User Switch Applet Config
by Brian C. Huffman
There used to be a config option so that you could select what the
applet showed on the menu bar. I can't find any "preferences" or config
now and when it shows a full name, it takes up a lot of real estate. Is
there some config option in gconf or somewhere else obscure?
Thanks,
Brian

Graphical windows auto-maximizing - annoying
by Todd N
Hello,
In F9, graphical windows in GNOME are exhibiting some bizarre, or at least unexpected, behavior. When a window is dragged across the screen, it automatically maximizes itself when its title bar nears the top of the display. Is this an intentional "enhancement" to window behavior, or is it some sort of bug? If not a bug, then is there a way to disable this feature? We did notice that if you hold down the mouse button for a few seconds before beginning to drag the window, the auto-maximize does not happen. However, this is an extra thing to have to remember.
Any thoughts/solutions?
Thanks,
Todd

kgpg handles all that seamlessly. I have several people on my keyring that
have more than one key.
It's also possible to have one key for several addresses, as I do. For those
that use kgpg, just take a look at my key. It lists several addresses and is
signed by a number of people - yes, they did see my passport :-). Similarly,
gpg --list-keys 1E1C9C17
shows all the identities that my key can be used for.

Hi,
After upgrading my HP-laptop to F9 the x-server doen't start.
When I type "startx" this error is being displayed:
"...
(EE) Failed to load module "record" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:

The video.xdriver is described as: Intel Corporation Mobile

I don't understand this message. I would appreciate if someone could
help me.

Has OpenBSD's spamd been ported to Linux?
by Raymond C. Rodgers
While I know there are lots of anti-spam utilities out there, I've found
OpenBSD's spamd (spam deferral daemon) to be quite useful, and now that
I'm managing the Linux servers for my company and the amount of spam and
bounce-back spam we've received today, I thought I'd inquire as to
whether or not it had been ported to Linux.
Does anyone know if it has been, and if it has, where I might find it?
Thank you,
Raymond

kdemultimedia-extras
by Patrick O'Callaghan
yum can't seem to find kdemultimedia-extras in the Fedora repo, nor in
Livna. Ditto for kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree.
Has anyone seen them, or have they been removed or replaced for F9?

fedora 9: pam_ssh and pam_keyring ?
by David Jansen
I used to use pam_ssh and pam_keyring to unlock ssh keys and the gnome
keyring when logging in, both having the same password as my login password.
However, in fedora 9, this doesn't seem to work, I am still prompted for
a password the first time I use ssh and the first time some program
wants to access the keyring.
Might this be a side effect of the completely new (and seemingly
unfinished, uncustomizable and undocumentend) new gdm? Or is there
something else I am missing here.
Here is the contents of my /etc/pam.d/gdm which si almost the same as
what I had working on fedora 7:
#%PAM-1.0
auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so
auth required pam_env.so
auth substack system-auth
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
auth optional pam_ssh.so try_first_pass
account required pam_nologin.so
account include system-auth
password include system-auth
session required pam_selinux.so close
session required pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_console.so
session required pam_selinux.so open
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session required pam_namespace.so
session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
session optional pam_keyring.so
session optional pam_ssh.so
session include system-auth
I also noticed there is a new pam_gnome-Keyring, but I haven't had any
luck with that one either.

Re: verifying iso images downloaded by jigdo during installation [SOLVED]
by Mohammed El-Afifi
Thank you all for your suggestions. Kanarip, the person in charge of producing re-spins in fedoraunity, has responded to my request and has posted a page on the fedoraunity site containing SHA1SUM calculated for all fedora 9 everything re-spins. The page URL is http://us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?sysreq=ignore, just in case anyone needs it.
Thanks again for your active feedback.

Subject: Re: verifying iso images downloaded by jigdo during installation
The problem is that there's no single site the iso is downloaded from. Jigdo works by downloading single package files from several sites(mirrors) and then accumulating them into a single iso file. I downloaded the jigdo file(the file containing information about the iso images) form the fedoraunity website, however there were no SHA1SUM for these ISO images at that site.
I posted a request on the fedoraunity site so that they may publish the SHA1SUM for these images. If anyone knows where such SHA1SUM files for these images may exist, it would be greatly helpful.
If anyone also has downloaded DVD 2 of that re-spin, he/she may try to test it against the verification step in the installation process. You don't have to perform a real installation to verify the media, just boot a computer and wait till you get into the verification step. If it passes, please calculate the SHA1SUM for the image and post it.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I may have to re-download the the suspected iso image again, which may take a few other days.

You can verify using the sha1 text file provided at the download site:
sha1sum file.iso | grep -f sha1.txt.
You should be able to see sha1sum signature after this operation. If a blank line is retuned, means your download image is bad. The above operation takes a long time depending on your system's speed.

2008/5/28 Mohammed El-Afifi <mohammed_elafifi(a)yahoo.com>:
I'm downloading the DVD iso images for fedora 9 everything 64-bit using jigdo. This spin comes in 4 DVD's. I've finished downloading the first two DVD iso images completely. I then tried to install fedora 9 and booted my computer using the first DVD.
Before starting anakonda installer, I've the chance of verifying the installation media. When I was prompted for verification, I chose to verify the two DVD's I've till now. Actually, this was the sole purpose of running the installation DVD, to verify the images I downloaded so far.
Everything went all right with DVD 1, however DVD 2 was reported to have errors. I tried to verify DVD 2 using jigdo-file and the template file for DVD 2, and jigdo-file reported that the image is good.
The problem can't even be with my DVD burner, because I haven't burned the images yet. I used VMWare instead to boot a 64-bit virtual machine using the iso files.
So now DVD 2 is reported to have errors by the verification step in the installation process, while jigdo-file reports no errors about the image.
Are all the installation media of the everything spin of fedora 9 64-bit guaranteed to pass the verification process during installation or just the first DVD(probably because it may match the official distribution fedora 9 64-bit DVD while the other DVD's aren't part of the official distribution)? Is there a method to verify the image externally(with a third tool for example) to settle if it's good or not?
Appreciating your help.
