea behind, they'r mean the 
satellite rule in the universe as the community stay for fedora.
Greg said to think about power user, he was right, i'll correct ASAP like the 
contrast and the bright.
Last consideration the light behind is the part changing by daytime.

Right, to get a more usable image, you probably want to go for more
subtlety -- less contrast, a simpler image, and/or less dramatic.  That
allows the user's eye to concentrate on what's on the Desktop, not the
Desktop itself.

Well I first wanted to let you know that it's hard for others to work 
with your artwork because you didn't provide sources or in lieu of that 
any instructions on how to reproduce it. If you want your theme to have 
a good shot at making it you should definitely make them available so 
more people can 'vote' on it.


I liked the first solar better than this iteration; the colors were more 
Fedora blue and I think it was a bit darker so I think a bit more 
functional for a wallpaper (if the wallpaper is too bright / busy / 
contrasting it is hard for folks to use) I do like how you put the 
visual focus towards the lower right of the wallpaper, since we line the 
icons up starting from the upper left this helps.


It looks like you may have used planet brushes to produce the white 
planets on the left? Can you make those available too? (are they 
openly-licensed?)

About the moon, it wasn't only brushes, one of the three was made using a photo 
that i've manipulated before.
I will provide their too (the brushes) cos they are totally open.
The trouble about my source it's they are really big, about 44,5 mb cos it's a 
.psd file and not a svg and i've got some difficult to share them.
But i will do my best to let other person work on m purpose.

Hi Samuele, one of the ground rules we try to stick to is to use all
open source for everything that goes into Fedora, including the artwork.
So people will be looking for source for artwork that they can load into
open source tools to create or edit the artwork as desired.  Photoshop
isn't free and open source, which will probably make things harder for
Solar in the selection process.  Maybe you can collaborate with someone
on the list to adapt it for Inkscape, GIMP, or other free tools?

The majority of folks here do not have photoshop and use gimp. Can you 
open the PSD up in gimp and convert it to xcf? Actually if you can save 
it as xcf.gz from gimp, it will compress the file and likely make it 
smaller. Then you could upload it to your account a fedorapeople.org 
(which is back up right now). You should have enough disk space to do this.

One way to reduce the source size a bit it to open the .psd with GIMP 
and save it as compressed .xcf (.xcf.gz, .xcf.bz2).


Other way would be to just compress the psd (zip, tgz, bz2, whatever) 
but even if GIMP can open psd files, we encourage the use of xcf :p

Glad to have you here! Most of us are skilled with using graphic

Linux desktop in general) could really use a good sound events theme, 
something rivalling the other desktop operating systems.



Please don't ask me to test programs, becuase not all of the programs
included with Fedora are accessible for the blind, and in most cases I
probably won't have time, but if I can be of any assistance, please let

Personally I don't know much about this, but he have on list a few 
desktop people who should know more, in my understanding Fedora 10 
should contain libcanberra, a sound event library implementing the XDG 
sound theming/naming specs.

I am absolutely sure we can use some better sound files for this library.

I hope I am not very wrong and if I am wrong someone will step up and 
correct me (I understand Mlanglie did a bit of clean-up on those files, 
not sure that Lennart is subscribed here) but this is a sound theme: 
http://0pointer.de/public/sound-theme-freedesktop.tar.gz, probably the 
GNOME default.


Unpack it and will see a number of sound files (in OGG format, WAV could 
be just as good, we can compress it later), the file names should be 
self descriptive.
Also se the README file in that tarball for some simple rules which have 
to be followed (duration, volume).

As I first step I think so can post a few here to get feedback from people.

A second step would be to create (you or someone else more

And if the theme is good enough, it may become the default.

Following a talk on IRC I wanted to show to someone *how* the Fedora 
logo was created so went to tha Logo wiki page for the link and then 
tried http://capstrat.com/development/fedora/index.php - the URL where 
the great slides about the logo creation were posted.


Unfortunately, all I got was 404, Page not found (it used to be there 
a couple of months ago).


Since I think that was valuable information, do we have any chance to

I must say I like it :) In the screenshot it looks pretty well, only the
moons/planets make some icons harder to discern. I'd remove them. The
rest seems fine :)

PS: I noticed your mail client adds R: instead of the traditional Re: to
the Subject which causes the [R: and Re:]'s to pile... So I removed the
unnecessary parts from the subject in this reply :-p

PPS: I also noticed you use rather colloquial English and since many of
the art contributors are not native English speakers it sometimes might
be harder to understand what you say... Would you mind using more
'formal' language?

FWIW, here's some things I noticed:
* I would rather not have the other planetary bodies, since they tend to
seem cluttered.
* It's still quite bright in my opinion and could make work more
difficult for some people.
* I think the stars aren't really needed, or if so the density could be
greatly reduced, again to make the picture less distracting.
* If there are going to be stars at all, perhaps they should not be
visible behind the solar body?

Having said all that, I really do like the design.  It reminds me of the
recent remake of Tarkovsky's Solaris.

Neon

2008-08-19 Thread Michael Beckwith
Here's the happiest attempt that I've made to make a theme for Neon. The 
idea is just a view of a street, utilizing primarily just the lower 
right corner and along the right side. I would love to have ideas for 
more details that could be added, as this still feels primitive, but I 
think there's a lot of potential. I also think it's a radical idea to 
not be using about half the area available. So far, I just have a 
working version for the wallpaper. Files available below:

I still like the basic layout as we discussed in IRC earlier :) I was 
wondering, if the details were all filled in, what style of rendering 
would you ideally like to see this done in? For example, are you looking 
for a cyberpunk kinda look, with a lot of angles and metal, or are you 
looking for more of a grungy feel - maybe it would help to pick out an 
inspiration graphic that has the same feel you're looking for?


BTW I saw the neon tentacles you posted on planet fpo and I think they 
look really neat. I might start playing with them tonight :)

Speaking of password reset, the other day I logged into FAS and was 
informed by the application about a password reset request, received the 
mail, followed the link and changed my password.


Only to find today in my inbox the (mass) email informing me that I need 
to reset my password or else in 15 days my account will be deleted. This 
is confusing, as my password was just reset so I took the assumption 
that it was just a mass message, not one sent only to those that did not 
reset their passwords.
But anyway, just for my peace of mind, logged into FAS and saw it not 
complained like the other day about my password.

I just noted this in the topic of #fedora-admin.  Due to having
thousands of accounts in FAS we have to be careful that we don't flood
the pipes too much.  As a result our mail queue is VERY full at the
moment, and password reset e-mails are getting tacked onto the end.

You will get your password reset e-mail, I assure you (I see plenty of
them in the queue), if you get multiple, only the last reset e-mail will
work.

We really apologize for this, but there is a fine art in getting e-mail
servers sending at the right pace, and we don't want Google etc to start
thinking we only exist to spam people.

Yeah, this was by far the most email we've sent at a single time.  we've
got over 11,000 accounts in FAS now.  Sounds like we need to look at our
smtp setup.  Verify for sure how many emails we can send at a time.  Then
make sure our mass mailing scripts can do that.

Also, the the host that our smtp server is on is... very busy right now,
db servers ,app servers, etc are all on there while we're getting stuff
back online :)  Even with all that stuff going on I'm amazed at how
responsive everything is and how low the load generally is.

Hello,
The upstream Dansguardian website says


Before downloading, please read the copyright for DansGuardian 2. DansGuardian
is not free to download from this website for commercial use.



However, the software itself is GPL-ed (as per the LICENSE file in the
source tarball).
Will there be any issue if it is packaged for and distributed with Fedora ?
There's an open review request at

 What does RedHat have to do with this?

  As far as I

 Interesting opinion, I can't say I understand it. I'd argue you have
 done more damage. I'm willing to put together a few points if you're

  I am very disappointed with the current state of the Linux desktop as
  demonstrated in F9.

 Gnome actually is pretty nice, not that I would use it full time... or
 by Linux desktop did you mean the K Desktop environment?

  The people that allowed KDE4.0 to ship in F9 showed
  a huge lapse in judgment.

 How so? I think they underestimated how many freeloaders would bitch
 about not having what they want when they want it.

 You STILL labeling people again??

 That link is out of date/no longer the way to do things. ;)

 Instead take a look at:

 Basically you should just need to populate your ~/.asoundrc with your
 headsets bluetooth address and it should work.

 Sadly, here I get the sco packet for unknown connection error, which
 is apparently a kernel issue with encrypted/non encrypted
 connections. ;(

 Hope that helps, and please let us know how it goes.



I created a .asoundrc file and was successful in pairing my headset,
However nothing else is working.
This is on mplayer

I found another post on getting the headset to work. It might help you.

I get even though pulseaudio service is running,
Connection failure: Connection refused
Connection failure: Connection refused

when running,

pactl load-module module-alsa-source device=bluetooth


This whole fedora implemetation seem to be a big mess of infinite
dependencies and broken things. Who whould no pulseaudio volume control is
not part of pulse audio and not installed by default? Google is your friend
for everything.

Anyway, I'm out. I'll try this only if there is something promising or a
fedora developer who knows this stuff is willing to help to get this going.

 What graphics card do you have? If you have R300/R500 graphics card,
 compiz runs very well.

 If you have an R600 graphics card you may need a newer RadeonHD driver
 than what is distributed by fedora.


 I have Radeon HD2400 (mobile on my Asus F3Sr)






 Based on your info i have discovered
 xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.1-1.1.20080429git.fc9.i386 pakage for Fedora 9 in
 updates repo which i have tried.
 But so far functionality is same for me as radeon driver .


 There should be a newer radeonhd driver in updates-testing I think.


 Thanks, you were right there is :

 (II) RADEONHD: version 1.2.1, built from dist of git branch master, commit
 31e46386
 Fedora package xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.1-3.7.20080724git.fc9

 But unfortunatelly this does not works also :( ,

 Should it work for my Radeon card? (HD2400)

 With the driver from updates testing it should, I dont have the card to
guarantee it will work.

Make sure you have installed all mesa updates.  Also, did you enable
radeonhd instead of radeon in your xorg.conf file?

I've had a bit of a dabble with CentOS, but mostly for server reasons.
I have to get around to moving our mail server over from Fedora Core 4

Well, those who *want* to know these things, can join an announce list
(like I did, ages ago).  Those who don't want to know can avoid the
information overload, and not join.  Lumping all communication together
makes it harder for those who want less info.

There will be plenty that won't join mailing lists, because they're not
interested in them, at all.  But might expect to see a notice somewhere,
if they've been trying to update a system for several days, and nothing
is happening.  Service status notices on the main website usually take
care of those people.  But if there is one for Fedora, I didn't notice
it.

I think the main website does fairly well in letting people know how
they can find out information (IRC, join a mailing list, etc.), so I
don't think it's too hard to find general information out.

What version of cups are you using (rpm -q cups), and what new hplip

It would be useful if you could file a bugzilla report about this,
including that error_log snippet.

Could you please turn on debug logging ('cupsctl --debug-logging' as

the error_log file, and starts cupsd again), then attach the resulting
error_log to the bug report?  That would be great.

Unless you've changed something those timeouts sound very long.  Our 
systems allow a retry after about 5 seconds or so.


If you're seeing the same effect for both console and ssh then it's not 
going to be a gdm setting but rather something related to pam.


The normal place to configure this is in /etc/login.defs where you can 
specify something like:


LOGIN_TIMEOUT 20

.. but this isn't set by default in fedora.  You can also get the same 
effect by modifying files in /etc/pam.d using the pam_tally module. 
Again this is also not set by default in fedora.


Another possibility is that you have a misconfigured /etc/nsswitch.conf 
file, such that logins which fail to authenticate against /etc/passwd 
are trying to contact an unavailable nis or ldap server.


If you're only using local authentication then your nsswitch file for 
logins should read:


passwd: files
shadow: files
group:  files


.. if you have anything in addition to files try removing it and seeing 
if your retry times fall considerably.


Hope this helps

Simon.

Where is system-config-selinux gone?

2008-08-19 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi,

I tried to use the selinux manager under f9 for the first time and did
not find it in the menus. Propably it had been removed in fedora 9,
though /usr/bin/system-config-selinux was there. When I run it it states
Fehler beim finden des ausgewählten Programms (Error finding selected
program) Strange. 
I reinstalled policycoreutils-gui-2.0.52-5.fc9.i386 and still the
manager does not work giving the same answer as above.

Ok guys, who has my system-config-selinux? I want it back!

KDE 4.1 task bar.

2008-08-19 Thread Mark Haney
Well I've asked on a couple of other lists, but no luck so I'm hoping 
someone here knows the answer.  I just moved to KDE4 and I want to get 
the default KDE3.5 task bar behaviour back.


In other words I don't want listed on my taskbar every item that's open 
unless it's open on the desktop I'm currently on.  If I move an item to 
another desktop I want that task bar item to only display on that 
desktop when I click to it.


Anyone know how?

Not so. I saw it and presumably others did too. If you aren't sure a
post has made it to the list, check the archives at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ before repeating it. The
lack of replies has any number of explanations and problems with sending
to the list are fairly low on the scale of probability, especially if
you don't get an error bounce.

 Since I enrolled to the list just to solve my bluetooth problem and
 didn't see my very first post to the list I thought I did something
 wrong and hence the second one.

Note that some mail clients will not show you your own posts unless you
make special arrangements. You can also configure your own list

 Apologies to everyone esp. to Patrick.

virtualGL server

2008-08-19 Thread Mohammed El-Afifi
I'm using fedora 9, 64-bit edition. I'm running KDE 4, shipping with the fedora 
9 installation DVD. I'm trying to install virtualGL 2.1, according to this link 
http://www.virtualgl.org/vgldoc/2_1final.
Everythings goes well till I get to section 6.2 Granting Access to the Server’s 
X Display at http://www.virtualgl.org/vgldoc/2_1final/#hd006002, and 
specifically the Sanity Check part.
The first command in this part reads

Code:
xauth merge /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key
When I try to run this command, an error messages indicates that the file 
doesn't exist.
I tracked the problem a little and found that during the configuration, the 
file /etc/gdm/Init/Default was patched by adding the command vglgenkey at its 
beginning. Since this file is executed every time gdm is launched, this command 
should be run as well. However this command is run without any effect. I tried 
to run this command manually at the command line, and found that one line in 
its script, namely the line using xauth doesn't have any effect as it tries to 
create the file /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key.
I don't know why xauth refuses to generate that file as instructed in the 
vglgenkey script.
Did anyone manage to install virtualGL in feodra(9) and completed this step? 
Appreciating any help or suggestions!

system-config-display is for configuring the display (duh ...). It's not

On the EEEpc you have to hold down thealt key and click and hold on

The problem is because of the low resolution 600x800 the E is capable to

data are entirely independant of each other (because they are two
different users).

 I used the 'root account ' as a
 comparison because its .gconf was removed and re-written by gconf on
 installation.
 
 gconf-cleaner in 'user' finds more and more keys to change or remove
 each time I run it in whichever 'user account ' ( I have three on my
 machine.)
[...]
 Unless someone has a better solution, I was thinking of 'yum remove
 gconf gconf-editor' and deleting all my user's .gconf dir/files.  Then
 re-installing gconf and gconf-editor.  

Deleting ~/.gconf (and ~/.gconf2) may fix your problems, although
instead of deleting them I'd move them to one side just in case.

Removing and reinstalling gconf and gconf-editor is completely pointless
and will undoubtedly cause a cascade of dependant package removals.

 However, that means I lose all my configurations for all my apps; and,
 gconf-editor has a lot of dependencies.  If yum had a way to remove an
 app while leaving the dependencies intact or a way to do a 'dry run' I
 wouldn't be asking for advice.

It automatically does a dry run, since it asks you to confirm before
proceeding.

 I have read through man yum-utils etc and
 see nothing useful there.  I am not sure rpm -evv --nodeps -- test would
 be any better.

Almost guaranteed to cause problems. Using --nodeps is an action of last
resort, when there's something seriously wrong with a package
installation or a spec file. Given that you have just reinstalled your
entire system, there's no reason to suspect anything is wrong with your
package set or any of its components.

 If anyone has a better idea of where the problems might lie or how to
 fix them please let me know.

 The thing that bothers me about my solution is that gconf should have
 installed in the first place accommodating my preexisting ~/.gconf.  As
 far as I can tell, I have not touched or been messing about with
 anything that should damage gconf.

You've been doing a lot of tweaking in your system, and some of it may
well have touched Gconf data. That's what you need to clean up, not
Gconf itself. Given the large number of problems, you're better off just
nuking it and reconfiguring what you need. Keep a backup in case you
need to consult something while doing the setup.

Yes it didn't matter but you are correct.

Han Solo Chewbacca

would do exactly the same thing, since Chewbacca is not a common term

Yes in this case the plus sign does little, the imagination is key here

Does anyone know a really handy way to search the archives?  Googling
by hand with site:https://www.redhat.com/archives as one of the terms
will do it, but awkwardly.



The handiest way I have really found is to search your own archive, if 
you keep one, , I use this as an alternative since my archive is rather 
small in the grand scheme of things. You could  search here:

Seems like it ought to be easier than this. Guess I should rtfm at

Searching the Fedora List came up in another thread. I thought this

I always use google's advanced search page and specify the root web

their archives to not be scanned by search engines).



Just a funny little thing:
I don't get any hits from normal or advanced search when searching for 
'googlesmithing' (a word in that other thread's title) nor for 'F9 
boot-from-USB' (which should have shown the thread 'F9 boot-from-USB 
MemStick?'). I can find other threads from august 2008, though, so it's 
not ralated to the message being from the current month. Markmail.org 
that Wayne mentioned finds those threads. (I don't work from them ;-) )


Any suggestions as to why?

I understand they are independent from each other, that is why I

gconf-editor).

USB stick

2008-08-19 Thread Xavier Mas
Hi list,

I recently installed Fedora 8 in my computer and when starts I'm getting a 
message that says: hub 1-0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1.

Then, when desktop is fully up I can't mount the USB stick (doesn't mount 
automatically when I insert it into the port).

Seems a bad installation or maybe a bug. Any suggestions?
