KDE freezes after switching to text terminal and back to KDE
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

People, In F10, if I log in to KDE, switch to a text console (CTRL+ALT+F2) and then back to KDE, the system switches to graphic mode and freezes. The screen stays black and the graphical mouse pointer is shown. Sometimes the pointer freezes too, sometimes not. In either case, I have to reset the computer. It's not even possible to switch back to a text terminal. This do not happen if I switch to a text terminal from the gdm login screen or from a gnome session. However, the system freezes 100% of the times I do this when logged in to KDE. Any one else has this problem? For which component should I file a bug in bugzilla? []'s Marcelo

F10: Lots of "issues"... Evolution, Synaptic (touch pad), Plasma (folder view)...
by linux guy 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I installed F10 this afternoon as an upgrade from F8 using preupgrade. That process went well. I ran the F10 KDE Live all morning. I didn't encounter any problems with it, but I have lots of issues with F10 now that I have it installed. Here is a list of the problems I am having: 1) Evolution is asking for the passwords for all my mail accounts every time I start it. HUGE PAIN. BTW: Evolution uses a new db. It took longer to re index my emails than it did to install F10 ! 2) No spell checking in Evolution. Rather spell checking is marking every word as mis spelled. Every word I am typing in this post is underlined in red. 3) The synaptic touch pad configuration tool I had installed in F8 doesn't work in F10. I can't turn the touchpad off on my laptop and every time I brush my sleeve over it, the cursor moves when I don't want it to. 4) Folder view is crashing/freezing my computer and I am getting Plasma errors. Something is messed up. 5) Neither Konqueror nor Firefox nor Opera will view a youtube video due to complaints about needing to install the latest flash plugin. And I already have. Firefox works once in a while. 6) Ark won't extract a single file from an archive. All this and I've only been using F10 for a couple hours.

Fedora home server using core 9
by Darren Foster 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi there, I'm relatively new to the forum. I have used fedora core 6-7-8 just in a Desktop environment not really having anything technical to do with it. So currently i am downloading fedora core 9 and want to use this as my home server to store all of my music and data on. Eventually i want to be able to run a blog from it and setup a mail server to work from this one box. So what i am asking is if anyone knows of any good walkthroughs for setting any of these up? Regards, Darren Foster

Uninstall
by mike 07 Dec '08

07 Dec '08

Is there a way to just flat uninstall FC 8. I need to make a workstation match a customer configuration. They use Ubuntu, which has the worst Installation program I have ever seen. Thus I need to uninstall FC 8 to create open space. Partion Magic from the XP partition craps the basket and claims it cannot even find the drive letter. I really would hate to buy a new machine just to match the customer configuration. Any help is appreciated.

Sending syslog to another machine
by Timothy Murphy 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Could some kind soul please tell me how exactly one can send syslog to another machine. Am I right in deducing that syslog has been replaced by rsyslog? If so, I do not understand the instructions at the end of /etc/rsyslog.conf , which I assume are intended for remote logging: --------------------------------------------------- # ### begin forwarding rule ### # The statement between the begin ... end define a SINGLE forwarding # rule. They belong together, do NOT split them. If you create multiple # forwarding rules, duplicate the whole block! # Remote Logging (we use TCP for reliable delivery) # # An on-disk queue is created for this action. If the remote host is # down, messages are spooled to disk and sent when it is up again. #$WorkDirectory /var/spppl/rsyslog # where to place spool files #$ActionQueueFileName fwdRule1 # unique name prefix for spool files #$ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g # 1gb space limit (use as much as possible) #$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save messages to disk on shutdown #$ActionQueueType LinkedList # run asynchronously #$ActionResumeRetryCount -1 # infinite retries if host is down # remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional #*.* @@remote-host:514 # ### end of the forwarding rule ### --------------------------------------------------- I looked briefly at /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-3.21.3/ but there are 90 html files there none of which seemed very likely to hold the required information. I did not understand the README in this directory: --------------------------------------------------- This file has been superseeded by the fils in the doc folder. Please see doc/manual.html for futher details. If you are looking for install information doc/install.html is for you! If you do not have the doc set, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc --------------------------------------------------- Where exactly is the doc folder? I notice that there is no man entry for rsyslog but there are man entries for syslog and rsyslog.conf . I am very confused ...

Mirroring Fedora
by thomas cameron 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Howdy - I mirror Fedora 10 to my home server, and it eats up a *lot* of space. It's not a big deal, I've got 500GiB drives in my file server but I'm interested in keeping it as small as possible. Currently I use these commands in a script in cron.daily to mirror: echo Fedora 10 Updates echo rsync -va --exclude=debug --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after \ rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/10/i386 \ /var/www/html/pub/fedora/updates/10/i386/ echo Fedora 10 Updates echo until rsync -va --exclude=debug --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after \ rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/10/x86_64/ \ /var/www/html/pub/fedora/updates/10/x86_64/ The thing is, F10 is taking up like 50GiB of disk space between the install media, Everything and updates. I know that there are a ton of duplicate files between the i386 and the x86_64 directories. Is there an easy way to do something like hard link duplicate files or maybe a better way to rsync so that duplicate files are considered? Thanks! Thomas

Fedora 10 on Asus eee 701 feedback
by Valent Turkovic 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

I would just to drop a few comments on using Fedora 10 on my little Asus 701. I'm impressed how well installation went and how it work nice in fullscreen on eee's small 7" screen. After installing I had issues with wireless and webcam. I can start cheese and I can see the led turn on but I don't see anything in cheese window. Wireless worked out-of-the-box with new ath5k module and I could see all networks and connected to my WPA network but I can't surf web sites :( I tried pinging my adls router and I get a lot of drop packages and ping times over 2000ms :( After compiling madwifi-hal and blacklisting ath5k wireless started working perfectly. I also tried "Connection sharing" with eee conected through wire and created a new wireless connection for others to connect to. I tried with one client to connect to asus eee AP but it also got a lot of dropped packages :( I posted a bug for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473576 Are there any asus eee users that have similar experience? Any tips/tricks for us eee users?

Plasma crashes if I add a Folder View ?
by linux guy 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

I am running a desktop with zero folder view widgets. If I right click and add a FV widget, my system almost freezes up. I just tried to add a folder view and I lost one of my panels and messed up the other one pretty bad in the process. Anyone else having this problem ? Thanks
