Yours is not *the* user's perspective. Yours is *a* user's perspective.

I have F26 installed on the metal and don't see any performance issues.
 I have it running on a dual core 4GB laptop.

I have not noticed any kind of new menu system.  I, too, use Linux for
application development.  I continue to find all of the tools at the
same location in the menus.  The ones I really use a lot, I put in the
Favorites that show up when you bump the upper left corner.

If you are using GNOME, it has historically had a slightly Windows-ish
kind of feel.

The only change in look and feel that I have noticed is the new
background image.  Each version of Fedora as a new default background
image.  The default F26 background image is not to my liking, so I just
go pick another one.


> 4) Text Editor: Go back to the old one it works way better!

If you are using Linux for application development, I am surprised that
you are using any kind of default text editor.  Most developers will
use VI, some variation of EMACS, or one of the IDE's with its own built
in editor.  Personally, I use XEmacs.

You can install system-config-users and system-config-services.

If the Solaris systems are using Sun's NIS, you should be able to link
your Linux system in to use the same system and not have to manually
configure all of the user and group ID's.

I know that at one time there was the beginning of a GUI for
interacting with the systemd stuff.  It needed some work, but never
seemed to get any better. Now it seems to be gone completely.

Actually, the CLI for configuration allows for scripting it.  Since
your configuration is so complex, you might look into using scripts to
help you with your configuration.

Remember that from the beginning, it was stated that Fedora was the
development ground for things that would eventually be part of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.  If you want a stable version of Linux then either
buy RHEL or use CentOS.  Fedora is known to be unstable and rapidly
changing.

If you are so keen on Solaris, you might look into getting Open Solaris
for your machine.

About the only problem I have run into with F26 is that the screensaver

Screensaver Anomaly in F25

2017-06-29 Thread Craig Lanning
I did an upgrade from F24 to F25.

Everything seems to be working fine.

I use xscreensaver instead of gnome-screensaver with a Gnome desktop.

I have noticed that the timer for the screensaver is not being reset
when I type or use the mouse.  I can be using the machine and the
screensaver will activate and then deactivate (since I'm typing or
using the mouse).

Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior?

Is this something with xscreensaver or is the timer reset somewhere
else?

Problem with USB device

2017-01-28 Thread Craig Lanning
I'm running Fedora 24 fully updated.

I have a USB device that I want to connect to my computer.

When I connect it,
   lsusb does not show that it is connected,
   but lshw does show it
   and says that the rtsx_usb driver is attached to it.

The question is, Why did lsusb not show the device?

And, is there a way that I can specify that the usbhid driver should be
used instead of the rtsx_usb driver?

I looked around on the web and found a few articles that talked about
unbinding the driver and binding a different driver, but when I
followed the directions it didn't work.

That was what I needed.

Thanks.

I added -V 2 to the RPCNFSDARGS string and it worked just fine.

I didn't have to do that the last time I setup the NFS server. Probably
been a few years, though.

Oh well. . .

It works now!

Thanks for the help.

Re: NFS v2 Server

2016-12-01 Thread Craig Lanning
The client is a Symbolics XL1201 Lisp Machine.

It's operating system is called Genera.

For completeness:
Genera         8.3
NFS Client   436.0
IP-TCP       446.1

I have talked to various servers running NFS.  I have even talked to
NFS servers on machines running Fedora, just not Fedora 24.

The critical item is that the Lisp Machine only understands NFS v2 and
cannot talk to NFS v3 or v4.

Would it be helpful for me to attempt the connection while running
Wireshark to monitor the network traffic?

NFS v2 Server

2016-12-01 Thread Craig Lanning
Has there been a change to the NFS server?

I am running:
Fedora 24
nfs-utils 1.3.4

All of this has worked in earlier versions of Fedora so I'm a little
confused.

I am trying to setup the NFS server and I need it to serve NFS v2. That
is the only protocol version that the client machine understands.  It's
OS was written before v3 existed.

I followed the instructions for setting it up.

The client can get the list of exported filesystems from the server,
but fails when it tries to access one of them.

The error says something about a "Remote module version mismatch."  I
was thinking that the server was only using NFS v3.  Is there something
else that the client might access that could have a version mismatch
besides the NFS protocol?

Have I missed something in setting up the NFS Server?

Audacity Won't Start

2015-08-16 Thread Craig Lanning
Something has happened in the last couple of months that causes
audacity to not want to start.

If I type 'audacity audio-file.wav' in an attempt to get it to start
with an existing audio file. It just exits.

Is there some way that I can start it that will show me what it is
trying to do so I can see where it fails?  Any help figuring out what
is causing problems and how to fix it would be appreciated.

Blank Screen after login on Fedora 19

2013-09-30 Thread Craig Lanning
I have a laptop in a dock with an external monitor.  In Fedora 18, I
configured it use the external monitor as the primary display and to
turn the laptop screen off.

The machine in question has the following configuration:

HP EliteBook 8560p
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon 6400M
Docking Station with 1920x1080 monitor (connected via DVI) and wired
network.
Fedora 19 64-bit

If I create a new user, I can log into the new user just fine.  I see
both monitors with the laptop screen being primary.  If I change it so
that the external monitor is primary and the laptop screen is off, I can
reboot and login just fine.  After I customize the desktop a bit, when I
reboot and login, I get a blank screen with a mouse pointer, but it
never goes any further.

I've seen comments about changing the display manager to either kdm or
lightdm, but neither of those helped. It still behaved the same.  I even
found a comment about logging in to a text system (no display manager)
and using 'startx' to start the desktop.  I tried that, but it still
behaved the same.

Is there some way I can regain control of the user?

Is there a way I can reactivate the laptop screen without using the
Display applet in the gnome-control-center?

I can get the vesa driver to run at 1024x768, but what I want is the
r128 driver running at 1400x1050.  Part of why I want the r128 driver is
to get the hardware acceleration.

Anytime I had the r128 driver running at a resolution above 800x600, the
display exhibited some strange folding effects.  I think that means that
some of the timing values were wrong.

Thanks for your help.

I think my next step is to try installing Fedora 13 and see if I can get
that to work.  If it works, maybe I can collect timing values from it.

F14 Uses Wrong Resolution on Dell C600 Laptop

2010-12-06 Thread Craig Lanning
I have a Dell Latitude C600 which will only display at 800x600.

$ lspci -s 01:00.0
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x 
(rev 02)

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   800x60060.0*56.0  
   640x48060.0  

I tried adding 'nomodeset' to the kernel boot line, but that had no
effect.

I tried adding 'video=aty128fb:1400x1050' to the kernel boot line, but
that, also, had no effect.

Is there a way to get this machine to use the 1400x1050 natural
resolution of the LDC?
