tb 115.4.1

I sort my mail into many folders, using message filters.

When I select a folder, the list of messages is focused somewhere in the 
past, nowhere near the last item I opened (normally the latest).
I have to scroll down to bring the message into view, and it is usually 
highlighted (so TB knows but hides it).


I want the last message to be selected (shown in the right message body 
pane) when I open a folder.


Same occurs in F39. It is really boring. Bit of an oversight, ignored 
the UI to make it "as difficult to read my email as possible colour 
scheme, and highlight old emails in every folder". Hopefully, that will 
also be fixed soon.


But maybe never tested on typical email users, so probably needs a 
bugzilla check and entry...

I second the vote for okular.

I use it.  Can add comments, highlight, underline or mark a block.

You can choose the colours you want to use as well.


Quick start: press F6 to get the annotate toolbar.

Works great.


Note: at least in the past some of the other Fedora available pdf 
applications that let you annotate - they stored the annotation 
information within your ~/.config/ location.


Then when you moved to pdf to another machine - or emailed to someone - 
it was the original pdf without markup ;-(

Maybe try using the GUI to see if it actually works. If it does, work
out which files get changed and therefore what needs to be changed from

As current Audacity packager, I'm keen to find out more about your issue.

What name, version release was first version with all the errors ?
Did you happen to screen shot, or capture text console output ?

Also, the same for the update you received. I expect that
audacity-freeworld should not replace audacity. Is that what happened
with dnf update, or was that a manual process. If you start from a
terminal prompt, what text is output ?

By the way, I also need testers for the future Audacity 2.1.2 (alpha)
which I've built [1] and should be in -testing soon. Unfortunately, no
RPMFusion -freeworld builds for 2.1.2 alpha yet.

If your packages are allowed in Fedora, Fedora account holders can use
COPR: Cool Other Packages Repository [1]. People use this for testing
latest upstream (git) versions, or where they don't feel they have the
time to officially develop a package and become a Fedora package
maintainer.

Here you can submit either a .src.rpm URL, or upload same from the
COPR web interface. You can then request to build against
current/devel Fedora versions. The rpms are the output, but it also
does createrepo that you can enable in dnf.

Other than that, mock is the answer, and what Fedora packagers use to
test build packages for any version.

 Have you actually measured its real write speed for large files? Try

 I have an HP laptop with
 AMD Turion II X2 mobile processor RM-72 / 2.1 GHz CPU, Socket S1.
 It is now causing blue screens in windows and freezes
 linux (pclinuxos, knoppix, fedora live).
Having recently replaced my notebook, I leave a short tale:
Machine would instantly power off during heavy tasks (one development
language) under windows, and trying any yum based activity in Fedora 20.
In Fedora, even setting nice at max niceness rarely got me through a yum
update (with the trashed rpm db that the (emergency) power off caused).

I opened all parts of the notebook, and used a compressed air spray to
remove any dust I could. This made no significant difference. I just
avoided those tasks (eg hit ctrl-z as the fan spun up, waited ten
seconds and let it go fg).

A few months later, I got access to an air compressor with nozzle. While
there are risks in doing this (damage components either physically or
via static/moisture), cleaning it in all directions worked well (jam any
fans with a cable tie to stop the air over-speeding the fan), and I was
able to use the laptop normally for the next few months. (I blame the
dog's fur ;-)

Other recommendations I saw included removing the cpu to replace the
heat transfer paste/material with fresh new material, could be worth a
shot...

 *Thermal Design Power* *35 Watt*
How does this compare to the existing CPU's dissipation ?

Another thing you can do with multi-core cpu (at least intel) is to
instruct the kernel to disable cores. However, I think this could only
help you if it is the second core that is a problem, because I think the
first core always runs the boot process, ie it needs to stay on.

   Not sure I have ever seen a situation like this. I can change the phone
 from MTP to PTP mode but then all of the files do not show up (but I can
 copy the files that do). I tried looking at this issue on the net but
 all I got was noise.
Same on F20 with a Android 4.4 device, which implements only MTP (media
device), whereas my old android was 2.3 and supported USB mass storage.
See eg:
http://www.howtogeek.com/192732/android-usb-connections-explained-mtp-ptp-and-usb-mass-storage/

With MTP, I find that I can:
- view the whole directory structure
- access all directories
- create new folders
- add new files.
- retrieve / move image files and audio files.
But not retrieve other file types, nor file types with invalid characters.

A workaround is to rename the file (eg ES file manager) on the device
and append either .jpg or .mp3. Then I can copy or move to local disk.

But I seem to remember that at one stage, I could read/delete/move files
using my Fedora20 machine.

Are you preparing to install Fedora 21 ?

500 GB is way large enough, for example my current installation of the

FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3  39G   27G  9.4G  75% /
/dev/sda1 2.0G  604M  1.3G  33% /boot
/dev/sdc2  40G   34G  5.9G  86% /var
  (I have /var on a separate disk and partition due to the main disk
being an SSD; this avoids potential problems with data on /var that is
often being re-written. It also contains package mockbuild caches for
F19,F20,F21, EL5, EL6, EL7 totaling 4.8GB, and some virtual machines.)

/dev/mapper/vg1-home_vg1  643G  643G  713M 100% /home
  (could be as small as say 20G; you may also like to mount your windows
partition to use data files from it - this would give more space).

I have 3577 rpm packages installed. [rpm -qa|wc -l], so this is quite a
large install.


 And, in the case I need to prepare the partitions in one way 
 differentthan I already prepared, I do not know how to do this ...
It would help if we were able to see how the disk is currently
partitioned. You could boot a Fedora rescue image (to text mode), and
then list the current layout of the first sata disk by:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
, and reply to the list with that info.

Then I would be making a backup of your disk. If you haven't done much
in windows, then this might only be a DVD or 2 worth of space.

Next, I would use a bootable gparted CD to resize the main windows
partition to leave the space you want for your linux installations. I've
done this quite often without trouble, but better to backup then be
sorry if it doesn't work.

Once there is space to add your new Fedora partitions in, we can provide
some info on how to set custom partitioning during Fedora install.

 It depends on what the 'nofail' option does if the UUID is present but

Hey Bill, I see you are after a RHEL solution, but does any of these
things you tried work on Fedora 17 or 18 ?

I wasn't able to do what you are trying to do on F16 or F17, either boot
deciding it can't complete (which is really incorrect because the
partitions needed to boot the machine and load user home dirs are
mounted and usable - it's just the optional backup mount that isn't), or
the drive not mounted at all.

I also realized there is no hot-plug mounting, because it wasn't plugged
after a user logged in. And if it hot plugged, then it' is mounted for
just that user under /var/somewhere ...

You would also want to ensure the drive isn't mounted if fsck was going
to run. Doing it outside the boot process would be good, because then it
wouldn't pause the boot process until your ~1TB drive is fscked...

2012-06-30 Thread David Timms

I'm getting so app pausing, and found disk errors in the messages log:

How do I translate ata3 or ata3.00 into the logical disk eg /dev/sdN ?

Also, I seen sd 2:0:0:0: as the disk label, how would you convert that

mount ntfs, then nfs export it - empty folder shown on client

2011-08-29 Thread David Timms
Hi, I have:
Server:
- ip=192.168.16.111
- ext4 partitions
- ntfs partition /dev/sda1

/etc/fstab mounts the ntfs partition at:
  /home/c-drive/

I can read/write that folder and it's directories from root and my user 
account (locally).

I setup nfs export of /home/ to 192.168.16.104


Client:
- ip=192.168.16.104
- mount -t nfs4 192.168.16.111:/ /home/dtnotebook/

- ls -l /home/dtnotebook
shows the folders including c-drive that are present on the server

- ls -l /home/dtnotebook/c-drive
shows no files nor folders present.

I googled my way around the earth and back, trying each suggestion, eg:
http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#nfs
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=159877

The info I have found (circa 2007) said you either need to:
1. recompile fuse source and create a new kernel module, but this seems 
to be working from fuse = 2.7.4, and to use:
2. use a kernel  2.6.14, which has the export of ntfs capability.

Anybody got this working, and/or could post the /etc/fstab and 
/etc/exports and the client command that are actually working ?

compile error between gcc 4.5 and 4.6

I'm having trouble with building dvbcut [1] for F15. It occurs on both

The source [2] hasn't changed, so I guess gcc has gained the ability to

Are you using binary graphics drivers from nvidia or ati ?

audio config: split a 5.1 output into 3x independent stereo outputs

2011-01-10 Thread David Timms
Hi, I'm trying to work out if it is possible to configure
alsa/pulseaudio so that eg:
- 3x apps creating stereo audio
- each send audio to a different 5.1 output ie (physical stereo mini jack)

= stream 1 to 5.1/jack 1 front l/r = amp for room 1
= stream 2 to 5.1/jack 2 surround l/r = amp for room 2
= stream 3 to 5.1/jack 3 centre/sub  = amp for room 3

[in my case, the audio interface is that built into a asus m4a79t deluxe
mainboard:
!!Soundcards recognised by ALSA
!!-

 0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
  HDA ATI SB at 0xf7ef8000 irq 16


!!PCI Soundcards installed in the system

Maybe you have split your commands over multiple lines ?

 yum

Possibly the same here. You can
yum list whatever*
first to find out if something you  need exists.

Re: (Fedora 13) Seamonkey 2.0.x - bundling external libraries

 Is anyone aware of any potential issue when using Mozilla's private

Fedora packaging guidelines [1] prevents bundling external libraries.
Main reason [2] is that security and bug fixes should be fixed in the
one library, and hence fix all applications against that issue. If there
was no such policy, then it would essentially be impossible to fix any
security issue against the library, because it becomes hidden in N
application binaries.

There is also a memory use improvement by using shared libraries.

Help the maintainer, by testing the proposed fix yourself with an rpmbuild:

1. yum downloader --source name-of-package(or parent package)
2. extract the rpm
3. test your rpmbuild capability works with the existing packages as is
4. open up the .spec
5. bump the release part
6. add a comment describing the action you are taking
7. add a patch from elsewhere to the patch file definition
8. add the apply patch command to the %prep section
9. rpmbuild -ba the-package
10. install the built package
11. test the application
12. when you are sure that the fix works and doesn't introduce other
issues, make a diff of the spec ot the original
13. post the spec patch and the actual patch to the bug. indicate that
this has successfully built and been running, perhaps with some stats
eg: a couple of runs of before and after:
- time applicationname

Does all your cables have 2 pairs of wires or 4 pairs of wires, and are
they properly pinned out ?

Even in purchased cables, I have seen such faults (especially cheap/no
name) cables, where the pins for 100Mb are correctly pinned out, but the
other 4x wires are not.

Are they hand terminated, did the pins crimp down properly etc ?
It's not uncommon to have faulty raw plugs, or crimp tools (eg that scar
the edges of the plastic channels - making the copper fingers be unable
to make contact).

I'm assuming it's reception of the signal that you are having trouble with.

But if it's the output, it could be that the output is set for YC
(s-video), but you have only the composite video connected (or connected
to the Y pin). I guess the same can happen in the analog to digital
encoding or decoding of the signal, but I'm unfamiliar with your app and
card.

Ensure your rescuecd is of similar vintage, if not same kernel version
and for the same architecture as your installed system.

Let it get an IP address, and mount your drives.

chroot /mnt/sysimage (as it reminds you).

Then it definitely works; you are running from the in memory kernel from
the rescue cd, but every app/tool you try to access is from the

ps: is it missing a dracut built /boot/initramfs..img for the kernel

That can be solved by ensuring you have an older kernel installed and
running, and uninstall / reinstall the current kernel.

Re: problem booting windows on a flash stick via qemu

I am of course just guessing:
While windows users don't usually get involved in this, ms do install 
one of a small number of kernels to suit the hardware they are 
installed on.

To test you might like to install a fresh copy using qemu, just to make 
sure it can work, and then take a look at any difference in the kernel 
used by each install.

I believe some have solved it by copying the win hardware profile while 
running on the original vm, then boot that up, and delete all hardware, 
and then shut it down.

On new host, select the empty hardware profile; win might invoke the 
new hardware wizard to get it all going.

(The other one I've come across in going from vmware to qemu/virt host 
is no support for split hard disk images.)

Try also iotop, incase it higlights a particular app that is always

If you have an ageing processor, performing in cpu audio mixing via

The second one is non-accelerated video drivers, if you are doing any 3d
