panini - tool for creating perspective views
by Franta Hanzlík 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Not sure when it's right practice, I found interesting (for me and maybe for others too) program "panini": http://sourceforge.net/projects/pvqt/ I made .spec, icon and .desktop file for it, and RPMS/SRPMS packages for F9 and F10. They are at: http://hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/panini/ I hope they maybe useful for someone. Regards, Franta Hanzlik

Unconventional F10 installation
by John Wendel 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

I'd like to install F10 on a tiny box that has only a compact flash disk (ide interface) and a network interface. I tried cobbler, but it died with some strange python runtime error, so a network install is out (I'm too lazy to learn how to setup a PXE server). Is it possible to do an install by running the installer as a regular program? If I can't use the installer, can I move the CF disk to another F10 box and just copy the installation files. Is there any reason this won't work? After the files are copied, is there anything needed besides a grub install? Thanks, John

Web cam recommendations?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Howdy - I travel a pretty fair amount - over 115 nights in hotels in 2008. I use Skype on Linux (both Fedora and RHEL) and I would love to be able to use the web cam feature so I can see my kids before they go to bed. Anyone got a known good web cam for this? I've never owned a web cam so this is completely new territory for me. - -- Thanks!

Fedora 10 login screen
by Margaret Doll 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

I tried adding [greeter] Browser=false to /etc/gdm/custom.conf to change the login screen. This made no changes in the screen. Is there a gdmsetup or "Login screen setup" program? If so, in which rpm is it located? On Feb 4, 2009, at 10:26 AM, Margaret Doll wrote: > How can I change the login screen?

Can pf be used on F9? Would there be any advantage or disadvantage in doing so? Thanks.

Resizing NTFS partition to make room for FC10
by Tod Thomas 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

I know this is a little off topic. I did google around looking for the correct forum to post this question but had little luck. If anyone can make an informed suggestion I'd very much appreciate it. I have a 150GB ATA disk, /dev/hdb, containing winxp. I'd like to move the contents to an spare 80GB ATA disk, /dev/hda, to make room for a full install of FC10 on the larger disk in preparation for ultimately getting the winxp install running under a linux based VM. From knoppix, I started by using ntfsresize to shrink the xp partition down to 20GB. That worked suprisingly fine. I then installed the smaller drive and used dd to copy over the image of the xp installation: dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hda bs=10000000 count=2000 I rebooted and voila! it worked - sort of. The new disk boots xp but it still, according to fdisk, thinks its 150GB. So I used fdisk to delete and redefine the xp partition (primary, bootable type=7) with the new size of the drive, 20GB. After rebooting xp came up but then started quickly blue screening a message I couldn't read, and rebooting. This repeated in a loop until I just rebooted. I tried the whole process over again but this time specified 80GB to dd and fdisk, same disaster. I tried everything again, but this time instead of fdisk I fired up gparted to see if I could resize from there hoping that if it could some magic would also fix the invalid sizing detected by fdisk. gparted could see the drive but couldn't recognize it as having anything it could work with. I highlighted the drive and the progress bar stayed gray. So far it seems I can use the drive this way without causing xp any problems. The issue is things just don't look right and I suspect it will come back to bite me one day. I'm not an expert at manipulating bits on a hard drive just yet. Could someone point me to my error? Is what I'm trying do-able? If its a conceptual problem a little education would come in handy too. Thanks in advance - Tod

Setting gnome-terminal default size
by Jonathan Ryshpan 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Is there any way to make gnome-terminal have a default size of (say) 90 wide x 30 high, rather than the system default of 80x24? I am getting tired of setting the size every time I start the system. Thanks - jon
