F9: Desktop Effect and Compiz: How to manually disable it?
by Dan Thurman 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

I have enabled 'Desktop Effects' (Compiz) and tried it out and it looks pretty cool. I was able to logout and log back in, everything is fine. Next, I used the Compiz Configuration Tool (cscm), added a few more "bells and whistles", and I did not get any immediate changes after closing the cscm dialog window. But I was curious about emerald, so I used the command-line command for emerald and cool - I had emerald window wraps! Then I logged off and logged back in - and got the dreaded windows white screen of death! Rats. There was no windows cursors and nothing seemed to work (mouse clicks and random keystrokes) until I hit ALT-S - and the mouse cursor popped in - but still, the screen stayed white. I hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and the window logged out and the GUI login screen appeared. Next, I logged in as a different user that did not have desktop effects (Compiz) enabled, so everything was fine. My question is, is there a command-line command or can I manually disable Desktop-Effects (Compiz) for that user where it failed (since obviously I cannot use the the user's desktop window to disable desktop-effects)? I would like to restore this user (it is not mine!) to a sane state and try a temporary user to resolve this problem for later. I searched everywhere for a solution and even posted my problem on Compiz's Forum waiting for a resolution, but I wanted to post this specific request here seeking the answer to manually disable the desktop-effects. Thanks! Dan

fdisk and labels
by Trapper 21 Oct '08

Somewhere along the line I saw a small script that provides a display of label information as a part of "fdisk -l" results. My searches have proved fruitless. Anyone recall such a script?

Kate's terminal emulator freezes up
by Aldo Foot 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Kate's embedded terminal is helpful when writing programs. It works well as long as it's located at the Lower Sidebar. The terminal freezes up if it's moved to the left, right or upper sidebar. Is this a Kate bug? I'm running Fedora 8. Does this happen in the more recent Fedora releases?

MYSQL setup
by woodson2 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Hello, I'm trying to connnect and configure the root password for mysql after a fresh install. I've done the following 1. yum install mysql-server mysql-administrator mysql mysql-gui-common php-mysql 2. service mysqld start At this point from what I understand, the root mysql account should have no password set so I can either A. connect to the database with mysql -u root. with this I'm getting the following error. ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) or I can set the root password with B. mysqladmin -u root password 'newpassword' which yields the same error. I've searched tirlessly to resolve this on my own but everything I read says this only happens if you have set a password for root which I haven't done. Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/MYSQL-setup-tp20076569p20076569.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Wikimedia Ubuntu migration FAQ
by Arthur Pemberton 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Wikimedia Ubuntu migration FAQ : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ubuntu_migration_FAQ While these guys are free to choose whatever distro they want, I find that they are seriously dragging the names of Fedora, RedHat and Centos through the mud along the way. Especially considering that by their own admissions, they were running very dated versions of these distros. Is this at all a concern for Fedora Marketing or FESCO? -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com )

Case of the disappearing flash-plugin symlink
by Arthur Pemberton 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

It seems like every boot/reboot, the flash-plugin symlink created by the post-install script of the flash-plugin RPM gets deleted. This of course leads to flash not working in Firefox. The laziest fix is to `yum -y reinstall flash-plugin`. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I know for sure that SELinux is enabled on this machine, but I have no reason yet to suspect it. -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com )
