OK  (I deleted previous stuff no longer needed)

Rudeness aside if all goes well this should not be in HTML format. I
will attempt to reproduce and send requested files when it happens again.

By any chance, are you using the alternate-tab extension to Shell? If
so, this sounds like

System Hangs when Windows Key and Tab pressed Simultaneously

2011-12-10 Thread James J Catchpole

  
  
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T420i 64 bit lap top. It turns out that the
key with the Windows Logo is right next to the Left Alt Key and
sometimes
when I press the Windows and Tab Key by error the system locks up.
It doesn't seem to be totally reproducible as it happens randomly.
I am running Fedora 16 with Gnome3.

OK I did not include any detailed technical information as I am not

appear to be anything there relevant to nautilus. I wandered through
google looking for related issues. The only thing I have is the
following command line information.

When I start it from the autostart I don't really see anything at

Gnome3 message "Oh no! Something has gone wrong"

2011-10-08 Thread James J Catchpole

  
  
I struggled with this problem for a few days. I noted that when I
created a new user the problem did not manifest itself. However,
when I restored the data for my users from Fedora 15, I did a total
install, the problem wouldn't go away. After much pondering I
determined that it had to be something involved with selinux. I
installed the package policycoreutils-gui (SElinux Management),
clicked on the box forcing the system to be relabeled,  and the
problem disappeared.

error: error opening /var/log/messages.1: No such file or directory

Nothing happened to "messages" - this file was not renamed.


2.  "ps -ef | grep log"  gives me

root  2672 1  0 14:58 ?00:00:00 /sbin/rsyslogd -n -c 5

But from man page:

-c version. ...It must always be the first option on the command line

-n Avoid auto-backgrounding.  This is needed especially if the rsyslogd is started and 
controlled by init(8)

What does mean "5" at the end?



Actually logrotate doesn't work, although its output looks promising.

Any suggestions.
Thanks.

Well, I've tried GNOME 3 now (James Catchpole)

2011-04-27 Thread James J Catchpole


  
  
Well, I am currently trying out Gnome 3, haven't got to the provided
tests yet, and am having too many stability issues; perhaps there
will be a suite of updates that address many of the issues. I will
try and document my issues as soon as I can.

Subject: Sample items and configurations to test updates
To: For testers of Fedora development releases
	
Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Watching the latest updates in Fedora, there have been many items (libtiff,
wireshark, asterisk, etc.) which I know how to use, but I am somewhat
hesitant to test since they require having a lot of sample files,
configurations, and (in the case of things like Asterisk) other systems to
talk to.

And while Bugzilla often tells us the exact format(s) and protocol(s) fixed
by a release, the particular items needed to test it are hard to predict in
advance.

Does the Fedora test team or a related project have a library of
configuration and test files of various types which may be downloaded for
testing purposes?  If not perhaps we should create one.  Making setups and
sample items on the fly using software other than that under test can take
me a lot of time.

Obsessively follow? All you had to do was install Fedora 12, 13 or 14

I can't speak for other people, but when I tried gnome
shell in Fedora 13, it was just completely broken
(at least on my hardware) to the point that I couldn't
really even see what I didn't like about it.  And from what
I remember, it seemed a lot different from what I see
now on fedora 15 beta.  At the time, I attributed the problem
to bad 3D on my hardware and the fact that is was a really
early release.  It's only now that it's working well enough that
I can actually use it that I notice what I don't like about it.
Here are a few things that annoy me about gnome shell:

 - The panel on the top is mostly wasted space AFAICT and
   I haven't figured out how to add a custom launcher that my
   5 year old is used to.  Am I missing something?
 - After you've started one terminal shell and you try to start
   another one, it just brings you to the first one you started
   unless you right click and tell it to start a new shell.
 - After you finally figure out how to start a bunch of shells
   (or any kind of window I suspect), switching between
   workspaces is painfully slow (like a second or two).  And it
   doesn't have to even be switching from or to a workspace
   that has a lot of windows.  As long one workspace has
   a lot of open windows, it's really slow.
 - I have used multiple rows and columns of workspaces
   for like 17 years and every Linux windows environment
   I've worked with has had that capability.  I don't see a
   way to get many columns of workspaces in gnome shell
 - related to the last point, I have a tradition of organizing
   different things in different workspaces.  I work
   for three differ
