Good old gkrellm? There even is a gkrellm-wifi package available in Fedora.

Hi Niki,

Welcome aboard!

Re: [RHEL question] why is beta 2 so much smaller?

   slightly off-topic but i don't have the heart to subscribe to yet
 another mailing list -- i want to download the latest beta (2?) of
 RHEL 6, and i've ended up here:
 
 ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/6Server-beta2/x86_64/iso/
 
 where i can see the two ISO images:
 
 RHEL6.0-20100622.1-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso  3.9GB
 RHEL6.0-20100715.2-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso  3.2GB
 
   based on the datestamps in the filenames, i would think that second
 ISO is the latest x86_64 image, but it looks odd that it's
 significantly smaller than the earlier one.  or am i misinterpreting
 what i'm looking at?  thanks.

Curious case indeed. Although it's a bit offtopic for this list, feel free 
to reply with your findings :-)

Re: Fedora 13 Samba weirdness

2010-08-13 Thread nux
kalinix writes:

 Today I saw a very weird behavior when mount samba shares.
 On F11, I used to mount samba shares with the following command:
 
 mount //sambaserver/share /local/mountpoint -o username=USER
 
 Then I was prompted for a password. This way, my password was never
 printed on the screen.
 Now on F13, when I tried the same scenario, I got an error message: 
 
 share mount is write-protected, mounting read-only
 could not mount share in write protected mode.
 
 After I googled around, I found that, in order to solve the problem, i
 have also to pass the password as an option to mount, like:
 
 mount //sambaserver/share /local/mountpoint -o
 username=USER,passwd=PASSWORD
 
 Only thing is, by doing this the password will show up in 'mount'
 output:
 
 //sambaserver/share on /local/mountpoint type cifs
 (rw,user=USER,passwd=PASSWORD)
 
 and is not visible to me only, but to any user on that system that runs
 mount command.
 
 Does anyone knows how to avoid this?

Yes, provide the password via PASSWD environment variable or via a 
credentials file. man mount.cifs

 Try just copying it.  If the mozilla does a chroot the symlink may be
 outside of what it can access.
 
 I copied it to
 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
 and
 /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
 but it didn't resolve the problem.
 
 The interesting thing is, that it still works without the sandbox if I
 remove the plugin from both locations..

That's a lol. Did you check ~/.mozilla/plugins, maybe it's there?

64 bit kernel, 32 bit userland

2010-08-11 Thread nux
Hello,

I'm reading here[1] that even when installing the 32 bit version of Fedora 
we can get a 64 bit kernel (which is awesome). Can someone confirm if this 
has actually been implemented in F13?

Re: Recovering a Ghost Image

 Hi,
 
 Just before my old laptop was destroyed by the dog (don't ask), I made a
 back up from the laptop using Norton Ghost 15 thinking I would be able
 to use Norton via Wine to recover the archives.
 
 Turns out that N15 won't run under Wine and won't boot via another
 laptop (way too old).
 
 Shortly after the backup, my RAID array on the main machine went belly
 up, so I also lost a pile of stuff from there, but not the stuff from
 the old laptop (held on a different drive).
 
 Is there any way to dearchive a Norton image via qemu or something like
 that?

There's an idea; try to boot it in a VirtualBox machine.

 
 TTFN
 
 Paul

 No, never happened.
 

Aw :

Does anyone have a solution for running a 32 bit fedora userland on top of a 
64 bit kernel? 
I'm quite interested in this setup to be honest and I saw it 
somewhere that's relatively trivial to have it running on Debian, only I 
don't want to run that.

The first problem I see is how to fool yum into retrieving 32 bit version of 
the packages and ignore $ARCH. Ideas?

 When I had it running.
 Set up a normal 32 bit Desktop.
 
 Then duplicated the repos.
 with inlcudepkgs=kernel* in one batch.
 exclude=kernel in the 32bit ones.
 Having set $basearch as relevant to each.

Not very elegant, but better than nothing. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Alex,

Not sure about VMs, but gkrellm can show a lot of system info. HTH.

ati catalyst workaround for fedora13

2010-07-01 Thread nux
Hello there,

Does anyone know if there is a workaround for running the ati fglrx
drivers on fedora 13 or how difficult it would be to port fedora 12's
xorg to f13?
For fedora 12 there is this:
http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22884
And it works (thanks Steffen Seeger for the effort!), but I'm now on
fedora 13 and laptop gets too hot with the experimental mesa drivers
(altough performance wise they are decentish).

Thanks!
