Upgrading to F15 using YUM
by Manilal K M
Hello all,
I am trying to upgrade my desktop to Fedora-15 using
YUM(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum).
# yum --releasever=15 --skip-broken distro-sync
The above command yielded the following errors:
Skip-broken could not solve problems

You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I have also tried the last suggestion in the error message. But it
didn't worked either.
How can I solve this dependency issues ?

Packaging wishlist - Sofatron media explorer
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Quite nice but packaging is likely to be involved. Grilo & friends were
being packaged by Bastien Nocera.
http://chrislord.net/blog/Software/presenting-a-mex.enlighten
"So, what is Sofatron? In short, it's a local and network video and
picture browser. It also has some search ability. The whole thing is
backed by Clutter, Mx, Grilo and Tracker, the latter three of which it
requires bleeding-edge versions of (you'll also need Tumbler if you want
thumbnails)"

light word processor
by A. Mani
I checked the latest version. It can be useful for people using
English as a second language and many others. Should be easy to
package.
http://writetype.bernsteinforpresident.com/writetype-1-2-130-is-out/
___________________________________________
WriteType 1.2.130 is now available! WriteType is a word-processor
designed for schools to help young students write better. It gives
students who have a hard time writing an easier approach in putting
their ideas on paper. The new release makes it even easier for
students to succeed! Some new features include:
* Phrase Completion — While WriteType has always had the ability
to quickly complete words, it now has the ability to complete commonly
used phrases as well. As you type, WriteType will detect which
phrases you use most frequently, and suggest them along with the
words. Clicking on the suggestions will insert them into the
document.
* Reading back words as they are typed — In order to help students
internalize what they are typing, WriteType will optionally read back
words immediately after they are typed.
* Reading back words in the list of suggestions — Each word in the
list of suggestions has a speaker icon on it that, when clicked, will
read the word out loud.
* Aesthetic improvements — WriteType has a brand new look!
* Global Setting Overrides — Setting up WriteType for a large
school or organization on a network is now much easier.
Administrators can optionally specify settings for the whole network,
instead of just on a computer-by-computer basis.
WriteType can be downloaded for GNU/Linux and Windows.
Bug reports, feature requests, and patches are always welcome. If you
are looking to get more involved, WriteType is in dire need of a
Windows maintainer, and could always use new developers and
translators. As always, though, the best thing you can to to help
WriteType is to get it into the hands of students, teachers, and
schools that could benefit!

by Siddharth Srivastav
I have a HP pavilion dv6 64-bit laptop and factory installed os is
windows 7 home premium. A recovery partition is provided. I want to
install Fedora - 14 DVD version on this laptop as the only operating

commands execute on it??
Also I have a Tata Photon+ USB modem. How can I configure Fedora - 14
to work with the USB modem like if I can use Wine or any software for
that??
Please help me regarding this....

Packaging wishlist - askbot & friends
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
I would like to run a instance of askbot (http://askbot.org) in
fedoraproject.org. The first step is to package it and the
dependencies. Some of them are already in Fedora. The rest of the list is:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Askbot
Some of the components in this list might have their own additional
dependencies. This is all Python and Django. If you are picking up
anything in this list, do drop a note here or edit the wiki with the
status/ link to review request etc. Thanks

Fwd: Request for packaging: grilo and grilo-plugins
by Rahul Sundaram
-------- Original Message --------
Subject: Request for packaging: grilo and grilo-plugins
Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2011 17:37:25 +0100
From: Bastien Nocera
Reply-To: Discussions about development for the Fedora desktop
<desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>
Organization: Red Hat
To: desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Heya,
In GNOME 3.2, we hope to have Totem use Grilo to implement the various
"source" sidebars, and there's also interest from Rhythmbox, and other
applications to start using it as a way to avoid duplicating various
amounts of code adding new sources to each of those applications.
Anybody interested in packaging grilo and grilo-plugins?
The upstream code is at:
https://live.gnome.org/Grilo
Cheers
