FC6 - gconf entries in sys log
by Laurence Vanek 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

My system log is filling up with these messages every few minutes. I do not understand what going on here. System seems fine otherwise, more of an irritation than anything else. =========== Nov 5 10:52:50 localhost gconfd (lvanek-4906): starting (version 2.14.0), pid 4906 user 'lvanek' Nov 5 10:52:50 localhost gconfd (lvanek-4906): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 Nov 5 10:52:50 localhost gconfd (lvanek-4906): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/home/lvanek/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1 Nov 5 10:52:50 localhost gconfd (lvanek-4906): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 2 Nov 5 10:55:31 localhost gconfd (root-4811): GConf server is not in use, shutting down. ====================== there are no entries in directory "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" so Im confused (not a unique experience for me).

[OT] php, mysqli, PEAR DB or PEAR MDB2???
by Deepak 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Hi, I am beginner php programmer and want to develop some dynamic web pages using PHP and MySQL. At this point I am so confused on what method to use. AFAIK there are four methods ========== mysql mysqli PEAR::DB PEAR::MDB2 ========== Examples in some books are based on "mysql". Some recommends mysqli. Some recommend using PEAR DB. When I browsed PEAR website, DB module is obsolete now and new NDB2 is the latest. my problem is I am new to all of this and don't know where to start. I am using FC5 and PHP5 is intalled. My question is: ================= Where do I start? Should I start with mysql and progress to PEAR MDB2 or straight go ahead with MDB2? ================= Any recommendation appriciated.

RE: FC6 - X server can't start - embedded ATI Rage XL AGP - DellPowerEdge 700
by Charles Butterfield 05 Nov '06

Yeah. I've been digging into it and discovered (via strace) that Xorg is terminating its brute force pci scan of /proc/bus/pci/... a bit before encountering my video device, which is the last device in the pci space. scanpci and lspci show my video, but "Xorg -scanpci" doesn't show the device.

settings printer gone after reboot
by Peter Lesterhuis 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Hi, After upgrading to fc6 I had to re-configure my locally connected printer. I deleted the "old" printer via Cups web interface and added the new one. I could print again. But after a reboot my new settings were gone and the "old"were still there. I can't seem to make the changes permanently. What do I do wrong? Peter.

skypemate
by Thufir 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

some, not all, skype hardware can work with linux, apparently. <http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8592> gives some info on skypemate. I've also seen skype phones, which connect to the USB port, which advertise skypemate. Any personal experience? I hate the proprietary nature of the skype network, but it might be easiest to set up. -Thufir

Enlartenment RPMs for Fedora Core 6 now available :-)
by Michael Fleming 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

For those folks using my repository (yeah, both of you) I'd like to announce that I've (finally) gotten out a fairly complete package rebuild of my packages for Fedora Core 6. I've tried to remove the stuff that's already in Extras as well as the plain busted / unmaintained stuff upstream, so it's slightly fewer than previous releases. There's also a couple of compile failures I'm trying to work on (scummvm and stella, I'm fixing softflowd at the moment). However it does contain the Courier-related RPMS that folks bug me about from time to time, so if you've got an FC5 box and you've been jonesing for an update - now you can. Home page and setup instructions is in the usual place - http://www.enlartenment.com/packages.php . Each release has an enlartenment-release package for the really lazy :-). All packages are built using mock and do have some Extras dependencies. There are also RSS feeds available if you are REALLY keen. For those brave / foolhardy souls (other than me) who have/are going to make use of this - let me know if you find anything broken and shoot me an email with the details. (Oh, and this time around I'll make sure the FC5 repo gets new / updated packages, so as not to leave out the more conservative users :-). I have just enough infrastructure to manage both now) Cheers, Michael Fleming. -- Michael Fleming <mfleming(a)enlartenment.com> in Brisbane, Australia "Be master of your mind, not mastered by mind"

howto boot with a single gui app as the desktop ?
by Development discussions related to Fedora 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

I would like to configure an fc6 system so that it: - logs on without user interaction - runs only one application {vnc viewer - which asks for the name of a machine to connect to} - if the viewer is exited, then vnc viewer should restart, waiting for a machine to connect to. - has a way to exit the viewer. I haven't had any luck with searching for "linux single app" and the like. What are the technical terms for this sort of configuration ? Any pointers to information in this area would be very welcome ;) Thanks, DaveT.
