Fedora 11 GDM - unwanted list of all local users and impossible to customize?
by jaivuk
Hello guys,
I did not use gdm for some time and now I'm not happy how it looks in Fedora
11.
First of all - the list of local users is unacceptable from security
reasons. Even if it supports such "an " option - how it can be the default
one?!
Second problem I have is shutdown button (and possibly restart as well) -
when you click on shutdown button by mistake, system will shut - there is no
confirmation dialog.
I also tried to find some ways how to customize gdm in Fedora 11 but I did
not find any usable guide.
Can anybody please advise me how can I have prompt asking for username only
(showing last logged user at maximum) and not displaying the list of all
local users?
Also can I somehow add confirmation or remove shutdown restart buttons from
gdm screen?
Or can you please advise any alternative to gdm?
Thank you very much,
Jan

Rendering chart from bootchart
by Suvayu Ali
Hi everyone,
I have been seeing very long boot times for the last few months so I ran
bootchart. But I can't render the chart after booting. The web interface
seems to be down. And the java application supplied with bootchart
generates the following error.
> $ java -jar /usr/share/java/bootchart.jar
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException
> Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.cli.ParseException

I have the Java Development Kit files installed:

> java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-30.b16.fc11.x86_64
What seems to be wrong?

Installing F12 on Mactel
by Leon Stringer
Hi,
I've tried to install F12 on my Core 2 Duo iMac. The installation seemed
to go okay but there's no sign of Fedora when I boot. I hold down the
<Option> key and just get the MacOS partition. Is there a trick to this?
Thanks in advance,
Leon...

Critical temperature reached, shutting down
by Steve Malenfant
I have an ECS board which triggers these Critical temperature alarm and them
my system shuts down. This happens only in "yum update" but doesn't on video
playback for hours.
Jan 14 14:06:19 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (127 C),
shutting down.
Jan 14 14:06:19 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (127 C),
shutting down.
The problem I have is that the CPU temp stays about 40C when this happens
(using sensors) and can't find any temperature that goes higher in the
sensors data.
Seems like a ACPI problem but the kernel log message has no details on which
sensors is at 127 C.
Is there a way to tell the kernel to be a bit more verbose on these?
Thanks.

Fwd: Freeze due to Xorg server??
by Antonio M
A friend of mine has installed F12 (that has been fully updated) on
her AMD system with Radeon graphic card, but she js experiencing some
freezes randomly.
So she added some option to grub and situation greatly improved, but
sometimes during operation system locks
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE ro
root=/dev/mapper/vg_lella-lv_root LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=it rhgb quiet
noacpi nomodeset
initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE.img
I suspect that something is wrong with Xorg, so I got from her by
e-mail all Xorg log files, that are attached.
I can't understand why thereis a Xorg.0.old.log file that is empty, anyway
can someone have a look to these logs and comment them?
Tnx for help

kernel module
by Luca
Hi all,
I created a kernel module which can be passed some command line arguments
(I tried that with insmod and it works).
Now I would like, when I start the kernel with grub, to have this module
loaded at boot time so I can pass, at boot time, a kernel boot option to it.
I mean having something like
kernel vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 initrd=linuxrc mymodule.param1="myparamvalue"
initrd ....
is it possible?
Thanks,
Luca

akonadi startup errors
by Kevin Kempter
Hi All;
I've gotten no replies from kde-linux, so I'll ask here:
I upgraded to KDE 4.4 yesterday. I get this error EVERY time I start Kmail:
[ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't
exist
I've tried removing the .local/share/alonadi directory and rebooting with no
luck.
Can anyone point me in the right direction per how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

KMail
by John Aldrich
WTF is up with KMail? Ever since I installed a bunch of updates this
morning, KMail started having problems. I got a brilliant idea and
decided to see if restarting KMail would solve the problem. Well, it
didn't. It caused more problems. Now I can't send *anything* and
there's a message on my system (at home -- logged into it from remote)
stating "starting akonadi server." Now WTF is that and why is it not
starting???

Where is 2.6.32?
by Konstantin Svist
How come Fedora is still on 2.6.31? Is .32 held back on purpose or are
there issues merging it?
It took less than a week for .31.9 to be pushed through... but I don't
see .32 in updates-testing and it's been almost a whole month...

Between F11 and F12, which would you choose?
by Reg Clemens
I have a half dozen machines updated to F11, and one to F12.
Im wondering if I should update the F11s to F12 or leave well enough alone.
I realize that the F11 distribution has reached a 'stable' status, and
the F12 distribution will probably take a couple more months to reach
that status, but would be interested in hearing what other users have
to say about the pair.
