About the Anaconda image there's no refence needed 'cause I drawed it but my own as a vector part if you need it I can upload it on the wiki too. And for the Plymouth screen I'm not sure of what I have to do... I have to clean the anaconda header too today. see you later with some new stuffs.

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? I think maybe we should add several tasks on the schedule for explicitly blogging / otherwise announce (maybe via Fedora weekly news, any other ideas?) the current status of the artwork so it's known more widely than this list next time around. I supported changing to the new design even though it has affected the schedule. I wonder how we should handle this in the future - it has affected the schedule negatively. We really need high-quality work like Samuele's work and I'm quite grateful for it, but I do not want to make a past-the-deadline-bend-the-rules thing a habit. o_O Jon McCann had some good ideas about doing more outreach to artists/photographers in the future and maybe doing a contest to try to get more artwork flowing in that he had shared with me a few weeks back. I think this might be a good new approach to try for F12. 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) Here's what I know, and I hope Samuele will keep us appraised of his status and plans as well. If we don't hear from him by Thursday, I will take this Friday (10 April) to try finish up everything on the list that needs finishing and I'll try to do it on the list and in IRC as much as possible to keep the commnunication open. If anybody has time on Friday to jump in and help out, by all means, let's do it. (And if there's no plymouth splash by Thursday morning I'll take some time on Thursday to mock that up for Charlie, hopefully that's enough time before he has to leave for his conference, let me know if not Charlie!) IMAGE LICENSE CONCERNS === First, I want to point out our source image license issues. I am not 100% confident that we're clear here because I'm not sure every image used is referenced and I am not sure about the attribution requirements of the authors involved, but here's my understanding so far: 1) Spray paint brushes: http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/freebies/free-hi-res-spraypaint-photoshop-brushes-set-one http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/freebies/free-hi-res-spraypaint-photoshop-brushes-set-two Fedora Legal cleared these as Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 so they should be OK. 2) Rust Texture: Luca cleared these with the author, see email here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-March/msg00192.html The author explicitly mentioned he did not require attribution. 3) Lion photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tambako/494118044/ CC Attribution so shoudl be okay I have two more questions about this topic: 1) Do we know how tambako and spoongraphics require that they be attributed to we can properly attribute them? I am not confident a mention to their works on our wiki would be sufficient. Perhaps a mention in the wallpaper package spec or in the XML file that stores the metadata about the image for display in the GNOME background dialog/capplet? How should we attribute these authors? 2) Are there any other sources here that aren't being referenced and that we need to clear? I admittedly have not cracked open the source files yet, and I'll be pretty disappointed to find additional graphics that have not been referenced. There is a different lion image in the anaconda graphics. Where did it come from? TASK LIST STATUS (John, I apologize these are different than your numbering scheme.) 1.

I think I have some images that could do for nice wallpapers (mostly flower macros) and knowing about a deadline would be useful to prioritize some work (selection, gimping, upload). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

The ghostscript/conf.d/*map.zh_* files are a set of distribution-specific/value-added config files which tell ghostscript what default CJK fonts to use when pdf files containing CJK text but without embedded font is encountered. Have you tested this on rawhide yet? On older fedora systems, the config files tell ghostscript to use uming.ttf and ukai.ttf, because those are the fonts *available on the system*. Since upstream has migrated to ttc, and fedora now follow upstream to ship uming.ttc/ukai.ttc instead of uming.ttf/ukai.ttf, the config files now tell ghostscript to use font files which no longer exist. Could you please test on rawhide with installing cjkuni-fonts-ghostscript also? The problem is very well-understood and the solution well-characterised: the content of /usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/*.zh_* should always refer to available and valid font files on the system. When the font file names have changed, the config files should be updated to match. I should've updated all of them, and they are packed in cjkuni-fonts-ghostscript on rawhide. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

Probably you meant ($1 !~ /^(#|;)/)
Actually I didn't - hence my comment:
I've assumed that # and ; are comments and aren't allowed in the runlevel
descriptions.
# is definitely a comment
; this might be a comment
# I consider a comment - # is the first non-whitespace character
Because It's only matching on $1 and split on colons, then the only
conceivable bad match would be something like:
id#:5:initdefault:
hence the assumption that # is not allowed in the runlevel descriptions.

F10 guest on CentOS 5.3 host using KVM
I'm running CentOS 5.3 on a server with four virtual machines running on it, three running CentOS 5.3 and one running Fedora 10. I have just switched over to using KVM (kvm-0.84 and libvirt-0.6.1) rather than Xen because I want my F10 virtual machine to be able to use virtio. My CentOS virtual machines work perfectly, but the F10 virtual machine hangs at weird moments, most often in the first few seconds or minutes of booting. All machines are completely up-to-date. I've tested both with and without virtio enabled and have the same result. Any advice?

openvpn - urgent help requested!
I'm just about the depart for a week in Italy, and have set up openvpn to communicate from there with my server at home.

I removed this device and performed the action (my nightly builds) that seems to cause the reboot with distcc turned off, a samba share I normally have setup disabled, and all of the cluster nodes turned off. No reboot. Next I cleaned everything, enabled distcc, turned on the cluster node, and reran the build. No reboot. Next I cleaned everything, enabled the samba share, and reran the build. No reboot. I cleaned everything and went to bed. I left top running of a remote terminal so I could tell what process was running during the reboot. The machine rebooted :-( The time was 1:43 (very similar to other reboot times in my list above. So it wasn't the Belkin KVM switch. The top command indicates ld was running.

install to usb, when bios does not see usb?
Please bear with me on this newbie question, my install experience is quite limited. Is it possible to install to usb external disk when bios does not see usb? In an older thread Feb 21, 2009 Re: kubuntu vs fedora initrd init files, Mikkel responded: I have done it both ways - as a fresh install, and by taking a hard drive with an installed OS, and putting it in an external USB case, and the drive has always ended up as /dev/sda. This is much less of a problem if you are using LVM and/of partition labels then if you are mounting partitions directly. (As long as your LVM names do not collide! ie more then one VolGroup00.) By far, the easiest is to do a fresh, expert install to a USB drive - it will even do the proper Grub install so that you can boot off the USB drive directly on any system that supports booting from a USB drive. You can do this when moving an install to an external case, but it is much easier doing it at install time. Mikkel --is this advice re fresh, expert install relevant in my case where it appears that bios does not recognize my usb external disk? --if so, is that because the install cd/dvd will see the usb? ie despite the bios problem? --are you saying that it will do a proper Grub install to the usb MBR? your point being that then the usb disk could be booted off of another system whose bios does both recognize and support booting from USB drive? --with my current box where the bios doesnt see the USB, the proper Grub install to the usb MBR won't be seen?, ie wont interfere with booting my older installs (fc5,...) from the MBR on my sda scsi disk?
