by Eric Tanguy
i can't understand why this icon allways says there is 34 updates
available whereas when i try to update there is no update available. I
tried to refresh it without any success.
Someone have an idea ?
Thanks

As a guess, the partition label is screwed up. The OS uses this
statement in fstab to attempt the mount at boot:
LABEL=/home/cj/archive /home/cj/archive ext3 defaults 1 2
and, somehow, the label gets mapped to /dev/sdb1. But this is what works:
mount -t ext2 -w /dev/sdc1 /home/cj/archive
Definitely not the same. A quick fix is to just change fstab to use the
device definition that works:
/dev/sdc1 /home/cj/archive ext3 defaults 1 2
I'm guessing there is a user program such as diskdruid to change the
partition label. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is. Perhaps
someone else on the list can enlighten both of us.
Cheers,
Dave

[FC5] Gnome-KDE desktop mess
by Deepak
Hi,
I have been using KDE as default desktop in my FC5 installation.
Lately I wanted to try the Gnome but Gnome desktop shows its icons
plus the desktop icons I have in my KDE desktop. so I have now two
home icons, two trash cans etc in my desktop. How can I have two
separate set of icons in my desktop for Gnome and KDE and exclude each
others icons?
Thanks

metacity keybindings stopped working after FC5->FC6 upgrade
by Adam Monsen
When I press "Left Windows Key + d" on my keyboard, I like that to run
gnome-dictionary. Since Fedora Core 1, I've been doing this using a script
that calls gconftool-2 or by firing up gconf-editor and manually modifying
metacity shortcuts, as described here:
http://gnome-hacks.web.com/hacks.html?id=14
After upgrading to Fedora Core 6, the metacity keybindings suddenly stopped
working. I can see that in gconf-editor, the metacity keybindings are still
properly defined, for instance,
"apps->metacity->global_keybindings->run_command_6" maps to "<Mod4>d", and
"apps->metacity->keybinding_commands->command_6" maps to "gnome-dictionary".
And, I'm pretty dang sure I'm still using metacity since it is in the
process table and my graphics card doesn't support AIGLX, so compiz wouldn't
even run if I tried (and I did try).
Anyone know why metacity no longer intercepts the Mod4+d chord?
My next step is probably to blow away all my ~/.gno* settings directories
since I don't do a heck of a lot of desktop customization, and if I do I'm
probably spending time on something I don't need to spend time on.

Thunderbird message list font
by Ian Pilcher
I am in the process of migrating from FC5 to FC6. Things are looking
good (much better than this point during my FC4-to-FC5 migration)!
One issue I do have is the *extremely* bold font that is being used in
the Thunderbird message list. Google found a page that explains how to
change it by editting userChrome.css, but I was wondering if there was a
GNOME setting somewhere that affects this.
Anyone know? Thanks!

Timezone weirdness on dual boot machine
by David Scriven
I'm running FC6 & Win XP on a dual boot machine - Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel 965 chipset
There a weird situation with the clock which shows up when I go from FC6 to Win XP
and back. If the clock is correct in FC6 and you go to XP the clock is eight hours fast.
If it is then corrected and you go back to FC6, it is eight hours slow. The zones are set
correctly for both systems - Pacific Time zone = GMT-8, so my guess is that FC6 is not
correctly interpreting the timezone info when reading the system clock.
Anybody else come across this? - Is there something that I should set (or check
whether it's been set)?

Intermittent Wireless Connectivity
by Jeffrey D. Yuille
Hello,
I have installed Fedora Core 6 on an IBM ThinkPad T-30 laptop. I
have an Atheros-based wireless card that I am using with this laptop. I
don't know if anyone is having problems with intermittent connection
problems, but I am using WPA2 encryption through a Linksys WRT54G
Wireless router (an encryption upgrade I made a while back). It seems
as if there is wireless connection for about 10 seconds and after that,
the connection drops. In fact, the wireless router is about three away
from where I use the laptop. I didn't have this problem when FC5 was
installed. In fact, I can count on one hand if I ever had a dropped
connection.
How can I correct this problem? Has anyone else experienced
intermittent dropped connections? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

pan
by Amadeus W.M.
Are we no longer to switch news servers in pan in FC6?
I added news.gmane.org when pan first came up, then I added another server
where I can read things like comp.os.linux.misc. I can't figure out for
the life of me how to switch the news servers with the new pan layout.

What does you /etc/fstab file look like? I'm not understanding what you
mean by "mount manually" fails on reboot but you can mount it, "once the
machine comes up." Is your mount command in /etc/init.d/rc.local?
Cheers,
Dave
