empty log files
by michael
I can't recall doing anything 'wrong' but I now notice most of my log
files are, unexpectedly, empty (see example, below). Anybody care to
suggest how I can debug why this is so? Thanks, M

Pidgin/Kopete problems with ICQ
by Rick Stevens
The ICQ servers seem to be blocking ICQ accounts using Pidgin or Kopete,
claiming that their protocol is "too old". I've not yet squawked this
to the Pidgin or Kopete people. It surely is annoying.
Thought I'd give a little heads up here on the list so you don't flog
yourself over the head about it.

Well, it was a nice theory while it lasted, but unfortunately it didn't
last that long. I had another hang this morning when moving a Windows
window (in a RDP window connected to a MS box).
I'll keep working on it!

Yumex cleaned my system..... How do I contact yum-team?
by DB
Good evening (at least it is in Austria!)
I'm new to Linux & Fedora, last messed with Unix in about '89...
I've (eventually) installed F9, with a selection of odds & ends, and
found that yumex SEEMED to be a better way of updating & installing than
the Gnome Add/Remove Software. My problem comes when I try to remove
"something" (e.g. CUPS) when yumex seems to consider every application
that uses or links to CUPS as being a dependency. In my naive, trusting
way (!), I assumed the 223 listed dependencies were sort of .dlls which
CUPS had added to everything that needed to print. Oh, how wrong can
you be????? 223 deleted apps later & I had a bare bones system - even
yumex was gone! & most of Gnome!
SO, after a day & half fiddling, I got back to a working system again
(95%). I posted the situation on FedoraForum & was advised to bring it
to the attention of "Them what looks after Yum", but I can't find out
how to contact the yum team.
Any suggestions on how one contacts the yum team???
Thanks

gnome-system-monitor applet -- can't see or or change the views
by Bill Case
Hi;
In F9 I find that all the view options of gnome-system-monitor applet
other than Memory Maps and Open Files are greyed out -- and those do
nothing discernible. I can no longer choose All processes, Active
processes or My processes.
The processes reflected in the main window are only the processes of the
logged in (or effective) user. I now have to sudo gnome-system-monitor
to see root processes etc.
I leave gnome-system-monitor on all the time. I have it running on the
upper left corner of my top panel. A quick glance up tells me what is
going on and using the applet is faster than ]$ ps -aux for just a
checking the existence of a process.
Is this restriction to user processes only, deliberate, or is there
something I have to configure, or is it a bug?

Yum auto mirroring?
by Arthur Pemberton
What is the status of mirroring yum? I have two machines (soon to be) with F9.
I would like to speed things up by hosting some form of mirroring on
my Centos5 box.
I am thinking Squid, but not sure if that's the best solution.
Des anyone have success stories? Squid or otherwise? Ideally I could
just set yum only to use a squid port, but yum doesn't seem to
directly support proxies, just indirectly via ENV variables.
I am open to suggestions.
