Xemacs over ssh tunnel question
by Jerry Feldman
My Desktop system at work is an HP Integrity (IA64) with Fedora 9 and a
GNOME desktop. Because I do a lot of compiling under xemacs, I ssh -X
to a RHEL 5.2 system to run xemacs. Under RHEL 4, everything worked
fine, but under RHEL 5.2 I am unable to click on any buttons on a dialog
box. Everything else works fine.
If I log into a RHEL 5.2 console through a KVM, things work fine. So,
the issue seems to be some combination of a Fedora 9 IA64 host running
xemacs through ssh and X forwarding through the tunnel.
One solution is that I could install RHEL 5.1 on the workstation, but I
would prefer Fedora. AFAIK, Fedora 10 is not yet available for IA64.

Broadcom-wl v. Kernel
by homburg＠tips-Q.com
I have a new Dell toy on which I installed F10. I had
been running F8 on a Vaio with a vanilla kernel that
had the athos drivers compiled in.
Setup installed the PAE kernel. Using rpmfusion, I
installed broadcom-wl along with the dependencies.
kernel
broadcom-wl
kmod-wl-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686
kmod-wl
I am not at all sure why it installed two kmod-wl. Both are
from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates???
Is the kernel dependency correct? Does this mean that - to
use wireless - I should boot from the non-PAE kernel?
I hate to ask - I feel stupid - but what is the difference
between rpmfusion free and nonfree? Is this a licensing
issue?
Thanks

Will Fedora 9 get 2.6.28?
by Will Yonker
Hello all,
The subject says it all really. I'm running Fedora 9 and want to use
EXT4. I realize there is support in the 2.6.27 but I've read that all the
goddies are not in until 2.6.28. So, will Fedora 9 get it or do I have to
upgrade to Fedora 10?
Is anyone using EXT4 and software RAIDs (5)?
Thanks

find one that does not require windows or mac software to simply download the
mp3 files, or other such stupidity.
Suggestions ?
Thanks in advance

F10 post installation kernel issue?
by Dan Thurman
First time F10 install went well. One thing I did
differently in installing F10 was to:
1) Use the Volume based filesystems
2) Enabled disk encryption
I noticed that on every reboot, one must enter the password
long before seeing a grub display. Hmm... maybe for a server
this is not the way to go, but for a workstation, it's probably ok.
Anyway, the initial kernel I started with is:
(1) kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686
I proceeded to get the latest updates and this was approx. 1 week ago.
I later added programs I wanted installed, configured the services I wanted,
etc., etc., and everything went well. I was able to reboot, no problems.
But then a few days later, more updates came through, but specifically
a new kernel was added:
(2) kernel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686
Rebooting, I got the messages:
======================
ata1: ACPI get timing mode failed (AE 0x300d)
Loading /lib/kdb/Keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map
[hang]
So, I never got to the point where I needed to enter
the encrypted disk password for continuance.
To be sure, I rebooted back to the original kernel (1),
and it booted just fine. Leaving it there, I continued using
the system, but got yet another kernel update:
(3) kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686
Same problem reported in (2) above. So I am still
stuck at using my initial kernel at (1).
Is there anything I can do or to check to understand why
I am not able to use the latest kernels?
Thanks!

is KDE dead - did Gnome win?
by Genes MailLists
I am a long time KDE user - in part for similar reasons to Linus - it
was configurable, flexible and let me set things up the way I wanted -
easily and simply. It had a very nice configuration manager. Gnome by
contrast was rigid, inflexible and to configure it - the bits it
allowed you to - you needed in part to learn about its registry which
warned you that the registry editor may corrupt things in bad ways - use
at your risk. Gnome was undergoing rapid changes - metacity went through
a lot before it was stable .. kde all the while was pretty stable.
That was the way things used to be. Now KDE is harder to configure,
not as flexible and is difficult if not impossible to set up the way I
like things (task manager showing 1 icon per console or per firefox, the
workspace chooser in the middle, the ability to click and save a session
etc etc).
So what I am seeing is some of the KDE users I know are slowly giving
up and moving back to gnome - its the default windowing
manager/environment on fedora and ubuntu and seems more mature and
stable than KDE 4 - and since as far as configurability goes, KDE has
little advantage to offer at this time. Perhaps the next version, or the
one after that will bring back the advantages. Maybe by 4.2 or 4.3 or
4.4 or... 5.0 ..
So seeking guidance from the path others are choosing:
(1) Are the fedora KDE users moving back to gnome ? ... is KDE dead
or alive ?
(2) Are there fedora Gnome users moving to KDE ? It is after all very
similar in its function now ... and does not use spatial mode by default
(;-).
Be very interested in hearing what thoughts others are having.

yum list display some package in 2 rows
by Ambrogio
Hi all,
I use yum list in a script to have everytime I need a list of package
available.
Some packages, that have long names, are displayed in 2 rows, so scripts
are more hard to be coded.
There is an option to have a more simple list of packages, less readable
by umans, but more readable by computer?
Tnx

campcaster on fedora?
by Dave Stevens
I hope the subject line is self-explanatory, but in case it isn't, does anyone
have Campcaster (radio station automation software) in an rpm? It seems the
default builds are .debs.
