I've added only the versions we actually have in the package - 16:10,
4:3 and 5:4, single and dual, one size per each. I noticed you also had

computer displays with this ratio (even though it is used on HD TVs).

BTW. the simple Greek style anaconda and first boot banners look

Re: Improving Leonidas Backgrounds

Hi Team,

just a bunch of (small) questions:
- Is the Lion-Head the official Background of F11?
- I want to create name plates with the LionHead as background for FUDCon
Berlin, if it's the official background
- T-shirt Design with the LionHead somewhere available?

Thanks for your reply

Gerold

 Go ahead. Use the .xcf posted earlier on the list.

 Not yet - I guess someone has to work on a simplified version using less

 Then maybe is a wise idea to provide both, this is the second time I 
 hear someone asking for the lion today (the other one was on #fedora-art).
 
Hmm... I can add that, but given that today is the final freeze (not
sure when exactly and whether any build I would have done today would
make it in) and this would not end up on the release CD/DVDs either, I
doubt I could ask for a freeze break just to add one subpackage (with
the wallpapers with lion on single screens as well). I think I have only
these two options:
1. wait if we are gonna do some further bugfixes to the artwork and add
them with it, or
2. make this a zero day update (note it would mean about 8MiB of updates
for _every_ user of leonidas-backgrounds, unless F11 would be Presto
enabled)

Any better insights, suggestions, ideas?

Re: Should generic-logos' system-logo-white.png be a smiling hot dog with arms and legs?

2009-04-14 Thread Ian Weller
On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 11:14:16PM +0300, Joonas Sarajärvi wrote:
 I recently noticed that the system-logo-white.png file in
 generic-logos is (imo) a quite weird and unprofessional-looking
 smiling hot dog with arms and legs. It is shown in the middle of the
 screen when booting the system on a machine where KMS works. I'd
 rather have something more neutral and Fedora-ish in the default boot
 screen, but I must replace fedora-logos with generic-logos on my
 custom spins of Fedora. Therefore, I filed a bug about it here:
 
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495561
 
 I already got one reply from Bill Nottingham, who noted that the
 generic logos were supposed to be replaced by the creators of the
 custom spins. He also noted that this is the first bug about the file,
 and replacing the image may be considered, if there is more pressure
 to do so.
 
 I think the current image may well have stayed under the radar due to
 the rarity of people replacing fedora-logos with generic-logos. Until
 now, it has also been quite rare to have KMS enabled, but F11 is going
 to greatly increase the visibility of the hot dog logo on systems with
 generic-logos.
 
 Note that I'm not creating my own distribution, so creating my own
 logo packages and repos for them is quite an overkill. I'd just like
 to share some custom Fedora spins with my friends and not have to show
 them an annoying and cheesy smiling hot dog right on boot.
 
 Do the people here think that the hot dog logo is good as it is, or
 should it maybe be changed to something more usual and maybe less
 annoying? I'd see no logo (a completely transparent png) a lot better
 than the current situation.
 
 I hope I didn't offend anyone with my dislike for the current picture.
 Thanks for reading this, hope to hear some other opinions on this.
 
If we don't make it obvious to people that they can change this logo
(whether via smiling hot dog or explicit documentation) then they won't
think they can change it.

Acceptable alternatives would not include Tux, IMHO, cuz it's not from
the Linux Foundation, and they kinda own the trademark. Also, a
transparent PNG doesn't make it known that, yes, there can be a logo
here. It's just simply not obvious enough.

A smiling face (see /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/emotes) or the
Computer icon in the default icon set would be good alternatives.

(Not to start a bikeshedding conversation or anything)

I think was some effort to get the remix logos packaged similarly to
the current fedora-logos and generic-logos, but afaik they aren't in
Rawhide yet.

The Fedora Remix mark would probably suit my use perfectly, but I
still think that even generic-logos should have good logos in it, too.

Of course, it can be argued that the hot dog is a good logo and it
would be very nice to have it show up on every boot. :-)

 Warren, how are you installing wqy-bitmap-fonts?  Through @chinese-support?

(Apparently)

 I guess one workaround may be to install wqy-zenhei-fonts in addition to
 [or instead of??] wqy-bitmap-fonts.  

Unfortunately wqt-zenhei overrides ja default font on ja desktop even...
so needs fixing too IMHO.

2009-04-14 Thread bugzilla
Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional
comments should be made in the comments box of this bug.

Summary: numerals aren't fixed-width in all sizes of sans font

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495820

   Summary: numerals aren't fixed-width in all sizes of sans font
   Product: Fedora
   Version: rawhide
  Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
  Severity: low
  Priority: low
 Component: dejavu-fonts
AssignedTo: nicolas.mail...@laposte.net
ReportedBy: c...@btinternet.com
 QAContact: extras...@fedoraproject.org
CC: nicolas.mail...@laposte.net,
fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com
Classification: Fedora


Description of problem:
in the default font and size used in firstboot the '5' digit is a slightly
different width, i think.  so in the 'date and time' settings screen the text
shuffles a bit as the seconds and minutes tick through 05/15/25 etc.

ah, actually, it looks like it's a hinting problem - this happens with 'full'
and 'medium' but not with 'slight' or 'none'.  not sure if that means it's a
problem with freetype rather than the font.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freetype-2.3.9-3.fc11.i586
dejavu-sans-fonts-2.29-2.fc11.noarch

How reproducible:
always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install fedora
2.in firstboot go to datetime screen
3.watch the time ticking and observe text layout

alternatively log in and enable seconds display and 12 hour mode on the panel
clock and watch that.

Actual results:
layout 'jiggles' as numbers change.

Expected results:
no jiggling.

Additional info:
i think this has been like this for a year at least.

2009-04-14 Thread Stefan Schlesinger

Hello Folks!

I'm writing you to let you know about my interest to join the FIG.

My name ist Stefan, I'm 23 Years old, living in Austria/Vienna and  
working as a
systems engineer at an Austrian ISP Company (we do a lot of sponsoring  
for F/OSS
projects as well ;-). We  mostly use Debian/Linux for our business,  
but I used

RedHat/Fedora before. ;-)

Currently I have about 6 years of experiance as a system  
administrator. I'm pretty
familiar with all sorts of sysop tasks (networking, virtualization,  
scripting in

perl/python/bash, ticketing systems, infrastructure automation eg.
puppet/cfengine, ldap, web technoligies, mail, dns, databases,  
packaging,

technical documentation, etc).

I couldn't decide on which FIG group to choose yet, but eventually  
fedora-web or

fedora-noc would be suitable...


Feel free to contact me, I'm on IRC (freenode/#fedora-admin/sts) as

I'll rework that into a better test plan this week). I'm not sure if we
can ask the test day participants to go through the process of
configuring their own instance and even if they had one on their local
machine, it wouldn't allow them to test the online caching feature of
SSSD properly.

There are several options, the best of them is to have an LDAP server
with test data available for the community to test on.

Therefore, I'd like to ask the Fedora Infrastructure team to provide us
with a temporary test box where we could install and configure FDS. The
box would be needed until the test day (2009-04-30), can be removed
afterwards.

I understand that getting a root access for the box might not be
possible - I can provide an install script and an LDIF file that would
bootstrap the FDS instance in that case. However, getting a sudo for
controlling the FDS instance (ldapmodify, restart the service, view the
logs) would be very nice.

Goals:
Provide the test day participants with an easy test environment.

== Specific resources needed == 
N/A

== Additional Info (Optional) == 
As per the time *before* the test day, it would be handy if we had the
test instance for 1-2 weeks prior to the test day.

I hope all the necessary information is included either here or in the
ticket itself. I'll be happy to answer questions about this RFR.

Thank you for the consideration,
Jakub Hrozek

rpm-4.6.x friends for RHEL5 (was: hosts for rawhide build chroots - different rpm versions?)

2009-04-14 Thread Axel Thimm
Hi,

  AFAIK the build hosts are RHEL5 (or maybe F10 by now?). At any rate
  the rpm used in rawhide is quite different than the ones from the
  hosts, how has this been solved in the build hosts? Has the hosting OS
  upgraded its rpm to be compatible to all hosted chroots? Or is the rpm
  within the chroot used?
 
  I'm asking in a double context: First I'd like to understand if smart
  can properly handle chroots of rawhide/F11 on F10/RHEL5 hosts. Anders
  Björklund (in the Cc, please keep him there on replies) has put a
  great deal of effort to have smart working on F10 and F11, and a smart
  version for managing F11 and later chroots on F10 or earlier would be
  great.
 
  And second I'd like to know how to setup a build environment for F11
  for getting some ATrpms packages out.
 
 
 we are running a version of rpm 4.6.0 on rhel5.  This is only so mock can 
 populate chroots with rpms with stronger hashes rhel5's rpm doesnt support.  
 All srpm creation now takes place in chroots so features of the target rpm 
 are 
 always available. 
 
 rpm in F-10 updates is compatible with the new rpm features. but rpm from F-9 
 and RHEL4 and 5 can not handle the new rpm at all. you cannot make chroots on 
 them with rawhide rpms.
 
 
 you could use koji on F-10/rawhide  or F-9/RHEL5 by replacing the hosts rpm 
 to 
 build your packages.

Thanks for the explanation, Dennis. Can I get these tailored rpm rpms
from somewhere? I just tried rebuilding rpm from rawhide on RHEL5 and
the dependencies look endless.

 That is possible, for example we have a smolt wiki seperate from the

 Yeah we can do that no problem.  Can it wait until after the beta launches
 though?  (the 24th)  It'll just be easier that way.

Still swamped on my end, but having a snapshot of the current fedora
wiki database that I can load into a test instance would help speed up
efforts to identify whether semantic is the short-term (F12) solution
for QA.

Any updates on grabbing a db snapshot of the fedoraproject.org wiki?
Does this seem possible?

[PATCH] squashfs broken when pageszie blocksize

2009-04-14 Thread Doug Chapman
Not sure if we are too late for F11 on this or not but this patch
is needed to be able to mount squashfs (as used by anaconda) on
ia64.  Our goal is to be able to build Fedora on ia64 with no
custom SRPMs so it would be appreciated if this could be pulled
in.



Squashfs is broken on any system where the pageszie is larger than either
the block size of the squashfs image or larger than the metadata size (8192).
This is easily fixed by ensuring cache-pages is always  0.

 It would be needed for ppc64 kernels using a 64KiB pagesize as well
 from what I can see.  Sounds like a good idea to me.

Committed to the F11 branch. Not needed for F10 and earlier, since they're
still using squashfs v3, even for the 2.6.29.x builds. Will just let it
trickle in via upstream for the devel branch.

This seems to be working OK now without any mixer tweaking on the F11

We permit code that only does demuxing. It can't also encode/decode. If

shared libraries (not working ld.so.conf.d)

2009-04-14 Thread David Hláčik
Hello guys,

I have patched my own libraries and override locations to them in ld.so.conf.d .

Let's just see an example:

[r...@david ld.so.conf.d]# cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/cairo-lcd-x86_64.conf
/usr/lib64/cairo-lcd


Now , when I will execute ldd to check for shared library dependencies :

1) gnome-terminal

[r...@david ~]# ldd /usr/bin/gnome-terminal |grep libcairo
    libcairo.so.2 = /usr/lib64/cairo-lcd/libcairo.so.2
(0x0032ef00) - OK

this is totally ok and works as expected , but :

2) gimp

[r...@david ~]# ldd /usr/bin/gimp |grep libcairo
    libcairo.so.2 = /usr/lib64/libcairo.so.2 (0x0032ee80) -
Totally WRONG

this is wrong and looks for original library instead as it should.

My question is : What is the cause of this problem? Does gimp and
others uses hard-linked libraries and ld.so.conf is for nothing??

Thanks in advance!
David

 Thanks. I am running F10 but I never really understood what the purpose of 
 the milter is. I am running with both the clamav milter as well as 
 spamass-milter. The spamass-milter rejects the mail before reception 
 completes. I'm not really sure what the clamav milter does. A very small 
 percentage of my email is caught by clamav and when it happens, I get the 
 message with some indicator that the virus was removed.
 
 Also, I asked about all this because it complains so loudly when it starts 
 and when the nightly logs are run.
 
clamav-milter is a mail filter that tries to scan incoming/outgoing mail
for viruses and other threats in the mail.  Clamav-Milter though doesn't
remove a virus, it should be stopping the mail message completely.  If
you are seeing a message saying the virus was removed then either you
are misreading the message or you have some other source scanning your
email for you as well.
I know it complains very LOUD when this happens.  My system has been
complaining for months now, but I finally took the plunge and managed to
get the clamav package the rework needed to get everything working.
I've been using FC1 since it came out and have been maintaining the
packages on the box for many years.

I'd give it a few more weeks or so before giving up hope though on the
community having a 0.95.1 release ready.

If you get tired, you can try the source package here to compile and
test on your system.  Though I'd keep a backup of the installation you
have, just in case.

 If you look at /etc/passwd you will see the gid field there is mock
 (494). Eg:
 
   $ grep cameron /etc/passwd
   cameron:x:1000:1000::/home/cameron:/bin/zsh
 
 The -g option to useradd specifies the primary group, which is recorded
 in the passwd file, not the group file. A UNIX user has a primary group
 which comes from the passwd file and secondary groups which come from
 the group file. Absent the setgid bit on a directory, new files and
 directories a process makes get their group ownership from the primary
 group. _Access_ (open, cd, etc) is governed by uid and all the groups.

So from a UNIX programming perspective, then, a test for group membership 
is then:

  1. is the user listed in the group membership list

  OR

  2. is the user's primary group equal to the target gid

That seems strange; it means that the group file is not canonical for 
establishing group permissions.

Anne,

This weekend the computer locked up twice yesterday with no-one logged

I am not getting anything in any of the logs to point to a problem other 
than the odd disk message related to the controller.  Some random kernel 
oops over the last two months where I get a pop-up about sending the

With my years of using RedHat and Fedora, this has been the worst

Network Routing

2009-04-14 Thread Thom Paine
I have a server with 3 nics in it.
eth0 is local lan
eth1 is public internet
eth2 is private

I have most of the routing working in that I can send and receive
traffic that I need on the private network from the server, but not on
the workstations. I am using iptables for my firewalling, and have the
route statements based on IP's for the eth2 interface and this works
from the server. The default gateway is the eth1 interface.

On the workstations, I need to be able to route out the eth2 interface
of the server when I need a specific webpage. I'm thinking I need to
add an iptables statement to my firewall to get that to work from the
workstations, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Basically, if I type www.site.com in a web browser on a workstation,
it needs to hit eth2 on the server and get that page.

Anyone know how to do that? Am I even on the right track?

Thanks.

Try appending one of the settings (vga=value) to kernel line in grub
to optimize viewing the screen.


Another option is to have the kernel tell you what modes your chipset
and display support. When you get to GRUB edit your kernel line and
append vga=ask to it. When you reboot it will give you a list of
supported modes. You can type in the 3 digit number to try a mode or
type SCAN to see if it can detect additional modes. Once you find one
you like, change the ask portion to the number of the mode but be
sure to put 0x in front of it.

For example, on my desktop I use 1024x768 and I believe that's 318 so
I would append vga=0x318 to the kernel line in grub.

I have read a good deal and come to the conclusion that almost all of this is 
related to video driver issues.  You are probably aware of the fact that the 
first indication of the problem came when up to date NVidia drivers were found 
to make KDE 4 crawl.  After talks between KDE devs and NVidia devs it was 
found the KDE 4 was using parts of the driver that had previously been assumed 
to work, but since nothing really tested them, it was theoretical.  NVidia 
then set out to work on the problem, and I believe that there has been a 
significant improvement.  I'm not sure what the situation is with ATi drivers, 
but those of us with Intel drivers are suffering a great deal.  In my case it 
is just horribly slow, but I'm luckier than those that have suffered lockups.

It's worth trying some of the tips at http://userbase.kde.org/GPU-Performance 
- but what helps on one system seems to be totally wrong on another, so it's 
trial and error.  However, many people have been able to get a considerable 
improvement this way.

I don't think that akonadi is in any way implicated in this.  You may well be 
right that you don't need it, but I don't think it has any impact whatsoever 
on this case.

 Sounds like it has much in common with anacron which already comes
 with fedora. 

It does have much in common with anacron, but anacron lacks one feature
which would be very useful: the ability to get it to start running its
jobs when commanded to.  I do a fair amount of audio transcription, and
system housekeeping creates too much of a load to allow it to record
audio reliably.  So I would sometimes like to sometimes get system
housekeeping over with immediately.  This is possible with anacron: log
in as root; kill the instance of anacron started at system startup; then
run anacron -n.  But it's rather tedious, and fcron provides tools to
do this.  So...

Any info about fcron would be very welcome.

you have not inadvertantly left a camera or microphone open/on.

For a time these bugs were so common at a company I once worked at that

Re: Firefox 3 hogging 90% CPU, can anything be done about this?

2009-04-14 Thread Hugh Caley
I'm not sure I agree with all of the arguments about oh closed source, 
don't use it.  The fact is that Firefox allows the use of proprietary 
plugins, for better or worse.  It doesn't prevent me from using things 
that don't agree with it's own license (thankfully; I'd rather have this 
crappy Flash integration than none).  Open-source alternatives are fine, 
but try to find a new machine that doesn't use an ATi or Nvidia graphics 
card.  And I can't imagine the time it would take to come up with a 
complete drop in replacement for Flash.


Proprietary is here; we need to deal with it.  Now, my own point is that 
a single Linux user has about zip power to influence Adobe.  I think 
Redhat and to a lesser extent the Mozilla organization has a lot more.  
There should be direct talks between these commercial operations about 
problems like these, and if there have been, it'd be nice to know.


Also, Firefox allows a single bad plugin to make the brower unusable.  
Maybe it shouldn't do that?  Seems to me there's a legitimate argument 
to be made there.


I don't think the that's proprietary, deal with it arguments are helpful.

 I think it would be a good thing if Fedora and Mozilla/Firefox talked 
 with Adobe about fixing this.



just so you understand that Adobe ships Flash (and of course Adobe
Reader and everything else) in what we tend to refer to as a binary blob
and thus only they retain the source code. While some of the Adobe
software might be free in terms of no cost, they aren't free as in open
source and so the only set of eyeballs that ever looks at the program
code is theirs.

The distinction is a very important one. Adobe has sole responsibility
for compatibility as they can download the source code for Mozilla
Firefox and fully understand how to implement their software in Firefox.
The responsibility completely lies with Adobe and if you are unhappy,
you should be complaining to Adobe, not the list. The list might help
you with some workarounds but that's going to be as far as it goes.

The ultimate solution would be to use the open source variants (perhaps
gnash) because then you could participate in the software development.

No one from Fedora or Mozilla software development is going to waste
their time on Adobe proprietary software that they can't even see the
source code to possibly make a knowledgeable suggestion.

 card.  And I can't imagine the time it would take to come up with a 
 complete drop in replacement for Flash.

Probably a lot less now than before as a lot of the documentation has
finally been published - presumably because Adobe finally realised that
a mostly open microsoft spec versus a totally proprietary Adobe one was a
bad idea ;). I'd rather reimplement Flash than Nvidia drivers - by a
large margin.

 Also, Firefox allows a single bad plugin to make the brower unusable.  
 Maybe it shouldn't do that?  Seems to me there's a legitimate argument 
 to be made there.

FC10 uses the plugger stuff to try and keep them apart (its important for
security too) however the interface plugins used is a very old, rather
inelegant hack from way back when. Easy for firefox to move from it (and
indeed it basically has with the extensions model of its own) but your
proprietary plugins don't move themselves.

 I don't think the that's proprietary, deal with it arguments are helpful.

Unfortunately that is reality for a lot of this. There are some things
you can do to isolate misbehaving plugins but there are a lot of things
you can't fix that easily including some of the less nice properties of
the flash plugin.

Increasingly flash isn't needed. The javascript DOM can do a lot in
javascript that used to justify flash. With SVG graphics much of the
animation and gaming is going that way, with Firefox and HTML now going
the theora path the video will become less important too.

That list plus the gid are the lists a process is in.

The main affect is that group membership is determined when a process starts

Q about installing F10 from Live DVD

2009-04-14 Thread Dean S. Messing

A colleague of mine is interested in trying Linux Fedora 10 on a new
machine he's purchased. He asked me to help him.  I thought I'd try
the Live install of which I've read, but have never done before.  It
seems like a fast way to install and time-to-install is a bit limited.

I looked at the Installation Guide at 
docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/index.html
but it didn't seem to answer my questions.  Maybe I missed it.

So ...

I presume that the machine will just come up, running in-memory from
the Live Image on the DVD. (Is that right?) So, how does one get the
in-memory system onto a root partition?  Does the Anaconda Installer
get involved in the process so that a regular install occurs using
the Live data as source?

Pointers to instructions will be appreciated.

I've copied my colleague so that he can see for himself what helpful
chaps y'all are. :-)

Thanks
Dean

cameron:x:1000:1000::/home/cameron:/bin/zsh
  
  The -g option to useradd specifies the primary group, which is recorded
  in the passwd file, not the group file. A UNIX user has a primary group
  which comes from the passwd file and secondary groups which come from
  the group file. Absent the setgid bit on a directory, new files and
  directories a process makes get their group ownership from the primary
  group. _Access_ (open, cd, etc) is governed by uid and all the groups.
 
 So from a UNIX programming perspective, then, a test for group membership 
 is then:
 
   1. is the user listed in the group membership list
 
   OR
 
   2. is the user's primary group equal to the target gid
 
 That seems strange; it means that the group file is not canonical for 
 establishing group permissions.
 
 C
 
 
Not strange at all. In this case from the view of the group file some
othere user had that group rpeviosuly as its primary group so thew group
file just lists those users in the group. In this case the user entry
just added will appear second in the group file entry.. Seems ok to me.

Thanks Kam.  I don't yet have it (which is why I didn't know).  So I
take it the install from the live-cd is just an ordinary

Yes, but because of its nature, we only have few ways to deal with it.
If we're lucky, it works.  If we're not, it doesn't, and we probably
can't do anything about it (we can only do workarounds if we know how to
use it, even if we don't know how it works, and some things just don't
give you all the information you need).  If we're more unlucky, we can't
do a damn thing about it.

 Now, my own point is that a single Linux user has about zip power to
 influence Adobe.  I think Redhat and to a lesser extent the Mozilla
 organization has a lot more.  There should be direct talks between
 these commercial operations about problems like these, and if there
 have been, it'd be nice to know.

I wouldn't be surprised if Redhat, et al, have tried to deal with closed
source companies.  I also wouldn't be surprised if they don't have a
great deal of luck, either.
 
 Also, Firefox allows a single bad plugin to make the brower unusable.
 Maybe it shouldn't do that?  Seems to me there's a legitimate argument
 to be made there.

Yes, though you're chatting to the wrong people, now.  That's a Firefox
issue, and you'd need to take it up with them.

Have a look at Google's browser.  Or, since it's not for Linux, have a
look at what they say about their browser:  Tabs run as independent
processes.  One can't crash the other.  You can kill one without
stuffing up the others, etc.

There are a few differences:

* The Live CD is a CD (obviously). You can run it directly or from a USB
stick (if your machine has no optical drive, as most netbooks don't).

* Running the Live CD lets you check that the basic hardware (video
card, networking etc.) will work acceptably before installing. And you
can run it without touching your hard disk if you still haven't made up
your mind.

* The distro DVD might be a lot harder for some people to download
simply because it's much larger. Also, it's *not* a live system. It's
for installation or rescue.

* Once you install from the Live CD you'll get a smaller system (e.g.
Gnome or KDE but not both, no Open Office etc. etc.) and will then have
to add stuff you want via yum.

* The DVD version will already have most of what you need (all the same
the first thing you should do after installation is to run yum
update.)

Smaller disc to download, in the first place.  But if you want more than
it provides, there's more to download later on.  However, since there's
probably been a load of updates since the disc was created, you may face
that anyway, when you do an update after the install.

NB:  The live disc is only a test of whether a system can boot the live
disc.  I've used systems which worked fine on a hard drive install, but
not on the live disc.

The best thing about live CDs are they are small downloads and you can
choose a spin that you want. For example if you prefer XFCE you need
not bother about installing Gnome or KDE stuff that you don't need.

There is one downside though, you don't get to choose the packages in
the live CD that gets installed. So if you want to exclude any of the
packages, you have to remove it once everything is installed. (not
sure about this part, so correct me if I am wrong)

And a few cautionary remarks:
1. Make sure you have enough RAM in your system. Live CDs don't do
well with systems with a small RAM. 2 gigs is okay imo.
2. If you have a very new graphics card (like my HD4870), GUI _won't_
work. You would need to do a text install. (No scares, I found console
graphics pretty cool and easy to navigate through)

Thats it. And a good hearty welcome to your friend. :)

Re: Total Number of Emails Managed By Thunderbird

2009-04-14 Thread Tim
Tim:
 Wouldn't it just be counting the totals from the index of each
 folder, not counting all the messages?

Jerry Feldman:
 Certainly more attractive to read the index files, but still costly. 
 Remember that there also could be imap folders.

I suppose it would depend on the IMAP server.  Do some keep their own
indexes?  I can't see any evidence of Dovecot doing that when it's
storing mail in mailspool files.

I would have thought a mail client would have been keeping a running
count, adding to it as it goes along.  Though, if you used two different
clients, at different times, that wouldn't work.

Running gparted from Live CD

2009-04-14 Thread Patrick O'Callaghan
After installing F10 on my netbook I decided to reorganize the
partitions to gain space for Fedora and reduce that available to
Windows. I booted the Live CD (actually a Live USB pendrive) and used
yum to install gparted on the running system.

However gparted won't let me move the extended hd partition where I
installed Fedora. It claims that at least one of the sub-partitions is
mounted, but I can't see it listed under 'mount' and don't understand
how it can be mounted if I'm running from the pendrive and haven't
explicitly mounted it myself.

Any thoughts?

poc

PS I also tried the live gparted download but it has video problems on
this machine and is unusable.

I guess you see the system running on the CD -

and this gives you some confidence that it will transfer to the hard disk

Problems with system-config-printer and system-config-display (Fedora 10)

2009-04-14 Thread Bryan Zimmer
Greetings, everyone.

I am writing to ask advice for system-config-display and 
system-config-printer.

In the past, I had no trouble running these commands. Within the last 3 days, I 
bought a new flat-screen monitor and tried to install a new printer.

When I ran system-config display and system-config-printer,  I got the 
following error messages:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py, line 30, in 
module
import dbus
ImportError: No module named dbus

Traceback (most recent call last):

import rhpxl.videocard
  File /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/rhpxl/videocard.py, line 18, in 
module
import dbus
ImportError: No module named dbus



I have what look like dbus.py modules for various applications:

This is from locate dbus.py:



/usr/lib/yum-plugins/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py
/usr/lib/yum-plugins/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.pyc
/usr/lib/yum-plugins/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.pyo
/usr/lib/yum-plugins/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/pkdbus.py
/usr/lib/yum-plugins/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/pkdbus.pyc
/usr/lib/yum-plugins/python2.5/site-packages/packagekit/pkdbus.pyo



I don't know what the problem could be? Perhaps a version inconsistency in 
python itself versus this module? 

I used yum to reinstall both packages, but still came up with the same error 
messages. Does anyone have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Baz

 Gene,
 
 Did you open a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com for this update?
 
 tar-1.22 is in F-11.  It should be no problem to get a version in F-10.
 I'll be happy to do it, presuming that the package owner grants me
 sufficient privilege to do so.

 I may have been premature with this squawk John, both Dustin and I
 miss-read the tar ChangeLog, and that option IS in 1.20 unless fedora
 removed it when they built it for the rpm in the repos.  Can anyone answer
 that detail please?

AFAICT it is there.

Hth...?

John

Maybe John,  maybe not.  The next time fedora/udev, or the kernel, decides to 
re-enumerate the disks in this system is when I can say for sure.  If it goes 
by without driving tar out of its mind when instructed to check level 1, 2, 3 
or even 4 for backup levels, that will be good.  However, I just recently had 
a situation where all 4 of the levels it normally checks the estimates of when 
planning this backup session, were all reported to be the same size as a level 
0.  There is no way in tuncket that 95GB of data is gonna fit on a 20GB tape  
the only thing I can do is fire off a script that runs as many as 8 backups in 
a row each time I run it, just to get caught back up.

Re: Resizing with gparted for Fedora installation

2009-04-14 Thread Mark Ryden
Hello,
  Still I am a little bewildered. I googled and read about it; still
here is my dillema:
there are 2 options which I consider:
1) running gparted from a Linux LiveCD, freeing space from the vista partition.
then rebooting, making sure window vista can start, and then installing Linux
on the freed space.
2) resizing while installing Linux.
Suppose I have the rescue window CDs.
which options is better ?

Regards,
Mark

 My questions are:
 1) Is it safe to do resizing with gparted ?
 2) I saw in the web in some post :
 run:

 NTFS volumes

 3) This can be done also by ntfsresize, thus:
 ntfsresize -s 20G /dev/sda1

 Is ntfsresize -s 20G any better ? safer? or is it in fact the same
 (but not from
 the GUI)?
 
 gparted should work but things to consider...

 Fedora 10 installer can resize NTFS partition on the fly when
 installing. Gparted might be a bit easier (assuming that you make a boot
 CD).

 If you have used the Windows for any length of time, defrag first.

 Leave any utility partitions alone, i.e. re-installation partitions etc.
 so if necessary, you could reinstall Windows.

 After resizing, Windows will run a full repair on the next boot up, be
 prepared to allow the time.

 Windows XP seems to require at least 12 Gigabytes with current SP3 and
 Vista likely needs more. 20 should be OK. If space is not an issue, 24
 or 32 Gigabytes might be safer, especially if your need to use Windows
 increases.

picture book update

2009-04-14 Thread Max Spevack
In summary, we need to separate CONTENT CREATION and DISTRIBUTION into 
two separate tasks.


CONTENT CREATION


We need to read over their file creation guide as well as their cover 
template generator, and their color cover/interior 
suggestions/guidelines.  The sales guy basically said that our job is to 
deliver them a .pdf file, so anything we use to create content that can 
spit out a .pdf is going to be ok, but he urged us to read those 
documents to be sure.


We can choose 7x10, 8x10, or 8.5x11 as the trim size.

They are mailing a sample of their work to Red Hat in Raleigh, where I 
will be next week to take a look at it.


DISTRIBUTION


SETUP FEE -- $75
PROOF FEE -- $15 + $.09 per page = $22.20

1-49 copies:$9.50 each
50-99 copies:   $9.025 each
100-249 copies: $8.55 each
250-499 copies: $7.60 each
500+ copies:$7.125 each

200 copies will run us $1807.20 plus tax ($9.04 each)

300 copies will run us $2377.20 plus tax ($7.92 each)

400 copies will run us $3137.20 plus tax ($7.84 each)

500 copies will run us $3659.70 plus tax ($7.32 each)

We can either (a) do whatever we want with the books or (b) do whatever 
we want with some of the books and put the others on Amazon, etc.


=

My recommendation is that we continue working to produce the book, and 
assuming that the quality of their sample is good, we go with LSI.

I would like to see every Ambassador with such a name plate (around the

at Linuxtag, Fedora related Speakers from LinuxTag and FUDCon will have

Can I have your vote for a mandatory Standard name plate for the
