Unfortunately I was (and still am to a large degree) a complete newbie when it comes to Linux. (I am much more familiar with OpenBSD.) Since I did not realize I needed to create 2 partitions (system,boot) before installing, I created only 1 partition and now, I can not use the preupgrade option.

I'm running 32-bit F9 with only 1 partition.. The lack of a separate boot partition prevented me from completing the preupgrade to F10.

How to speed up refresh for remote X11 displays via ssh
I now have X11 via ssh working on F9, but refresh of the remote X11 window is extremely slow, even over a 1GB switch. Is there a way to speed up the refresh?

Yes. I came from OpenBSD and am a complete Linux newbie, so I had an incorrect understanding of the Linux firewall setup and didn't realize it.

That may well be the case. There also is a persistant problem with font corruption in Firefox which I have discovered can be corrected by exiting firefox, logging out, logging in again and then restarting firefox.

Corruption of f9 man pages
I notice spreading corruption of f9 fonts. The most recent example is when I do 'man sshd_conf'. Ever more characters are being replaced by strangeness as an example below shows. AddressFamily Specifies which address family should be used by sshd(8). Valid arguments are âyâetâet6âyâlowAgentForwarding Specifies whether ssh-agent(1) forwarding is permitted.

Can you tell me which model it is? Unfortunately, I threw out all the packaging after I determined that it works. They cost $39 and have builtin headphone and mic volume controls. There is also a USB adaptor, but I have not been able to get that to work with skype.

Re: Amazon Kindle and Fedora
Bob, Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry the Kindle has not worked out for you. I'm leaning strongly toward a netbook, but I'm really wondering if the reason the Kindle has not been restocked is that Kindle2 is in the works. If that were true I would be surprised if many of your criticisms were not dealt with in the new version.

A Possible Reason for Problems with Flash Player
After attempting to install the Firefox Flash plugin, I kept getting SELinux alerts every time I started Firefox. After deleting all the files in the directory /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper, I continued to get SELinux alerts. The flash plugin attempts to make the stack executable, which SELinux does not permit on my system. The alerts from one invocation of Firefox follow: 2/home/daf}firefox Error: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config not found /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config not found FoxyProxy settingsDir = /home/daf/.mozilla/firefox/jde131vm.default ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npwrapp er.so [/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npwrapper.so: cannot open shared object file: Pe rmission denied] GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x9fc7cf0: NP_GetMIMEDescription GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x9fc7cf0: NP_GetMIMEDescription return GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x9fc7cf0: NP_GetValue GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x9fc7cf0: NP_GetValue: returning plugin name.

The offending file is a plugin called npviewer. Java was updated yesterday. I think this was activated as a result of my attempts to get Flash working with Firefox. -- 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
