There are exactly three things that show up when I login remotely using Xrdp in the dialog box. 1. Module 2. User Name 3. Password There are no other choices and the entire screen is black except for the login dialog box. I don't see anywhere you can enter a choice for the desktop to use. I know you can what you mentioned from the locally connected console screen, just not remotely over a network. That's what I'm trying to find out if there is a way to do it without having to perminetly change the desktop started for each user. I want the user to pick what they want to use at login time using a remote connection without affecting anybody else on the system. Regards; Leland C.

Not sure, but it sounds like the burned media is corrupted. That is, the ISO you burned is probably OK, but while burning it didn't burn properly. Try burning at a slower speed. You should also verify that the ISO you downloaded isn't corrupt. I think it gives instructions how to do that on the download page. -- 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

Certificates are the default method. As to getting your own Certificate Authority on the phones, that should not be hard. Look for a good Android guide and it should point out how to do this.

Re: XRDP - Howto select which desktop to run at login?
>fc11 is outdated, I recommend you to use fedora 14 Easy to recommend but I don't have that choice. Anyway I know what some of the common problems are for Fedora-11, Fedora-14 I may as well start all over again, a waste of my time. I have a Fedora-13 box where I can't even get the qemu-kvm system updated where you can install Windows XP Pro or 2000 Pro as a VM without a failure on the second stage install. It's a known bug and there doesn't appear to be any real interest in fixing it. It works fine on Fedora-11 however. I don't know if this problem is fixed on Fedora-14 or not for sure. There is something to be said with sticking with an older version where most of the bugs have been ironed out. >to change which desktop to run you need to edit startwm.sh under /etc/xrdp That I already know about.

XRDP - Howto select which desktop to run at login?
I installed some packages I needed to build a package the other day. It loaded up a bunch of the KDE libraries and development files. When I logged back in the next day my desktop had switched from Genome to KDE. I finally found out I had to edit the order of which desktop to start in a file in the XRDP folder. Apparently this selects the desktop for all remote logins. That got me thinking. Is there anyway to pick on a per user, and per session basis, which desktop is started on login using XRDP?

F14 boot hangs on atd -- temptation to suppuku
My oldest PC (an inherited Dell PowerEdge SC1420, remodeled by a friend who speaks hardware, to run without RAID, serving as live storage and emergency backup) boots as far as "starting atd" (which says OK), and hangs. What comes after atd, or should?? And why launch atd anyhow? According to the man page, it should have been swallowed up in cron long since. Anyway, I suspect the real trouble is misrecognition of the monitor. That's an HP w2207h, at 1680x1050; but xrandr reports 800x480. livna-config-display (which I happened to stumble on, whatever it is) seems to tell me the F14 install lacks nvidia -- though I have both rpmfusion repos enabled. Running gpk under ssh -Y from another machine on the LAN, and searching nvidia, finds a long list of modules. Trying to install them all tells me it gets a lot of conflicts with 96xx and 173xx; I go back and remove them -- which takes some doing. Then I get errors because something I checked is older than something already installed. (Remember something earlier told me I had *no* nvidia. Some of the attempts that appeared to fail must have done good things while I wasn't looking, maybe ...) Finally, finally, a gpk-application does complete. I close it, and tell the beleagured old machine to reboot. It gets to starting atd, calls that OK -- and hangs.

Re: partition table
You shouldn't name your lvs like pathnames as you did. It is just going to confuse you down the road. A common naming is lv_. Ie lv_root. So to address the lv from lvdisplay you do vg-name/lv-name. It is not a path to a file system location. Lvdisplay only worls from that naming convention.

I am beginning to feel really frustrated. Simple things are not working, things I know how to do I am not doing correctly, and even when I fix that I don't seem to get any response, up until now. I have put a pointer to the file in the correct location now, but it still doesn't load.

Most references were to compiling with gcc vs gpp or g++. One was addressing an issue with pulse from 2005. Nothing current except one ubuntu entry which had insufficient debugging information. However the links to gcc and gpp and g++ issues leads me to believe this is due to lacking a library of some kind. Reading the entries the assistance provided was to null define __gxx_personality_v0, which doesn't seem like a good solution, and wouldn't apply in my case anyway as I am not compiling the code. I did not find any library defining gxx_personality_v0 in links. Any help anyone?

I've seen these a time or two, from seemingly random websites; one of them was a technical blog about the merits of JFS versus XFS. I have a screenshot of that one. Yesterday I found another. In my case, I hit the X for that tab, and then hit ok (since the systempack107_2089.exe that that downloaded won't autorun on Linux; and you really don't want to set up autorun through wine...:-)). And it went away. Got the .exe though for future analysis. That same advice on Windows produces a tenacious infection of a rogue antivirus program that is in reality a virus itself that tries to scam you out of money for buying a subscription. It's just a matter of time before the rogue antivirus writers figure out how to make this work with Linux.unfortunately. Time for sandboxing of Firefox and other apps that can run that mess. And while such a virus can't overwrite system files if you're browsing as a normal user, it certainly *can* infect your own files, such as .bashrc for one, which would produce essentially the same effect as on Windows (and with the default F14 setup disallowing root logins, you need to make a second 'rescue' user to remove such nasties without reverting to a text console and root). -- 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

But the fact is that all languages rely on pointers. Even the beloved scripting languages so many tout, cannot exist without pointers. The fact is that all data in the computer resides in memory or on disk or some other file system. Every file system depends on pointers. If you look for example (using one of the oldest and free forms that is easily accessible) FAT 16, The base structure starts with the location 0, which is a pointer to a data store describing the disk. In turn, from that you find pointers to the partition table. From that you find pointers to the FAT table itself, and to the data. From the fat table you get an array of indexed pointers to data segments which are pointers to boundaries of data blocks, and from the partition table you get a description of the sector layout, the retrieval blocking and other information about the structure, which allow you to decode the FAT table and extract the data. The beloved object oriented folks have pointers built in, that are used to access the procedures that affect the objects. The objects are in fact structures, which are created in blocks and again pointers are used to reference that information. When you use an array, that is an indexed offset from a pointer. Someone said pointers break the typing. That is not true, if you do not break pointer typing to begin with. That is a pointer can be typed, and moreover someone who uses an integer for a pointer is voiding type control in his program. No knowing pointers means not having any clue to how the underlying structure works and leads to weak programming. I strongly encourage every beginning programmer to learn pointers, pointer usage and pointer math to understand some of the mechanisms that make programs break. A programmer who doesn't understand the strengths and weaknesses of pointers is like a plumber who doesn't know how pipes work and what makes a manifold. He can hack around, but he cannot diagnose when plumbing makes noises, doesn't flow correctly or even backflows. That is my opinion. Maybe I am out to lunch, but has anyone seen any language that didn't access memory?

First, is your inbox IMAP or POP3, or do you have a SPAM filter set, or other automatic filters, or possibly your index is corrupt. Your inbox is composed of two file, Inbox and Inbox.msf.

The RE series is WD's 'RAID Enterprise' or 'RAID Enabled' (depending on how you look at it) drives, and cost more. They should work fine in RAID. The lower cost WD drives have been giving problems in RAID, and not just on Linux. WD even says they are not designed for RAID. Please see the responses at: http://community.wdc.com/t5/Other-Internal-Drives/1-TB-WD10EARS-desynch-issues-in-RAID/m-p/11559 Also see: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1397 That last link is to WD's FAQ; it explains the root cause of the issue, that of deep cycle recovery (saying point blank that the drive could take *2* *minutes* to recover *one* *sector* in error). So basically any time the drive hits an error, things slow to a crawl as the iowaits pile up. This is the info iostat -x 1 will give you; watch the await time (given in milliseconds); I saw awaits of up to 20,000 ms while trying to use my WD15EADS drive in RAID1. -- 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

I renamed that file and restarted, and it is still in 1280. Very frustrating. Thanks for any ideas.

Re: Fedora14: Strange and intermittent very slow disks on server
Hi, > However, I think I will change the drives. I was hoping to try some WD10EADS > ones I have, but after your issues I will look at the RE series or > another make ... Further to what Lamar has already said. I have a pair of these drives running under F14 (originally F13) and I would never buy them again. I originally suffered from the 4k partition boundary issue which once rectified made an enormous difference. I was running several virtual machines and once I started up more than one VM, it took a life time for the VM to boot. I was also seeing the same issue with yum, updates taking a ridiculous amount of time. You might also when to check the head load cycle count with smartctl smartctl -a /dev/sdX | grep Load_Cycle_Count They have stupidly aggressive power saving which as I understand it cause many unnecessary head parks, depending on the workload of your system. For example one of my drives hit over 240,000 cycles in 6 months before I became aware of it. By comparison another 4 year old drive is currently only showing 70,000 cycles. There's a tool from WD which lets you alter how aggressively it parks the heads. Unfortunately it's a vendor specific setting the firmware so you can't use a standard linux util to change it. -- Ian Chapman. -- 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

I did play with setting a partition on a 4096 byte (8 x 512Byte sector) boundary, but saw no change in random 512Byte block write speed with a simple test program. These are recent drives so I wondered if things had changed in this regard. It is strange, however, how the system can run perfectly fine with good fast disk IO for a while and then go into this slow mode. In the slow mode a command can take 30seconds or more to run on an unloaded system. It smacks of some Linux kernel SATA driver/RAID1 versus WD EARS drive interaction to me. However, I think I will change the drives. I was hoping to try some WD10EADS ones I have, but after your issues I will look at the RE series or another make ...
