It looks like you have to log in to yousendit to get access to your 
file.  That would indicate that it is not scriptable with anything like 
wget.  You would have to get the login page and then provide the 
required credentials.  There is almost always a Captcha that you have to 
read and decode put there just to prevent the kind of thing you want to do.

Re: keyboard failure that doesn't seem to be hardware

It behaved all day yesterday and I was into my 7th hour today when, 
finally, it happened again. Top shows no cpu hogging (near idle as far 
as I can see) and /var/log/messages doesn't report anything.


I ran your test and sat on the Shift Key for over a minute. No notices.

Figuring that was that, I ssh-ed into the machine to salvage what I was 
doing before killing the session. That took about 20 minutes and, 
somewhere around the 15th minute when I was mousing in one of the dead 
shells to scroll my history to make sure I had got everything, I 
accidentally brushed a key and, lo and behold, the keyboard was alive. 
Everything that had been typed while testing its dead-ness was not 
there, so all the input was not buffered waiting to be processed (as 
though the characters never made it to the computer).


So now I have to consider that "something" (be it hardware or software) 
is causing the keyboard to not exist to the computer for an unknown 
period of time. On one of the earlier tests, I waited about 10 minutes 
before killing and hadn't gotten the keyboard back by then.


I will try Ed's idea of a different keyboard, but I do want to ask if 
this new "experiment result" indicates additional things to consider in 
trying to fix it.


Thanks,
Paul

I fear the primary census developer is traveling right now. ;( 

Hopefully he will reply soon and get some folks working on things. 

There is some preliminary code in the census git repo to look through.

Have you tried comparing the two config files?  I don't know which one's 
the important one, and I don't use Gnome so I can't check it for you but 
I'm sure somebody here will know.  Also, does this happen when you're 
not docked?  The way you write suggests that it doesn't, but it's always 
best to be sure.

Re: lm_sensors-3.3.2-5.fc17.src.rpm :: error rebuilding on centos

Check to see if selinux is blocking the remove. Also check the
permissions on /usr/lib64/libsensors.a (both regular permissions
and "lsattr").

It's most likely that the library is owned by root and doesn't have
"other write" permissions. If you're building as an ordinary user, the
rpmbuild script won't be able to remove the old library unless it does
a "sudo" or "su" before the "install" step.

The old library may also have the immutable flag set
("lsattr /usr/lib64/libsensors.a" would show the "i" flag), in which
case you'd have to "chattr -i /usr/lib64/libsensors.a" (as the root
user or a user with the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability) to remove it.

X hangs when screen blanks on docked laptop

2012-10-12 Thread Matthew Saltzman
I have a Dell Latitude E6410 with nVidia graphics, using the nouveau
driver in F17 and gnome-shell.

When the machine is docked and using the remote display, all is well
until the screen blanker times out.  After that, I'm unable to wake the
screen up.  Opening the lid doesn't help (not too surprising, given that
the main screen is set to be off when the remote is attached); switching
to a VC doesn't help (which is surprising).  The keyboard still works,
so I can blindly switch to a VC and reboot, but it's not workable to
have to reboot after every 10 minutes of idle time.

I created a second userid and tried working with that, and the problem
does not recur there, so it apparently has something to do with the
configuration of my main userid.  I had at one point installed the
weather extension and the system monitor extension, but they were
problematic so I deleted them (before I tried the experiment with the
other userid).  That fixed a problem where the screen wouldn't wake up
even when undocked, but hasn't fixed this.

So any idea what I should look for in my userid's configuration files to
fix this?

TIA.

Re: yum upgrade problem

2012-10-12 Thread pringle...@gmail.com
i will report this in bugzilla because yum did do a half install of the
kernel (dosent boot properly, deps problems)  and without my consent. to me
is easy to detect and fix ( or a least try) but it can be a serious issue
if yum goes skynet on a root cli
i hope someone with autority see this and say something

Re: Fedora 16 User Manager: can't edit Group Properties

Hi: My f16 installation has been successively upgraded from about f12.
My tv cards are recognised by the kernel, but ioctl problems have
interfered with the setting up of new cards while not affecting the use

similar problems in Ubuntu could be cured by re-adding a user somehow
lost from the video group.

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/System_Administrators_Guide/s2-redhat-config-users-group-properties.html


My attempts to add a user with the User Manager fail.  I'm told the
video group already exists, try a new name.  I deleted and re-created
the (empty) video group and still could not add any users to it.  Now
the two User Manager windows cannot be closed; attempts to minimise them
just redraw them.   Any suggestions gratefully received.



Direct editing of /etc/group seems to have been effective but the GUI 
still is not.  Recognition of the tv cards, which started failing with 
kernel>3.3.7-1, is still unreliable.

Sorry, I'm jumping in to this a bit late, but have you tried accessing 
the recovery partition as the laptop boots up? It should be F10, but it 
could be one of the other function keys or something like Ctrl + r.  
Some laptops tell you on screen but strangely many don't.


My apologies if you've already tried that. Hope you get it fixed.
