Splash Screen
by tony.chamberlain＠lemko.com
I really want to do this for KDE and Gnome, but first I am trying with KDE.
I took a splash screen and am trying to modify it. The one with the pictures
of things like the keyboard, a blue folder, the tools (settings), etc, which flicker
or darken as things get installed (e.g. the tools icon gets darker and blinks as
advanced settings are coming up, etc).
I noticed there is a splash_active_bar.png and a splash_inactive_bar.png.
>From what I can tell, at the beginning of system init, the entire splash_inactive_bar is
displayed, and then as a percentage of the system is up, part of the inactive bar is
replaced by part of the active bar, until the system is 100% up, and none of the
inactive_bar is displayed and all of the active is.
I tried replacing some of the icons with letters to spell a word, and made the backgrounds
different colors (inactive is light, and active is darker) and spread these letters out
the same way that the icons work.
Well, when the system comes up it seems to be working right, but part of the letters will be
darkened, and part not. And the inactive bar never seems to be completely replaced by
the active bar.
So maybe I don't understand it quite right. Has anyone had experience?

F7 update problem
by Andras Simon
While trying to yum update this morning, I got
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/include/popt.h from install of popt-1.10.2.1-1.fc7
conflicts with file from package popt-1.10.2-46.fc7
Apparently, yum is trying to update popt-1.10.2-46.fc7 with
popt-1.10.2.1-1.fc7, which looks strange to me.

Problem updating rpmdevtools
by Fernando Apesteguía
Hi list,
I run an update today. The list of available packages included
rpmdevtools. The problem is that the transaction test failed with:
file /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths-worker from install of
rpm-build-4.4.2.1-1.fc6 conflicts with file from package
rpmdevtools-5.3-1.fc6
I use my system to create some .rpm packages so I aborted the install
to avoid system breaking. Anybody with the same problem? Should I
force the update?
I'm running FC6
Thanks in advance

Mantis package bombs
by Charles Curley
I just installed mantis (mantis-1.0.8-1.fc7.noarch et al.). I turned
my browser to http://localhost/mantis/ and got:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /mantis/ on this server.
Apache/2.2.4 (Fedora) Server at localhost Port 80
And similarly for http://localhost/mantis.
So I go look at the configuration file, and it says to read a file
called README.Fedora. When I finally tracked that down, it said to
point your browser at https://localhost/mantis/admin/install.php. I
did so. After some gabble about certificates, I got:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /mantis/admin/install.php on this server.
Apache/2.2.4 (Fedora) Server at localhost Port 443
Now what?

How to configure sshfs ?
by Paul Johnson
I just learned that fuse-ssh allows one to mount drives via ssh. How
cool! As root, it works fine.
When regular users try it, it fails because they don't have permission
to /dev/fuse.
One option is to add users one by one to the fuse group in /etc/group.
But I don't have time to do that, and there are hundreds of users.
Can you tell me a way to allow all users who sit at the console to use
sshfs mounts? I tried to add the group user to the group fuse, but
got plenty of errors with that one. Maybe there is some hal or udev
thing you can tell me to do?

FC6 Nautilus CD/DVD creator problem
by Paul Erickson
I am having trouble with the Nautilus CD/DVD creator on one of my FC6
boxes. When I put a blank
disk in the HP 8100, the CD/DVD creator window comes up, but when I try
to write the files to the
disk, I keep getting an "Insert a writable or blank disc" message. No
matter how many times I click the
"OK" the message keeps coming back. I know the hardware is ok, because
K3B works fine.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
