redhat-config-xfree86 error
by Satish Balay 29 Oct '03

29 Oct '03

I get the following error - when I use redhat-config-xfree86 and change any settings - and click 'ok'. >>> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xConfigDialog.py", line 250, in ok self.xconfig.monitor.remove(1) IndexError: index out-of-bounds >>> Dones anyone else see this? This is on a thinkpad T40 (with radeon 9000). I've started off with test 2 install and ever since keep updating to rawhide. I have updated Xfree86 packages ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing at one point of time - but I think this stuff is now in rawhide as well.. [asterix]: rpm -q redhat-config-xfree86 redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.13-1 [asterix]: rpm -q XFree86 XFree86-4.3.0-40 Thanks, Satish

75x75 font default not acceptable
by Felix Miata 29 Oct '03

29 Oct '03

xft is new to me. I can't find in man pages for xinit or startx what needs to be put where in xinitrc or anywhere else so that 'xdpyinfo | grep resolution' gives me 100x100 instead of 75x75. If I were using startx, -dpi 100 could be used on the command line, but a normal Fedora install isn't set up to require a user to run startx from the command line. Can someone please either tell me what to put where, or point me to adequate documentation? -- "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom...." Proverbs 9:10 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

But I don't see where in grub.conf one would specify the "rhgb" option. Would someone care to provide a little detail? Thanks!

RH Professional Workstation
by Friedhelm Betz 29 Oct '03

29 Oct '03

Hi, it seems RH will still offer boxes for end users, the next to RHL 9 http://www.redhat.de/software/workstation/ http://shop.redhat.de/katalog/software This one is in german only, but you'll get the relevant parts: 99 bucks To clear my confusion: Is this offer only for the european market? Whats the relation to fedora core? Thanks Friedhelm

mozilla: no language packs as root
by Christoph Wickert 29 Oct '03

29 Oct '03

Hi everybody! Maybe someone ran into this problem, too. * Install a custom version of mozilla (1.5 in my case), ether tarball or from the mozilla-seamonkey-releases (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/yum/SeaMonkey/releases/curre…) * Open mozilla as root, go to http://mozilla.org, get the language pack and exit mozilla. * Start mozilla again and go to Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages/Content: The Language pack seems no installed. * Start mozilla as user and everything is fine: You can change the language. Just wondering... I know that I *should* not run mozilla as root. :-) Christoph -- Christoph Wickert <christoph.wickert(a)web.de>

mount --bind
by Carlos Rodrigues 29 Oct '03

29 Oct '03

Hi! I intend to mount a directory in another location with "mount --bind" and I wanted to know if there is a way to automate this by putting it somewhere like /etc/fstab. I can put it in /etc/init.d/rc.local but I would rather do this in a more "elegant" way. Carlos Rodrigues

Maybe someone answered this already (I'm reading the list in digest form at the moment). anyway, OpenOffice.org also creates a file named .sversionrc in which it records the version and location of the directory used for user preferences. Check the contents of this file. It's probably safe to remove it and restart the latest updated OOo version (which will then recreate this file with the currently correct info). David Jansen
