The Counter-Fedora People At #fedora
by Randy Yates
Why do the following people, time after time, insist on banning me for
asking fedora questions on #fedora?
VileGent
Khaytsus (or however you speel his name)
[R]
They are absolute pricks. If the Fedora community wants to improve
their position with the public, I suggest that they start monitoring
#fedora for the utterly vehement, venomous, vicious attitudes these
regulars have there and do a little pruning of operator priviledges.
I have been a Fedora user for 4 years (since FC3). I have (for
better or worse) provided documentation on some things that have
helped me:
http://galois.digitalsignallabs.com/notes.htm
I have encouraged my friends to switch to linux/fedora. I'm advising
others. I've filed several bug reports. I'M ON-BOARD WITH FEDORA!
So if you want to keep folks like me, and encourage others, please,
PLEASE - clean up the #fedora channel from the egomaniac, self-centered,
self-serving folks that spoil it for so many others.
Have a good New Year!

yes, I have tried the xset dpms flags option
eg. 'xset dpms 1201 1801 2401'
and these stay set until i reboot or kill X
but I _think_ I have seen a stray "dpms-like suspend" occur
at least once even with those settings.
So it still looks to me like some other system control.
I am using gnome; so maybe gnome power manager
is doing something here.
My system is a desktop not laptop.
Do you have any more info as to just how in your case
xset dpms was fighting with gnome power manager?

F12/Subversion/httpd -- PROPFIND access denied
by Steven F. LeBrun
After upgrading to Fedora 12, I installed and tried to set up a
Subversion repository with mixed success. I have worked out the bulk of
the issues but one still has me stumped. Hopefully, someone on this
list knows the answer or can point me to a URL that does.
The problem is that I cannot get Subversion to work with Apache 2.2.
Every time that I try to checkout the repository, I receive a 403
Forbidden Access error. To make matters more frustrating, if I access
the repository using local access (file:///...) the command works. It
is only when I try to use HTTP/WebDAV access (http://localhost/svn/...)
does the access problem occur.
Things that I have tried:
- SELinux enabled and disabled -- no difference.
- Various permissions and ownerships.
-- The repository and Subversion directories are currently owned by
apache.apache.
- Various settings in my subversion.conf file for httpd.
-- When the <LimitExcept> section is commented out, the failure comes
on the third
"PROPFIND /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request. The first
two return 207
while the third one returns 403. Using Wireshark, all three
requests are identical
barring numbers in the IP headers.
-- When the <LimitExcept> section is active, the failure comes on the
very first request,
"OPTIONS /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request with a 403
response.
-- Both 403 responses contain the same reason: "You don't have
permission to access
/svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk\n on this server."
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

GDM resolution.
by Grzegorz Witkowski
Hi,
I have got a problem with GDM resolution. It looks GDM uses a very low
resolution.
Once I log into Gnome, the resolution is back to normal (1440x900 set by
xrandr).
I can see there are setting for GDM in gconf-editor. Is there anyway to
set the resolution there or should this be set somewhere
in /etc/gdm/Init/Default or /etc/gdm/custom.conf maybe?
I do not want to use xorg.conf and come back to the past when xrandr
does the job for Gnome properly now, for me at least.
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks.

small gripe -- for Fedora, or KDE, or ....?
by Beartooth
I run Gnome, and have a strong if irrational allergy to KDE in
general; but there are several apps (such as Konqueror for man pages, and
K3B) that I use so much that I make sure to get them even if I have to
install all of KDE to do it. I might well use, or at least try, several
more, if I didn't have to interrupt what I'm concentrating on ..
But for as long as I can remember, there have been two kinds of
entries in the Main menu: ones that will tell you what they are or do if
you hover the cursor over them -- and ones that belong to KDE.
Why the lacuna? Do KDE developers, like Apple developers, presume
that *everyone* already knows?
Do they, like the poet Stefan George, want entanglements of
"barbed wire against the uncalled" [Stacheldraht wider Unberufene] around
their demesnes?
Do they offer descriptions, which Fedora (a/o Fedora/Gnome) then
suppresses?? To whom ought one address a request for them??

Name of fedora lists - you're kidding right?
by Genes MailLists
Suggestion:
May I suggest as we move to the new mailling list server, that we
please change the name(s) from the current long (and goofy) one(s) such as:
"Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora."
to something more concise ?
thanks.
