How to resize disk in fedora?
by barba Fisko
I installed some time ago Fedora 9, to try linux.
When i was installing i set 50 gb of my disk space for fedora 9.
Now i would like to reduce that size to some 20gb, because i don't need so
much space on linux, and i need much more space on my windows partition.
How to do that?

And there is also a pcHDTV-3000 which has a connexant audio but its obviously
a mic level output, and since tvtime doesn't work on the video card
associated with the last device listed above, the point is moot till it does
work.
The first device above I have not been able to get a peep out of, so I've made
the second one, the Audigy2, the default. And I have NDI where to plug
anything that looks like audio into that ATI based HD-2400-Pro video card,
but lspci says its there.
Testing the sound for the audigy2 in system-config-soundcard works, but places
like utube are silent. As is cnn et all since the last reboot.
2 questions:
do we have a 'vu meter' that can be switched to monitor the various audio
inputs?
And when I had to reinstall, I see that pulseaudio was installed, and a now
frozen 'lsof|grep audio' returns this, but has not returned a prompt.
[root@coyote cards]# lsof |grep audio
pulseaudi 3473 root txt REG 8,3 57972
53801556 /usr/bin/pulseaudio
artsd 3528 root mem REG 8,3 96380
53795593 /usr/lib/libaudio.so.2.4
artsd 3528 root mem REG 8,3 171580
5603705 /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0.0.2
Is this yet another case where I need to remove as much PA as I can in order
to get working sound again, or is there a configurator for this PITA that
might be able to fix this? The silence here is deafening.
Thanks.

F10: The good and the bad
by lanas
Hi all,
Last time when F9 was made available, I wrote a good/bad article that
was mostly bad and ended up 'upgrading' my main workstation to F8.
This time around, being forwarned, I did not install enthusiastically
F10 on the main workstation. I tried it in VmWare first, then
installed it on a spare WS, 32-bit version.
Well, it's much better now, to the point that I won't take it off the
workstation. But there are some annoying things, which are not major.
- Konsole: cannot seemingly disable the menu bar, as in previous
versions. Everything else can be disabled, and saved as such, but not
the menu bar. If you remove it and open another tab, then it
re-appears.
- Konqueror: stupid bug that does not work with clusty.com. Now, I
may be part of the weirdo club you know, the ones who are using
Konqueror, a lot of Konsoles, and not Google but Clusty. Well, try
this: do a search using clusty.com, go to the bottom of the page and
press next. The search criteria vanishes. Use Firefox: it works. Use
Konqueror in F8: it works. Stupid bug. I hope it does not have more
impacts.
- gkrell: no gkrell ?
- Two other bugs, not seen twice so far:
- Suddenly the session locks up, blanking the screen and asking for
a password. No keyboard input possible. Had to power-cycle the
machine. Hopefully this will not happen again.
- The auto upgrade app: at 40%, asks for trusting a key, answer is
yes, enter password, and then no more downloads, ever. No way out, had
to kill the process.
On the down side in general, home-wise, I don't think I will switch
from Fedora 6 yet as far as music recording (jack, Ardour, Seq24,
Zynaddsubfx, jamin, etc...) as I do not have the impression
All in all a great release. Transpareny is nice, but don't try it in
VmWare: crash. Also, the font misadjustments seen in VmWare are not
found when doing a real install. Undoubtly a video settings query
thing.
I think I was right with the even numbers. I have good experiences
with 6,8, and now 10. Bad with 7 and 9. Before you ask, I won't try
13 ;-)
Cheers.

F10 hard lock issue
by Richard Shaw
I just upgraded my wife's laptop to F10 from F9 using preupgrade.
other than not having enough free space (had to make some) the install
went perfectly. Now I'm having a lockup issue.
When it first starts everything hard locks. Then I hear the DvD head
moving, some time later I can turn the caps lock on and off but there
is a significant delay. Also, the mouse cursor works but nothing else
does. I can't do Ctl-Alt-Backspace or get to any of the virtual
terminals. Scanning through /var/log/messages I don't see anything
useful. Any ideas on where to start? This thing was rock solid under
F9.
Compaq laptop Turion 64 1.8GHz w/ Radeon 200M chipset. 1GB system ram.

using local imap as proxy
by Christoph Höger
Hi folks,
because of the sluggish performance and poor QoS of my current
university's imap server, I thought of using some kind of proxy.
That means, I would like to install a daemon that does two things:
1. sync local data with the remote imap account
2. sync local changes back to the remote account
So a solution like fetchmail does not fit, I would rather like to use a
leightweight imap server locally that does nothing but keeping in sync
with the remote host. offlineimap seems to be a solution, but it only
seems to work once on invokation, I need a daemon running and
permanently syncing all folders, as I sometime switch workplaces fast.
Can e.g. cyrus do that? Any IMAP server?

Webcam Issues on F10
by Richard Heck
This kind of issue seems to have been reported in other places, but I
thought I'd try here as well in case anyone had some ideas.
I have an HP webcam that works perfectly in F8. On installing F10,
however, it has completely stopped working. I see similar problems in
cheese, skype, kopete, and even uvccapture. When a program tries to
access the cam, I get errors like:
uvcvideo: Failed to query (1) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : -110 (exp. 26).
And other similar things, depending upon the exact program. Kopete is
the worst offender: It freezes and then crashes when you try to open
Preferences.
I've tried fiddling with the permissions on /dev/video0, but to no avail.
