The Counter-Fedora People At #fedora
by Randy Yates 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Why do the following people, time after time, insist on banning me for asking fedora questions on #fedora? VileGent Khaytsus (or however you speel his name) [R] They are absolute pricks. If the Fedora community wants to improve their position with the public, I suggest that they start monitoring #fedora for the utterly vehement, venomous, vicious attitudes these regulars have there and do a little pruning of operator priviledges. I have been a Fedora user for 4 years (since FC3). I have (for better or worse) provided documentation on some things that have helped me: http://galois.digitalsignallabs.com/notes.htm I have encouraged my friends to switch to linux/fedora. I'm advising others. I've filed several bug reports. I'M ON-BOARD WITH FEDORA! So if you want to keep folks like me, and encourage others, please, PLEASE - clean up the #fedora channel from the egomaniac, self-centered, self-serving folks that spoil it for so many others.

'xset dpms 1201 1801 2401' and these stay set until i reboot or kill X but I _think_ I have seen a stray "dpms-like suspend" occur at least once even with those settings. So it still looks to me like some other system control. I am using gnome; so maybe gnome power manager is doing something here. My system is a desktop not laptop. Do you have any more info as to just how in your case xset dpms was fighting with gnome power manager? Jack

F12/Subversion/httpd -- PROPFIND access denied
by Steven F. LeBrun 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

After upgrading to Fedora 12, I installed and tried to set up a Subversion repository with mixed success. I have worked out the bulk of the issues but one still has me stumped. Hopefully, someone on this list knows the answer or can point me to a URL that does. The problem is that I cannot get Subversion to work with Apache 2.2. Every time that I try to checkout the repository, I receive a 403 Forbidden Access error. To make matters more frustrating, if I access the repository using local access (file:///...) the command works. It is only when I try to use HTTP/WebDAV access (http://localhost/svn/...) does the access problem occur. Things that I have tried: - SELinux enabled and disabled -- no difference. - Various permissions and ownerships. -- The repository and Subversion directories are currently owned by apache.apache. - Various settings in my subversion.conf file for httpd. -- When the <LimitExcept> section is commented out, the failure comes on the third "PROPFIND /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request. The first two return 207 while the third one returns 403. Using Wireshark, all three requests are identical barring numbers in the IP headers. -- When the <LimitExcept> section is active, the failure comes on the very first request, "OPTIONS /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request with a 403 response. -- Both 403 responses contain the same reason: "You don't have permission to access /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk\n on this server." Any suggestions will be appreciated.

GDM resolution.
by Grzegorz Witkowski 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Hi, I have got a problem with GDM resolution. It looks GDM uses a very low resolution. Once I log into Gnome, the resolution is back to normal (1440x900 set by xrandr). I can see there are setting for GDM in gconf-editor. Is there anyway to set the resolution there or should this be set somewhere in /etc/gdm/Init/Default or /etc/gdm/custom.conf maybe? I do not want to use xorg.conf and come back to the past when xrandr does the job for Gnome properly now, for me at least. Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks. Ges

small gripe -- for Fedora, or KDE, or ....?
by Beartooth 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

I run Gnome, and have a strong if irrational allergy to KDE in general; but there are several apps (such as Konqueror for man pages, and K3B) that I use so much that I make sure to get them even if I have to install all of KDE to do it. I might well use, or at least try, several more, if I didn't have to interrupt what I'm concentrating on .. But for as long as I can remember, there have been two kinds of entries in the Main menu: ones that will tell you what they are or do if you hover the cursor over them -- and ones that belong to KDE. Why the lacuna? Do KDE developers, like Apple developers, presume that *everyone* already knows? Do they, like the poet Stefan George, want entanglements of "barbed wire against the uncalled" [Stacheldraht wider Unberufene] around their demesnes? Do they offer descriptions, which Fedora (a/o Fedora/Gnome) then suppresses?? To whom ought one address a request for them?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Name of fedora lists - you're kidding right?
by Genes MailLists 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Suggestion: May I suggest as we move to the new mailling list server, that we please change the name(s) from the current long (and goofy) one(s) such as: "Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora." to something more concise ? thanks.

list server got slower ?
by Genes MailLists 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

As of a few weeks ago, posting to this list got the post back in my mailbox in a few minutes. Now I am seeing delays. I spot checked a couple of posts (1 mine 1 someone else via yahoo) - the 2 machines that take the longest to pass messages through are: lists01.pubmisc.prod.ext.phx2.redhat.com ---> 2 mins mx01.util.phx2.redhat.com ---> 7-10 mins gene/
