Per user tmp?
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
Any idea how I can setup a per-user tmp directory?
E.g.
USER1 has /tmp -> /tmp/USER1, /var/tmp -> /var/tmp/USER1.
USER2 has /tmp -> /tmp/USER2, /var/tmp -> /var/tmp/USER2.
etc.
In short, I want each user to have a private /tmp, and /var/tmp -
without having to resort to using virtualized/jailed environment.

Linksys WRT54G2
by Rich Emberson
I run Fedora 9 (only, no windows or macs). I recently was given a Linksys
WRT54G2
Wireless-G broadband router with its installation CD (which according to the
terse instructions has a windows and mac modes - of course no Linux).
I want to use this as simply a wireless access point to my existing LAN. I
already have a router and DSL internet connection.
Anyone have any experience or links which can help me figure out how to use
this puppy?
Thanks

Okular + mozplugger?
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
Anyone gotten okular working under mozplugger?
I tried adding "repeat noisy swallow(okular) fill: okular "$file"" to
mozpluggerrc, but okular opens up a new window instead of getting
embedded into the existing tab. *
Fedora 9, x86_64, KDE 4.1 from updates-testing.
- Gilboa
* This is most likely a mozplugger bug, but I'm asking just in case.

X leaks memory
by Patrick O'Callaghan
A few days ago I was casually running htop and noticed that the X server
seemed to be consuming an inordinate amount of memory. Since I normally
leave my session logged in for days at a time, I logged out and the
usage immediately dropped to a fraction of what it was. I decided to
monitor the usage with the following script (run from a root console):
#!/bin/sh
X=`pgrep -f /usr/bin/X`
period=1800
mkdir -p /tmp/Xleak
while :
do
stamp=`date +%F_%R`
grep Vm* /proc/$X/status > /tmp/Xleak/$stamp
sleep $period
done
(this just copies some statistics from the /proc/<pid>/status file to a
time-stamped log file every 30 minutes).
The results are interesting. Between 5:30pm yesterday and 9am today the
usage as reflected by the VmSize statistic went from 450952 KB to
1241608 KB, i.e. almost tripled. It's worth noting that the running apps
over this period basically didn't change: evolution, a few Firefox
windows, a couple of terminal consoles, a Ktorrent session and a
quiescent Pidgin session.
The 'xrestop' tool shows total consumption for all 39 clients of X to be
46464 KB (the top user is kwin with under 20MB).
The Xleak stats show long periods of no change, which seem to correspond
to me not using the machine, with occasional increases and no decreases.
It seems fairly clear to me that X is leaking memory. I also collected
stats from /proc/<pid>/smaps but the process memory map never changes.
I suspect this explains why I've found my system to start becoming
sluggish after a few days use, something which has been bothering me for
months. Monitoring the situation with htop is illuminating: cpu usage
rarely goes over 10%, but whereas in a new session I'm not using any
swap space, after a day or two swap is being used more and more, and
eventually fills up completely. Not good.
This is F9 with an 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64 kernel on an Intel 965
motherboard, 2GB of RAM, onboard video chipset, running
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.905-2.20080702.fc9.x86_64 and
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-2.fc9.x86_64 under KDE 4.1.
Has anyone seen this behaviour, or should I bump it upstream, and if so
where to? BZ has some reports of apparent leakage (e.g.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448503) but I'm not sure
it's the same phenomenon.

re: Dell Vostro 1510: Problem w/ lan, wlan and audio - Fedora 9
by Dani
Hello everyone,
Just baught this new laptop and I can't get it work w/
Fedora 9.
It came w/ drivers cd (rpm files),but when I tried
installing it, things only got more messed up.
Currently I'm running it w/ Ubuntu 8.0.4 after I tried
countless distributions, and only Ubuntu runs it fluently
and even out-of-the-box. But I would really like Fedora back.
Have anyone experienced similar problems, or have a
suggestion?
Thanks,
Dani.
(Sorry for sending my mail in html before. It was the first
time I tried to ask Fedora user's help. I hope you will
understand)

Nautilus desktop filling up with fictitious icons (Fedora 9)
by Neil Bird
A colleague here has had a fresh install of Fedora 9 for a while, and the
only remaining issue he has is that, after being logged in for a while, he
starts getting a an ever increasing slew of extra icons on his desktop that
don't match devices or actual files in ~/Desktop.
Now, these aren't *totally* fictitious; it appears to be something to do
with a '.snapshot' directory (or it's updates) that our network filer
maintains on our NFS-shared home directories (containing hourly.0, .1, etc.,
nightly.0, etc.). I don't believe there's anything special about this
directory.
Mostly, it seems that the icons that appear seem to be dirs. and files in
in them (albeit skipping the 'hourly.0' level) such that the rogue icons
appear to be from the home directory.
We're not quite sure what causes this; it may be the backup process
occurring (once every few hours). He *can* force a fictional '.snapshot' to
appear on the desktop by inserting a USB stick. When the stick's removed,
.snapshot stays when the USB icon goes.
'lshal' isn't showing anything untoward, and neither is 'mount'. Logout
and re-login clears the rogue icons, IIRC.
It may be something to do with the LDAP-authenticated home dir. mounts
(we've not seen any issues with this before, but F9 did have some problems
when trying to use NetworkManager as that came up too late to access /home)
We've seen odd things like the following in /var/log/messages (edited):
Aug 29 12:06:27 hostname hald: unmounted /dev/sdb1 from '/media/disk' on
behalf of uid 1143
Aug 29 12:06:27 hostname gnome-keyring-daemon[2695]: removing removable

Aug 29 12:06:38 hostname automount[2229]: expire_proc_indirect: expire

etc.
What else can I 'ls'? Where else does nautilus get its drive information
from?
