"open" defaulting to K3B
by Beartooth
In F12, lots of things default to K3B to be opened with, even
though K3B can't open them. And I don't get the option to "open with" on
most of them, either.
I did manage to get into the settings to configure K3B, but saw
nothing there that would explain why it pushes itself forward in cases it
can't handle. I can't seem to find a way in to the settings/configuration
for Nautilus nor Gnome generally ....

Is it safe???

Don't waste your time trying to upgrade. Upgrading has always been problematical even when only going to the next release. Back up your data, and do a clean install of 12.
Or do what I do: Install new release leaving the old one untouched, and dual boot for safety.

Can you please copy-paste the whole mplayer output? Maybe even adding the -v
option to increase verbosity level a bit? Oh, of course, don't use a GUI. Open
a terminal, type
mplayer -v filenameofthemovie
and post the output.
I am curious about this also, but it appears that the torrent you provided is
dead --- I see only two seeders with combined output of 835 B/s (!!!), and the
estimated time of download is 36 days 14 hours, which is of course ridiculous
for any testing purposes.
HTH, :-)

NetworkManager has stopped working
by Timothy Murphy
When I re-booted my Thinkpad T43 laptop today,
NM failed to start,
as far as I can see through a failure of wpa_supplicant :
--------------------------------
Mar 29 14:41:45 carrie NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): driver supports SSID
scans (scan_capa 0x21).
Mar 29 14:41:45 carrie NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): new 802.11 WiFi
device (driver: 'ipw2200')
Mar 29 14:41:45 carrie NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): exported as
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1
Mar 29 14:41:45 carrie NetworkManager: <info> modem-manager is now
available
Mar 29 14:41:45 carrie NetworkManager: <WARN> default_adapter_cb(): bluez
error getting default adapter: The name org.bluez was not provided by any
.service files
Mar 29 14:41:45 carrie NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the
supplicant...
Mar 29 14:41:45 carrie NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): supplicant manager
state: down -> idle
--------------------------------
The network service works fine
(on chkconfig-ing NetworkManager off, and network on,
and re-booting).
Also "sudo iwlist scan" sees my AP perfectly.
Can anyone suggest what the cause might be,
or how I can find out?
There appears to be no recent entry in /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log .
Actually, this is the second (of 5 or 6 machines)
on which NM is not running, although the network service works.
In both cases the problem seems to be connected to wpa_supplicant.
Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
Ps I was grateful to find that the network service
seems to work better than it used to ...

Copy /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi
Edit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi:

with
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">uk</merge>
us can be replaced by uk, fr, etc. - your choice.
Reboot.

I found another way that seems to work, and does not require any changes to /etc files or copying from /var
Assume you are using gnome. Then add "keyboard layout indicator" to the panel and set it to your preferred keyboard layout. Use the options to delete all keyboards you do not want to see. Then irrespective of
the keyboard shown in the Gnome signon panel, it appears or will keep the one you originally chose from the keyboard layout setting

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.

Fedora 12: issue running custom Env. Variable before KDE login
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello Everyone
This is an otherwise stock installation of KDE on Fedora 12. I compile and
run three KDE applications from KDE's extragear SVN repository (Amarok, K3B
& Krusader), and one that does not come from KDE (Bibletime).
I install them in a new path each time, depending on what day that I am
updating. Today I have installed Amarok, Bibletime, K3B & Krusader in
"/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde" So, for example,
"/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin" looks like this:
/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarok
/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarok_afttagger
/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarokcollectionscanner
/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarokmp3tunesharmonydaemon
/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/amarokpkg
/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/bibletime
/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/k3b
/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/k3bsetup
/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/krusader
This path does definitely exist!
K3B, for example, does not detect the appropriate plugins unless I set the
KDEDIR to point to the directory that "bin/k3b" is located in. So, I
created a file called "/home/steve/.kde/env/customenv.sh" It's entire
contents look like this:
export KDEDIR=/usr
export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:$KDEDIR
"systemsettings | Advanced| Autostart" has that script set to run on "Pre-
KDE startup"
From a terminal, the values of $KDEDIR and $KDEDIRS are as follows:
[steve@localhost ~]$ $KDEDIR
bash: /usr: is a directory
[steve@localhost ~]$ $KDEDIRS
bash: /usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:/usr: No such file or directory
[steve@localhost ~]$
And, as most of you probably expect from what you read above, "which k3b"
returns the following value:
[steve@localhost ~]$ which k3b
/usr/bin/k3b
[steve@localhost ~]$
So, I am at a loss as to what to do next.
Here is a link to the K3B forum:
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=86700&p=152946#p152071
where I got the idea for:
export KDEDIR=/usr
export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:$KDEDIR
(I have changed what I was originally told to try to make things more
simple to maintain. In fact, I used to have four separate KDEDIRS lines in
customenv.sh and it worked great. For a while...)
So, any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

udev question for dealing with auto spindown on Seagate FreeAgent Go 1T drive
by Darlene Wallach
I saw this advice on how to implement a fix using udev:
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DealWithAutoSpinDownOnSeagateFreeAgent
udev Method
Add a rule to the end of /etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules
# Seagate FreeAgent allow_restart fix (i/o errors)
SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi",DRIVERS=="sd",ATTRS{vendor}=="Seagate*",ATTRS{model}=="FreeAgent*",RUN+="/bin/sh
-c 'echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_disk/%k/allow_restart'"
I have Fedora 10 installed. Should I add a new file 10-local.rules and
put it there? I currently don't have a local.rules file.
$ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/
40-multipath.rules
51-packagekit-firmware.rules
60-libmtp.rules
60-pcmcia.rules
60-wacom.rules
65-md-incremental.rules
70-persistent-cd.rules
70-persistent-net.rules
