Thunderbird & Okular question
by DB 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Afternoon All, Seeing all the post about not being able to open "latest pdf", I have a question..... In Thunderbird, I have set my default for pdf attachments to Okular. Everytime I try to open a pdf attachment, I get a dialog asking me if I want to save the attachment. When I save it, I then have to go to the downloaded file & open it with Okular. Have I missed something in my preferences? I seem to remember "not so long ago...." that the automatic opening worked. (Automatic opening works for other sort of files, just not for pdf & okular.) As ever, thanks for any insights!

Fedora12 Release Notes.
by Reg Clemens 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

What has happened to the concept of release notes that a person could actually print down and read? Previous releases have had Release Notes that were mabe 20 pages long, with a sentence or two about each change. I looked at the Release Notes for Fedora12, and its a 500page PDF document. Now thats way longer than I want to print, since I would never read it all, and there is no way Im going to read more than a page or two of it online. So basically, someone has spent a lot of time, generating a very nice looking document, which I am sure has a lot of good information in it, but we need something more compact. Something I can read in 10minutes. As it stands, I have to assume that I, and everyone else just ignores these Release Notes. Too bad. -- Reg.Clemens reg(a)dwf.com

Difference between g++ and c++?
by Joachim Backes 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Hi, In F12, I installed gcc-c++, containing /usr/bin/g++ and /usr/bin/c++: comparing both, getting the result: these files are identical. Why then c++ is not a link to g++? Are there important philosophical or historical reasons? ls -l /usr/bin/c++ /usr/bin/g++ -rwxr-xr-x 4 root root 235972 2009-12-22 13:57 /usr/bin/c++ -rwxr-xr-x 4 root root 235972 2009-12-22 13:57 /usr/bin/g++ diff /usr/bin/c++ /usr/bin/g++ && echo files are identical files are identical Regards -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

RE: Inquiry
by Hristo Petkov 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Hi Guys, I have installed OmegaT on my PC under F11 and it works pretty well. I found on OmegaT.com a TTX binary plugin for linux (called toxic), I downloaded it and unpacked it, but I don't know how to install it. (the unpacked folder contains a bin file and three other files). The bin file fails to run both with the Autorun Prompt and in the system terminal as SU. Would you advise me what to do to install this TTX binary plugin under OmegaT, or do you know something else that can be installed in OmegaT in order to be able to read, edit, and write TTX files for Trados. Best regards, Christo Petkov

Multihoming confusion
by fedora 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Hi every I am changing the ISP from aaa.bbb.243.160/27 to ccc.ddd.206.128/27. In order to provide seamless service to our customers I made the hosts concerned multihomed, i.e. I added them a logical interface on the new subnet. I did not introduce a additional NIC into the hosts. Then, I changed the default route on the hosts to the new network. e.g in one host concerned you will see myhost:~ # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:AD:B8:39:C3 inet addr:ccc.ddd.206.132 Bcast:aaa.bbb.243.191 Mask:255.255.255.224 inet6 addr: fe80::80:adb8:39c3/10 Scope:Link inet6 addr: fe80::280:adff:feb8:39c3/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2733080 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2494806 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:119322 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:791914000 (755.2 Mb) TX bytes:579375282 (552.5 Mb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0xf000 eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:AD:B8:39:C3 inet addr:192.168.97.164 Bcast:192.168.97.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:9 Base address:0xf000 eth0:2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:AD:B8:39:C3 inet addr:aaa.bbb.243.164 Bcast:ccc.ddd.206.159 Mask:255.255.255.224 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:9 Base address:0xf000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:372918 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:372918 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:92340116 (88.0 Mb) TX bytes:92340116 (88.0 Mb) myhost:~ # and myhost:~ # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface aaa.bbb.243.160 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 0 eth0 ccc.ddd.206.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.97.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 ccc.ddd.206.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 myhost:~ # NOTE: this multihoming has nothing to do with additional security or performance.

'R' statistics package install on Fedora 12
by JayLinux 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Hi, I would like to install the 'R' statistics package on Fedora 12 (x86), and checked the R-Project page (http://www.r-project.org/) for a Fedora 12 package, however there were only RPM's for Fedora 10 and 11 (http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/, also at other d/l mirrors). How can one install 'R' on Fedora 12 ?

nouveau on a kernel.org kernel not official Fedora kernel?
by Antonio Olivares 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Dear fellow fedora users, I have compiled a kernel from kernel.org(2.6.30) to make a working kernel module for a dialup winmodem. IT no longer works with 2.6.31.X or higher :(, I have successfully run it but get no working X. I copied exactly the Fedora config for the kernel without any modifications, the kernel starts up fine, but X does not work. I know that I can use the nvidia binary driver here, but is there an easy way to make noveau work here? IF I boot a Fedora kernel I see nouveau 538240 2 ttm 34264 1 nouveau drm_kms_helper 22700 1 nouveau drm 136056 4 nouveau,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 4820 1 nouveau i2c_core 23352 4 i2c_i801,nouveau,drm,i2c_algo_bit In my newly compiled & installed kernel, I don't see this and I try to # modprobe noveau but I get something about DRM I read here, http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallDRM but those instructions appear too complicated making me think to just install nvidia driver and forget about it. Is there an easy way to keep nouveau running/installed on this self compiled kernel? Thanks in Advance, Antonio
