Will Firefox 3.6 be pushed?
by Chris Smart 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Hey all, I'm still new to Fedora in that I've never seen a new major version of Firefox in this time. Will Firefox 3.6 be pushed out as a system upgrade, or will Fedora stick to the stable 3.5 series? if so, any idea of eta? Would it be similiar to 3.5 series or take longer cause it's a major upgrade? Thanks a bunch. -c

When trying to do an /etc/init.d/proftpd start on my Fedora 11 box, I am getting a return of Failed. I can find no service which might be interfering and no log file anywhere showing me an error. Any Ideas? Thanks Mike

udev problem under f12
by François Patte 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 bonjour, I had to fight with a non answered problem on this list. (See my posts "Am I the only one" and "f12 /dev/dvd missing") I found that some udev rules were not written and I don't know why: The install came smoothly without any warning or error. What was missing is file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules I could create it running: udevtest /sys/block/sr0 My question now is: why this was not created during instaal/first boot? Is it a bug? Is this coming from my hardware? How can I check if there are not other similar problems in my install?

NFS over ADSL
by Terry Barnaby 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

I routinely access my systems remotely using an OpenVPN connection over ADSL and use NFSv3 to access remote file systems. Although this works quite well there are two core issues I have: 1. NFS access does not seem to have any reasonable I/O scheduling ability like the standard Disk I/O system (fair usage scheduler). This means that a large file access or transfer will end up hogging the NFS causing timeouts on other file system access to the remote system. 2. There does not appear to be any real ability for a local, large disk cache of the remotes file system. For me this would be a great advantage. Does anyone know if any of the above are possible with NFS ? If not does anyone know of a "simple" network file system that would have the above features ?

QTParted - normal behaviour or BZ?
by DB 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Evening All, Just tried to run QTParted on my F11-KDE desktop. If I click on the internal Linux formatted HDD, all is well. If I click on my external HDD (still NTFS), QTParted starts to look at the drive, then vanishes. Tried running it from Konsole & got the message that QTParted is not yet able to work on NTFS partitions. Question: is it correct/normal behaviour for an app just to vanish, rather than to give an error indication? Should it be BZed? Dave

by Matt Smith 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Can anyone recommend a good C++ compiler for Linux, I am very new to Linux (very very new). Does Fedora 12 come with one? In Windows i used to write programs using borlands dos console compiler and Dev-C++. It would great to get a recommendation for a good one in Linux and how to install it. Thanks Matt

KDE apps and freetype-freeworld's bytecode interpreter
by Vassili Zaitsev 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Hi, I was wondering if someone could confirm (or possibly solve) a problem I've been experiencing with F12 KDE, freshly installed and now fully updated. I installed freetype-freeworld and then added the MS core fonts, setting Arial and Courier New as the defaults in System Settings. Also in System Settings, I changed the "Use anti-aliasing" setting from "System Settings" to "Enabled", and then configured the hinting style to "Full", checked sub-pixel rendering and set the anti-aliasing exclusion range at between 8.0 and 15.0 pts (NB, KDE's system fonts range in size between 8 and 10 pts). The curious thing is, in the case of Gtk applications such as the GIMP, Firefox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey and GNOME MPlayer, the fully-hinted MS fonts are displayed correctly, in all their sharp, bytecode-interpreted grandeur whereas in KDE applications the same fonts just look ragged, much as if the BCI had been left uncompiled. Interestingly, there seems to be an exception on the KDE side: K3B, which displays MS core fonts correctly. I should point out that where anti-aliasing is turned on but the "excluded range" setting is left unchecked, in both Gtk and KDE applications the MS fonts are anti-aliased, so the issue appears to be with KDE rather than freetype-freeworld. Best wishes, Vassili

Can't burn CD iso in F12
by mike cloaked 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

I have an up to date F12 machine and wanted to burn a CD iso this evening - I found the burn failed on all attempts with k3b, brasero and any other app I used to try it.... is there some new bug in f12 that causes this?
