Another alternative that might be an option with youtube.
Go to http://youtube.com/html5
then joing the html5 trial that will use WebM for displaying videos.

Doesn't solve the flash issue for everything, but it seems to get 
most videos to work without having to jump thru hoops..

After much screwing around with it, things are working now.  Based on
my experience, here are the steps that worked.

- Download the 64-bit Flash player from Adobe.  I got the RC1
  version.  Then do these as root:

cd /
tar xzvf /flashplayer11_rc1_install_lin_64_090611.tar.gz
chown root:root libflashplayer.so
chmod 755 libflashplayer.so # didn't know it had to be executable earlier.
mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

- It was still failing because it was using gnash-plugin even though
  I'd selected "Use Shockwave Flash" in Edit->Preferences->Applications
  for "Shockwave Flash file", so I

yum remove gnash-plugin

Now I get audio and video for YouTube stuff as well as non-YT stuff,
and as a bonus, I get my Live365 audio again.

I am a happy camper.  Oh, and the 32-bit stuff is still installed, so
it will coexist with the 64-bit player.

Thanks for your patience and guidance.

Cheers,

I do not know of such mechanism, but you could use symbolic links
available at /dev/disk/by-id or /dev/disk/by-uuid.

The order of my disks also changes from time to same (I suppose what
gets initialized first - wins). But with those links it does not really

Actually I wonder how many people who have posted so much about G-2
being retained, and how difficult G-3 is, have actually used KDE
current in f15? I have been using it for a while now and it really is
nice - and a completely different DE to the first shaky new KDE 4.0
that emerged only a couple of versions ago it is very usable and
worthy of daily use now as KDE4.6 or 4.7...

You are right G-2 is yesterday's desktop - today we have G-3 for those
that like it, and it may be a hard pill for some to swallow, even if
it does head down the tablet route (sorry - could not resist!) but if
it is impossible to swallow then I would really recommend people do
try KDE or one of the other DEs that have been mentioned. There are
good alternatives to G-3.

Here it's shown in the 'Notification Area'. If you don't have that,
right click on the panel and choose Panel->Panel Preferences and then
the Items tab. Once there, use the '+' button. If you do have the
'Notification Area' on your panel, then I have no idea.

At the moment, not really.

However, I believe that is a good point (and pardon my ignorance in

  It makes far more sense to do what many have already done and switch
to a stable and configurable DE that better suits your needs. Seriously,
Gnome 2 is dead - move on.

  Choose one of the alternatives - [Gnome 3 or] KDE or LXDE or XFCE or ...

  Everyone is required to change - if you don't like G-3 there are
several great DE's ... fedora makes it super easy to try them - then
pick the one that suits your needs.

  In fact, I would suggest that G-3 be changed to a tablet spin and lets
make KDE the default DE for [lap/desk]/tops.

Re: F15: Worst. Update. Ever.

[Pedro Francisco]

Try ALT+F2 and type 'r' before and/or after. Though in my case that is only
good for 3G dongles, maybe it magically works with you :) (Shell will
disappear, don't worry, should be back)

You may also check if on Gnome's fallback mode the network-applet works
well, since it's the Gnome 2.x applet instead of the new fancy n' buggy one.

you can't unmount a mount that is in use. For example, if you have a
terminal open and then cd /home/users/Net01 then you can't unmount it.
Make sure that you cd / or somewhere not within the mount and that any
nautilus or dolphin file browser windows are not using anything within
the mount itself and if that's the case, you should be able to unmount
it.

It wasn't 80x50 which let me look at more lines of code at once. :)

Then don't click through to it: start typing it's name and let it pop up
as the list narrows down the app selection. I use that to quickly jump
to what I want.

And if I use it enough then I add it to the favorites.

You can. Just turn on the "Having file manager handle the desktop".

I think that everybody who wants to have Gnome2 need to get together and
do things the Open Source Way:

1. fork the Gnome2 codebase (maybe give it a new project name)
2. keep it updated with fixes, new features, etc.
3. make it available to others who want to keep using that paradigm

Then everybody can be happy and have what they want. :)

with fstab as: storage01.usersly3d.local /home/users/Net01 nfs 

same result but, in a terminal

sudo mount /home/users/Net01 mount the remote share
sudo umount /home/users/Net01 umounts the remote share

It seems to be purely "usermount" (gui launcher) that cannot unmount

For what it's worth, most of us are probably not on the evolution list,
so either providing a weblink to a page with your question and the
answer might be a good idea.  Or, quoting the unliked response with your
message, here.  Though, it has to be said, that it's quite common that
when you repeat a question, you're going to get the same answer.

I think it's a fundamental screw-up to make someone use the keyboard
with a WIMP (Windows Icons Mouse Pointer) GUI.  Sure, you're probably
not actually /forced/ to, but if it's a major pain to mouse about, it
comes to the same issue.  And I mean that in regards to either swapping
between mousing and keyboard, or worse, having to use both
simultaneously.

I'll diverge from your comment, a bit, but since you called it
organisation, and things are being redesigned all over the place, I'll
stick in a pet peeve of mine.

The scroll bars are generally on the right of the screen, and the menus
are generally on the left.  LIkewise with commonly used buttons at the
top of the window (they're far away from the scroll bar).

As far as GUI designs go, this is horrible.  If you want to be nice to
users, it'd be more convenient to bring the two closer together, such as
menus being right justified in a big window.

  / name of window ---+++\
  |   file edit view other menus |
  |  S
  |  C
  |  R
  |  O
  |  L
  |  L

Or, being able to move the scroll bar onto the left side.



Lots of quote snippage that'd have many "me too"s written with them...

Ouch.

Have you brought it up on the mod-security-users or Core Ruleset lists? 
They'd probably have more insight on this than I would (I'm more of a 
git person myself nowadays)

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mod-security-users
https://lists.owasp.org/mailman/listinfo/owasp-modsecurity-core-rule-set 
(better for this issue I'd say)

I've only ever seen cross-package triggers once (a Samba package in 
earlier Fedoras) and it looks like a potential disaster area and best 
avoided.

Truth be told I've wimped out and run it in DetectionOnly mode with the 
more painful apps - Drupal / Wordpress and DAV-reliant apps (like SVN or 
iCal stuff) have traditionally been fairly hellish otherwise.

 I have this:

 A dyndns account, set up and pointing to the global address of the router.

 I want to be able to reach the NAS from the internet. However, trying to

It's a file - needs to be cat'ed not executed but the output of mount on its own
should be fine.

So the fstab has:

mynas://nfs/store01  /home/users/Net01 nfs
rw,users,noauto,hard,intr 0 0

But the mount output shows:

storage01.usersly3d.local://nfs/store01/ on /home/users/Net01 type nfs
(rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.0.0.2,mountvers=3,mountport=925,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=10.0.0.2)

So mynas appears to be getting resolved to "storage01.usersly3d.local".

Could you see what happens if you use the full domain name in fstab?

Regards,
Bryn.

I have a similar issue on my Dell M102z. The new kernels just won't
boot at all and I too remember seeing an SMP / opcode error. 2.6.38
and 2.6.39 based kernels work just fine though. I have reported it as
a bug and I suggest you too report it. Also, please post your lspci
and lshw; perhaps we both may have some common hardware (mine is based
on AMD Fusion E-350).

Performed the following.

# service NetworkManager stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl  stop NetworkManager.service
# service NetworkManager start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl  start NetworkManager.service

No joy.

How to I (re)convert my emails to the new Evolution format ?

[linux guy]

I updated from F14 to F15 and in the process from Evolution 2.x to 3.0.2.

There were numerous (non Evolution) issues during the update process.
Somehow the Evolution mail conversion tool got interrupted and thus only
about 10% of my emails were converted to the new format.

How do I rerun the tool and convert the rest of my emails to the new format
?

Thanks !

FWIW: This is a cross post from a post I did on the Evolution user mailing
list.   I didn't like the answer that I received there.  I'm hoping for a
better one here.

Update.

I still have 2 outstanding issues with my F15 system.

1) Wireless networking is not operational, even though wireless worked fine
in F15 Live.  Its not apparent to me what is different between my F15
install and the F15 Live iso.  I've started a thread on this issue.

2) The process that converted emails to the new format for Evolution somehow
got interrupted and only 10% of my emails have been converted to the new
format.  It is not apparent to me how to convert/ reconvert the remaining
emails.  I'll start a thread on this topic shortly.

I'm still running nouveau and I'm running 1 monitor, not 2 like I used to.
I'll get to that issue later.
