Gnome removed all files supporting Evolution and some other packages. One thing I like the add/remove menu because it gives dialogue box and I use it quite often. I used to unintall the evolution from FC7 and found no problem with the X server. Therefore, when the dialogue box listed files to be removed, I did not care. I should have been aware when removing packages shown in the gnome panel by default. > > This does sound like you removed more than just Firefox and Evolution. > Copying files from one box to another is just going to cause lots of > problems. One of which is maintaining what's installed on your system. Yes, it brings me to the old days as well, fully working on command line. I am not sure whether I can finally recover the systems, but at least now the X window starts to appear, although not full yet. Booting does not reach login front, I still need to press CTRL+ALT+F2 for completing runlevel 3, although the runlevel is set 5 in inittab. All panes stii disappear after login through the console and running startx. For the record, here I list some commands $ locate gnome | grep applet | less $ locate evolution | grep | less $ ls -d */ Comparing what shown in two boxes, I copy the missing files to the crashed one. I wanted to connect them via LAN cable, but I do not remember how to set the IP address through command line, I use usb stick instead $ mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/ $ cp -r /mnt/usb/files_to_copied ./proper_directory > The RPM database keeps track of what's installed on your computer.

I realize this point, that is why I wanted to use yum for updating. The problem is, I am using DSL connection and I do not know how to set up from the command line. Googling but didn't find explanation of manually setting ppp0. There is no ifcfg-ppp0 in the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ I think, once it is connected, the system can be fully recovered. I know updating can be performed from local dvd by modifying the script in /etc/yum.repos.d/, but I have not tried yet. >> Of course I can re-install FC14 again but I am sure that is not the >> only way of fixing it. > > In your case, it might be the easiest solution.

First remove any unnecessary symlinks you created. Fix icedtea: # yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin Install Oracle/Sun Java: # rpm -i jre-6u22-linux-i586.rpm Make it the system default: # alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 2 # alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so \ libjavaplugin.so /usr/java/default/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 2 To switch between IcedTea and Oracle/Sun (if necessary): # alternatives --config java # alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so If you require path variables like $JAVA_HOME, make sure to use the softlinked paths (eg. /usr/java/default/bin) instead of a hardcoded version path. Helps when you update/upgrade. If you have SELinux issues, might want to read this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628031 These steps seem to cause minimal interference with Fedora and any Java related dependencies.

Bug or Anomaly or What?
Just a few days ago, I switched from my old, reliable LG Flatron L1960TR-BF (4:3, 1280x1024) monitor to an Asus VH242 (16:9). Both are LCD types with flourescent tube, not LED, backlight. With everything shutdown, I hooked up the Asus using the LG's DVI-DVI cable. The boot went fine. New monitor got recognized and properly configured to 1920x1080. Nouveau driver. The desktop, however, had two panel anomalies. In the top panel, a couple of the application launchers got switched even though they had been locked. They still worked and were still shown "locked", but their place on the panel had been transposed. No problem. Switched them back, relocked, and it took even when rebooting. However, the bottom panel was the curious one. It was now at the top of the screen beneath the "top" panel, and would not reset to the bottom through Properties, nor would it go to the left or right. It changed to vertical and held the setting, but stayed centered at the top of the screen. After several failed attempts to alter its position, I just created a new, duplicate panel, set to the bottom which it went to, and deleted the original bottom panel. Problem solved or so I thought. When I rebooted the system the next day (I shut my system down when I go to bed), the new bottom panel was at the top just like the old one, and would not reset to the bottom. You could set "bottom", but the setting would immediately change back to "top" without the panel moving. I should mention that the top panel had "Extended" set, a solid color (white) background and transparency very transparent. The bottom panel was set the same, except Extended was turned off. I was able to "fix" the problem by setting the Extended option on the bottom panel, then it would move to the bottom and stay there after a boot. If not set to extended, it would not. Now, here's the real curious thing: I didn't have this problem with the LG monitor. Any clue as to the cause? A flaw in nouveau? I checked ps -ef and it lists two nouveau processes running. Don't remember having two with the LG. root 180 2 0 0 0 0 11:28 ?00:00:00 [nouveau/0] root 181 2 0 0 0 1 11:28 ?00:00:00 [nouveau/1] I'm running Fedora 12 64-bit. Fully updated.

Boost Thread Library not recongnized in Fedora 13
Hello, Fedorans!
I am trying to build Wesnoth 1.9.2 on Fedora 13 with scons.
It reports me that I am missing the Boost Thread Library,
Checking for Boost thread library... (cached) no
but I checked and already have installed the development headers for
Boost and Boost Thread:
$ sudo yum install boost-devel boost-thread
...
Setting up Install Process
Package boost-devel-1.41.0-9.fc13.x86_64 already installed and latest
version
Package boost-thread-1.41.0-9.fc13.x86_64 already installed and
latest version
Nothing to do
Package boost-devel contains thread development headers, as FranciscoD
stressed on #fedora:
$ rpm -ql boost-devel | grep 'thread'
...
/usr/include/boost/thread.hpp
/usr/include/boost/thread/future.hpp
...
As a workaround, I have commented out scons checking for Boost Thread
in SConstruct file:
conf.CheckBoost("thread") and \
However, the build failed eventually failed:
asio_sender.cpp: [...]: undefined reference to
`boost::thread::start_thread()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [wesnoth] Error 1
Am I missing something? Do I need to install one more package or set a
variable with boost-thread path , or hack SConstruct?
Any ideas? :-)
Thanks,

How to add a new section in logwatch report
I have an application that uses the logger -t command to add specific
messages in /var/log/messages. I'd like to add those in a section of it's
own in the logwatch report but am having trouble following the information
in /usr/share/doc/logwatch-7.3 in the HOWTO doc.
I added my new script/filter
/etc/logwatch/scripts/services/myfilter
myfilter is one simple awk comand:
awk '{ if ("mytag:" == $5) { print; }}'
I added the config file for it... /etc/logwatch/conf/myfilter.conf
Title = "My App Messages"
LogFile = messages
I also tried a more explicit, LogFile = /var/log/messages
What else do I need to do? when I add a test message to the log with
logger -t mytag this is a test
then run logwatch, I'm not seeing the test message in the report
What did I miss?
Thank you.

Reinstall -- Kernel panic

xsane error in F14
Hello list;
I have an Epson Perfection 610 USb scanner.
It worked fine in earlier versions of fedora.
I just hooked in up in F14 and get the following errors in xsane:
"error during CMS conversion: could not open scanner ICM profile"
or
"Failed to start scanner: invalid argument"
I tried this as root as well as mick.
I tried the preferences/setup/color management and set all the CMS lines to:
"/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.6.4/config/sRGB.icm"
If I enable color management, exit and restart xsane, I get:
"Error during CMS conversion: could not create transform.
Any ideas?
This is a fully updated F14 x64 box.
Mick M.

I tried to copy > those from another FC14 box but this did not fix the problem. This does sound like you removed more than just Firefox and Evolution. Copying files from one box to another is just going to cause lots of problems. One of which is maintaining what's installed on your system. The RPM database keeps track of what's installed on your computer. It's updated by using the rpm command, or yum (the preferred option, now). It knows nothing about files added or removed by other methods, so missing file can foul up other things, and additional files may get stomped on when you next install/update a package. > Of course I can re-install FC14 again but I am sure that is not the > only way of fixing it. In your case, it might be the easiest solution. Otherwise, you're going to have to manually remove the files you copied from the other box (can you remember exactly what you did), and reinstall any essential packages that were removed when you removed Evolution. Which may mean you have to put up with Evolution being installed (it's only a waste of disc space, and updating bandwidth, if you don't use it; but having an unused program won't change how Fedora behaves for you). Other options may be to use something else instead of Gnome (KDE, FVWM, etc.), which have far less dependencies. Though it's been my experience that all desktops insist on installing at least a few things that I don't want. I always found KDE to be much more of a behemoth than Gnome. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

In my case I tried "init 1" and most processes, including the X server, were eventually killed. However, I had waaay too many processes left by the time I got to the single user prompt. As I recall, there were about half a dozen of which the only one I can remember is the openoffice.org quick start thing.
