July 2009 - india - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Jain Basil Aliyas

Hi, I was using Awesome Window Manager ( http://awesome.naquadah.org/ ) in Ubuntu 8.10 and I came to know that it is not available in Fedora Distribution. Is that because Awesome is not added to the official repositories of Fedora? The download link in awesome official website ( http://awesome.naquadah.org/download/ ) also says there are no binaries available for Fedora. I think it'd be nice to have awesome window manager also in our official repo. What do you feel? Regards Jain Basil Aliyas -- Student, Department of Computer Science & Engineering Govt.

dekstop-file-utils

by Ankur Sinha

hi, Can somebody shed more light on the above package please? This is what google gave me: "Definition: desktop-file-utils: .desktop files are used to describe an application for inclusion in GNOME or KDE menus. This package contains desktop-file-validate which checks whether a .desktop file complies with the specification athttp:// www.freedesktop.org/standards/, and desktop-file-install which installs a desktop file to the standard directory, optionally fixing it up in the process." I've understood desktop-file-install (somewhat) from the above definition. However, I have been suggested to use update-desktop-database.[1] $ yum whatprovides update-desktop-database ... desktop-file-utils-0.15-3.fc10.x86_64 : Utilities for manipulating .desktop files Repo : fedora Matched from: Filename : /usr/bin/update-desktop-database Can somebody please tell me what update-desktop-database is responsible for? As much in detail as possible please? More info on the other two apps (desktop-file-validate/install) would also be great. I've already been here [2]. It merely describes how to use them in a spec and not what they do. :( [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507052#c6 [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#desktop-database -- regards, Ankur

External disk drives don't have original access rights when auto mounted in Fedora11

by Ratnadeep Debnath

Hi all, I am using Fedora 11. I am finding the way F11 auto mounts external disk drives a bit weird. In case of my Maxtor USB HDD, labeled MyStorage, F11 mounts with the following permissions. drwx------ 1 rtnpro rtnpro 8192 2009-07-07 23:14 /media/MyStorage/ Similar kind of permissions are for my MicroSD memory card drwx------ 16 rtnpro rtnpro 16384 1970-01-01 05:30 /media/Memory card/ /etc/mstab gives the following info : /dev/sdb1 /media/MyStorage fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/Memory\040card vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=500,gid=500,shortname=lower,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush 0 0 This was not the case in Fedora 10. I want to get the external drives automounted with their default permissions. Thanks, Regards, rtnpro

Re: Reliance data card ZTE AC 8710

by Salvadesswaran P.S.

Hi, I think there are Linux drivers, but since the product is of Chinese make, I doubt if the drivers compile properly. I've had trouble with Chinese wireless products on Linux in the past. You can look here: http://outbackwifi.blogspot.com/2009/06/howto-connect-to-internet-using-z... The method seems to have worked fine with Ubuntu, but I wonder if it would work on Fedora.

Re:queries regarding freemediaRe: queries regarding freemedia

by Salvadesswaran P.S.

Hi. That's a nice suggestion, but personally I just download the image, burn a few discs and give all but two away. The remaining two are with me, one for archival purposes, and the other for installing Fedora 11 for friends and relatives.
