Samba and Windows7 (a comment to an article)
by Leslie S Satenstein 30 May '09

30 May '09

Windows 7 does not do play well with a Linux network running Samba. Unless you want to update your entire Linux network to the latest version of Samba (and were not sure that will work) you will not be able to join your Windows 7 machine to a Samba domain. Did Microsoft do this by design? Anyone verify that F11, or Ubuntu works with W7? ------------------ Regards Mr. Leslie Leslie Satenstein voice: 514-369-1685 mailto:lsatenstein@yahoo.com

Application Server Software For Fedora 10/11/CentOS
by Robert L Cochran 29 May '09

29 May '09

I'm interested in setting up a Fedora system as an application server so that it works like/has features similar to IBM's WebSphere Application Server. I can't afford IBM's licensing costs. Is there an open source application server that works more or less the same and will run on either Fedora 10 or 11 or CentOS? Thanks Bob Cochran

Adding X after the fact ...
by Ashley M. Kirchner 29 May '09

29 May '09

I have a server that was upgraded to FC10 a while back (and kept up to date through yum.) When I first did the install, I didn't bother to put X on it since at the time I didn't really care to have it now. But now I do. So what's the best way to go about this? I don't want to redo the whole system to do this. Can I simply do it through yum and does it actually work if I did that, or will I end up with a bunch of missing stuff?

git & less/vim
by Brian Ericson 29 May '09

29 May '09

Anyone know how to get git working properly with less and vim? Specifically: * less does not "clear" (revert) the screen properly after commands like "git log" and "git diff" * vim isn't using the git extensions/file types for commands like "git commit" Both of these work properly in Gentoo (and vim -- but not less -- works properly in Ubuntu), but it's not obvious to me what's different between the distros to account for the differing behavior...

cd to folder with spaces - in a script
by Michael Casey 29 May '09

29 May '09

How can I cd into a dir, when it contains spaces, and I need to use it in a script? the directory: /home/user/this is a folder/something normally I would use: cd /home/user/this\ is\ a\ folder/something/ but in a script I cant just add the "\" like: find . -type d | while read FOLDER; do cd $FOLDER; done $ No such file or directory the problem is, that there would be more "special chars" then spaces, "sed" them all? :D Thank you

New user introduction
by potat0 29 May '09

29 May '09

Hey all, Just want to introduce myself as a new member. Love the work that's going on in Fedora and I'd like to participate in the community. I'm a system architect/programmer at http://dutchsoftware.com [1] and mainly working on http://elvisready.com. [2] We're using lots of opensource software in our product (all LGPL off course). Besides that I've created many native tools using GNU OSS packages and Mac Core Libraries. At home I've been using Redhat 6 as my first try at Linux and from there on, never turned away from *nix. Tried some slak, gentoo (man that takes a lot of your time), debian .. on the road. Never couldn't help returning to Fedora though, it rocks. I like living on the edge, that's why I tried Gentoo, so I only ever run Rawhide. Well that said, Cheers, Jan Links: ------ [1] http://dutchsoftware.com [2] http://elvisready.com. -- This is an email sent via The Fedora Community Portal https://fcp.surfsite.org https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=347547&topic_i… If you think, this is spam, please report this to webmaster(a)fcp.surfsite.org and/or blame jan(a)dutchsoftware.com.

Rotate touchpad
by Boggiano 29 May '09

29 May '09

Basically I'd like to use my eeepc like ebook reader. I can flip the screen with xrand or by gnome control center, but I haven't found a solution for the touchpad. I found a guy that made it work with ubuntu (http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/synaptics/) and I know that it's possible doing it "on-the-fly" with XP. Something for fedora ? Thanks Alessandro

bluetooth mounse becomes erratic when network load is moderate.
by Wendell Nichols 29 May '09

29 May '09

I have a bluetooth mouse which works nicely most of the time, but if I run a process which consumes network resources (and my network is wireless) the pointer lags behind the mouse movement. Even playing music via an nfs mounted disk is enough to cause this problem. Anyone else see or overcome that? wcn
