Re: [389-users] Strange about MMR Setup?

2010-01-30 Thread Ajeet S Raina
Hello Meggin,

Something to ask you before putting it on bugs.
While I was busy setting up MMR through mmr.pl, I did some manual changes on
Console with Replication.
I selected NetRoot and UserRoot option with Enable logs[*] and did provided
the following :

cn=repman,ou=People,ou=im,dc=sap,dc=com

on Supplier DN Add button.

Is it something which made the consumer rename as Supplier.


Anyone who came across this before - Consumer Naming convention changes to
supplier while replicating.

   Surprisingly, when I opened 389-Management Console of both the

   Is it because of Replication?
  could be - could you post some screenshots?

Re: Document Viewer can not open latest PDF?

2010-01-30 Thread Chris Smart
2010/1/30 Oliver Ruebenacker cur...@gmail.com:
     Hello,

  On a fully updated F12, I try to open the following link

  http://apply07.grants.gov/apply/opportunities/packages/oppPA-10-063-cidADOBE-FORMS-B.pdf

  with the default Document Viewer, and the Document Viewer opens and
 displays instead of the document the following message:


Same thing with Okular (KDE4).

Interestingly enough, it also says there are embedded documents, which
I can save out. There's another pdf in there about Budget or
something..

PDF 1.4 is an open standard, but Adobe products tend to extent the
standard which can make their PDFs incompatible with standards based
readers. Most annoying..

Thunderbird and Junk folder

2010-01-30 Thread Suvayu Ali
Hi everyone,

I was trying to find my Junk mail folder to check for any mislabelled 
messages, but couldn't find it. I access 3 email accounts; Gmail, Zimbra 
and I am not sure what the third one is (work related), the Junk Mail 
folder is missing in all three. I can however see the Junk folder from 
Kmail.

I am using Thunderbird 3 on F11 x86_64. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Fedora12 Release Notes.

2010-01-30 Thread reg
What has happened to the concept of release notes that a person could
actually print down and read?

Previous releases have had Release Notes that were mabe 20 pages long, with a
sentence or two about each change.

I looked at the Release Notes for Fedora12, and its a 500page PDF document.
Now thats way longer than I want to print, since I would never read it all, and
there is no way Im going to read more than a page or two of it online. 

So basically, someone has spent a lot of time, generating a very nice looking 
document, which I am sure has a lot of good information in it, but we need 
something more compact. Something I can read in 10minutes.

As it stands, I have to assume that I, and everyone else just ignores these
Release Notes.  Too bad.

 I need something that works a bit like the old db25 tester with a bunch of 
 LED's to tally the line states like that gismo Radio Shack sold 20 years ago.
 Those blinking leds were a very good troubleshooting tool, and I'm having 
 flow control problems that look like a system freeze on one end or the other, 
 but when rz times out, I still get a prompt from the shell on the other end, 
 but nothing I type here arrives there, like hardware flow is still in effect 
 and turned off on one end or the other.
 
 Thanks All for any hints.
 
You can try statserial and see if it will do what you want. It is
even in the repos.

 So, the S/PDIF wire is now in the right plug and... sound still

 corresponds to the setting in the GNOME top panel.
 
 If I press F6, my integrated audio card appears as 0 - HDA ATI SB
 
 I make all my settings, but it has not effect: it seems the Default is

Make sure you have the polarity correct on your jumper. Hooking it
up backwards can damage the video card and/or the sound card.

Then check your Pulse Audio settings to make sure you have the
digital output enabled. This has already been covered in this thread...

Testing sound?

2010-01-30 Thread Timothy Murphy
The sound on my Thinkpad T43 (model 1871-12G) sometimes works,
and sometimes does not work.
I think this has something to do with Suspend to Disk.

However, I'm not really asking about this,
but rather: Is there a simple way of testing if sound is working?

I'm running Fedora-12/KDE, and looked at System Settings=
Look and Feel=Notifications ,
but did not really understand how one is supposed to use this.

Is there a simple command-line test for sound?

Shouldn't there be a test somewhere in KMix
since there seem to be a billion choices there?

The only test I have found is to put in a CD and run Amarok,
but I am sure there is something simpler than that?

FC11 Install Requires Network Connectivity?

2010-01-30 Thread Tod Thomas
I'm in the middle of rebuilding two new machines, neither of them are 
attached to the network.  After following the prompts (3-4 screens) I 
get Some of your software repositories require networking but there was 
an error enabling the network on your system. and no other option but 
to exit the installation.

AM I reading this right?  I can't do a standalone install anymore w/o 
network connectivity?  I'm sure I didn't download the Live CD but just 
to make sure I'm downloading the DVD ISO again and reburning.  Is there 
a way to get around this?  What am I doing wrong?

If you only enable the install (DVD) repo, you will not require the

How do I put Multiple live distro's on a USB flash drive.

2010-01-30 Thread tux
I have an 8GB flash drive that I would like to put multiple Fedora Live 
CD's on. (KDE,Gnome,LXDE,XFCE, FEL, Games and Edu,Third party spins, etc. )

Does anyone have any advice on how to do this?

Can I put 32 bit and 64 bit live cd's on the same flash drive and choose 
between them?

Thank you,

Tux

 How did you configure the Thunderbird Junk controls for each account,

For both email clients the Junk Settings are what ever the defaults are. 
When I checked after your response, thunderbird had adaptive junk

I know the information I am providing above is not exhaustive at all,

Re: RaLink rt3090 support

 Hi all,

 I installed F12 on a Eee PC 1001HA. Everything workes fine except the
 wireless chipset, RaLink RT3090

 Google turned up various leads, such as this thread:
 http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=236729

 One  poster writes:

 Kernel-2.6.32-0.63.rc8.git2.fc13 includes a module for the rt3090 chip in
 the staging directory.


 Someone filed a bug against this:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548805

 One of the followups indicates:

 Staging: remove no longer needed rt3090 driver
 rt2860 handles now all rt2860/rt3090 chipsets.

 Now I am thoroughly confused. :)

Since I'm the one who wrote the post and filed the bug, let me confuse you a 
bit 
more.  Starting with the 2.6.33 kernel, support for the rt3090 is supposed to 
be 
included in the rt2800pci module.  I've tried the 2.6.33 kernels in rawhide, 
but 
they don't work.  The kernel tries to load the module, calls for the rt2860 
firmware file, and then gives up.  Ralink updated its rt3090 driver this week. 
I'm hopeful it includes a fix, which will soon be incorporated into the kernel:

http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2

In the meantime, I'm still using the 2.6.32-0.63.rc8.git2.fc13 kernel.  I'm not 
running rawhide, just using the kernel with f12.  You can still find the kernel 
through koji.  Please add your information to the bug.  It may help to speed up 
resolution of this issue.

chromium vs google-chrome

2010-01-30 Thread Mail Lists

  Thank you Spot for providing a chromium repo - I am not sure where to
report this so am starting here;

   Java works fine in google-chrome - but not in chromium.

   about:plugins shows the sun java (new api libnpjp2.so,  vers
1.6.0u18) just as it does for google-chrome however any java test fails
to find java.

Adding links to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins makes no difference.

This is on 64 bit - I think 32 bit has same problem.

Dual monitor questions

2010-01-30 Thread Paolo Galtieri
I have a video card with 2 connectors, one VGA and one DVI.  The primary
monitor is attached to the VGA connector and supports resolution up to
1920x1200.  The second monitor is much smaller and does not support
1920x1200. When I connect the second monitor to the DVI connector the top
and bottom Gnome panels shift to the DVI monitor, but the rest of the
desktop remains on the VGA monitor.  If I unplug the second monitor the
panels do not move back to the VGA monitor.  I can move from the primary
monitor to the second monitor by moving the mouse of the right edge so
everything seems to work fine, but it's confusing having part of the desktop
on one monitor and part on the other.

Is there anyway to force the Gnome panels to stay on the primary monitor and
not shift to the second monitor?

I'm running the F12 nouveau driver.

Trying to configure the primary monitor input as DVI failed with it
indicating no signal and connecting the second monitor to VGA resulted in it
indicating it did not support that resolution.

statserial tarball

2010-01-30 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings folks;

It appears that statserial will almost do what I want, although without the 
blinkenlites I was looking for.  However its refresh rate of once a second is 
about 10x too slow, so I think I'm missing some flow control events.

Where can I find a tarball of the most recent version, google seems to only 
hit on ready to run rpms  debs.

If you can find a srpm, just download that and extract the tarball from
there.  Bonus:  You get a working spec file out of it and can therefore
(usually) build yourself a new, modified, srpm with minimal effort if
you want to.

How nice to see a Fedora document! I used to refer to similar documents back in 
the 
days of Red Hat 5+. When looking for help on the web, invariably web sites will 
have extensive mention of how to do things on Ubuntu, but Fedora is Cinderella 
to 
her Ubuntu step-sister.

In quickly scanning through the document, I noticed 2 errors: the virtual 
terminal 
description at the beginning says that the graphical terminal is on 
ctrl-alt-f7; 
and in the description of /etc/inittab, it talks about ctrl-alt-delete, giving 
a 
dated description.

I am glad that this document is finally available and, no doubt, it will be 
corrected and will show how things are done on Fedora nowadays. This is 
important, 
as Fedora has evolved hugely, being a cutting edge distribution, and things 
have 
changed a lot since the early days of Linux. A reliable and up-to-date 
reference is 
essential and will fill the gaps that the web does not.

 What has happened to the concept of release notes that a person could
 actually print down and read?

 Previous releases have had Release Notes that were mabe 20 pages long, with a
 sentence or two about each change.

 I looked at the Release Notes for Fedora12, and its a 500page PDF document.
 Now thats way longer than I want to print, since I would never read it all, 
 and
 there is no way Im going to read more than a page or two of it online. 

 So basically, someone has spent a lot of time, generating a very nice 
 looking 
 document, which I am sure has a lot of good information in it, but we need 
 something more compact. Something I can read in 10minutes.

 As it stands, I have to assume that I, and everyone else just ignores these
 Release Notes.  Too bad.
   
 Well, you can count me out in your assumption.
 
 I enjoy the entire 496 page document that has a comprehensive index
 which makes it easy for me to locate change information on the subjects
 most important to me.  I entirely appreciate the amount of time and
 effort it took those responsible to create this fine document.
 
 I wouldn't want to see less information in the release notes.  I'm
 impressed that someone went to the effort to list all of the upstream
 URLs and have found that to be of great value to me.
 
Obviously you have lots of time to fill. I would be a lot happier with a list 
of 
what changes and a sentence or two describing the new version or pointing to 
great detail if I want or need it. If you are looking at will this change 
effect me you don't want War and Peace you want the Cliff Notes or less.

 Besides, I don't know how anyone could create a document which would
 contain all the information that conforms to each individual's 10 minute
 attention span.  Any document that short would certainly leave out
 information important to someone.
 
In many cases you don't want or need that level of detail. Updated to vx.y.z 
may be sufficient. A few pages allow reading on the train, in boring meetings 
if 
you sit properly in the back, and in lots of places where a laptop would be out 
of place, like a chain restaurant or even in the can.

 FWIW, I can't remember the last time I printed a even a 10 page document. 
 
Old age creeps up on all of us.

 So, you were right. On the motherboard, the sockets and the labelling

 So, the S/PDIF wire is now in the right plug and... sound still
 doesn't get out on the TV. Maybe this has to do with Alsamixer
 defaulting on Default, with only has a setting for Master. This
 corresponds to the setting in the GNOME top panel.

 If I press F6, my integrated audio card appears as 0 - HDA ATI SB

 I make all my settings, but it has not effect: it seems the Default is
 always enabled.

 Make sure you have the polarity correct on your jumper. Hooking it
 up backwards can damage the video card and/or the sound card.

What's the way to know polarity is correct, except trying both
positions? For now, the arrow on the plug is facing outwards.

 Then check your Pulse Audio settings to make sure you have the
 digital output enabled. This has already been covered in this thread...

You wrote:

If you have selected to use only the digital output, you are NOT
going to get sound out of the analog outputs on your computer. You
do know that you can not hook speakers directly to the digital
output, right?

... but i suppose that's not it.

I right clicked on the Speaker in the top panel, and tried every
setting with digital in it: it doesn't work. I set alsamixer to have
both analog and digital S/PDIF output enabled, then only digital out.
No result. I suppose it is normal that you can't rise the volume since
the TV controls the volume, the HDMI cable feeding a preamp signal.

Please note that, since Twinview doesn't work, I use 2 Xscreens. It's
not possible, for instance, to run Firefox or any other applications
on both screens at the same time.

It's impossible to have the notification area on the TV. So, I can
only hope that the settings in the notification area are valid on the
TV. But it seems so since what is in Klipper -- that I use with GNOME
-- can be copied to gedit on the TV screen. So, this seems OK.

 12 is visually much nicer, and has some good improvements - but I think
 that's good advice. The FC12 virtualisation still crashes (in bugzilla
 getting debugged) and there are some other rough edges.


Agreed.
Give it time and it will be a winner, but then Fedora 13 or 14 will be 
up and running.
This is why I look into upgrading a production os every  2nd or 3rd 
version and just play around with the latest version getting the hang of 
it's new attributes and capabilities.

 Well, you can count me out in your assumption.

 I enjoy the entire 496 page document that has a comprehensive index
 which makes it easy for me to locate change information on the subjects
 most important to me.  I entirely appreciate the amount of time and
 effort it took those responsible to create this fine document.

 I wouldn't want to see less information in the release notes.  I'm
 impressed that someone went to the effort to list all of the upstream
 URLs and have found that to be of great value to me.

 
 Obviously you have lots of time to fill. I would be a lot happier with a list 
 of 
 what changes and a sentence or two describing the new version or pointing to 
 great detail if I want or need it. If you are looking at will this change 
 effect me you don't want War and Peace you want the Cliff Notes or less.
   
That is a totally incorrect observation.

I don't have lots of time to fill.   I only scan the document and use
the index to find what I need at the time that I need it.
   
 Besides, I don't know how anyone could create a document which would
 contain all the information that conforms to each individual's 10 minute
 attention span.  Any document that short would certainly leave out
 information important to someone.

 
 In many cases you don't want or need that level of detail. Updated to 
 vx.y.z 
 may be sufficient. A few pages allow reading on the train, in boring meetings 
 if 
 you sit properly in the back, and in lots of places where a laptop would be 
 out 
 of place, like a chain restaurant or even in the can.
   
You have missed my point entirely.

I love this document since it is a one stop shop.  I may not need all
the information now nor need that level of detail now.  But, in the
event I do need information Q or details on Q there is a single point of
reference.  Saves time and effort. 

Now, you may not operate in that way.  And. I could make an obvious
observation about your poor study habits...but that would be wrong. 
   
 FWIW, I can't remember the last time I printed a even a 10 page document. 

 
 Old age creeps up on all of us.

   
I certainly hope that is an attempt at humor as I am sure you know
exactly what I mean to convey there.

However, in the event you don't know

*I* haven't printed a document longer than 4 pages in over 3 years. 
Last month, however, I inadvertently started to print a web page that
was over 7 pages long.  (Went directly to a URL which landed me in the
middle of the page and didn't notice it at 3:45AM)  As soon as I heard
the printer doing more than expected I went to the room with the printer
and killed the job.

To make it even more clearas a personal rule *I* avoid printing
documents that *I* can easily read at my computer.

QTParted - normal behaviour or BZ?

2010-01-30 Thread DB
Evening All,

Just tried to run QTParted on my F11-KDE desktop.  If I click on the 
internal Linux formatted HDD, all is well.

If I click on my external HDD (still NTFS), QTParted starts to look at 
the drive, then vanishes.  Tried running it from Konsole  got the 
message that QTParted is not yet able to work on NTFS partitions.

Question: is it correct/normal behaviour for an app just to vanish, 
rather than to give an error indication?  Should it be BZed?

Read the rpmbuild manpage for many other wonderful things, such as -bb

It *does* give an error message.  Your argument is instead that it
should produce a shiny dialog box that you have to click on, vs a
terse announcement on STDERR.

If it's *supposed* to produce that shiny dialog box (quick look at
source will tell you), and it doesn't, then it should have a bug filed
against it with Fedora.  If it's not supposed to, and you think it
should, then it's an upstream request.

JFS native kernel support.

2010-01-30 Thread Vitaliy T
Greetings all,

I was surprised by the performance JFS in Ubuntu 10.04 alpha on my
laptop. As I understand it everything is fine with the license and JFS
also works with SELinux. Why drop support for JFS from the kernel and
made it as a module? I do not want to argue about that JFS is better
or worse ext4/xfs/etc, I just want to know why when installing Fedora
12, I can not format the partition as JFS?

Thank you!

This could be your yum history database getting corrupted.

$ sudo rm -f /var/lib/yum/history/*

(This will of course keep you from rolling back transactions from your
history, as it'll be gone.)

 Dear All,
 
 Would you mind to tell me does the DELL R710 Server and Raid Controller
 support with FC11 OS ?
 http://www1.ap.dell.com/hk/en/business/servers/server-poweredge-r710/pd.aspx?refid=server-poweredge-r710s=bsdcs=hkbsd1

Yes.  Not that Dell officially supports such, but it works.  Tools
such as Dell OpenManage are not expected to work on Fedora.  You just
can't call Dell Technical Support with OS-related questions (you of
course can call regarding hardware issues).

You may also wish to join the linux-poweredge mailing list
(http://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge) which is
for system administrators of Dell PowerEdge servers.

Thanks,
Matt

Nope - sleep only accepts an integer value. Using sleep, 1 second it
the best you will get.

Ok, is there some other time waster with a finer resolution that can be 
subbed?

Thanks Mikkel.

He probably wants usleep() which sleeps for microsecond intervals.

Precisely, a usleep(5) would be much better .  And some man page studying 
for rpmbuild options.  I tried to edit the .c source, but then it refused to 
build and that was not the error it spit out.  We'll poke at it some more 
tomorrow unless I start plowing thru the sources I have for sc6551.asm to 
make that driver, for an H63C09 equipt trs-80 Color Computer 3, now running 
Nitros9.

Specifically, I need rpmbuild to stop after unpacking and patching the 
tarball, giving me a chance to edit the .c file to change that, and then 
restart at the next step.  I've been through the man page a couple of times, 
and how to do that hasn't exactly reached up and slapped me.  Hints welcome 
of course.

Thanks Rod.

You're complicating things far more than they need to be.

yum install rpmdevtools

rpmdev-setuptree

rpmbuild --rebuild whatever.src.rpm

cd ~/rpmbuild

See the RPMS, SOURCES, SPECS and SRPMS subdirectories.  Look inside for
stuff.

Read the rpmbuild manpage for many other wonderful things, such as -bb
using a spec file (in the SPECS directory, of course) to create a new
rpm and srpm after modifying stuff in SOURCES.

Thanks Frank, I'll see if I can make some headway in this tomorrow.

 Obviously you have lots of time to fill. I would be a lot happier 
 with a list of what changes and a sentence or two describing the new 
 version or pointing to great detail if I want or need it. If you are 
 looking at will this change effect me you don't want War and Peace 
 you want the Cliff Notes or less.

The Release Notes are only 30 pages long.  The other 469 pages are some 
other tabular documents that are glommed onto the end of the real 
Release Notes.

 The sound on my Thinkpad T43 (model 1871-12G) sometimes works,

 However, I'm not really asking about this,

 I'm running Fedora-12/KDE, and looked at System Settings=
 Look and Feel=Notifications ,
 but did not really understand how one is supposed to use this.

 Is there a simple command-line test for sound?
 

   
 Go to  Notifications as you have  There is a pull down Event
 Source menuSelect Konsole

 Go to Bell in Non-Visible Session to copy the name of the file
 KDE-Sys-App-Message.ogg in the Play a Sound area.

 Then go to Bell in Visible Sessionpaste the name of the sound and
 check the Play a sound box.  Then Apply

 From now on...if you hit backspace or make some sort of error a beep
 will be played.
 

 Thanks for the response.
 I tried this, but unfortunately did not get a peep out of it.
 I can play CDs with internal speaker or headphones, with Amarok or KsCD,
 but none of the Notifications seem to work.

 Is there any CLI command for making a noise from a .ogg fil3
   
mplayer /usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-App-Message.ogg  (or any .ogg file)

works for me...
