How do I change the desktop background for the GDM login screeen? I don't see anything in custom.conf. Is there some gconf magic? Thanks, Jim

sed with several lines, how?
by Arthur Bela 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

hyphen's [ - ] are just for marking the start/end of a pattern, but there are _not in_ the pattern! "OUTPUT" is what i want after "seding" the PATTERN#X's so i for e.g.: need the first, and second "magic" sed "FIRSTMAGIC" PATTERN#1 sed "SECONDMAGIC" PATTERN#2 PATTERN#1: ----------------------------------- SOMETEXT#1 SOMETEXT#2 SOMETEXT#3 SOMETEXT#4 ----------------------------------- "exact pattern", what is unique from the pattern: ----------------------------------- \n ----------------------------------- OUTPUT: ----------------------------------- SOMETEXT#1 SOMETEXT#3 SOMETEXT#4 ----------------------------------- and: PATTERN#2: ----------------------------------- SOMETEXT#1 SOMETEXT#2 </div></body></html> SOMETEXT#3 ----------------------------------- "exact pattern", what is unique from the pattern: ----------------------------------- \n</div></body></html> ----------------------------------- OUTPUT: ----------------------------------- SOMETEXT#1 </div></body></html> SOMETEXT#3 ----------------------------------- i just can't figure it out, how to "sed" when having several lines [nor in awk, perl..] could anyone post a link, or some guide, how to write these two lines of "sed"? Thank You! :\

Fedora14 Audio mixers in KDE
by Terry Barnaby 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

I have just updated some systems for Fedora12 to Fedora14. All has gone well and is working well, so far, except that I don't seem to be able to control the mixer on the sound hardware. Sound is working, in that I get the login music, beeps etc. Specifically I want to listen to audio from the Line input. The KDE sound icon has an overall level control but no other controls. The "Configure Channels" settings in kmix do not list any other channels. This on three systems, with different sound hardware although all Intel I think. Any ideas, has something changed with the pulseaudio config ?

Any Dittoheads out there?
by Geoffrey Leach 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

No flames please. This is a technical question. I download podcasts with a script that runs after 11pm (Satelite internet). Is it possible to get the URL for the day's show by scraping the member's page or compute it?. Needless to say, their tech suport has no idea what I am trying to do. Thanks.

Flash issues with FC14, rawhide kernel
by Bill Davidsen 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

2.6.36-5 I was trying flash on an FC14 system with Firefox, and running the 2.6.36-5 rawhide kernel (otherwise stock Fedora system). The flash player crashes a few seconds into playing a video. Flash works with the latest FC14 kernel, and with the rawhide kernel using seamonkey. Verified on a P4 desktop, Celeron laptop, and VM on i7-950 (KVM). just in case this is useful to someone, I don't think BZ wants a bug in non-Fedora application software since other Flash bugs are marked WONTFIX. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Mailman tutorial
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

I have never configured mailman. My server is F12 and the mail setup is based on: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squir… I have been running this mail setup for over a year and am happy with it. Now I want to add mailman. I have installed mailman on another system and am trying to figure this puppy out; it is not easy it seems. So I am looking for a decent tutorial (like the one referenced above). Any help out there?

KDE and proxy configuration script
by Serguei Miridonov 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hello, Is there any way to trace how KDE sets proxy from the PAC configuration file? For me it seems not working... Here is a sample file proxy_config.pac: function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if (shExpMatch(url, "https:*")) return "DIRECT"; if (isInNet(host, "127.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0")) return "DIRECT"; if ( shExpMatch(host, "localhost") ) return "DIRECT"; if ( shExpMatch(host, "localhost.*") ) return "DIRECT"; if ( shExpMatch(host, "127.0.0.*") ) return "DIRECT"; if ( isPlainHostName(host) ) return "DIRECT"; var resolved_ip = dnsResolve(host); if (isInNet(myIpAddress(),"xxx.xxx.0.0", "255.255.0.0")) { if (isInNet(resolved_ip, "xxx.xxx.0.0", "255.255.0.0")) return "DIRECT"; if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".xxx.xx")) return "DIRECT"; return "PROXY xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3128"; } return "DIRECT"; } The KDE is set to "Use proxy configuration URL" file:///home/XXXXX/proxy_config.pac When at home and I have direct connection to Internet, everything works. However, when at work and my IP address is within specified xxx.xxx.0.0 network, I can not see any web page. It seems like KDE is still set to direct connection but these are blocked by a firewall, only proxy connections are allowed. KDE (konqueror and plasma applets) does not even try to connect to proxy server. Does anybody have the same problem? Any help would be appreciated. By the way, testing PAC file with pactester shows no error, so it seems OK but KDE does something wrong... System: Fedora 12, KDE 4.4.5. Thank you. Serguei.

CPU usage with iostat
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hi, Why the first execution of "iostat -c" always displays the same values? [root@abc ~]# iostat -c Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp (abc) 11/26/2010 avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle 5.62 0.00 3.08 3.30 88.00 [root@abc ~]# iostat -c Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp (abc) 11/26/2010 avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle 5.62 0.00 3.08 3.30 88.00 [root@abc ~]# iostat -c Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp (abc) 11/26/2010 avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle 5.62 0.00 3.08 3.30 88.00 ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ When I use "iostat -c 1" the next values are modified: [root@abc ~]# iostat -c 1 Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp (abc) 11/26/2010 avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle 5.62 0.00 3.08 3.30 88.00 avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle 2.00 0.00 4.00 23.25 70.75 avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle 0.75 0.00 1.74 24.38 73.13 avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle 0.25 0.00 0.50 24.56 74.69 ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ Reading the man pages os iostat, I could not understand these lines: *"The first report generated by the iostat command provides statistics concerning the time since the system was booted. Each subsequent report covers the time since the previous report." "The first report contains statistics for the time since system startup (boot). Each subsequent report contains statistics collected during the interval since the previous report."* *Why it can´t build a report with the current usage values at the first execution?* -- Att.
