British Spellcheck in Firefox 3.05
by homburg＠tips-Q.com 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

I have US English selected as the language but FF insists, for example that "color" s/b "colour." Is this a bug or something that I can reconfigure? -- "Neither Lifestyle nor Agenda" http://www.tips-Q.com

yum list display some package in 2 rows
by Ambrogio 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi all, I use yum list in a script to have everytime I need a list of package available. Some packages, that have long names, are displayed in 2 rows, so scripts are more hard to be coded. There is an option to have a more simple list of packages, less readable by umans, but more readable by computer? Tnx Ambrogio

mouse buttons stop working
by Bjørge Solli 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi System: Fedora 10 (both 32 and 64 bit) I have a strange problem. The mouse buttons stop working suddenly and without any obvious reason. The cursor works fine and the keyboard works fine, but no clicking with the mouse. I have seen this on two machines with two different users and four different usb mouses (both wireless and cabled). I believe it is a software related problem. Any ideas? I use Ctrl+Alt+Arrow buttons to switch desktops and it might be that switching desktop is a common factor. regards Bjørge Solli

by José Tiburcio Ribeiro Netto 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello! Those of you that are developing Ruby on Rails applications on Fedora 10, installed rubygems from the rpm on the official Fedora's repository, or from source (rubyforge.org)? Are there any conflicts when using "gem install some_gem"? Or when executing "gem update --system"? Thanks.

campcaster on fedora?
by Dave Stevens 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

I hope the subject line is self-explanatory, but in case it isn't, does anyone have Campcaster (radio station automation software) in an rpm? It seems the default builds are .debs.

evolution email
by Harry R. 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Oh well, After trying for a couple of days to get Evolution NOT to return those infamous sync errors that it has been doing for years, after reading a LOT on the Net about this and other evolution problems, after trying to import my old mailboxes (does not work always, or actually, it almost never works), after trying to get it to understand an Mbox layout, and doing evrything again and again, it now freezes at random and even crashed at typing email number 2. Evolution is I am sorry to say probably the most disappointing email client I have ever worked with. Back to the basics. H.

I'll post my specs when I get in, but I'm shocked to see that Mozilla doesn't have much love for our market. I assumed that since it was FOSS that it would give more love to Linux, but I guess Windows has more pull than I thought. That's what I get for ASSuming things. Reid, I look forward to "nightly" adventures... so I'll look into the latest beta build too. Oh and to confirm, it probably is my nVidia car. Ever since I've been running this system and learning about Linux (9+ months), there has ALWAYS been a common denominator... and that's my graphics card (nVidia GeForce 8600 GT). If I didn't need 3D support A LOT of my issues would have gone away. Amazing how troublesome this awesome little graphics card has become to FOSS users. -- Marc F. www.fergytech.com Registered Linux User: #410978 "When life gives me lemons...

So they can block lookup of sites they deem harmful. I'm not certain I follow how the ISP gets involved with the definition of localhost in /etc/hosts, but I haven't seen any reason not to call the lack of an IPv6 definition for localhost (specifically not "localhost6") a bug and to try to get it fixed. My inclination is to file a bug against the F11 alpha when it comes out next week, since it's anaconda that creates the default file content. I expect some resistance to change, but I can only hope that BZ doesn't become the venue of a debate on it, though.
