Hi, I am trying to use gnome-panel with fluxbox window manager, but some applets refuse to load. I am running gnome-settings-daemon on .xsession (after starting fluxbox), but still this is what happens when I try to load WorkspaceSwitcher: ** (gnome-panel:6087): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1287: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_WorkspaceSwitcherApplet: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applets/applet_35/prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=small;locked_down=false libnm_glib_nm_state_cb: dbus returned an error. (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files A similar problem happens if I try to load WindowList applet: ** (gnome-panel:6087): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1287: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_WindowListApplet: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applets/applet_36/prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=small;locked_down=false Anyone knows how I can workaround this?

Try converting your .vnc/xstartup to use exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.

Still can't get Java 1.6 to run applets?
by Knute Johnson 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

I still can't get Firefox to run Java applets. I've installed 1.6 and just the other day 1.6u1 and the JPackage parts but the applets do not run. They did work just fine with 1.5 however. If I look at about:plugins it shows 1.6.0_01-b06 installed and enabled. Nothing looks different than 1.5 but it doesn't work. Any body got any ideas where I can start to look? Thanks, -- Knute Johnson

rpm question
by Chu Jeang Tan 04 Apr '07

How to query for a list of packages that depended on a given package? I've used "rpm -q --whatrequires pkg" and it does not show my expected packages. Also, how to list a list of RPMs sorted by install date? -- Chu Jeang Tan chujtan(a)gmail.com

missing xorgcfg
by Frode Petersen 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi. I have a xorg config problem I'm trying to sort out. When I wanted to create a new xorg.conf from scratch, I discovered that xorgcfg and xorgconfig both were missing. Are these removed from the fedora x packages or do I have a faulty install? Which package should the files be in? Maybe you know of a template xorg.conf somewhere that has all the possible options listed? Btw, the things I need to sort out are what the files and modules sections can and/or (must{/, not}) contain for ordinary and fglrx drivers. Regards, Frode

loading modules in Fedora 6
by Al Graziano 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello, can anybody point me to some reading to better understand how Fedora loads modules, in which order and from which directories etc., especially with regards to Fedora 6. I've read a lot around but nothing that gives me a firm idea I am trying to understand how I can install certain modules at boot up and conversely how I can change a module from being installed automatically to manually using modprobe. In order to do that I need to know more about modules that installed at bootup Thanks in advance Al

querying rpm database for installed packages signed with specific gpg key or from specific vendor?
by Gabriel M. Elder 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Anybody know of a way, using package management tools (or otherwise), to query an rpm database for a list of all installed packages from a specified vendor and/or matching a given gpg key? For instance, i want a list of all freshrpms packages that i currently have installed. I figure the simplest way to find out is to (politely) ask the rpm database for a list of all installed packages from this vendor, and/or signed with that gpg key. I just looked at the man pages for yum and rpm; either i'm missing something, or they currently don't have a facility for doing this. Does apt or smart provide this capability? Should this be a bugzilla RFE feature request for yum or rpm? - gabriel
