FC5: press euro key and laptop suspends
by Patrick
Hi all,
Yesterday I did a fresh install of FC5 on my Acer Ferrari 4005. I only
use the Gnome desktop and have applied all updates as of today. Since
the euro (€) and dollar ($) keys on the keyboard don't work out of the
box I tried to fix that (see below). The dollar key works fine.
Unfortunately when I activate the euro key and press it then it prints
the euro sign but immediately afterwards the laptop's screen goes black
and seem to go into some kind of standby mode. Anyone have an idea why
this is happening and how I prevent this from happening?
Thanks,
Patrick
0) in grub.conf I added i8042.nomux no_timer_check
1) apply the patch from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185075
2) add in /etc/rc.d/rc.local the following lines:
#

# Rationale: "NoSymbol" keys have nothing to do with X apps - they must
# be handled on the lower level if at all (they do their work).
# Therefore I've mapped them to the keycodes that never get
# reported to X (I think). "XF86Display" mapped according to the only
# other occurrence in <inet> file. "Help" and "XF86Launch*" buttons
# mapped by majority and grouping of "XF86Launch*" buttons in <inet>
# file. "dollar" was mapped in resemblance of it ASCII code and "Euro"
# used to plug a discontinuity

Can LVM1 read an LVM2 volume?

Subject:
Can LVM1 read an LVM2 volume?
Date:
Fri, 31 Mar 2006 10:37:39 +0100
Hello all,
I would like to read my FC5 LVM disks, duak booted with
an old
(~RHEL3) system. If I try vgscan or pvscan on the RHEL 3 machine
there
is nothing visible.
Should I (can I ) remove the lvm layer from FC5?
Or would it be easier to graft lvm2 into RHEL 3?
Thanks,
Bill

Thunderbird crashes, when adding lightning event to webdav
by Thomas Widhalm
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi!
I started using Thunderbird with Lightning on Tao Linux 4 (=
Recompilations of RHAS4 sources) with a calender I synchronize via
webdav. This works without any problems.
Now I have some Fedora Core 5 workstations and want to use the same
calender. But everytime I add a calender event, Thunderbird closes
without any logentry or error message.
Did anyone of you have the same problem? Is there a solution?
I sent this to the fedora list, because the problem just appears on
Fedora boxes.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Thomas

Strange kernel version
by John Wendel
After a yum update, I'm running kernel "2.6.16-1.2083_FC6". The "FC6"
looks a little strange. Is this really OK?

FC5: Can I change keyboard shortcut ...
by Pavel Lisy
in Evolution?
There was <Ctrl-`> shortcut for "Email preview" in previous version of
Evolution. It was good because it's possible press by one hand only.
Now it was changed to <Ctrl-M> and I am disappointed with it.
Is possible to change it?
It seems that it is disabled in Evolution.
