Can not open Desktop effects on FC14

[Yunchi Wang]

Hello everyone. After I installed the updates last night, I can not open
Desktop Effects. Exactly when I choose System->Preferences->Desktop Effects,
there is no window came out. Prior to this, everything is OK. I have
installed graphics driver. My notebook is Acer 4741G. Thanks!

It was supposed to be DeviceKit and its children but IIUC it's now udev.

this does not sound correct in that you may be looking in wrong place.

what brand is system?

what make and model is mainboard?

what is bios name and bios number?


when system starts a bootup, you see screen of bios name and number.
press  or  to stop scroll to read.

all you need with rescue dvd is at menu, mount partitions, command line;

 chroot /mnt/image

 grub-install /dev/sda

 reboot

*note*  if you do not have your default '/boot' and '/etc' partitions
physically first, you will have to manually mount partitions.

The AIM and AIM IMAP+Webmail (whate...@aim.com) -now renamed Aol Mail-
has been running as zombies. I´m not sure there is any human being
left in the building who knows how the underlying tech works.

For example, getting new AIM or AOL accounts has been NOT WORKING
since at least last December.

I emailed a few key execs at AOL (whom I researched looking for AOL in
LinkedIn.com), who didn´t even bother to reply or acknowledge there is
a problem.

What replaces this bit of HAL?

[Tom Horsley]

I keep reading that HAL is going away to be replaced by
a scattering of separate bits, but I can't figure out
what is supposed to replace HAL to achieve the equivalent
in a program I'm working on:

This program recognizes PTP capable cameras that are plugged
and unplugged from time to time. I get DBUS system messages
(containing the HAL udi string) on the plug/unplug event,
and I can lookup things like the USB bus and device numbers
which are needed by libgphoto2 by calling HAL functions to
query properties.

So if HAL is going away, what the heck is the official
recommended way to achieve these same results without HAL?

That sounds like a better idea.  (Probably slower though.)

To avoid any possible confusion, that's your root partition.  /sbin must 
be on that partition because it has to be available before the rest of 
the filesystem is mounted.

 After my previous post, I went through man samba_selinux just after
 dinner, and also samba.conf file, and I understood that I should have
 done some homework on selinux labeling and so on :-) : What surprises me
 that on a different box in my home selinux is enforced too, but samba is
 working fine sharing folders, even if I didn't do my homework (i.e. no

 The real difference between these two machines is a fresh installation

 was installed Selinux had been disabled).

 What do you suggest?? not a problem at home as I am working with Fedora
 only, a problem if I want share folders in a Windows environment (this
 is a laptop)

 When I try to connect to the to-be-shared folder I get (not completely

I think the easiest is

setsebool -P samba_enabe_home_dirs 1

You also have booleans
samba_export_all_rw
samba_export_all_ro

To share everything.

You could also label the content as samba_share_t.

I haven't been able to find anything in bios to change the order of
the hard drives. It's simply cdrom, floppy, hard drives. Maybe I'm
missing something but I've gone through it a couple of times?

And I can't ssh into it to copy files, have to copy manually to this
second computer.

I'm using the Linux rescue on the install DVD to make changes,
probably have grub messed up. I have the original saved tho.

I can't tell from your posting. When you issued the grub-install cammand
did you previously mount the partition that contained the boot directory
and ran the grub-install from there. Really you need to have the F14
partition with /sbin mounted also if that is a different partition that
the one holding the boot directory and run it from that partition.

did you reconfigure your drive settings in they bios?

interrupt boot, press  key during boot to enter bios settings.

You have the right idea, I want to decrypt on the client, rather than mount on 
the server, thus the data on the server is just a file full of encrypted data, 
and not available as clear text there. I was thinking of nbd, certainly a 
possibility.

grub-install problem -

[Bob Goodwin]

I've moved some drives around, trying to get F-14 and Win XP to dual 
boot. Started with a working F14. Added a third drive that had XP 
already installed, had to put it in the first slot or Windows refused to 
boot. Now only Windows boots.

 From Linux rescue:

sh-4.1# grub-install /dev/sda
/dev/sdc2 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

I don't have the slightest idea what that is trying to tell  me?

Help!

Bob

Depending on your drive, you may be able to improve that a bit by setting the 
max_sectors for the device higher. /sys/blockdev/sdX/device/max_sectors (from 
memory).

We are looking at the problem of remote mounting some proprietary data, and I 
am 
playing with the idea that if the mount is done on the remote client I gain (a) 
unencrypted data never flows over the network and (b) the server need not be a 
trusted server in terms of having the data mounted on the server itself. At the 
moment it's an exercise, but one with benefits if practical.

As for "against who?" the answer is "everyone," the fewer people, systems, and 
networks with clear data the fewer the possible types of leak. Layered 
security, 
making every part as secure as is cost effective.

Just so, having the mount on the client means only the client has the clear 
data, not having the mount on the server makes the target smaller.

I was wondering about that, or exporting via nbd.

At the moment a technology evaluation, some testing will probably be done over 
the next few months. I'm hoping someone has a really smart idea or better yet 
some objections to doing it at all. Your comment on the error rate is certainly 
the kind of thing I like to see, errors can be introduced during testing to see 
if failure rather than slowdown results.

Hello,
did you solved the Problem ?

since 4 day a have a new Dell Precsion M4500 and the fn-f8 key only 
gives a 'p'
I am using FC14 with Kernel : 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.PAE

on my old Precsion M70 all works fine - what can be the problem ?

Thanks for any information

Reinhard

I guess this goes to show that we CAN trust MS and their "partners"...
to try to put the screws to their customers! :) by using a special
boot block that prevents booting other devices. :(

 Done that, cdrom is first boot device, and hard drive is second boot 
 device.

 I think this is a Vista install and Sony has the laptop bootup setup to
 bootup  on a path to Windows on hard drive. and ignores the cdrom.

I checked the boot priority before booting each time.
What is weird I tried to enable boot on devices;

1. cdrom
2. external USB
3. network

To block out Hard Drive from booting , and it still wouldn't boot off 
Cdrom.   Since I have installed Fedora on hard drive from my PC, I  now 
can boot from cdrom drive. The Vista setup on the hard drive was causing 
the boot problems from anything but the hard drive.

You may have tried this, but I didn't catch it in your postings.
Some/many computers have a "boot menu" in the bios/setup utility that
is a separate screen (accessed by a different hotkey during boot) than
the "setup menu". My (admittedly limited) experience with these PCs is
that if you want to boot off an external drive, you need to enter that
boot menu AT EVERY BOOT and select the external device. Those systems
where I've used an external device generally refuse to boot from it if
I simply change around the boot priority in the normal setup menus.

[389-users] Is there a way to upgrade to 1.2.7 without the subtree-rename feature switched on

[Reinhard Nappert]

Hi,

I want to upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.2.7.5, but I am not interested in using the 
subtree-rename feature. Question: can I call sbin/setup-ds.pl -u with a 
parameter indicating that I do not want to have this feature.

Thanks,

fedora CIDOC-DRM and FOAF

[Showers, Shannon]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had success in using Fedora and CIDOC-CRM or 
FOAF. I have RDF files using both these ontologies, but I am having trouble 
ingesting them in Fedora so that the relationships show up as triples. I have 
been successful in forming RDF triples using Fedora's RDF ontology, but not 
using CIDOC or FOAF. I'm not sure in which datastreams the RDF should occur and 
in what format. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I think this message is ok.  It just means the data was reinitialized.  
Was there a problem?  Did replication stop working, or something like that?

Problem Fixed. Sony Laptop PCG-7142L

What I did was remove SATA hard drive from laptop and put on my Fedora 
14 PC and used gparted and removed crashed Vista partitions and put 
Fedora 14 on it.

Put back into Laptop and now it will let me Boot off of Cdrom.  I was 
also told that Sony does not support USB booting.

The way Vista was installed on hard drive wouldn't let cdrom boot, only 
boot from hard drive.

Also found 7 dead keys on keyboard, will have to buy new keyboard, for 
around $60-70. someone must have beat hard on keys. Sure is a Cheap 
keyboard.

Connected external USB keyboard and now the computer works great.

In any case if your package is not using a package directly, then it
should not be a dependency. I don't quite follow why there needs to be
a recursive dependency checking if its not being used explicitly.

Not really, because this will only show packages that directly depend
on the first package, not those that depend on these dependent
packages etc.

RE: Shared encrypted filesystem

Subject: Shared encrypted filesystem

Any thoughts on remote mounting a filesystem securely? Clearly I could just 
export it and count on the encryption in the WiFi and the VPN to protect the 
data, but that leaves it mounted in clear on the server. I looked at putting 
the data in a file mounted with cryptoloop on the client, which works, or 
creating a loop device and then having that be a LUKS device. I haven't tried 
that last one, but my notes say I did create a local loop/LUKS device for a 
demo, so I suppose it could happen.

Is there some simple and common additional method I've missed?

The file is "shared" at various locations, but it would work if only one client 
at a time could access it, writes are rare, even needing access is unusual, but 
it does happen.

-Original Message-

Trusting wifi? No way!
Trusting openvpn / ipsec? No problem, if done properly...
Remote mounting over wifi? You better watch your errorcount continuously.
Copying a file across is one thing, a remote filesystem over an unreliable 
medium is something else.

But in general, what are you protecting against who? 
Storage encryption and network encryption are two completely different fields.
A LUKS-device is only protected as long as it is Unmounted, after mounting it 
is just another mount-point.

Instead of a file, you might consider exporting an (encrypted) logical volume 
with iscsi, through vpn.

Re: Video editor

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Hi guys,

I confirm that, if really need an easy to use full capable editor - we
use for editing Pitivi and Openshot. Pitivi is useful for fast
cutting, chopping to pieces - Openshot along with Inscape and Blender
is completes the animations, and inserts.

I kinda fail to see how it relates to building packages, but this'll 
give you the "what would break if I removed foo" answer without actually 
ever doing anything:
$ rpm -e --test 

Eg.

[pmatilai@localhost ~]$ rpm -e --test python-magic
error: Failed dependencies:
python-magic is needed by (installed) rpmlint-1.0-2.fc14.noarch
