Re: Does PostgreSQL have OpenSSL compiled in?
Yes, why compile it in, when you can link with the existing openssl. That way the ssl stuff gets updated in one place in case a bug is found. This is how it is done in Fedora. So, in other words you should be able to use SSL in postgresql if you have openssl installed. /Uno 2011/4/11 Joel Rees joel.r...@gmail.com On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 11:54 AM, Philip Rhoades p...@pricom.com.au wrote: People, Does the standard PostgreSQL RPM (postgresql-8.4.7-1.fc14.x86_64) have have OpenSSL compiled in?

The real issue is that either Nvidia or HP made the decision to drive the HDMI port on my HDX with a single link output instead of a dual link output.

USB Thumb Drive Installation
I am considering returning to Red Hat, actually Fedora, after quite a few years of using SuSE/OpenSUSE. However, before taking down my main platform, which my wife uses for surfing, I'd like to test Fedora 14 on my laptop. This raises another consideration in that I use the laptop for consulting and don't want to endanger the Win 7 OS. What I have done is install (transfer(?)) Fedora 14 to a 8GB SanDisk USB Thumb Drive. At this point I can boot the laptop from the Thumb Drive and start the Fedora installer. I want to install Fedora on the Thumb Drive without modifying the laptop MS Win 7 boot process. Now, finally my questions. The installer gives me the option of installing Fedora on the following partitions: /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 Am I correct in assuming the Thumb Drive is /dev/sdc1? Will the Win 7 boot loader be modified by the Fedora installation? I have attempted searching the list archive without success. Any assistance will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Stephen P.

You could use a live image with a persistant home and an overlay update area. You can make this using livecd-iso-to-disk (from the livecd-tools package). You can encrypt /home as an option. Updates will probably eventually fill up the overlay area, and you will need to make another image to replace the old one to get the space back. When you do that you can leave /home alone. If you do this don't use the live image from the release, as there will be a huge pile of updates waiting, run livecd-creator to make an image based on the current set of updates available. You can also pull in packages you want that aren't on the image you want. That will keep them compressed and save space versus adding them into the persistant overlay space. -- 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: What filesystem for ssd? (f15)
Hi, Am 11.04.2011 16:26, schrieb Neal Becker: What filesystem should I use? Go for btrfs? I would recommend ext4 as btrfs still isn't marked as stable. Although there are no bigger bugs to be expected anymore I would trust it in an production environment. Furthermore it will be possible to convert ext4 into btrfs without bigger problems. I'm also using ext4 on top of an encrypted lvm setup. Unfortunately dm-crypt doesn't have the discard feature implemented yet, so the trim feature of my SSD doesn't get utilized :(. However encryption is the only way to make sure to give no sensible information away when selling the drive later on, because you have no clue what the controller is actually doing ;). As some flash cells will get replaced automatically during the lifetime of your drive you can't make sure that they are also properly deleted. Some models offer the possibility to reset the whole drive using ATA commands, but once again you have to trust the manufacturer to have done everything right. Another important thing is to mount your partitions with the noatime parameter when you don't depend on it. In order to update these few bits the SSD will erase whole groups of cells for each file (when there is no buffer involved) so you can shorten the expected lifetime easily by a huge factor ;).

Update Re: Paperless office... document management ? (High speed scanner)
I'm going to share my experience in case someone else is contemplating going paperless like we were. The Dell 3335dn (printer, scanner, copier, fax machine/server )arrived last week. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uscs=04l=ensku=224-8405 Disclaimer. I have no affiliation with Dell. I did a quick, dirty and incomplete setup on it and started scanning to a USB mass storage device, ie flash thumb drive. (The 3335 also supports scanning to an ftp server !) The 3335dn is an incredible scanner. The touchscreen UI is very intuitive and flexible. The (duplex!) document feeder works very well. The scans are high quality and fast, though double sided scans are a bit slower due to the speed of how the duplexer turns the page over. In 2 hours I scanned about 100 documents. About 10 pounds of paper considering the envelopes, advertising, inserts, etc. The documents consisted of bulky insurance documents, contracts. bank statements, brochures, invoices, receipts, monthly statements and correspondence. Sizes ranged from the usual legal and letter stuff to various odd sizes. BW and color. Single sided and double sided. Landscape and portrait. The 3335dn handles it all. I've since scanned about 300 documents. Everything has come out great. Here is a great example. I have this paper catalog that I frequently use. The vendor doesn't or won't provide a digital copy. Mine frequently gets lost and other people want to use it. Its about 100 pages, 8.5 x 11, color, double sided. I pulled the staples out of my copy and cut it in half down the binding center. I trimmed up the edges a bit and slipped half of them into the document feeder and pressed Scan It When the first half was done, I scanned the second half. I got 2 really good color pdf files, 50 pages each ! The 3335 isn't perfect. For one thing the document feeder has a single roller wheel in the center. It works fairly well except that if the edges of the pages aren't great (like if you cut apart a catalog), the pages tend to go through a bit crooked. Its no big deal, but it would be great if the feed drive had several rollers instead of just a central one. Having said all this, the 3335 document feeder jammed only once and I was feeding some pretty horrendous paper through it. It also isn't the fastest printer when warm up times are taken into account. But once through the warm up sequence, its great. A really neat thing about the 3335 is that it will print the first copy of a job and then wait for input on whether to Finish the job. At first I found it annoying, but now I find it very useful in that I don't waste paper with an incorrect copy or print job. Back to the issue at hand... thanks to the 3335dn, we have now converted a ton of paper into pdf and jpg files. Its incredible how much that cleaned up my office. While we haven't done much organizing other than sorting them into folders (something that can be done right at the 3335 when scanning them if desired), our office is much tidier and the documents are much, much more accessable. The utility of this simple step alone is huge. Prior to scanning our documents we were contemplating the purchase of an industrial sized filing cabinet and we dreaded searching for specific pieces of paper. Our office is much, much more efficient now and I only see it getting better as we do more with the documents. So far going paperless has been a huge success and we don't regret it for a second. The best thing is the elimination of piles of paper as a means to organize things. One of the things I find myself doing is keeping a Todo list in Writer and with every item I now have a link to the documents that concern it. Very, very handy. That fact alone reduces the barriers to getting things done. Its also very handy to be able to send an email to someone and attach the actual document that is being discussed. Of course this story isn't complete. I'll update our progress as we go along, including how we integrate the documents into other software applications we use.

I'm also using ext4 on top of an encrypted lvm setup. Unfortunately dm-crypt doesn't have the discard feature implemented yet, so the trim feature of my SSD doesn't get utilized :(. It might never get implemented, since encryption is supposed to hide everything, including information about empty sectors -- otherwise, attacks can be devised to recover some data. -- 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
evolution: how to trace the prob?
Hi, folks! I'm having difficulties accessing my mail using evolution. I'm on VPN and have to use specific proxy to access the web. However mail server requires no proxy. Using the same settings thunderbird works and evolution hangs up on checking for new mail. When I press Send/Receive button a new window appears. It tries to connect to pop-server and status is always 'waiting'. It's still responsible but does nothing: no network activity. What steps should I do to locate the problem? TIA -- Hiisi.

You are looking for an i386 update because yum is looking for an update for some RPM that is already installed on your system as an i386 RPM.

Most of them allude to either a non-working network connection, or a missing target of an attempted download. So, from that I would gather that either your network isn't working, or the target file that yum was attempting to download (.../repodata/repomd.xml) could not be found on the server it attempted to download it from If it is a transient error (at adobe.com), it should clear up after a while.
