F9 Login theme
by Brian C. Huffman 27 May '08

27 May '08

Does anyone know how to change the login theme for F9? It's extremely bland by default (not to mention that even though I changed my user icon in the personal preferences it doesn't show up that way in the greeter). I downloaded the fedorainfinity theme for gdm, but I don't see how to make it take effect. Thanks, Brian

Package naming convention question
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage 27 May '08

27 May '08

Why do we continue to see "fc9" and "fc10" in package names? I thought "Core" was deprecated in Fedora 8 and gone with the integration of 'Extras' et al into Fedora 9's 'Everything'. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL

about gok on fedora 8
by hicham 27 May '08

27 May '08

hello on previous fedora release, I was able to bring up the on screen keyboard, now in f8, I can't get the visual keyboard when clicking on the "compose" button and I get a windows with this message : "The device you are using to control GOK is also controlling the system pointer. To avoid conflict with applications' use of the pointer, GOK will now disconnect the device you are using from the system pointer for the duration of your GOK session. Alternatively, you may configure GOK to use another input device instead; see Help for details." how do I make the on screen keyboard shows up? thanks hicham

LTSP keyboard question in Fedora 9
by Zoltan Boszormenyi 27 May '08

27 May '08

Hi, thanks for all the hard work integrating LTSP5 into Fedora. My son is happy that he has sound on his machine now. :-) However, I have a problem. How can I set up hungarian keyboard for LTSP clients? ltsp-build-client created an en_US.UTF-8 client with US keyboard. I changed these files: /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/sysconfig/i18n: -------------------------------- LANG="hu_HU.UTF-8" -------------------------------- /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/sysconfig/keyboard: -------------------------------- KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" KEYTABLE="hu" -------------------------------- This matches the host that was installed natively with Hungarian settings. The host was a Fedora 8/x86-64, now upgraded to (not re-installed with) Fedora 9. However, it seems only the i18n setting is applied, the X logon screen is giving me Hungarian messages but still uses the US keyboard. I can add the keyboard switcher applet inside the clients to switch to hungarian but I would like to have Hungarian starting from the logon screen. How can I do it? Best regards, Zoltán Böszörményi

LVM - How to resize a volume group?
by Dejan Čabrilo 27 May '08

27 May '08

Hello all, I'm new to LVM so my terminology and understanding may be wrong, but let me try to ask the question: * I currently have two partitions on a hard disk: sda1 (/boot) and sda2. * sda2 holds a logical volume group (VolGroup00), which holds 3 volumes. * I would like to shrink the volume group VolGroup00 (sda2), in order to free up some space on the hard disk, and create sda3 partition I know I can free up some space on VolGroup00 (shrink one of the volumes). But, how can I non-destructively resize the volume group itself? What would be the steps involved? Thank you, Dejan Čabrilo P.S. Obviously, there are workarounds like using a second HD to move all my stuff there and then create a new setup, but I'd like to do it without any workarounds, if possible.

Fedora 9 and selinux
by Geoffrey Leach 26 May '08

26 May '08

The Fedora 8 install process had an option to say whether selinux was to be used in the installed system. The Fedora 9 install had no such question. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

Web server permission in FC9
by Charles Layno 26 May '08

26 May '08

Ok, I know I have something screwed up here and for the life of me I can't see the forest for the trees. I am upgrading from FC6 to FC9 with a new box and install. I use a different area to house my files for the web server than /var/www/html. I have taken my old httpd.conf and changed the DocumentRoot's in the new config file and even tried a symbolic link to see if I could get passed the permission issue I have. The regular server is working but the "not configured page" works just fine so I know the server is working. Here is the error message I am getting: #Forbidden #You don't have permission to access / on this server. #Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I have run out of ideas. Charles Layno Greensboro, NC
