what happened to my drawing
by Howard Howell
HI, everyone,
I had a drawing I created in OO draw, and wanted to edit it. I opened
it, made the changes, then saved it. I was talking to my wife during
this process, and a message window came up saying that some bits might
not be saved in the PNG format. I clicked OK, and closed the
application after the save.
Later I came back to work on it, and the drawing had a size of 0. It
was gone. Now, I'm no artist, so it takes me a long time to generate a
drawing I can use for something, on the order of days. In this case I
lost a week or so's work. So I thought, maybe OO draw saved a temp
version. I thought I can just open OO draw and maybe recapture the
whole thing. However I cannot find Open Office draw either. I have
Calendar, Dia diagram editor, Invest Chart, J-Pilot, Presentation,
Project Management, Spreadsheet, Tasks, and Word Processing under the
Office menue of Applications. I already tried removing and
re-installing Open Office Draw using the Applications-add/remove
software tool, but no joy.
I am sure I have a copy on my backup, so I can recover the drawing, but
what gives with Open Office Draw? Am I the only one with this problem?
Where would I invoke OO draw directly?
Regards,
Les H

Mount option "relatime" doesn't work on kernel-2.6.23.1-21.fc7
by Georg Wittig
Hi,
kernel-2.6.23.1-21.fc7 doesn't boot when I use the mount option
"relatime" for the root filesystem in /etc/fstab. It complains
about an unknown mount option when trying to mount the root
filesystem. Finally booting stops with kernel panic.
kernel-2.6.23.1-10.fc7 works fine.

yum: How to downgrade openoffice 2.3 to 2.2.1?
by Rob
Hi,
With yum I recently upgraded to openoffice 2.3 from
version 2.2.1. This new version is a disaster (see below).
Can I downgrade back to 2.2.1 with yum?
Thanks,
Rob.
The problem with the new version of OOo:
I have large documents with lots of formulas.
Editing a single formula takes 20 to 30 seconds
to open the formula editor (with 2.2.1 this took
less than an eye blink).
Of course, openoffice is to blame here with this
miserable release. There is a fix upcoming but
that takes too long (probably mid December
avaliable).
My work depends on openoffice; hence I want to
downgrade back to 2.2.1.

fsck -c usage question
by Mark C. Allman
System: 2.6.22.9-91.fc7, Dell XPS M1710 laptop, 80GB HD, 2G ram
>From what I've read, it's a good idea to occasionally have fsck run when
you reboot a system. Also, I've had Fedora lock up a few times (over
the past year, BTW, so I'm not complaining!) such that I had to power
off and back on to restart.
What I do to have fsck run on startup:
1. Create /fsckoptions with the switches I want to supply to fsck
2. Run "shutdown -rF 0' to create /forcefsck and reboot.
Note: When fsck is finished after the reboot the /fsckoptions
and /forcefsck files are removed automatically.
In reading about scanning for bad blocks, the recommended way is to run
fsck with the -c switch. Since I hadn't checked for bad blocks before,
I decided last night to run that check as well. So I
created /fsckoptions with the one line of options I wanted fsck to use.
The options are "-p -c -V." BTW, I think the "-p" switch isn't
necessary (it's there on the fsck command line anyway) but it isn't a
problem to explicitly specify it.
What resulted is that, on restart, fsck ran the bad block check (or
appeared to), ran the several-step file system check, then printed two
or three lines and quickly rebooted. The first line looked something
like "************ LINUX REBOOT **************" from what I could catch.
The problem is that the /forcefsck and /fsckoptions files aren't removed
as they should be, so the reboot just starts the process all over again,
then again, and on and on.
So what am I missing? If I left something out in my description please
ask!

yum upgrade and selinux-policy-strict
by Bruno Wolff III
When doing a yum upgrade with selinux-policy-strict installed, the upgrade
failed on a dependency error.
I suspect this is because strict policy is being subsumed into targeted
policy in F8. In which case maybe selinux-policy-targeted should obsolete
selinux-policy-strict going forward in F8.
In my case I had strict, mls and targeted installed and am running targeted,
so I removed strict and mls and retried the upgrade and at least at first
glance it seems to have worked.
I doubt this will bite many other people, but I figured posting it to
fedora-list might make the issue more visible to peole who might have
the problem before they try a yum upgrade, rather than fedora-selinux-list
where they might look after having a problem.

Kernel snapshots and kernel versions
by Fernando Apesteguía
Hi all,
I this video:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1742374580386548257&q=andrew+mort...
Andrew Morton talks about some aspects of the linux kernel. Near the
end of the video, he talks about how to contribute and he says that
both Fedora and Open Suse provide -linus snapshots of the kernel.
I couldn't find this snapshots. Could any of you point me to the proper place?
My second question is: How far are the Fedora kernels from the
equivalent Vanilla ones? Andrew says it's okay to use Fedora/Open Suse
kernels to report problems. Does this means that these kernels are
very close to the vanilla version?
Thanks in advance

how fix lib when rpm verification fails? prelink?
by Dave Burns
rpm -VV mesa-libGL
prelink: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.#prelink#.OzfHpZ Could not trace symbol resolving
S.?..... /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
S means wrong size, ? means it could not be opened for verification.
The file exists and is owned by root, I ran rpm as root. So I am
confused. Has something to do with prelink?
ls -la /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 441920 Jan 24 2007 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
Do I need to kick prelink into action somehow? Or just find a copy of
the rpm and reinstall?
Thanks \

Problem updating OpenSSL
by Javier Perez
Hi
I am getting something weird when trying to update openssl. It is so
weird I do not know even how to google for it.
All the missing packages exist at /usr/lib64
How come yum does not find them?
Likewise, what is it with all those '2's

Re: Canoscan N640P in FC6
by Tom Horsley

http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON claims that the N640P
has good support under sane, so the theory is that it should work :-).
One thing I've noticed before with printer port devices is that there
are several different ways you can configure the printer port in the
system bios, and sometimes some configs work better than others.
