Can't getCorrect Time in Fedora 8
by Jim
Fedora 8 won't keep correct time.
"Unable to connect to time server" , it doesn' make any difference what
time server you try to connect to.
"ntpd" is running in services.

The problems with pymol crashing under Fedora 10
using the radeon drivers appear to be resolved now
(at least in fedora-testing). FYI.

I plan on using an non-standard port, but what else can I do?

fedora login window
by Rafnews
Hi,
is there a way to have the fedora 10 KDE login window on the standard fedora
10 (with KDE) ?
i find the KDE login nicer than the standard GNOME login window.
thanks a lot.

Applications tab in KDE
by Rafnews
Hi,
I was successful to install KDE on F10 and to use this wonderfull
environment.
However, i tried to install PostgreSQL from official Add/Remove Software
application (server + client) but after clicking on Apply, F10 downloaded
some packages and nothing more was done.
i was looking for if F10 installed those packages as normally a
/var/lib/pgsql/postgresql.conf file has to be created but nothing as such
and nothing also somewhere else (i tried find / -name 'postgresql.conf' as
root.
1. how is it possible ? the packages are not installed automatically ?
2. how can i checked if such package is correctly installed ?
after that, i decided to download it by myself in tmp folder and i installed
it.
first of all, this bin file installs by default under /opt/postgresql/8.3/
...
but my main issue is the following. after installation F10 has created a
tab/folder (PostgreSQL 8.3), under Application menu.
3. how can i create my own tab/folder for hosting programs ?
4. how can i move the postgreSQL 8.3 program files/folder/tab from
application menu to my new tab/folder from point 3 ?
thanks a lot,

backup of my / filesystem
by Kevin Kempter
I'm looking for a clean way to backup my laptop in part so before I apply any
updates I have a clean backup to revert to if needed.
I have a / and /home filesystems in order to backup before I run a set of
updates from yum I suspect I need to backup / separately this way I dont need
to restore my 22Gig of documents in /home if an update breaks something.
In the past I've gone onto single user mode and used dd to backup my HD
I wonder if running tar with the proper flags to ensure the following would be
as effective
1) restrict tar to the current(/) filesystem (i.e. disallow it from going off
into /home)
2) ensure that tat picks up all the dot files
2 questions:
1) is the above tar scenario sufficient to protect me from yum update changes?
2) anyone have suggestions per specific tar commands that will do the
operations specified above?
Thanks in advance

I'm curious as to whether that's a blanket effect against all Fedora 8
bugs, or takes into account bugs that also affect later versions.
e.g. The bug gets reported against 8, but some of the addendums people
attach include 9 or 10.
