Re: Extra Backgrounds package
Marek Mahut wrote: Dear art team, We will be releasing Fedora Astronomy spin this release and I'd like to include also an extra wallpapers with it - is the extra backgrounds package ready? If not, is it OK with you to create astronomy-backgrounds As far as I know, we don't have such a package in the work and won't have it in the near future. package and merge it once we have extra backgrounds? Yup, that seems the most effective way forward: create an astronomy-backgrounds and later if we will have more will decide if and how to merge. Personally I think it may be better to have a number of smaller additional wallpaper packages instead of a single huge one.

F11 Art Schedule
Hi, Back in January I met with Mairin and others at FUDCon to plot the art schedule for Fedora 11. As a casual reader of the list I know some things are still in flux and have changed and in some ways that is expected and good. It seems that because the wallpaper was in beta you received feedback in time to change course. Maybe we should build a feedback period into the Fedora 12 schedule? We've learned in past releases that it helps to keep track of how things go (in reality) compared to the estimated schedule so that the estimated schedule for the next release is more realistic and achievable. With that in mind, looking at the splash screen tasks listed in the link below I thought it would be a good idea to record what their completion dates were ore when you estimate they will be complete: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-11/f-11-art-tasks.html (task numbers 10 to 21) It is also important to note that we are targeting the completion of final artwork and packaging a little less than two weeks from now on 2009-04-16 so that it can all be in the Preview Release and have two weeks to shake out anything that needs final fixing before GA.

Re: Fedora Mascot
2009/4/2 Paul W. Frields sticks...@gmail.com A mascot would be brand diluting at this point, so my inclination is against having one. I disagree with you.. most cases our brand is symbolized with our logo our Trademark name.. mascot is just for familiarizing our product line... We can have different icon for each of our product line or we can have different mascot for our product line... Brand is something else it can not be disillusioned by mascot No wonder people don't know much about our Fedora code Name while everyone you ask knows the Code name of Ubuntu even better... (like jaunty hardy gutsy etc...), believe it or not, it´s true. Because, Ubuntu make the Code name their mascot. However, I'm sure large part of Fedora Community people will think of these as threat to our brand Name Fedora. -- Angel http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Angel 0DF8 3CD4 AFE3 68C6 2CDA 9F17 14B8 1A15 E5F7 73C2 Fedora -- Freedom² and rapid innovation ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Hi
Hi All, I'm Vinay. I got upto here while trying to fix my installation of Fedora-10. I've been steady user of Fedora package for a little more than a year. I like it better, as I learn more in Fedora environment than on other platforms. Regarding contributing to the Project, I'm a newbie. I'm interested in core infrastructure development/maintainance. I'm comfortable with C, C++, Java. I'd like to learn Python, or Ruby, if I get a project/task that makes me do it. At this stage, I'd like to observe the kinds of problems this(infrastructure) team handles, possibly learn some stuffs, and contribute where possible.

[Way OT] Tiny Core Linux

My site is still showing Fedora 10. Does a Fedora 11 counter exist? It is early, for the last releases we had it running in the last month or so, when we had quite sure the release date will not have a major delay. AFAIK, Paolo Leoni from the Art Team, who did the graphics for F10, expressed the interest to make them for F11 too. The artwork used in the Beta release (Greek landscape with temple) is going to be replaced with something completely different, so once we are settled on the wallpaper graphic, the counter can be made to fit it. Also, this showed up in my reading of the Fedora Planet this morning: http://blog.berkenpies.nl/?p=128 That was the updated version after I commented on his first try (http://blog.berkenpies.nl/?p=127). It seems he has no intention of making a version that will fit the fedoraproject.org layout, so we will do our own, complete with translations and everything.

Re: Boot Windows XP from high block number?
Hi David, I'm trying to triple boot Fedora 10, XP-64 bit, and xp-32 bit. I installed XP-32 bit, XP-64 bit (at this point, I could see both the Os in boot menu). Then I installed Fedora 10. However, after this, I could only see Fedora-10. Editing Grub.conf (from many suggestions) didn't help. Keep getting device read error messages. Then I bumped to ur post. Now, I'm a newbie in parted.

Re: view more or less?
round 03:18am on Friday, April 03, 2009 (UK time), Paul Ward scrawled: I was wanting to look at a file the other day and my colleague insisted I do not use less but view instead. I would be wary of colleagues who insist you do something - advise maybe but why should he insist. I thought about this but could not think of a good reason to use view over less. I assume by view he means looking at the file through the vim (vi) editor in read only mode? Although there is nothing wrong with this, you do need to know some vi commands to make use of it. Also you can't pipe into it, e.g you can't use view to do something like: $ dmesg | less In short they are different tools that have some overlap in what they can do, but they are not functionally equivalent.

Sorry, I picked runlevel 5 as an example, because most of the systems co-located with my fingermashers are graphical. The same applies to runlevel 3, except those machines generally don't have keyboards and monitors which restricts tinkering - I would prefer they are consistently booted and the option to hit i was not available - is there an easy way to turn it off that I have missed?

On F9 one press does not work, and multiple presses are needed. On F9 it's all a bit hit and miss. Rapid presses of the i key may work, sometimes a bit of delay inbetween keypresses work. As I say, on F9 it's a bit hit and miss. On F10, I can't get into interactive startup at all. As I said on an earlier post, getting into interactive startup is becoming more and more difficult. F8, and earlier are ok. F9, you have do multiple tries, but eventually get there. F10, from my personal experience, is impossible. It's really weird as all the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit scripts on F8, F9, and F10, appear to be identical. There has to be some easy fix here so that we can enter interactive startup in F10. Perhaps it's time to ask on the Fedora devel list. F10 on my netbook - I started rapid taps of 'i' as soon as the BIOS screen disappeared and Fedora started. Interactive mode came up as expected.

Most computer keyboards transmit to the computer a key down and key up for each key.

It goes detected as: shift pressed a pressed a released shift released If one doesn't make the difference between press and release, ie. detect only presses, it would be next to impossible to type combinations like ctrl+alt+shift+f3 or such. Switch to runlevel 3, execute showkey and play. ;-) This is true for modifiers as well (shift, control, etc). All keys are born equal (the keyboard democracy principle). Software decides which keys are to be interpreted as modifiers. Shift, ctrl, alt, menu, win, etc are a matter of convention --- if you code at a level low enough (ie. capture all keypresses and releases straight from the kernel keyboard driver) you can make any key behave as a modifier.

There is some information already at http://userbase.kde.org/KPhotoAlbum Nearly forgot to reply: thanks for this, I didn't know about UserBase at all. The Image::Kimdaba perl module sounds like it might be worth a look and there's mention on that page of a possible export to JAlbum (which is what I used to use and looks fantastic, but just doesn't do photo management). I don't use it myself, but if you tell me exactly what you want to do but can't, I may be able to find out for you the best way to achieve it. Well, I want to do two things. One is manage a photo collection, KPhotoAlbum doesn't look as nice as f-spot, but its tagging abilities are far closer to what I actually want (people, location, custom categories). The other is be able to export web albums and I have a slight preference for static html to LAMP for that because then I can put them on CDs and they are simpler to transfer between webhosts. I currently use JAlbum for that, but it's quite heavily based on putting albums into folders whereas a better solution for me would be to create albums based on tags. JAlbum can create beautiful albums http://jalbum.net/browse/featured/album/94706/ so if I can get them talking to each other that would be great. It also does a few useful things like allow picture metadata to be included in the page. KPhotoAlbum's built-in HTML generation is coded into the application, so I'd have to patch it and run my own build to make changes. Alternatively the kibiplugins for HTML generation are done with XSLT and CSS, so there's a degree of flexibility there, though they don't seem to get much information passed from KPhotoAlbum itself. Both currently produce very plain albums, the kibiplugins exports produce albums called 'unnamed collection' or something along those lines. The Perl module sounds interesting, I write quite a lot of Perl so I can probably do something with that. If anyone has photo management software they use that generates good html albums I'd like to give it a try, otherwise I'm happy to have a bit more of a play with KPA myself to see if it can be persuaded to do what I want. -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Re: view more or less?
Hello, just a quick question? I was wanting to look at a file the other day and my colleague insisted I do not use less but view instead. I thought about this but could not think of a good reason to use view over less. I think less is more than more and view is less then more or less than less? Do you agree? I've been a fan of less over more or other pagers for a while. I typically do not use (or recommend that people use) view, as it is, in essence, vi/vim. The potential problem is that, being vi/vim, it opens a temp file in /var/tmp for every file opened within. This can be troublesome if perusing large log files, which may cause the /var filesystem to fill up, and can cause applications or even the system to experience problems. Less does not make use of disk space in this way, thereby having less of a potential impact due to important filesystems filling up. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscr...@bubbanfriends.org -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

My previous post was to make a specific point that counter to common advice I'd found it unnecessary to install multiple OS in a specific physical order on disk as often stated, if one is prepared to rearrange the partition table (and repair the mbr) afterward. I felt this might be useful to primarily linux users who might want to try install another OS after. But this is not your situation here, you have installed your XP's first. So I think my previous post is not relevant to you at all. I have zero experience with or interest in XP and its installation scripts. Also, I do not use lvm, I have not seen a grub.conf for an lvm system. So your situation is beyond me in several aspects and I expect there will be other readers here who can assist you better than I. Having said that, here's my suggestions. Your situation is different to the original poster, so it is a good idea to begin a new thread rather than hijacking this one onto your issue. I think parted is not the solution you need; I suggest you focus on grub. It is powerful and if configured correctly should be able to boot your other OS. However some of these other OS seem to be written assuming they are the only OS on the box. A quick google/linux search boot logical partition for similar situation to yours, first result thread [1] included: - If you _must_ get this grub setup to work, I suspect you'll have to find some way to overcome XP's code tracking features that maintains guids and timestamps (and who knows what else) about the boot loader code/files in the registry. The code you copied no longer matches up with what XP's registry values say it should be. - So there might be other (non-Fedora) issues for you to research elsewhere, even if you do get those OS to boot. The reason I did that search is that it looked odd to me that you have only one primary partition after your two XP installs, and that your extended/logical partitions are physically first on the drive. Here I've always used a primary partition for each OS, but maybe thats not necessary. Other readers might confirm what is normal for multiple XP installs. Editing Grub.conf (from many suggestions) didn't help. What forum was that discussion? Can you provide a link, to save us going over the same here? If you want to seek help here getting your Fedora install grub to boot those other OS, it will help to know: 1) In parted output, which partition is XP32 ? 2) In parted output, which partition is XP64 ? 3) Your entire grub.conf 4) (Your parted info again if you start a new thread). 5) The *exact* error message you see in each failed boot situation.

Re: Interactive startup on F10. Pressing I doesn't work
Clark Martin wrote: Alan Evans wrote: I would have thought that the key-repeat wouldn't differ functionally from rapidly tapping the key. Most computer keyboards transmit to the computer a key down and key up for each key. This is true for modifiers as well (shift, control, etc). The computer decides if you've held the key down long enough to repeat and also determines how fast to repeat the key. Which means if the keyboard buffer is cleared AFTER you've pressed the key the program won't see the key down and therefore won't consider a key as repeating. In normal use when the buffer is never cleared typing fast and key repeat would be equivalent. Are you suggesting that the init script clears the keyboard buffer at the driver level? How would it even do that? If I write an application that's reading stdin, that app is certainly not worrying about key press events and key release events to determine if modifiers are at play. It's just taking chars out of stdin. As I understand it, if that application clears the buffer then it's doing something along the lines of calling flush(). This doesn't cause the system-level keyboard driver to forget that a key has been pressed. That driver continues injecting chars into stdin even after my app has flushed the buffer. I would think that it would be considerably harder to detect a modifier press or release in a shell script. Maybe I'm completely wrong about all that... -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

UDF 2.5 and Blu-ray video creation tools
It's my understanding that kernel 2.6.26 brought UDF 2.5 support, but I am not sure what tools have the capability to create a UDF 2.5 ISO to burn to a DVD or Blu-ray disc in a video format. My intentions are to be able to playback AVCHD video on a Blu-ray player. I've stumbled on a mkudfiso project[1] but I haven't tried using it yet. I can't seem to find any Blu-ray authoring utilities for creating a Blu-ray directory structure either. Are there any better tools? As far as Google is concerned, Blu-ray authoring seems to be an entirely Windows or Mac thing.

Fedora internet connection issues
Hey Guys, Recently I bought a hp computer with vista installed. Later I shrinked vista to make room for my Fedora 7 installation. Installation was successful. However, both wired and wireless connection became problematic. The network adapter for wired connection is realteck RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) and the adapter for the wireless connection is Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter. From the installation status under Fedora, I can see the wired adapter is active. But the connection is most of the time disconnected. The wireless connection never was active. I know I should choose to install the adapter driver, but since using the wired network became a problem, I have no way of install the driver. Any idea on how to solve the problems?

I wonder if I should burn the DVD under Fedora? Thanks You should use an ISO burning software in Vista or in Fedora.

Sorry for the length. My goal is to run NS-2 on a non-network connected Pentium 4 box. I have downloaded the ISO install for Fedora 10. It has installed (appears to be running correctly). I have downloaded the ns-2 all in one package. I've built it in the past on a windows box, but was unable to get the environment variables set up correctly to run it. This is my motivation for going to the stand alone system. I hope to be able to have complete control over the environment without the Windows system interfering. The ns-2 installation script is failing to build the package correctly. I think it is because I don't have my environment set up correctly. It does not seem to be finding the c compiler. I have built a hello.c file and updated these environment variables: PATH has been extended to include: /usr/libexec/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.3.2 and . C_INCLUDE_PATH has been added as: /usr/lib/syslinux/com32/include LIBRARY_PATH has been added as: /usr/lib/syslinux/com32/include I'm sourcing the setup script and checking the new setting w/ env. At a terminal prompt (under a user account) I type gcc hello.c It seems to be finding the compiler, but not the include files or libraries of some kind. I get the following: fileno fdopen fclose fread fwrite fflush main Execution times (seconds) followed by a table of compiler results. I do not get an a.out file. Finally a question. Assuming my diagnosis of environment variable mistakes is correct, what are the correct environment variables to set and set to what? Is there a c compiler included in the ISO fedora 10 disk install? Should I be building gcc? That seems to need a c compiler too. I have downloaded that package and tried, but failed with similar results. If I'm way off base, please point me in a new direction.

RM to mp3 script
Hello,
Ok forsome reason this script will not convert the rm stream to an mp3
if it runs in the cron.
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to fix this.
The script is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
DATE=`date +%A`
SHOWNAME=$1
TSPLIT=$4
ALBUM=$2
DIR=/usr/local/bin/bbc_radio1
RECORDINGPATH=${DIR}/
WEBDIR=/var/www/bbc/

_record() {
echo -- $HISTORY
echo Start REC: `date` $HISTORY
echo Recording $SHOWNAME $HISTORY
echo Length: `expr $DURATION / 60 ` minutes $HISTORY
cd ${RECORDINGPATH}
mplayer -dumpstream -playlist

${RECORDINGPATH}${SHOWNAME}.dump -vc dummy -vo null
MPLAYPROCESS=$!
echo $MPLAYPROCESS /tmp/radio1.pid
echo PID: $MPLAYPROCESS $HISTORY
Kill process when show finished.
at now + $ATTIME minutes EOF
kill -9 $MPLAYPROCESS
EOF
sleep $DURATION echo sleep finsihed $HISTORY
kill -9 $MPLAYPROCESS echo PID Killed $HISTORY
echo Stop REC: `date` $HISTORY
ls -lh ${RECORDINGPATH}${SHOWNAME}.dump | awk ' { print Showname:
$8 Size: $5 } ' $HISTORY
}
_convert() {
# convert stream to mp3 format

}
_id3tag() {
mp3info -d ${WEBDIR}/${DATE}/*.mp3
mp3info -a $ALBUM -l $SHOWNAME -t $SHOWNAME ${WEBDIR}/${DATE}/*.mp3
echo ID3tag set
}

rm -v $RECORDINGPATH$SHOWNAME.dump
}
_record
_convert
#_splitmp3

I dont want to convert to a wav then mp3 as the files sizes will be
huge for the wav.
I run the script as:
xx xx * * * script.sh Show1 BBC 15 5
I understand parts of the script don't work yet but its the conversion
I am focusing on.
you can see I have tried some other variations of the conversion all
fail to work.
It only converts for a small time before stopping.
Thanks

It's easier to just bypass the crashing script than to debug things from single user or rescue mode (which don't boot into a fully usable system). I've used interactive boot occasionally to skip hanging init modules (sometimes my own fault, adding bad stuff to rc.local is not a good idea ;-) ).

Fedora Screen Resolution Won't Go Above 720x400
I am new to fedora and to linux in general. I know a little bit of bash because I have a mac but not enough. I just installed fedora core 10 i386 netinstall (the dvd-rom drive on this computer is thoroughly dead: stops reading and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in every thirty of so seconds), on an AMD with 1GB of RAM and a GeForce 5200 FX. When I try to change the resolution, the drop-down only goes to 720x400. I tried installing the nvidia driver and it broke X beyond what my linux friend can fix. I did a fresh install and now I have the same problem. Please help.

Everyone,
After reviewing some of the posts on this lists it appears to me that
sendmail is having trouble finding the network at start time, and unless
restarted or forced to read the queue it does not transfer any mail.
I have written a little perl script to restart sendmail after it
recognizes the network as being up. This has solved the problem.
I do have NetworkManager running, and could not figure out a way to do
this other than to restart sendmail. If you start this script in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local and create the appropriate sub directory as
the /var/log/smile it should at least bypass the problem with
NetworkManager.

Not a good plan, FC8 is already no longer updated (not even with security fixes), and F9 will follow soon. You should upgrade all the way to F10. And you should also not expect to keep it as long as you kept FC3, you're just asking for your machine to get broken into by running ancient software with many known unpatched security issues!
