Chrome still has issues to resolve - like it does not do rss feeds, and reloading a page often won't reload and you have to clear the browser history.

User image for "About me" in taskbar in f12?
I have more than one machine running f12 - I use the gnome desktop with kdm as the login manager. The machines run fine with one small slight irritation - on the taskbar as has been usual in gnome it is possible to select an image when you right click the username and click the image at the top left of the window that opens. However this image is not seen when you close the personal details window. Also the same avatar should appear in the kdm greeter screen alongside the username to select to login - but in f12 it does not appear to do so. In f11 with the same process I do get the image displayed on the taskbar next to the username in gnome, and also in the kdm greeter screen. In my f12 machines although the image looks just fine within the personal details window, it does not appear on the taskbar or in the kdm greeter. Does anyone else see this ? Was there a policy change that is in place for f12? Am I doing something dumb and if so what should I do to get the behaviour that I would like for this?

What this then will do is to get the mail client (Thunderbird) to access gmail via the imap server held at gmail. This is not directly related to the dovecot imap server that you will have set up on your own machine. You can get Thunderbird to (separately) connect to you own imap server if you set up a "local" imap account pointing to 127.0.0.1 and have the dovecot service running locally (i.e. make sure that as root "dovecot service start", and "chkconfig dovecot on" to start it at boot - and check that the service is running by "service dovecot status") Now when you start Thunderbird with both the gmail imap account as well as the local imap account defined within Thunderbird then you will see two sets of mail but at this stage the only mail that you will see populated is the gmail account. i.e. Thunderbird as email client, is making connections to two independent imap servers - one at gmail and the other in your local machine. If you wish you can then copy mail from the gmail server to your own dovecot server, either manually or by setting up local filter rules within Thunderbird. You can set rules up to make copies of all mail at gmail onto your local imap server from within Thunderbird so that each time Thunderbird checks for new mail at gmail it will copy to your local server. You configure the rules in which ever way is most convenient for you. However once this is all done then you can start a different mail client (such as Evolution for example) and set up a local imap account which will then see any email that is already stored (and handled) by dovecot locally. You can of course also set it up to look at gmail and transfer files to the local imap if you wish - and then run either mail client whenever you feel like it, and use the best facilities of the one you are running at any time. So re-capping: 1) Set up local imap server - dovecot. 2) Set up email client eg Thunderbird and/or Evolution and/or kmail etc with each email client having an account pointing to any mail servers where you have email - one account may be gmail, another your local dovecot imap, and you may have a yahoo account or others as well 3) Set up filter rules to copy mail from one or other of these servers to any of the others - each "account" set up in an email client points to a different server. One possible use is when your isp runs only a pop3 mail server - you can get your Thunderbird to connect to that but then to copy mail from that server to your local server and then any other mail client can see the same emails by pointing them to the local dovecot imap server. I hope this helps -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Saving-Tbird-e-mail-filestp26835345p26859000.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
flash-plugin update and f11
Recently there was a flash-plugin update available to flash-plugin-10.0.42.34-release.i386 After updating I noticed that Firefox was showing the new version as well as the old version in Tools-Add-ons and selecting the plugins tab. I initially disabled the old version but then found that Youtube and other videos would not play in Firefox. After a lot of messing about I found a workaround - yum remove nspluginwrapper flash-plugin followed by yum install nspluginwrapper flash-plugin Now I only see one version of the flash-plugin in the plugins tab, and also about:plugins only shows a single version of shockwave flash with the info: File name: nswrapper_32_32.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42 So this appears to work - presumably similar workarounds may be needed for f12?

Another point I am interested in is whether it is possible to drop a file using the desktop file manager gui from Fedora into the XP VM window and open the file in an app within the XP VM? I am thinking of, for example, taking a Word file and dropping it into the XP VM so that it opens in Word 2003, say, and has the full Windows edit facilities. Or similar for an excel file and have it utilise the Solver macro, or Analysis package within the XP environment - so that if someone sends such a file in email then you can get it from the email attachment in Fedora to the running application in the VM in an easy way? I'd like to know what the limits are for using the VM before going down the road of setting it all up. Additionally if anyone has used kvm how does qemu feature in this scheme - is it needed at all for running an XP VM? I can see that VirtualBox is recommended by people who have used it but I would like to be able to compare VirtualBox with KVM in terms of not only ease of setting up, but also performance and usability once it is set up.

Setting up a VM to run XP in an up-to-date F12 box?
Can someone point me to a good step by step howto to set up Windows XP installed from an iso in a VM in F12 using kvm. There are some XP applications that only work in XP itself rather than in wine or Crossover. I have not tinkered with virtualised machines before so this is a learning curve for me. I did see the http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ guide on virtualization but there seems to be quite a number of changes in the details of what is presented on screen when starting to install a new VM on my screen compared to what is in the guide. The laptop in which I want to do this does have the virtualisation flags so in principle it should be possible. It is not clear where the virtualised machine would get installed by default - but it looks like it would be in /var/lib/libvirt/images which is on the root partition in my case so I made a new directory in a bigger partition with plenty of space, and bind mounted it ahead of trying to create a new VM.

I have one machine that is around 6 years old on which I have f11 working perfectly well (previously it was f10 ) but one issue still remains. Plugged into a rear usb port is the sender for a radio mouse. The mouse has newish batteries and works fine with everything running and powered up.

Why should a machine not boot liveCD if HD fails?
In the past few days as some will know from a previous thread I had a total failure of a machine that is now resolved after replacing the hard drive - however one thing puzzles me - why would a computer with a failed SATA hard drive be unable to boot from a liveDVD in the optical drive?

The machine now readily booted to a PartedMagic LiveCD and I was able to partition the drive to prepare for an f11 clean install which I have now just completed. So in this case it turned out to be a total failure of the hard drive - the machine is less than 2 years old, so a drive failure at this age is surprising, the more so considering it has always been on a UPS to protect the mains supplying it. The new HD is a different make to the original, and hopefully will last a little longer than the previous one! Anyway I am very glad that this turned out to be unrelated to the operating system, although I am still trying to get to the bottom of what happened to the other machine - which was clearly a software issue.

They appeared to run fine until the first failed catastrophically last night. The second failed whilst I was on my way to work - my wife phoned me to tell me that the screen had suddenly filled with coloured bars and that there were weird messages on the screen - the machines are now unbootable. It does sounds like a catastrophic disk failure but I was wondering if it had anything to do with them running with ext4 file systems - on / and /opt though /boot was ext3 as needed for f11 install with ext4 for the rest. I am at a total loss as this takes out both operational desktops at home - it is of course possible that it is not connected with any updates - but two machines going out within 12 hours seems a very unfortunate coincidence - last night I was convinced it was an unlucky disk failure - but I have not had time to investigate. However I thought it was worth asking in case anyone else who is running f11, and ran the same updates may have hit the analogous problem - if so I am quite worried as I have several other machines running f11 elsewhere (like on my desk at work!) All are fully up to date f11 - but with different hardware.

two major failures after yesterday updates - anyone else
I have had an unprecented pair of events last night and this morning - two machines (both Dell Inspiron 530s desktops) have died completely ( unbootable) - having been running on f11 very successfully for some time. I had no reason to suspect the hardware at all and both were running fine from new a couple of years ago - but I am now wondering if this has anything to do with updates that came in on 28th October. The new kernel and a number of other updates were installed yesterday morning on both machines. Both were also using ext4 files systems. I would like to know if this is a chance event or related to kernel changes, particularly related to ext4? If nobody else has anything remotely similar happen then I will conclude that I am just very very unlucky - but I would like to know if anybody else has had a mysterious total failure of their system in the past 24 hours. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/two-major-failures-after-yesterday-updates---anyone-else-tp26109441p26109441.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
F11 Nvidia 8300 GS and kmod-nvidia-PAE fail
Has anyone had a total failure to run kmod-nvidia with an 8300 GS graphics card in f11? My system (http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_0461ec99-2d05-44bf-ac48-1a0d78a17c52) used to run with the kmod-nvidia-PAE installed from rpmfusion just fine in f10 with no issues at all. When I installed (clean) the new f11 system on this machine (in fact two machines with this card both have identical issues), the install was fine, I then yum updated to the latest kernel and, as per my normal upgrade procedure, then yum installed kmod-nvidia-PAE from rpmfusion. This process worked without issue on two other machines which have nvidia graphics cards (but not the 8300 card). On rebooting, the boot began as normal (text kms/plymouth with the blue/white running line on the bottom of the screen), but as soon as x should start - it didn't. There was a blank screen with a flashing cursor at top right only. I removed the kmod-nvidia package, and xorg.conf and ran without it until yesterday. After updating the system to the new kernel yesterday I booted to the new kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i686.PAE - which was fine and tried yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE (which is the correct version of kmod-nvidia for this card and kernel I believe) and rebooted - same as the original problem - after the plymouth non-graphical boot, blank screen with flashing cursor - except that some seconds later a couple of lines of text appeared on the screen related to selinux audit. I removed kmod-mvidia and am running without it again - this morning in the syslog there are lines: audit(1256631766.417:29202): auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:readahead_t:s0 op=remove rule key=(null) list=2 res=1 However I am not sure this is directly related to the kmod-nvidia-PAE or not. Anyway I wonder if anyone else has had a problem with this card and an inability to use kmod-nvidia? If so is there a known workaround?

However with the replacement of the java jre as per my link it works 100% for me in Maple13 running in Fedora 11. I don't know what version of java they embedded in their install disk but I think that is the main culprit - but yes reporting to Maple devs is certainly a good idea. However this also highlights a problem with Iced Tea - till now I have not had a need to use anything other than the open source java and it is a shame I now have to install Sun Java to get Maple to work! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Maple13-and-Fedora-11-tp26049037p26055566.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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

Maple13 and Fedora 11
Since I have to use Maple 13 at work I installed it in my F11 machine - it worked for everything I tested, but refused to print (not printers came up in the printing dialogue). It turned out that this is due to the embedded java JRE being incompatible with F11, and it was necessary to make Maple use another version of java. I initially made it point to the Iced Tea default java in F11, and printing was then possible but there were many misplaced characters and it was not properly usable, so I resorted to to using Sun Java. If anyone else has been hit by this issue you may want to see the step by step instructions to making it work I prepared at: http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~mdc1/maple13_printing.html It would have been nice to use the open source java but in this instance I needed to get it working as quickly as possible and only using the SUN jre gave me a route to an operational system. If anyone has an alternative way to get printing working in Maple13 please let me know. -- mike -- 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

Anyway from my notes which I did in the past few days on a machine running f11 and worked fine in producing a "re-mix" DVD iso. You will have to tweak for your situation (eg change for x86_64, ppc etc): 0) Make sure mock and pungi are installed. 1) I wanted to have the files in the /opt partition so as not to use up the limited space in the root partition so I did this, but it is not essential. Changed the directory where the mock files are going to be on the /opt partition As root: mkdir /opt/Local/mock Check the mock directory has the correct permissions ll -Zd /opt/Local/mock drwxrwsr-x. root mock system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 /opt/Local/mock ll -Zd /var/lib/mock drwxrwsr-x. root mock system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 /var/lib/mock Then cd /var/lib mv mock mock.orig mkdir mock give it the correct permissions. Note that there is an "s" in the permissions! Add line to fstab /opt/Local/mock /var/lib/mock nonebind0 0 Now mount it by doing: mount /var/lib/mock Next we can start the preparation process (change the user "mike" to whoever the user will be that runs the build): As root: 2) gpasswd -a mike mock 3) Then as user mike I did $ cd /opt/spins $ mock -r fedora-11-i386 --init This takes a while - seems to do lots of stuff - then clearly creates files somewhere! Note that mock files are in /etc/mock and new files will be placed in /var/lib/mock 4) As user mike mock -r fedora-11-i386 --install pungi This puts pungi into the chroot - again it takes a while ! 5) Need to install spin-kickstarts in the chroot so: Again as user mike: mock -r fedora-11-i386 --install spin-kickstarts 6) Should probably also install vim into the chroot the same way so that the vim command can be used to edit the kickstarts later. 7) Now get a shell within the chroot mock -r fedora-11-i386 --shell This gives a mock-chroot> prompt to indicate we are in the shell Can come out using "exit" at any time. 8) Note that the files are accessible from outside the chroot as /var/lib/mock/ 9) Edit the kickstart file of your choice as needed - they are in /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/ eg edit the kickstart file for i386 install iso. Can do this outside the chroot and then copy in to the correct dir from outside the chroot if you like. Or edit within the chroot if you installed vim as a package as above. Edit the mirror lines to suit, and also change the package list if you wish. I remove all the unwanted language support to make a large saving in iso size produced. My repo lines are of the style: repo --name=f11 --baseurl=http://my-chosen-mirror/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Ever ything/$basearch/os/ --exclude kernel*debug* --exclude kernel-kdump* --exclude s yslog-ng --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-devel --exclude astronomy-bookmarks --exclude generic* --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc --exclude btanks --exclude GConf2-dbus --exclude bluez-gnome repo --name=f11-updates --baseurl=http://my-chosen-mirror/pub/fedora/linux/updates/ $releasever/$basearch/ --exclude kernel*debug* --exclude kernel-kdump* --exclude syslog-ng --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-devel --exclude astronomy-bookmarks --exclud e generic* --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc --exclude btanks --exclude GConf2-db us --exclude bluez-gnome However referral to the mirrorlist as in the original files should work fine. 10) Can cleanup the rpm database as mock-chroot> rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* This turned out to be necessary for me before it would work. Supposed to be not vital if composing for same arch. But I did it anyway. 11) Now we can finally run the build... mock-chroot> pungi -c /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/my-chosen-kickstart-file.ks --des tdir=/compose --nosplitmedia --nosource This will likely take a long time - very long time and should trawl the repo and collect what it needs. 12) From outside the chroot environment the files are at /var/lib/mock/ The files are finally produced in the sub-directories of /compose visible from outside the chroot as in my case where the system was initiated with name "fedora-11-i386": ls /var/lib/mock/fedora-11-i386/root/compose/20091008/i386/iso/ Fedora-20091008-i386-CHECKSUM Fedora-20091008-i386-netinst.iso Fedora-20091008-i386-DVD.iso Within the chroot they will be from directory "fedora-11-i386/" I hope this helps get going generating remix isos.. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/kickstartrefreshing-rpm%27s.-tp25811684p25823852.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To uns

Another advantage is that you can make the personalised DVD iso without all the additional language support thereby reducing the iso from around 3.7GiB to around 2.5Gib - then the install on other machines would be even quicker and updates after install likely to be pretty quick and not need much bandwidth. Of course you need to spend the time making the remix iso - but once done it saves a lot on installs on the other machines.

Or has selinux policy now reached the point of refinement such that running a respin build works fine with selinux enforcing?

Possible workaround for scanner failing to work in f11
I have been battling with trying to get my scanner to work after an f11 install - this is with a scanner that was working in f10 previously. I found a "fix" that may also work for others who find their scanner device is not found in GIMP->File->Create->XSane: Device dialog... During the updates after the install there was an update to sane-backends-1.0.20-4.fc11.i586 and this package deals with the dll.conf file in /etc/sane.d/ I noticed that there were two files: -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 916 2009-10-03 12:13 dll.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 664 2009-06-23 09:04 dll.conf.rpmnew However the earlier dated dll.conf.rpmnew listed the driver that I needed and that was in the system, but the dll.conf file did not! So I made dll.conf.rpmnew into dll.conf and tried again - and it worked fine! Others having issues with their scanner may find that this workaround may help too - depending on the model of the scanner involved. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Possible-workaround-for-scanner-failing-to-work-in-f11-tp25742703p25742703.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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

It seems that folders within an account are lexical apart from Inbox at the start and Trash at the end - but account name ordering doesn't seem to have any logic to it - I changed account names but they remain in the same relative places so account name ordering is not lexical?

[OT] Run LiveUSB on machine that can't boot from usbkey?
I have an old laptop that I use for testing new versions of Fedora - however although it will boot of a physical CD containing a LiveCD (say of F12 Alpha), it is old enough not to be able to boot off usb devices since the BIOS is not arranged to do so. So a usbkey that contains a LiveCD that works perfectly well on other machines won't play on this particular machine (Fijitsu-Siemens Amilo D 6800) Can anyone point me to a reference to work around this by booting off say an altered grub stansa in the HD which then refers to a plugged in usbkey to continue loading the LiveCD files from the usbkey? Or something similar?

Thunderbird does not shutdown properly in F11?
I have thunderbird with lightning (and enigmail) installed in F11, and when I shutdown thunderbird I see the processor using a significant fraction of the CPU and the process "thunderbird-bin" is still active. I can kill this process, but I can't see any way to prevent this unclean shutdown happening. Does anyone else see this with the version of thunderbird in F11?

ebooks and fedora?
Does anyone know if it is possible to download and read ebooks within Fedora (or Linux in general) ? I am thinking of for example the WHSmith ebook site (UK) at http://ebooks.whsmith.co.uk Some of my family are avid readers of books and ebooks might be a good way to go. However the site implies that you have to install Digital Editions which appears to be both proprietary and Windows/MAC only. So the question is - can one still download and read ebooks say of the type EPUB EBOOK and still read them in a Fedora system? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ebooks-and-fedora--tp24994570p24994570.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
