Tim: At any rate, it's unusual to use the case as the heatsink, unless you're buying one of those expensive silent PCs. It's the fans that do the heat dissipation. g: if you do not want to cremate the cpu, be sure you have a fan or two. Some don't have any, nor need any. They use heatpipes to shift the heat from the CPU, to massive heatsinks (the whole side of the case, with thick metal) that can absorb a lot of heat. The usual tiny CPU heatsinks aren't the world's best radiators. They do need fan forced cooling, at least since about the 386 era. And, even with it, they're not always that brilliant. Put your fingers on some of them, and they're still painfully hot, despite a fan whizzing its heart out. And they're very susceptible to mechanical failure, and clogging with dust. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

F13 x64 Dolphin Details displays double-spaced
Hi;
I just started to get some folders displaying as double-spaced in dolphin.
I always use 'details' as default mode.
I have no idea how this happened, it is only on some folders.
I can see no difference in these folders from others that display fine.
Dolphin - help - about dolphin = version 1.4 using KDE 4.45
The system is fully updated as of just before this post.
thanks

On Friday, August 13, 2010 06:42:29 Don Quixote de la Mancha wrote: Interestingly, the physicist Planck derived that emission spectrum from purely classical considerations of systems of harmonic oscillators. I'm afraid I don't recall the derivation, but it has the curious property that it explains a fundamentally quantum mechanical phenomenon without the use of any quantum mechanics in the derivation. Purely classical! It isn't purely classical. It has the assumption that energy is emitted in discrete amounts, ie. is quantized, rather than being emitted in a continuous (arbitrary) amounts. That was the crucial ingredient in the derivation. Of course, at that time quantum mechanics was not yet formulated, so the derivation was heuristic in nature (rather than being a straightforward consequence of quantum mechanics). But it was definitely not purely classical. Planck's Constant h is found in the function that describes that spectrum, and can be calculated from that derivation. By calculated from that derivation I guess you mean its value determined from that function and some experimental data. There is no theory that could predict the value of h, nor should there be any such theory. Now here is where it gets really bizarre: h bar divided by two is the spin of the electron! That is, when we say that electrons are spin one-half particles, we mean that their angular momentum is h bar divided by two. Spin one particles like photons have an angular momentum of one h bar. The presence of Planck's constant in the magnitude of angular momenta is immaterial. It is purely a consequence of the fact that we are used to measurement units of everyday life scales (meter, second, kilogram), which are obviously not so well adapted to atomic and particle scales. What is really bizarre is the fact that the spin of an electron is half- integer. One needs to rotate an electron by full two circles (720 degrees, or 4\pi radians) to get it back to its initial position. Of course, for an elementary particle the idea of classical rotation doesn't make much sense. But there is *no* classical body around us with such geometric properties, which is why we are so adapted to think that 360 degree turn always brings us back to initial position. And that is why electron spin is so bizarre. :-) Best, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

My replica configuration objects use the correct ids (1 for B) and (2 for A).

Right, you cannot just delete the attribute, you have to delete the entire

Then I though I just delete the entire entry
(nsuniqueid=---,dc=your,dc=suffix).
This crashes the ldap server!
Why does it not help, if I don't get rid of it? Since the info stays in
there, even after replication was disabled, I can not use this entry in
order to determine whether the server was already initialized, when I enable
replication for a second time.
I think, I found a solution to this by using some objects from my internal
framework.
However, the ldap server should not crash, when I try to delete this
entry
I think we fixed that crashing bug a while ago. Can you post a stack trace?

I've never done it on that router, but on the Linksys routers I've flashed, I have NOT had to hard reset it before upgrading. Only after the initial install. Also, on some Linksys routers, you had to install the mini version first as the router would choke on the full install, but after installing the mini DD-WRT you can proceed to install the full size version. Keep in mind this may only apply to Linksys routers.

It is interesting there are different behaviours: # LTab LabPlot LibraryLocal # cd DeskTab (expanded to Desktop, so it worked) # LTab LabPlot LibraryLocal # ListTab (Beeps everytime a Tab is hit, but no list is given) Dumb question - is there a file List or Listsomething in the current directory? From what you describe, it does not sound like there is... As for running ListTab, do you have a command List or Listsomething in your path? Mikkel Yes, in the original post, I said that there is a ListAvailable file in the Desktop directory, so bash-completion does not find any matching file there. It seems that bash-completion does not work on local files that are known to be there, and I tried it on links, and directories (except for Desktop which it did expand) UNLESS it is prefixed with certain commands in front of it, such as: # cd ~/Desktop # ls ListTab ListAvailable So it worked.

There's no info file or man page and the online site is not at all informative. The info file on bash itself only documents the basic completion functions but not how the bash-comnpletion package uses them. The devels seem to think that one should just know how it works because to a large extent it copies some of the functionality of other shells such as zsh. Or you can read the config files. This is hardly acceptable IMHO. /rant The upshot is that while your first two examples (completion of the first word on the line) are clear and are almost certainly not bugs, the third example (redirecting stdout) is mysterious and seems to depend on which specific command you're typing. I asked you to check what happens with ls fooTab but you don't seem to have replied so far.

Ok, tried it. It does not do anything at all. Completion is user defined. If you define it as Esc, then it is escape. If you define it as TabTab then that's what it is. Be careful is your shell also uses vi mode for command line editing. For example: I use ksh. in my .profile, set -o vi allows me to bring up command history with Esc\pattern which lists the neares command in the history. Now if I press Esc then v i will enter vi edit screen to do extensive changes to the command, In such a case, you do not want Esc to be your filename completion character. Otherwise, Esc is a valid choice for filename completion. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Re: F-13 qnw wireless routers -
Bob Goodwin wrote: This is a current updated f-13 computer connected to our home LAN. I have been using a Buffalo Airstation WLI-TX4-AG300N, essentially an Ethernet wireless adapter to access the system. I recently bought a Netgear WNDR330 dual band N wireless router and am having a lot of trouble getting it to perform as advertised. This is a less than 20 year old typical two story frame house. I would expect the walls to be essentially transparent to RF energy. Normally the distance between the router and the wireless adapter is less than forty feet and there has been no problem operating in the 2.4 gHz band however I find that with equipment located as it has been for several years the new router will not function at that distance in the 5 gHz band. In fact to get any connection at all I have to reduce the distance to about ten feet which pretty well negates the advantage of a wireless system. I decided several years ago that running cables in this house is out of the question. Does anyone have experience with a similar system? I would be interested to know if my observations are typical or if I have an equipment problem. I am considering obtaining a different wireless adapter device to replace the Buffalo unit since it is the only thing unchanged here. Any suggestions or observations will be appreciated. I feel,like I am operating in a vacuum with no one to consult. When Wireless-n was approved I bought a cheap Rosewill AP from Newegg and a USB dongle, and a PCI USB card so I could learn ad hoc networks. I am in an 1895 three story Victorian house, my computer room is on the 2nd floor. I bought this equipment because it was cheap and I could return it. Haven't yet. I work all over the house, on the porch, in the back yard, it's all good. My usual workplace is a recliner in the library, in front of the TV.

Add to that the fact that I am in a rural area surrounded by cotton and soy beans, the distance to the road is about 200 meters, I don't think LAN security is a major worry. I can't detect any other systems when I scan. Well, WEP will keep out the casual person looking for an open wifi. To be honest, I think that is good enough unless you have a bored and highly talented kid living next door. I live across the street from a college. My security is better than theirs, thankfully. Reminds me of the joke about the two hikers preparing for a bear encounter. One hiker is removing his hiking boots and putting on sneakers. The other points out how useless this is because you can't outrun a bear. The first retorts, I don't have to outrun the bear I only have to outrun you. In the same vein, you don't need great security, you just need something better than the school next door. ;-) Personally, I still believe in WPA2-only with CCMP-only and hex passwords pulled from /dev/random. It's not that much more work to set up that way and give the attackers something very substantial to chew on. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.

I do have the network up in Single user mode. Perhaps your python installation got corrupted??? Assuming your current python version is: 2.6.2-8 Do this: cd /tmp wget -c -ndH http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/12/x86_64/python-2.6.2-8.fc12.x86_64.rpm yum -y install ./python-2.6.2-8.fc12.x86_64.rpm and then retry yum -y update If it is an older version, they you will have to search for it. Oooops! You are in single user mode. Well, now that you know how to bring up the network manually, init 5 and after the desktop comes up login, and if necessary, bring up the net manually (if it did not stay up after doing init 5), and then run sudo yum -y update If that fails with the same reason, you will have to bring up your browser to find the right version. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
