I use VMware Workstation 7  on Fedora 12 i386 since day when kqemu
support has been dropped,

My system is a laptop w/ Pentium Dual Core and 3 GB RAM.

Try to reduce the memory of guest os allocated by vmware (eg: 256
instead of 512) it's depend on host ram.

If your system support VT-x go with KVM.

F12 and time keeping ....

[Ed Greshko]

At first I thought this was a VMware workstation issue.  But now it
points more to F12.

I have 3 VM's  (F12, Centos5.4, Ubuntu) running under VMware Workstation
7 running on RHELv4.  FWIW, their kernel versions are 2.6.31.9-174,
2.6.18-164.10.1, and 2.6.31-14.  All system are running ntpd and all
systems have the identical ntp.conf files.

The servers they are using are:

0.tw.pool.ntp.org
1.asia.pool.ntp.org
0.asia.pool.ntp.org

Anyway, only F12's time is unstable.

If I do "ntpdate -q 0.tw.pool.ntp.org" on any other system I
consistently get an offset less than one second.  Much of the time it is
along the lines of 0.003110 sec.

With the F12 system it slowly increments from less than one second to
over 6 seconds.  At some point, seen in messages log, it gets reset. 
(time reset +6.220261 s for example)

Is anyone having similar issues with time on F12?  Part of the reason I
noticed this was looking at the email headers generated from this list. 
The time of the servers jumps forward and then  backward in time.  But,
since it by minutes maybe those servers just don't use ntp to keep sync

RHEL packages (OT)

[Kevin Kempter]

Hi All;

this is slightly off topic:

I've just moved from a long time Fedora user to RHEL Workstation. I need the 
stability as a business machine.

I'm liking it so far, however there are 2 packages I'd love to have - digikam 
and the ability to play mp3's.

Does anyone here know How I can pull this off ?

Thanks in advance...

In my own defense I was posting using my ISP's mail package:

1) I did my best not to hijack a thread. As far as I could tell I was 
starting a new one.  Sorry 'bout that.

2) Again, no choice.

I've managed to get around the problem by using startx instead of gdm.

I have a BT mouse, which works. lspci doesn't see the adaptor, but lsusb
does. I finally worked out that I needed to run bluetooth-wizard from
the Shell (just once) to configure it. Presumably this is in some Gnome
menu, but I use KDE so it wasn't obvious.

I haven't tried file browsing recently as my iPhone doesn't support it,
at least without jailbreaking, but in the past I've done it via the
kbluetooth app to Nokia phones.

It handles digital cable here perfectly.  The cx2388 driver for analog
has some alsa sound problems.  I use a Hauppauge HVR 1800 tuner which
should be modern enough.  Check out the TVtime home page for their
change log.  I know there was a problem like you say for a short while
but I also know it has been fixed.  I have copious notes on this here
somewhere so if you need more info let me know.  I probably have it
here.

dealing with gdm failure

[geoff]

On restart after what appeared to be a normal hibernate (from disk) the system came up as normal, but it was evident that there were severe problems. The flashing-light daemon reported problems with coreutils. So I rebooted. System would not go to runlevel 5, but 3 was good. I discovered that abrtd was looping, using about 50% of the CPU. Pushing that aside and rebooting, serious complaints from selinux. Disabled that. On reboot discovered that gdm was failing; probably the root of the problem. No errors in X.0.log.Environment is Fedora 12, up-to-date as of today. I'm running the PAE kernel. Booted with the latest and 2 back. No change. OK, so there's nothing wrong with the display (Windoze here). Any suggestions, or am I stuck with reinstall?Thanks.

Yup, I don't miss anything. I'm not a very discriminating user as far
as graphics go, so the only difference I notice is the rather
primitive but utterly insignificant booting progress indicator.

I'm not sure suspending from a text console would satisfy me... I
presume it would entail killing all X applications? The primary reason
why I use suspend instead of shutdown-restart is (of course) that I
want my running applications to remain running when the machine wakes
up again.

it is because Intel SpeedStep is enabled in BIOS ... just disable Intel 
SpeedStep.. and see what happens ( probably you will get the actual 
rating of the CPU in /proc/cpuinfo. SpeedStap is on-demand frequency 
scaling ...it allows system to utilise CPU as per the need.

If I might offer one other thought, even with modeset, I believe changing to a 
text console and suspending from there will work to resume and to change back 
to 
X later. Someone showed me that as the only way their laptop worked right.

And if you are happy with nomodeset you don't care, do you?  ;-)

Huh, that stopped working for me about FC10, I was told it had to do woth the

Thanks!

I found this
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#encrypted-password-for-text-boot
which shows that we're not alone. There's a workaround there, which
might have helped you, but for me it results in an "undefined video
mode number: 318" error.

Also according to the link above, updating plymouth should help (and
is possible  in rescue mode) but it requires an initrd rebuild.
Trouble is, the installed kernel is PAE and the rescue kernel is not.
There's more fun lying  this way, because installing the non-PAE
kernel even in a chrooted environment doesn't seem to be that simple;
I tried it and ended up with an unbootable system.

I'll probably soon follow your lead and give up on this encrypted
partition thing.

It looks like you are building eina from Enlightenment, 
not the eina media player.

eina the media player is in fedora.

Re: strange prompt for password protected partition

I can confirm that I had *exactly* the same problem installing F12 on
an Asus netbook.

It does exactly what you say:
Prompts to unlock /home
Typed passphrase shows in cleartext
Hitting enter results in conversion to asterisks but does *not*
continue booting.
Continuing to hit Enter just adds more asterisks.

It never actually unlocks the partition and it just sits there.
Ignoring the prompt appears to eventually time out and boot, albeit
without your partition mounted of course.

I just re-installed without encryption.

If someone could tell me what is responsible for asking the password
of an encrypted partition, I'd at least know where to look or what to
file a bug against in bugzilla.

I can read the partition in rescue mode (and it's mostly backed up
anyway), so this is not the end of the world, but it's pretty
frustrating.

VMware Workstation 7 on F12

[Paolo Galtieri]

I recently installed Workstation 7 on Fedora 12.  However, I cannot install
a guest OS.  So far the only VM I've been able to get running is one I
copied over from my Fedora 9 system.  I can create the VM without problems,
but when I try to instsll the guest OS my system gets slower and slower
until it is completely unresponsive.  I tried installing Windows 7 32 bit
and it get to the point of printing out "Starting Windows" and then access
to the CD drive stops and the system starts to get more and more
unresponsive.

Has anyone else seen issues with running VMware Workstation 7 on F12?

FWIW, the concept you want to research is "multi-session".   This is
basically the same for both CD's and DVD's.

There is no need or advantage to "initialize" a blank DVD+R.  As a
matter of fact, there is no concept of doing that.  The very first time
a blank DVD is written in multi session all the necessary bits will be
laid down.  Also, remember that DVD+R is *write once*.  Each time a new
DVD session is written it will consume an additional amount of space to
"replace" the previous TOC (Table of Contents)  (Frankly, I don't recall
if the new TOC contains the old TOC info or if the new TOC contains only
new info and refers to the old TOC(s).)  So, the more sessions you write
to a DVD the more space that is consumed by the session information and
the less space available for actual data.

In my history I first starting using DVD+R or DVD-R media to backup
data.  At that time DVD+RW or DVD-RW media were more expensive and I
thought I was saving money.  I switched to using DVD-RW media.  But, as
time when on I had more and more data that I felt needed to be backed
up.  But, since DVD's hold only 4GB there was plenty of manual
intervention involved.  This would cause me to avoid doing backups

Now...or in my case years ago...hard drive prices came down quite a
bit.  Even though it was more expensive than it is today, convenience
outweighed cost.  I used an old PIII system as a headless file server
with 2TB of backup space.

While I've heard that sw such as Bacula and Amanda are good solutions I
don't use them.  All of my important systems are Linux and I simply use
rsync and crontab entries.

Note that the command was "-Z /dev/dvd -R -J /file /file ..."

That's different than "-Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/isoimage" which WILL
close the session.  In other words, if there's an "=" in the
command, the session will close as it will write the disk with the
image AND fill it out with zeroes after to close the session.

You might want to take a look at the options for wodim as well,

Ah, ok.  I had tried the -Z option with a small file and 
thought I ended up with a finalized disk because bacula 
reported the disk had 0 bytes of free space left.  But I
may have misinterpreted what I was seeing (or its message
may have been bogus.)

Because it's not me but the backup program that wants 
to write to the DVD and (I think) it wants a mounted 
DVD to write to.  However, looking at another source of
info, I may be wrong about that too.  

Thanks for the info.

Growisofs with -Z option writes the first session, with -M writes the rest of 
the sessions. My feeling is that writing an empty filesystem on a media buys 
nothing and that's why there's no neat command to do it. If you don't want to 
write data then why write anything?

Is there also a way to read the different sessions (or states of the

I use TVTime.  It does one thing only, but it does it well.  It gives me
my cable TV.

It is easy to install and configure and just keeps on ticking.

(Actually it does more than one thing, but there is no doubt that it's
main purpose is to run a TV tuner card for TV viewing.)

It's pretty simple:

growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /path/file1 /path/file2 ...

When you want to add more files:

growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /path/to/more/files ...

The magic is replacing the "-Z" (meaning "initialize session") with
"-M" (merge data into session).  When you finally want to close the
session:

 growisofs -M /dev/dvd=/dev/zero

which fills out the rest of the session with zeroes.

Hope that helps.

Glad to help.  Leave it running and enabled.  It can't hurt anything
and may extend the life of your CPU.

I have the applet on my panel, too.  It's nice to see the rate bob up

initializing a blank DVD+R disk?

[Stuart McGraw]

I am trying to setup backup software (Bacula) on my home
network and ran into a real dumb newbie DVD question I haven't
been able to google an answer to (at least an answer I could 
understand) since I have never used writable DVDs before.

How does one write a iso filesystem onto a blank DVD+R disk 
without writing any files, and leaving the DVD writable (i.e,
not finalized if that this the right term)?  The growisofs

Oh, I didn't uninstall it.  I just turned it off temporarily to see

It's not a bad thing to have cpuspeed installed. If you want to enjoy 
lower CPU temperatures and a quieter computer, then leave cpuspeed 
installed and enabled.

Your computer will not be slower from idling at a lower CPU speed. The 
CPU will automatically clock up to 3.4ghz if you have a thread that 
requires more power.

OK, I straightened myself out. There is a Connect to Server under the
Gnome Places as opposed to the Nautilus Places. And that seems to work
but the Gnome Places -> Network does not. Places-> Network under Gnome
fails as it does under Nautilus and shows me just the Windows machine
nit the Fedora machines. This worked correctly in F11.

Can anyone explain this failure?

strange prompt for password protected partition

[Andras Simon]

I'm at the reboot stage of installing F12 on a netbook with a
password protected /home partition (carried over from F10). I get a prompt

"/home is password protected:"

during the boot process, but if I start to type, it shows up as
clear text, instead of as asterisks; and if I press Enter, I get the
same prompt with a lot of asterisks. Further presses of Enter
result in further asterisks. Is this a keyboard problem? (All
this used to work with F10.) What can I do?

Change tracking problem with OpenOffice--options settings don't persist

[George Avrunin]

I am running Fedora 12 x86_64, but this problem goes back to earlier
versions.  (In fact, I think I recall some discussion of it on the list
a year or so ago, but I couldn't find that when I searched so maybe I'm
imagining it.)

I have some colleagues who prefer to use Word (even to edit LaTeX source
files!), partly because change tracking sometimes makes it a lot easier to
keep up with what's happening to multi-author manuscripts.  So I need to
use OpenOffice's change tracking and I set Tools -> Options -> Writer
-> Changes to color the changes "by author". That works fine in the
particular session, but once I close OpenOffice, the setting is lost and
I have to redo the setting every time I start OpenOffice.

I asked about this on the Writer forum at OpenOffice.org and was told to
remove my profile (which I had already tried) and, if that didn't work,
to install the rpms from Sun.  I used yum to remove all the OpenOffice
stuff and installed the Sun rpms to see if it made a difference, but
that version keeps crashing when I start it up.  I imagine there's
something I need to reconfigure (I was told on the forum that "there
are several threads here about install under Fedora"), but before I put
in the time to see if I can make the Sun rpms work and then find out
whether they have the change tracking settings problem, I thought I'd ask
here and see if anyone else is having this problem with change tracking or
has a solution with the Fedora rpms.

Thanks,

  George

There's two ways to do it.  You can create "~/.ssh/config" files for
each local user that specifies keys.  Or modify /etc/ssh/ssh_config and
put in:

Host host.domain.tld
IdentityFile /path/to/id_dsa/file

Host host1.domain.tld
IdentityFile /path/to/id_dsa-or-id_rsa/file

to make it global.  The paths to the filenames can use normal some
special tokens ("%d", "%u", etc.) to form the path.  See the
"IdentityFile" bit of "man ssh_config"

> Or have I missed your point? The issue is that I need different keys depending

I think the "-i" is run in the context of the user actually running the
ssh command, not the user named in the "u...@host" or "-l" options in
the command.

If this is right and you run the ssh commad as "fred", and do something
like:

ssh bar...@remotehost
or
ssh -l barney remotehost

the identity file will attempt to be read as user "fred".  Since the 
files are usually set with mode 600 (rw---) and owned by their
user ("barney" in this case), fred can't read barney's files and ssh
sends out the system-wide default.

That's just an educated guess, you understand.  I've never used
identity files from another user.  90% of what I do via ssh is
interactive.  Running the ssh command with "-vvv" and watching the
output may reveal something completely different.

For that  reason I haven't bothered with creating new lists, for years.
All entries seem to have to live in the Collected addresses and if you 
move them to any other created address book they reappear in the 
collected list so there is more than one entry for the same thing.
This is very messy when you have auto complete enabled because you will 
get 2 or more displays, one for each personal address book listing, of 
the same address.

I'm not even sure what you want the list admins to do.  If it's

themselves to do so.

I won't speak for any of the other volunteer list admins here, but I
have no plans to spend my time updating a 3rd party service that I

I think it's quite reasonable that gmane users handle this themselves.

You sort of bring up a good point, filtering the the list header rather than 
the 
origin is probably highly desirable, and less likely to need a change. I do get 
lists which don't provide such a header, but fortunately not from Redhat in ary

I guess that's a hint if people are changing their filters anyway. ;-)

What application do you use for watching? I've been looking for something user 
friendly to give some people still on FC4 because they can understand xawtv and 
all the easy to use applications stopped working. They rejected MythTV at the 
point where it said "have your DBA set up a database..." and I have not found 
anything which can handle clear-QAM, over the air digital, and NTSC without 
asking for user entered channel frequencies in MHz or other things these people 
aren't about to do.

Note: even if I was willing to set it up for them for free, they would expect 
support at the same price, advice I give them, time consuming work not so much.

I have "HDhomerun" which handles clear QAM channels in HD just fine. 
Unfortunately I have a cable co who delivers local HD in clear, 70 channels in 
NTSC (analog) clear, and the rest in encoded digital. The HDhomerun seems not 
to 
handle the NTSC channels, although I hoped it would. It does work well with vlc 
to watch and/or capture the programming it handles.

I think that's a symptom, mount as root should work no matter where you log in, 
so something's preventing. I assume you use read-only mount and looked at the

No, if I saw a config option to use the key the command line provides first I 
would put it in the system config file. Is there an option I missed? Having an 
option file for each key would seem a roundabout way to do things.

Or have I missed your point? The issue is that I need different keys depending 
on what I'm doing, and the man page seems to say that the -i key will be used 
instead of the default, which is just what I need.

Places in Nautilus Ia could see other Fedora machines on the LAN. In F12
I can't. I can see a Windows machine but none of the fedora machines. I

Re: Fedora lists transition and GMANE

Well, I got a couple posts via Gmane yesterday, and reported that 
here, taking it as success; but methinks it was premature. I don't see 
much, either.

I had also put up a post, labelled simply "Fedora.general" on 
Gmane.discuss; that has had no reply so far.

Pretty please, admins?

Firmware for MiniView G-CSIO4U 4-port USB KVM switch??

[BeartoothHbsk]

For the last several years, I have been running the same four PCs 
behind the same KVM switch, with the same keyboard, mouse, and monitor 
(an HP w2207 which is marginal for the hardware of the older two), with 
several releases of Fedora.

Now suddenly (beginning iirc with, certainly after, installation 
of F12) everything related to the display keeps going exponentially worse.

Discussion with a local friend who speaks hardware (as I do not, 
alas!), reached a suggestion to try updating the firmware.

Googling got me to a stub of what had been Fedora Portal (and had 
apparently had something specifically about firmware for this switch), 
with a recommendation to come here.

Before I go into a tedious tale of woe, does anybody know 
anything specifically about the firmware on this switch, and how to 
update it for Fedora??

Try opening a konsole and running this:

  while true; do true; done

then check cpuinfo again. :-)

If you have many processors or multicore CPUs you may need
one of those loops for every core. When you ask all of them
to work hard, they increase the clock.

You have to Control-c the infinite loop of course, if you
do not want to waste power (or battery) while doing nothing
useful. :-)

Simplest way:

 * run system-config-selinux;
 * click on Network Port;
 * look up the SELinux Port Type for port 22 (the normal SSH port); 
 * click on add;
 * enter the appropriate port number and SELinux Type.

If you want a command line equivalent, then try 
semanage port -a -t ssh_port_t -p tcp 344
(I haven’t tried this one, but it’s only lightly modified from the
semanage man page).

Hope this helps,

Re: [389-users] require ssl/tls only for binding as user

[Andrey Ivanov]

You have also this (starting from version 1.2.1) :

* Add require secure binds switch
  o This adds a new configuration attribute named
nsslapd-require-secure-binds. When enabled, a simple bind will only be
allowed over a secure transport (SSL/TLS or a SASL privacy layer). An
attempt to do a simple bind over an insecure transport will return a
LDAP result of LDAP_CONFIDENTIALITY_REQUIRED. This new setting will
not affect anonymous or unauthenticated binds.
  o The default setting is to have this option disabled.

You might need to tell the driver to send a form feed at the end of the

If you have cpuspeed or cpu-freq running, it will scale the speed of
the CPU based on workload.  If the machine's busy, the CPU will run
faster, if not...

Dunno if this relates or not, but I was recently reading LG optical
drive reviews on NewEgg, and I noted for (at least) one of 'em that 
there is allegedly some kind of "adware" built into the firmware of
the device, at some firmware revision levels. According to some of those
reviews, doing a firmware update on the drive removes it. YMMV.

That is not odd. This is a feature of most modern CPUs. Whenever the CPU 
is under minimal load, the clock speed drops down to a lower value to 
save power. I believe you can turn this feature on/off from the BIOS. 
The latest models can do this even more flexibly, AFAICR they call it 
dynamic overclocking (or underclocking in this case).

For example my desktop at home is rated at 3.00 GHz, but I have 
overclocked it to 3.60 GHz. So while idling, I see 3.00 and 2.40 and 
while under load like compiling I see 3.00 and 3.60.

Brother DCP 7020 printer receiving data but not printing ?!?

[William Case]

Hi;

I have checked all of Brother's settings and returned them to default.

The system-config-printer shows:

Description: Brother DCP 7020
Location: COMPUTER (i.e. correct host name)
Device URI : ipp://192.168.1.7:631/printers/GH_laser
Make and Model:Brother HL-1250 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.4 Simplified on
192.168.1.7

All of which I think is correct.

The printer LED shows "Receiving data".

But ...
It doesn't print.

I have checked with OpenPrinting - The Linux Foundation and other linux
printing sites. The Brother HL - 1250 driver is supposed to be the
correct driver for the Brother DCP 7020 Laser.

What now ?

These packages work but need a lot of work before any inclusion in 
rpmfusion. In fact if i remember well there is already a team from 
rpmfusion working on this.

Odd /proc/cpuinfo

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

So I never paid attention to this since I always assumed the system 
will do The Right Thing (TM), however while going through servers today, 
I came across this discrepancy and was hoping someone here could help me 
figure out what's going on.

While 'cat'ing /proc/cpuinfo I see this (other information removed):

vendor_id   : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 15
model   : 4
model name  : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz
stepping: 10
cpu MHz : 2400.000
cache size  : 2048 KB

Someone please explain to me how the CPU is a 3.4GHz CPU (which I've 
verified by reading it right off of the top of the processor) and yet 
two lines down it says that it's 2400.000 MHz (or 2.4GHz)  What happened 
with the missing 1GHz?  The second CPU reports the same thing.

Is this a motherboard issue?  Possibly not configured right?  If so, 
boy do I feel stupid considering this machine has been in production for 
a long time and no one's ever noticed.

Comments?

Just to add, for the sake of completeness :-) --- this idea is not used only 
in two dimensions. You can also plot random numbers as points in 3D space, or 
higher (if you are able to visualize them :-) ). If you get a surface-like 
shape instead of a cube-like shape, there is correlation, ie. the numbers are 
not random.

OTOH, you can get visually well-distributed graph of points (which suggests no 
correlation) for completely non-random distributions of numbers (think dense 
lattice or similar regular distributions), so plotting graphs is far from 
conclusive evidence of randomness.

IIRC from courses, randomness is in general a very tricky thing. There is no 
such thing as "a set of random numbers", but rather only a "a set of numbers 
that *appear* random in particular context". This means that each random 
number generator should be chosen (and verified to be good enough) for each 
particular problem where you want to use it. There is no "one size fits all" 
generator. That said, the best "one size fits most" generator is the one 
produced by measuring nuclear decays or such, and these are as random as one 
can get, in principle. :-)

Best, :-)
Marko

It's not 'FunnyKey', it's the Command or Apple key.  (And it's the 
Option key, Alt is used for some other OS).

Did you try "dhclient eth0"?  That makes a DHCP request for an IP 
address on that interface.

Yes and no. A compromise was reached on export restrictions to deflect a lot
of the push back, but strong encryption is still subject to review. This
gives the government control over what goes into commercial products.
I would expect that reasonably strong end to end encryption could be added
to cell phones for little incremental increase in cost for each phone (not
including the cost of the software development). I don't expect to see this
on normal cell phones any time soon as law enforcement isn't going to want
that. Some of the open source phones might start doing this and it will be
interesting to see what the reaction is.

Removing Lists from Thunderbird

[Jim]

I have Thunderbird making addional list in Address book, it is 
duplicating the same email addresses.

I have a new list called Collected Addresses and if I clear out 
duplicate addresses
it won't allow me to Delete this List.

The email addresses I want to keep are in my Personal Address Book, How 
do I get rid of this new List, "Collected Addresses" I don't want it, 
it's just creating duplicates ?

[389-users] How to setup 389-DS Client?

[Ajeet S Raina]

I have successfully configured 389-DS with SSL.
I want to setup RHEL Client for the server.
I tried running:

authconfig-tui
Select LDAP
Next
Select TLS
ldap://
dc=im,dc=logic,dc=com

But when I am trying to run:

dapsearch -h 389-ds.sap.com -b "dc=im,dc=sap,dc=com" -L "objectclass=*"
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6)
additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available:

Any Idea what should be the exact steps.
am I missing anything?

There is a bug in 389-ds-base-1.2.2 with DS->AD password sync.  This has 
been fixed in 1.2.5.rc4.  I suggest upgrading and giving that a try.

Fortunately no longer true, now that businesses want their customers to

That makes it seem likely that the label on this pretend CD is "Bluebirds"
(you could check with the blkid program).

Given that, you might be able to do the same thing I do to hide
my usb backup disk (labeled "BACKUP").

Pre fedora 12 (where hal did everything). I have this file:

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-stop-hal-stop.fdi




  

   true

  


Fedora 12 and after (where udev does everything instead):

/etc/udev/rules.d/99-zzz-local.rules

# tell annoying tools on system there is a friggin reason I didn't mount
# these things and they shouldn't go mounting them either.
#
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="BACKUP", ENV{DKD_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"

With these, unless I explicitly mount LABEL=BACKUP somewhere, it
stays mostly invisible. Hopefully all you'd have to do is change
BACKUP to Bluebirds.

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
  Krishnamurti
--- Begin Message ---
A few weeks ago I swapped out my old HP optical drive and installed a  
new LG unit. It works ok, but since I added it to my F11 box I have a  
persistent phantom disk called "bluebirds" on my desktop. It shows  
four files (autorun.inf, setup.exe, bluebirds.exe and drag&burn.exe).  
There is not any medium in the drive. Odd, eh?


Well, I googled around and it appears to be the case that LG provides  
this as firmware of some kind on the drive, apparently to provide burn  
software. It is a nuisance and anyway I do not want Windows  
executables (or anything else really) installed on my system without  
me knowing anything about it.


I don't see any way to get this disabled or generally make it go away.  
/proc/mounts shows this line:


/dev/sr0 /media/Bluebirds iso9660  
ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=500,gid=500,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500 0  


Could I do a firmware update? suggestions?

  can you be more specific?  what *exactly* did you use to set that
module parameter?  what did you use for the "module" string, and how
did that relate to the module you compiled into the kernel?

It seems that TRAMP is included in the emacs-common package for Fedora
- so I already had it installed. It works well, but it's not quite as
intuitive as the method I was trying to use.

It'll certainly do until I get a fix for my original though.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, well, from the logs it is evident that the monitor gets properly detected 
in both cases (when in focus and when not), but the resolution chosen 
(automatically) when not in focus is wrong, 800x600. This is probably some 
artifact of the interaction with KVM. Not sure precisely where is the problem, 
though.

Yes, that should be it. Try it out and see if it works. You should probably 
try it both when in focus and when not. It just might happen that the system 
refuses to give you 1680x1050 when not in focus, so in that case you should 
manually switch the resolution every time you get focus (with the above 
command).
 
> If presume that this stays with the machine and is not session based

No, AFAIK xrandr is interactive and does not store the settings anywhere. If 
you want the settings to stick, you can either use xorg.conf, or create a 
script (with the above command inside) and execute it whenever necessary --- 
after login, or after getting focus, or whenever the resolution isn't 
correct...

It appears you have two DVI outputs on your graphics card, but only one is 
connected to a monitor. I guess that the outputs are equivalent and either can 
be used, but if you want to test it, just plug in the cable in the other 
connector. :-) Anyway, I believe this should not matter much.

Best, :-)

Which compiler did you use?  gcc or the free Sun compiler?  If the 
latter, I don't think gdb will work - you'll have to use the Sun 
debugger (dbx?)

Both mod_nss and mod_admserv perform NSS initialization.  mod_nss should 
be loaded first, then mod_admserv.

I know that this is not exactly what you're after, but still... If you
want to edit files with Emacs via an ssh connection, have a look at
TRAMP. From the intro to the manual:

"After the installation of TRAMP into your GNU Emacs, you will be able
to access files on remote machines as though they were local.  Access
to the remote file system for editing files, version control, and
`dired' are transparently enabled."

HTH,
Andras

Someone else on the list has built packages for OpenSuse - search the

Probably what happened is that due to the apache config problem you ran 
into above, setup-ds-admin.pl did not complete successfully, and so 
nothing is going to work properly.  Unless you can get to the point 
where setup-ds-admin.pl runs successfully with no errors, you will have 
lots of problems that will be hard to get rid of.

The noise was probably not white.
If you have got diagonal parallel lines, the correlation between
two successive samples is almost for sure not 0. And white noise
implies zero autocorrelation at any non-zero distance.

Maybe the noise was somewhat white, but only upto a certain
frequency of the spectrum (no signal has infinite bandwidth) and
your fast sampling speed was beyond the limit.

Your "plot some graph" trick is actually a powerful way to detect
stupid random number generation, which can possibly lead to
significant security issues in some contexts.
See for example:

  http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/oldtcp/tcpseq.html

(and so I push the thread to be more in-topic for this list) :-)

I have tried, but no luck with fc12 and KDE. Tried also Mandriva/KDE, 
no worky there either... But tested so little time, have to test more...

Remote Editing

[Dave Cross]

I often need to edit files on a remote system. I like to do this by
setting up an SSH bookmark in the GNOME 'Places' menu (Places ->
Connect to Server). This gives me a Nautilus window on the remote
server from which I can open the required files in a local editor.

This used to work with both Emacs and Gedit. I'm not sure when things
changed, but it no longer works with Emacs.

So currently, I can right click on the icon for a remote file and
choose "open with 'text editor'". That opens the file in Gedit. If I
choose 'open with other application' and select Emacs from the list, I
don't get the file, I just see the default *GNU Emacs* buffer.

I thought that the problem might be in the way that the parameters
were passed the .desktop files associated with the two applications
and on investigation, there was a difference.

In /usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop we have:

  Exec=gedit %U

And in /usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop we have:

  Exec=emacs %f

It looks like %f is replaced with the filename and %U is replaced with
a URI. For remote-mounted systems I guess that you need a URI rather
than a filename, so I changed the %f in emacs.desktop to %U.

This gets me closer. Emacs now thinks it's opening a file of the right
name, but the location clearly confuses it as it can't find the
contents of the file. And when I try to save the empty file I get
"Error stating file: ... : No such file or directory".

My current theory is that Emacs doesn't understand the Gnome VFS that
is being used to mount the remote drive. Does that sound likely? Does
anyone have a way to fix this problem? Or to work round it?

I'm running F11 and it's fully updated. That means gnome-desktop
2.26.3-2 and gnome-vfs2 2.24.1-2.

Any advice highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Dave...

Does anybody use bluetooth on Fedora 12? Is it working for you when 
browsing files on your mobile phone?
