Session - Remember Running Apps not working? FC10
by Dave Bolt IT Solutions 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

I am under the impression that using the System->Preferences->Personal->Sessions->Options I can have Fedora 10 remember the running applications when I log out, and hopefully start them again when I log in. I certainly could do this with FC8, although I don't remember how I enabled it. Am I using the wrong setting, or is this a problem other people are seeing? Thanks

Skype and video[Was:Webcam recommendations?]
by Fernando Apesteguía 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi all, I'm using Skype 2.0.0.72 and I have a Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks, as reported by lsusb: idVendor 0x046d Logitech, Inc. idProduct 0x08dd QuickCam for Notebooks bcdDevice 1.00 With this version of Skype, I'm able to see other people doing video conference (better quality with compiz disabled), but I can't get the webcam working. In Options->Video, the webcam is detected, but when I push the "Test" button, all I get is this: Starting the process... Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 4 Skype XShm: XShm support enabled Skype Xv: Using Xv port 131 <Here Skype closes and I get the command prompt again> Nothing catches my eye in the system log. I tried to install libv4l.i386 but it didn't make any difference. Any success cases? Any hints on how to solve this?

RHN Trial Subscription Wanted for 30 days
by Paul Ward 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi, I would like to do some practising on subscribing to channels and patching via up2date on rhel4, 3 and 2 Does any one know how I can get a 30 day trail to do this so I can subscribe.( I am a RHCT if it helps?) I did have some numbers from the course I went on a long time ago and never used, but can not get to them for several more months as I am away. If it is possible to do up2date in Centos I would consider but really wanted RHEL for screenshots. Cheers. -- email: pnward(a)googlemail.com website: http://www.pward.co.uk MSN: pob2000is(a)hotmail.com Skype: paul.n.ward

F10. Synaptic unable to install dl'd packages. Anyone confirm this?
by Nigel Henry 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Synaptic still hasn't been fixed on F9. It will download the packages ok, but complains of MD5 sum missmatches, and is unable to install the packages, although subsequently doing an apt-get install for the packages, will install the already downloaded packages. The same problem appears to exist on F10's synaptic, although now there is no warning message about MD5 sum missmatches. Before I file a bug report, could anyone who uses apt, and synaptic confirm that on F10, synaptic is unable to install packages that it has downloaded. Probably not many apt users on the list, but worth a try. Nigel.

Updated Packages - 21 February 2009
by Donald A. Greene 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

02 -21-2009: Installed (i.e. Updated) selinux-policy, evolution-data-server-doc, selinux-policy-targeted, evolution-data-server, gtkhtml3, evolution, evolution-data-server-devel, evolution-help, evolution-perl. Evolution stuff seems to have borked my evolution to the extent that trying to print an email aborts evolution. Have had several aborts while doing nothing but idling. Plus I am seeing the creation of numerous extraneous folders with no names. I have sent several bug reports to Bugzilla but it appaers to be down. Seems to be quite a mess. Anybody else seeing these errors or is it something unique to my situation? -- Donald A. Greene <dagreene(a)worldnet.att.net>

F10 - Preferred Applications
by Paulo Cavalcanti 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hi, System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Preferred Applications (/usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties) does nothing in F10. I just realized that today, therefore I do not know what caused the problem. This command is part of control-center-2.24.0.1-12.fc10.x86_64 Is this another known issue of gnome 2.24? Thanks. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ

Firewall problem: Only works on a restart.
by Steven W. Orr 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

I have a minor mystery and I don't know how to debug it. I have two computers in the house. Machine A has two NICS, one of which is hooked to the cable modem and sees the outside world. Also, Machine A implements the IPTABLES firewall with NAT. Machine B and Machine A's 2nd NIC are hooked up to a little hub. Ever since I upgraded to F10, I notice that Machine B can't see the outside world unless I restart the firewall. And just to make it interesting, iptables -L > before restart the firewall iptables -L > after diff before after result is no difference I'm wide open to a suggestion on how to fix this. And please don't tell me to restart the firewall in rc.local. ;-) TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.
