recommended x86_64 java plugin
by Wade Hampton 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

I am running FC6 on a few x86_64 machines. The 64-bit java JRE from Sun does not include a mozilla plugin. What is the recommended 64-bit plugin for Firefox or should I use the 32-bit plugin with nspluginwrapper? Thanks, -- Wade Hampton

FC6 & LTSP
by Frank Cox 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

I have a LTSP server that I just updated from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 6, and also updated it to LTSP 4.2. I can log in to the machine locally, and I can get the GDM login screen on the terminals as well. However, when I enter a username/password on the terminal it accepts my password and the screen goes blank for a few seconds and then the GDM login screen returns. If I log in on the server and then use the same username/password on the terminal, it tells me that I am already logged in and do I want to continue. I say YES and the screen goes blank and then returns me to the GDM login screen again. I can't find any log that tells me anything of value here. /var/log/secure says "Session opened for" and then "Session closed for" two seconds later, but nothing else. It appears to be not loading the Gnome desktop when logged in from a terminal. Does anyone have any ideas about why it would do that? I have been fiddling around with this for most of the day and haven't gained much ground from when I started. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

FC6 Nautilus file properties options are crap
by Tim 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Has anyone had a look at the options you get for setting file permissions in FC6's Nautilus? No longer you can tick on or off read, write, or execute permissions individually for user, group, and others. You get a drop-down for owner read-only or read/write, a drop-down for group none, read-only or read/write, likewise for others. But only one tick box that lets everybody or nobody execute the file? It seems stupid, in the extreme, to be able to end up setting something with file permissions like: rwx --x --x The addition of some SELinux options is welcome, but the two choices are quite lame: user or temporary data, nothing else is offered. The properties dialogue doesn't make any contextual changes for when you're playing with directories instead of files. The executable toggle is still labelled "allow executing file as program". If this is aimed as less techno-savvy users, it's going to be confusing. And for those who know about permissions, the thing is seriously unhelpful.

Window positioning?
by Bill Case 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi; Another possible bug, in the continuing series. Who or what is responsible for positioning newly opened windows in Fedora 6 and Gnome 2.16? Is it Fedora, Xorg, Gnome, MetaCity, or the application. It is very annoying after a while to have to move almost every new window from the top left corner to the centre of my screen. Is there any way to set up my system so that every window opens centred? It should be an option. Some may dislike the fact that the top window covers up other smaller windows. I am not one of those. I would like everything to start centred. When applications expand from an iconfication on the panel they can retain their positioning. Why can't they when they are newly opened? There used to be a geometry option for applications, but it hardly exists anymore. (Never really worked anyways). To me there should be an hierarchy of options. First a global positioning option, that can be overridden by an application option that can be overridden by a last used option. I forget in which Fedora core this changed, but removing options for the user and allowing only one way, the developers way, has an M$ feel to it. It strikes me that Gconfig-editors is the proper place to provide these choices. -- Regards Bill

Printing problems with FC6
by Tom Cross 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

I have a recently updated/freshly installed fedora core 6 workstation with an attached printer. I'm trying to set it up so that other computers can print to the attached printer. I cannot find anywhere in the "system-config-printer" program that says "allow printing from network". I had to edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and add a "Listen hostname:631" and an "Allow mynetwork" line there. After I added them, the two lines mysteriously disappeared. We tried reproducing the program by starting system-config-printer again, making changes, restarting cups, etc... the changes stayed. I'm thinking whatever overwrote my cupsd.conf is waiting for me to be out of the building to break it again. Is there a proper "fedora-way" to tell cups to allow for network printing? Is there a reason why my changes to cupsd.conf are getting replaced? Thanks!! -- Tom Cross Voice: 320-253-6483 Ext 207 FAX: 320-253-6956 IS Manager E-mail: tomc(a)kendeco.com Kendeco Tool Crib http://www.kendeco.com
