I don't know whether encryption has anything do to with the size. But start by reading the lvresize man page. man lvresize DESCRIPTION lvresize allows you to resize a logical volume. Be careful when reducing a logical volume’s size, because data in the reduced part is lost!!! You should therefore ensure that any filesystem on the vol- ume is shrunk first so that the extents that are to be removed are not in use. Resizing snapshot logical volumes (see lvcreate(8) for information about creating snapshots) is supported as well. But to change the number of copies in a mirrored logical volume use lvconvert(8). thats why i was using resize2fs. I can't even get the fs down in the first place, before I can lvreduce or lvresize.

Thinking about changing to 64 bits architecture (I have the i386 installation dvd, but not yet the i86_64 one), I was astonished how little I found on pros and cons. So what would you advise? 1. Changing to 64 bits is a must for you. 2. You will benefit from it. 3. Keep your hands off, stay with 64 bits. 4. ... I should mention that I want to use virtualization (KVM, VMware Server), and that the processor has Intel's hardware vitualization capabilities. Thanks for any pointers. Klaus Something to note, I don't know why but the 64-bit versions of Firefox and Thunderbird use a lot more memory than the 32-bit versions, I was originally running a 32-bit f9 with 3GB ram w/2GB swap, and almost never got into swap, after switching to 10 64-bit, I had to add 2GB more of swap and was getting deep into the 4GB of swap, I uninstalled 64-bit firefox/openoffice and thunderbird and put in the 32-bit version and the memory usage went down quite a bit. The memory usage was a at least 50% more. that seems to make sense, With 64, you have twice the register size, so that means double the footprint, for some things could be a bit slower, (twice the throughput between the ram and CPU) otherwise i've found little difference in performance and i've used 32/64 a lot. The ram addressing is the main advantage, since there's a small hit with using PAE, it depends how much I/O is involved.

The lack of response is either because no one else is having the problem or the message subject doesn't catch anyone's interest.

I bet hardly anyone even used LXDE, its a real shame, lean software like this is what we need more. Nothing remembers the session though.. you may have tried it already but xfce is also a great dm, lean and efficient ya, thats what I used to use, but I would have preferred if it was actually like CDE as it was intended. -- 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

Richard Richard As I recall in F10 the file, /etc/sysconfig/desktop, was not installed by default. Have you checked to see if the file exists? If not, create the file with the following contents and file a bug report: DESKTOP=LXDE DISPLAYMANAGER=GNOMEhttp://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines those settings dont work, if I set PREFERRED=/usr/bin/lxde then it will as long as i'm in runlevel 3 and use startx. I see one of the reasons why it doesnt save the session is because i'm one of the ones that uses root to login, i'd like to find where GDM seems to get its session data from and add root in the list. -- 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
LXDE as default in init 5
I would like to set this as the default, but using runlevel 5 just brings up GDM by default and I have to select lxde every time.
