OT: Power Supplies
by RoboticGolem
Does everyone here agree that a 500watt power supply is sufficient
enough for a dual MP 1800 board with 4 hard disks, DVDrom, cdrw,
dvdrw, and plenty of self powered usb hubs? I'm trying to figure out
whats up with my computer and my next stop is to call an electrician.

firefox
by Thornton
Where does firefox keep its bookmarks? And is it possible to copy them
from my linux box to my windows box and have firefox on win2k use the
new bookmarks?
I am being forced to use win2k at the office for a project but need some
of my bookmarks moved over.
Thanks!

Problem with Crossover Office after kernel upgrade to FC5
by Mike C
With an up to date FC5 running in a 386 machine using the kernel from
the original distribution ( kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ) I was using
MS Word XP and MS Excel XP under Crossover Office from
codeweavers without problems.
Today after the upgrade to kernel kernel-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5, each time Word
or Excel loaded once the main window filled there was an error window
saying that the application had an error, and inviting via a checkbox
to save and restart.
This window re-appeared as soon as the application restarted, and the
application had to be killed.
Reverting to the original kernel allowed these applications to
run normally again.
Anyone else having these problems ?
I also put a ticket into the CXO site at
http://www.codeweavers.com/support/tickets/browse/?ticket_id=81133;list=6;

Problems with all linux distros with radeon dual head with xorg 6.9/7.0.
Not sure of other gfx boards. Advice on xorg list is to try nightly
DRI and radeon binary snapshots. See, for example:

Network Manager drops wireless connections
by Chris Jones
Hi,
I've been using networkmanager for a while now, and in general have found it
to work well. However, recently it seems to have developed a problem. When
running a wireless connection it drops the connection every now and then. I
can sometimes reconnect by just clicking on the desired network again, but
sometimes I have to restart NetworkManager itself.
System :-
FC4, fully updated
kernel 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4
wireless is ipw2100
The contents of messages, related to NetworkManager are pasted below.
Does anyone else get this ? Could it be related to the firmware I am using,
which was updated a short time ago ? - I am using the freshrpms package
ipw2100-firmware (1.3-2). Could it instead be related to my wireless router ?
As an aside, how can I tell what version of the ipw2100 module comes with my
kernel ?
thanks in advance
Chris

.xsession with gdm
by William Yardley
So I enabled GDM, rather than logging in from console (I'm using
Windowmaker as my window manager, and I'm not using the Gnome stuff at
all).
I had this in my .xinitrc and .xsession:
xset b off
xmodmap -e 'keycode 115 = Multi_key'
xscreensaver &
exec /usr/bin/wmaker
however gdm doesn't seem to follow this (I did manage to switch the
session to use windowmaker, but the screensaver doesn't seem to get
started, and remapping the windows key to multi_key doesn't seem to be
working anymore).
Any ideas? Should I just switch to xdm?

Change permissions on /dev file?
by Toralf Lund
How can I update permissions on a device file on an FC4 setup? I mean, I
know I can use chmod, of course, but the problem is that for /dev
special files, the changes are lost on reboot.
More specifically, I have a SCSI scanner, and I (obviously) want to
access it as a regular user, but by default /dev/sg* can be read and
written only by root. How do I change that? (And why don't devices like
this automatically get user accessible?)

newbie: howto install mplayer codecs
by Nat Gross
Hi;
I have read and reread.... all kinds of info on mplayer codecs.
Simple question(s).
1) WHERE do I install the codec(s)? Is it just a matter of a file copy?
2) WHICH codec do I need for wmv, avi, and mpeg files? (The mplayer
site lists all kinds of details on so many codecs! But no info for a
newbie.)
3) Do I *need* to involve Firefox in the mix?
This, on FC5 32-bit, 2ghz machine.
Thanks in advance.
