Evolution and F10
by ed 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

I upgraded from F9 to F10 without problems. However, Evolution's behavior has changed. In F9, I could view all my unread messages in the Unread folder and when finished reading them, I could either hit Cntrl-E or navigate to a different folder. Once I navigated back to the Unread folder, all the messages would be gone. In F10, as soon as the message is read, it disappears into it's respective folder and I loose the preview. Is this a bug or a new feature? I disabled allowing messages to be marked read after N seconds, but that is not a long term solution... Thanks - Ed Gurski Linux User # 458454 http://counter.li.org

IBM 19K5544 Intel Pro/100 Ethernet Adapter
by Tod Thomas 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

I have two of these (PCI) network cards, they seem pretty nice. I'm not sure where I got them but I was wondering if they should work with Fedora? I plugged one in but lspci doesn't see it and trying to find it in dmesg failed. Just trying to avoid going out and buying new cards for an old machine I'm trying to get up and running. I have a feeling they are IBM OEM and won't work with Linux but thought I'd check before tossing them. Thanks - Tod

F10: too many Network headaches
by Andre Costa 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi, I just installed F10 on my system (replacing -- not upgrading -- a previous F9 installation). In general, installation went by just fine. However, setting up my network has been unbelievably hard. I have a DI-624 router, and I am using static IP (I turned its DHCP server off because it was rebooting when my wife's MacBook Pro connected). This setup has worked flawlessly with F9 and even F8. First weird symptom: NetworkManager refuses to allow me to edit settings for eth0. It doesn't ask me for any kind of authentication and simply shows all fields disabled. I don't know why it started doing this, because right after I booted for the first time I was able to edit it. Later on I disabled SELinux, don't know if this is related somehow. This is specially annoying because I can't configure DNS servers this way, and must always edit /etc/resolv.conf manually. Second weird symptom: System > Administration > Network Device Control didn't show any interfaces I could manage (maybe this is the correct behavior when NetworkManger is in charge, I don't know...) So, I turned NM off and switched back to plain system-config-network (which I'd rather not do, since I need to use NetworkManager every now and then to manage a GSM modem). To my surprise, even though I try to set my subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, it was setting it to my IP address (192.168.0.100), or sometimes to my gateway address (192.168.0.1). I had to manually go through the files at /etc/sysconfig/network/ to fix this. Also, s-c-n allowed me to create a copy of eth0 profile, but didn't allow me to remove it (had to do it manually as well). Right now everything is working just fine I guess, but if I reenable NM it screws things up again. AFAICS I'm probably experiencing many bugs at once (NM and s-c-n). Anyone experienced anything like this? Should I start filing bug reports? Regards, Andre

Googleearth won't run on F10
by Mike Faire 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

I downloaded Google Earth 4.3 and the install seemed to run without hitch. When I try to run googleearth the xterm displays the following error message; ./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: ./libminizip.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied And then an icon pops up with SE Linux reporting that it has blocked a program. Is SE linux preventing google earth from running? How do I tell SE Linux to get the heck out of the way? TIA Mike

gscpa_ov519 flaky in F10
by William John Murray 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hello all, I have a camera served by the rastageeks ov51x_jpeg driver. With the advent of 2.6.27 kernels the gspca_ov519 which is in the system now gets in first. Its a great driver, with cheese or mplayer, but does not work with evo or kopete, the packages I want. So I want to re-enable ov51x_jpeg. I blacklist gspca_ov519, fine. But the device /dev/video0 is enabled with root root crw-rw---- permission, which means I cannot use it :( I can chown /dev/video each time, but I wanted to do it once-and-for-all. However, even if I create it in /etc/rc.local it is overwritten when I plug in the cam. Can anyone suggest what I should do? Thank you so much!

Fedora 10, openjdk and BlueJ
by Frank Murphy 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Can I get all 3 to play nice, if so how. When I try /usr/bin/java -jar bluej-250.jar and the BlueJ winow pops up. I browse to /usr/lib/jvm/ BlueJ, tell me I need to use the java jdk which contains tools.jar Openjdk doesn't seem to have this. Before I trawl sun.com, should I report this as a bug? Is tools.jar allowed in openjdk? Frank -- gpg id EB547226 Revoked Forgot Password :( aMSN: Frankly3D http://www.frankly3d.com

Gnome Sessions Preferences - Remember Currently Running Applications - Work?
by Allen Halsey 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

On Fedora 10, I was trying to find a way to get gnome to automatically start my usual applications, and figured System > Preferences > Personal > Sessions > Options would be a good place to start. I launched my applications, placed then on different workspaces and sized them according to my wishes, and then click the "Remember Currently Running Applications" button. Logged out. Logged backed in and ... none of the apps started. Does this feature work for anyone else? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Gnome-Sessions-Preferences---Remember-Currently-Runnin… Sent from the fedora mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
