As I said, I was guessing, largely because most people who haven't run across the fedoraforum aren't aware of the kmod/akmod method. -- 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

This means a given address gets one chance every 3 minutes to login.
Even "fubar" is a (relatively) secure password when there is riper
fruit for picking when the creep has to wait 3 minutes between trials.
It can be a pain if I mistype my password. It's a tradeoff in that
regard.

Importing a key creates a package with a name like "gpg-pubkey-a82ba4b7-4e2df47d" which you can remove in the usual way. You can identify which key is which by running "rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-a82ba4b7-4e2df47d | grep ^Summary", for example.

statically-built qemu-[arch] on Fedora
Is it possible to get/compile/build static qemu-[arch] similar to the qemu-user-static in Debian? I am making use of binfmt_misc and need to execute statically built qemu-[arch]. Using the "standard" qemu-[arch] won't work because I am executing this in a chrooted environment where all the libraries qemu needs to link to are outside of the chroot. I tried to use the qemu source rpm in order to build it (using the --static ./configure option), but unfortunately I can't do it - the .spec file is created in such a way that it cannot be easily adapted for building statically linked qemu executables. Any help with this would be much appreciated, thanks! -- 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

The RPM is listed on the first line of the original post (firefox-8.03). And, no, this is not virgin. However, I should have specified that Firefox is causing cpu spikes, sometimes to 100%.

Gnome shell with Intel 82865G rev 02
Hello I have been Googling all day and seem to get conflicting reports that this Intel graphics will work with gnome shell or not. I have read a lot about nomodeset either it needs to be there or doesn't. And even some posts about creating a xorg.conf with Intel set as the driver. So what I want to know is will gnome shell work with this graphics chip or am I barking up the wrong tree here.

Preupgrade b0rk Compiz on my laptop.
Yesterday, I used preupgrade on my laptop to go from F14 to F16. When it was done, I logged back in under XFCE and found that I didn't have a window manager running. I've gotten xfwm4 working on it, now, but I'd like to get Compiz-fusion back. I've tried creating and using a different user, with the same results: fusion-icon won't run. I've found this in ~/.xsession-errors more than once from my main login, but not the secondary: fusion-icon: error: option -s: invalid integer value: 'ession' Also, If I run fusion-icon -v & in a terminal, I get this: [joe@barrayar Documents]$ * Detected Session: xfce * Searching for installed applications... -- /usr/bin/compiz -- /usr/bin/metacity -- /usr/bin/xfwm4 -- /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator -- /usr/bin/ccsm * Opening CompizConfig context Backend : ini Integration : true Profile : default Initializing decor options...done * No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context ... present with indirect rendering, exporting: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 * Using the GTK Interface * Interface not installed ... Trying another interface * Using the Qt4 Interface ...and when I press Enter, I'm notified of a Segmentation Fault in fusion-icon. I've not done anything, yet, on my desktop, as I'd like to know what to do if/when it happens again. I've asked about this on both the Fedora and XFCE forums, but haven't had a response as yet.

As long as you have rpmfusion properly installed Totem should figure out which packages need to be installed and offer to install them. At least that's how it usually works for me.

And they aren't --- the kernel does not make any difference between an ordinary mount and a bind mount. See for example http://karelzak.blogspot.com/2011/04/bind-mounts-mtab-and-read-only.html for a nice explanation. Consequently, all userspace apps which relied on this "difference" were broken to begin with, and need to be fixed. The only issue is that before F15 this was not obvious. F15 featured a new version of gnulib which basically made /etc/mtab obsolete (as far as I understood). Since F15 /etc/mtab is just a symlink to /proc/self/mounts, and I guess it will probably be removed altogether in the future. Also, this is not just for Fedora, but rather *all* Linux distributions which feature the recent gnulib. And it seems that everybody decided to go for the "mtab is a symlink" behavior for the time being. So if your favorite userspace app misbehaves because of this, file a bug against it and persuade the relevant devs to fix it.

rc.sysinit mystery
In the last section of the F16 System Administrator's Guide it says that sysctl is run by executing the rc.sysinit script against the parameters in sysctl.conf. Now there is no /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script in F16 so that leaves me with two questions: 1: Who should I send the suggestion to that the section should be changed? 2.

I wonder why /dev/sdb8 is mounted to 3 different places? These are autofs-automounted local homes. autofs mounts these home directories "on-demand", switching between nfs-mounts and bind-mounts, depending on whether they are local or remote. In this case, they currently are all local. FWIW: f14's mount displayed them this way: # mount .. /home/user1 on /users/user1 type none (rw,bind) ... This reflects the actual situation and is human readable. f16's "mount" displays them this way: # mount ... /dev/sdb8 on /users/user1 type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered) ... IMO, this unreadable and all wrong.

Does anyone agree with me that the mount command (when used simply to get information) has become absurdly verbose? I only use this command to determine what hard disks are mounted. Now I have to wade through large tracts of information that make no sense to me, to find the few lines about hard disks.

Snap! A system snapshotter for Fedora / Ubuntu / Windows / and more
Hey all, I'm looking for help testing a project I've been working on over the last few months. Snap [1] is a cross-platform system snapshot and restoration utility which uses the underlying package management system to take snapshots of packages installed as well as files modified outside of the package management system. Only files modified post-installation and new-files (eg those not tracked by the package system) are backed up so that snapshots are lightweight and are able to be migrated across hosts. Currently supported are RPM based distros (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS <./CentOS.html>), Deb based distros (Debian, Ubutunu), and Windows Also supported are service snapshots. For example postgres and mysql db's will be backed up, as are Apache and IIS websites using the native tooling. All of this is built ontop of a very modular / plugable system which allows developers to extend Snap to take and restore snapshots of any custom target. My intention of this project was to make cross-virtualization-hypervisor and cross-cloud-provider [2] snapshots a cinch, but it can also be used for general system backup and recovery. I've tried to harden it up as much as I could up to this point, writing an extensive test suite, and conducting full integration testing on various platforms but am looking for more widespread testing, especially in alternative environments. Also I would like to start forming a community around this project, to write backends to support snapshots on a variety of platforms and of a variety of services. The project is as open source as it gets, written in Python and licensed under the GPLv3. I've submitted Snap to Fedora [3] and Debian / Ubuntu [4], any package reviews would be more than appreciated. Thanks for reading so far! -Mo Morsi [1] https://github.com/movitto/snap [2] http://mo.morsi.org/blog/node/347 [3] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755890 [4] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649585 -- 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

Also I notice that the name of your file is "rastertosamsungsplc" whereas it should be "rastertosamsungspl" i.e. you have an additional letter "c" at the end of the filename - if your file is really ending in a "c" then check whether you have the correct 32 or 64 bit file - if not then make sure that where you defined the file in the printer setup is correct - if not then redefine it with the correct filename. -- mike c -- 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

Sorry, I failed to quote the OP's original question --- he wants to use his laptop as a car PC, and needs to have everything on the screen large since he is looking at the monitor from a distance. I agree that in general LCD's are best used in their native resolution. But it the car environment the results could be good enough. The OP should probably evaluate that on the spot. I do not know of any other (reasonably easy) way to scale *everything* on the screen. Tweaking font&icon sizes in KDE works for KDE apps, but in general doesn't work for non-KDE stuff. It would probably take a fair amount of time to reconfigure all possible apps to be proportionally larger. Even then, one cannot be sure about the toolbar buttons, sliders and similar stuff. IMHO, it's not worth the effort for the OP's usecase, but it's his call in the end.

AFAIK, the temperature widget uses the global KDE settings for that. Go to systemsettings -> Locale -> Country/Region&Langunage -> Other and change the measurement system from imperial to metric. That should do it.
