Auto shutdown when idle
by Riccardo Rencinai 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Hi, I'm running a couple of computer rooms at the local university for a total of 40 computers. All of them run fedora. While we firmly ask our students to turn off the computers when they leave the rooms, often people forget to do so. With older versions of Fedora (when HAL was still in place) the solution to this problem was feasible (albeit tricky). I had to enable the "suspend to disk" option when the computer was idle for (let's say) 10 minutes and then just change the content of the script related to suspension to obtain, instead, the computer shutdown. Now that HAL is gone for real I have no idea on how to achieve the same result. The gnome faq related to GnomePowerManager has not been updated and it is still pointing to the above trick. Any suggestion on how to achieve the same result with fedora 12 (or 13) will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your reply. -- riccardo.rencinai(a)prometeo.lett.unisi.it

zoneminder AXIS mpeg4 ffmpeg-libraries
by Nikolay Yatsyshyn 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Hello! Can anybody help me with zoneminder troubleshooting? I'm using AXIS M1011 IP cameras and want to move capture format from mjpeg to mpeg4, because of internet havn't sufficient bandwidth. Mjpeg working fine, but when I change format to mpeg4 with RTSP and path /mpeg4/media.amp I got: zmc_m3[8961]: FAT [You must have ffmpeg libraries installed to use remote camera protocol 'rtsp' for monitor 3]. zoneminder was installed from fedora repos and ffmpeg with ffmpeg-libs was installed from rpmfusion repos.

after upgrade to f12
by terry 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

i upgrade on a dell b1110 that has f10 for awhile , then f11. using the upgrade to f12 cd from the fedora site. i had trouble with the screen last night but seems to have mysteriously disappered over night. one caveat left with me was the need to update after rebooting. no such thing. nothing to update. using yum update gets this ..... libss.so.8 cannot open shared object file, something about python 2.6.2 and gcc 4.4.1. rpm -i libssl.so.8 gets me ...opening failed. a trip to duke edu says things about this problem not being an error with the lib but something to do with python. their suggestion to type python and at the prompt type... import yum. then the error message is libssl.so.8. trying yum, rpm and the gui for updates leaves me with the feeling i do not have a way to update. Any suggestions?

How to make a Live USB running "from RAM"?
by Roberto Ragusa 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Hi, I successfully created a Live USB bootable pen drive by using my custom kickstart file, livecd-creator, livecd-iso-to-disk, as explained here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB Everything works, but I would like to be able to remove the USB pen after boot and run everything from RAM. The machine has 2GiB of RAM and the img is 300MiB, so it is certainly doable. For what I want to do, one free USB port is more valuable than 300MiB of disk cache. Is there a way to obtain this? Thank you. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it

yum update to rawhide
by "Germán A. Racca" 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Dear list: When Fedora 12 Beta was released, I updated to it with # yum --enablerepo=rawhide upate and nearly every package was changed from package.fc11 to package.fc12. But now, when I run the same command to update to Fedora 13 Beta with rawhide, I get fc13 packages mixed with fc14 How can upgrade to Fedora 13 Beta without mixing fc14 packages?

It's not clear whether you are trying to create a livecd image, on a stick, or create an install image, on a stick. Your first problem is that you are trying to do these things with a mounted USB stick. If you want to create an install image then look here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=205596 Geoff Tux says: "Be regular. Eat cron flakes."

f12 sometimes is slow to start
by Natxo Asenjo 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

hi, I have been using the f12 (686) on a dell latitude e6500 laptop. This is my corporate workstation and so far it's working really nice. Everything works out of the box and configuring it to work with its docking station was very easy (much easier than expected). Great work! Thanks. There is one little problem. Every now and then when I boot the laptop it kind of 'freezes' and a few minutes later it works as it should without any other problems. I can change to a virtual terminal and login there, but if I try to login graphically it will take me like 2 to 3 minutes to complete the process. I cannot see anything in the log files. Like I said, it does not happen all the time nor it is really annoying, but I would like to find out why this is happening. In /var/log/messages I do not get any errors. How can I debug the gnome login process? -- Groeten, Natxo Asenjo
