Git vs. Subversion. Which one?
by Armin 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

So I wanted to know about the public opinions on which one is better, Git or Subversion as versioning control system (VCS?). If you can, please come up with some reasons too! Like what benefits do you think your preferred one has that the other one doesn't offer! answers are very much appreciated :) -- Armin feng.shaun(a)gmail.com "Dare to Dream?"

A couple kvm questions.
by Gilboa Davara 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hello all, I thinking about dropping vmware server and replacing it with KVM. (I'm using brand new AMD Opterons and Intel Xeon so kvm_intel and kvm_amd should be supported) I'll be virtualizing Linux (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS), Windows (XP, 2K3, 2K8) and FBSD. I've got a couple of questions: (I've google for most of them but couldn't really find a satisfying answer) A. I already converted my VM's to qemu (using qemu-img) and they are working OK (minus networking). How can I import these qemu raw images into virt-manager? B. I require bridged networking on all my VMs. I already did the manual job (as in creating ifcfg-br? for each ifcfg-eth? and creating the bridge); never the less, what am I missing is: 1. Do you need to create a different tun/tap device node for each VM? 2. Any method to automate the tun/tap device node creation (and ownership) under Fedora? C. Has anyone managed to get widescreen support under qemu/qemu-kvm? - Gilboa

compiz with OpenGL video solution
by David Hláčik 01 Oct '08

Hello guys, are there any news around making compiz work correctly with OpenGL or others video outputs? Currently only X11 video works for me, as all others are blinking. I have Fedora 9 i386 with latest updates and ATI driver from livna. Is this fixed in compiz in Fedora 10? or in rawhide? Thanks for pointing me on solution. Regards, David

Finding a Font to Support a Unicode Block (X11)
by Michael Rohan 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hi Folks, Just posted this to comp.fonts, but figured I should try here also. Not sure if this is the correct group, but I have code that generated Unicode strings displayed via Java on X Windows. The strings include characters from the Enclosed Alphanumerics Unicode block. On one Linux system (where I've installed every font package I could find), the strings display as expected. On another Linux (default) system, they display as little squares, i.e., missing. Is there a way to directly identify the font needed to support a particular Unicode block? Take care, Michael.

Option Globetrotter HSDPA Modem
by mike bjork 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hello :) Love Fedora Linux but unfortunately forced back to XP because the company who created my usb-modem (Option Globetrotter HSDPA Modem) are Microsoft engvalist's (hope spell right :) and only support Windows (and perhaps Mac). I tested tips from PHARscape and usb_modeswitch from Draisberghof, still my usb modem are recognize as a usb stick and even a CD-reader!!!! I use the latest kernel! Someone who know this problem or do I have to write my one driver for this (*#! :(,,,, self-censorship) modem!!! Keep up the good work with Fedora and other Linux distributions :) Mvh Mike! _________________________________________________________________

Greater than 2TB disks bootable?
by Phil Meyer 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

There is a lot of confusion available from articles on the Internet about whether or not a greater than 2TB disk can be made bootable in Linux. In order to go that large, the disk must be labelled, via partd, as type GPT. Ok so far. Now, is it possible to use fdisk to cut off 100MB or so for a normal /boot partition? It seems that labelling a disk as GPT does not stomp the MBR, but does affect the partition table. Is this correct? If I create a 100MB partition using fdisk, and then label the disk as GPT, can I start the large partition with the first cylinder > than what I cut off for /boot and expect it to be seen? Anaconda complains that GPT is not bootable. Is that system specific, BIOS specific, anaconda error reading the BIOS, ??? Here is the specific scenario: An intel based server, with 10 1TB drives attached to a SATA RAID device. The RAID is level 5 with 9 drives and a hot spare. What the system sees, is one device of ~8TB. Is it possible to boot from the device, AND have all but /boot as one large partition? Thanks!
