Launchy Fedora 13 x86_64
by Pasan 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Can someone please point me to a binary of Launchy 2.5 for Fedora 13 x86_64. When I tried to build it from source I got the following message at the last step (when it's linking) of the make process. /usr/bin/ld: build/platform_x11_hotkey.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XKeycodeToKeysym' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'XKeycodeToKeysym' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation I don't know how to resolve above issue. thanks pasan --

Hopefully, my online accounts, including Facebook, will not be compromised by my antagonists. I hope that the content (text, video, and audio) in my data sharing sites will remain fully intact without unauthorized alteration, modification, and deletion by my adversaries. And hopefully nobody will close my facebook account without my authorization and consent either. I am exceedingly concerned that I might have heart/coronary artery disease and that it might be in the late stages. My physical symptoms are: 1) Aching in the upper left of my chest since beginning January 2009 90% of the time, sometimes it may migrate to the right side 2) Shortness of breath from time to time 3) Palpitations in the last few days (I can feel my heart beat very hard and irregularly) 4) Muscle aches in the hands and legs, sometimes my hands(palms) will cramp 5) Involuntary movement of fingers/thumbs occasionally 6) Facial spasms occasionally 7) Sometimes I will feel my body "vibrating" anywhere from head to toe 8) When I tried to feel the pulses on my wrists, the pulses will "disappear" after a while. This is contrary to what doctors, nurses, and others have been telling me. That my pulses are consistent. 9) Sometimes when I am just about to fall asleep, I will get a sudden jerk or have a feeling that I am falling or my heart is going to pop out 10) giddiness/dizziness/light-headedness from time to time 11) Sometimes I will feel weak after just waking up, especially in the hands 12) discomfort at the back of my head from time to time I have visited many doctors at A&E departments of many general hospitals here but they all try to brush me off and tell me I am fine. My request for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for the brain and (more specifically the) heart is usually declined. It seems that the doctors are stalling for time, dragging and delaying until maybe it is too late to do anything for me. I have been unemployed since October 2009 and have depleted all my personal savings. In May 2009, which is just last year only, I have done a MIBI heart perfusion study (radioisotope IV + gamma camera) and the cardiologist/heart specialist told me I have NO heart/coronary artery disease (even though I have high cholesterol and it could be managed). LVEF was 64% and MIBI was negative for ischemic at Stage 2 Bruce (as at 21st May 2009). How could it then have progressed, from NO heart/artery disease to the above-mentioned physical symptoms, in such a very short period of time?! This is all very very very strange. Could it be some other problem instead? Heart/coronary artery disease takes many many years to develop. As you can observe, I am nowhere as obese as Moses Lim, a Singaporean Mediacorp TV actor. References, photos, and videos of Moses Lim: (1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_Lim (2) http://moseslim.com/content/ (3) http://www.xndo.net/moseslim.html (4) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sHKOiegnS8 Yet he is already 60 years old. I also had a grandmother who was very very obese and she was able to live until 60+ years old. There are many many people who are far fatter and have far greater builds than me. They do not have any physical complaints like mine. Why do I have weird/strange physical symptoms like giddiness/dizziness, chest aches, muscle aches in the limbs, shortness of breath, hyperventilations, and palpitations all of a sudden at 32 years old? Foul play? !?!?! Could it be that my neighbours have been frightening/terrifying/threatening me everyday 24x7 non-stop for the past 3-4 years with all sorts of terrible/horrible things that can happen to me? Maybe my heart couldn't take the stress under such an intensive, constant and prolonged psychological abuse? I have also heard them talk about me to various people while I am at home. I think they do that purposely. But I have had totally no say at all from start to finish because I am not allowed any chance for direct involvement. I am being excluded and not given any chance to know anything. They also seem to have gathered/amassed a lot of private information about me. I seriously wonder how they do that. They appear to be extremely resourceful and motivated. There appears to be some intrigue and cloud of secrecy around me. These people know all of my online monikers and email addresses. They have been submitting online forms using my identity and have even attempted to submit password reset instructions for me without my knowledge and consent. I actually overheard my neighbours claiming to have passwords/complete access to all my email accounts and other online accounts. They may also create phony email accounts and send messages impersonating as me without my knowledge. Thank you very much for your kind attention. PS. (1)My neighbours have claimed that they will never stop or waver in their psychological warfare on me unless I commit suicide. Or they will wait patiently until I have a heart attack or stroke. How callous they are! I want to live and live to a ripe old age. And I wish for a long and healthy life too. (2)I have a severe panic attack on 27 May 2010 Thursday and several panic attacks after that. Due to the panic attacks and the severe anxiety caused by my neighbours, I have been warded in Changi General Hospital (Ward 14) for 2 weeks (from 1st June 2010 to 15th June 2010) (EDIT: Four weeks (from 1st Jun 2010 to 2nd July 2010)). I am actually on home leave today to write this letter (15 June 2010). I will be going back to the ward at night, hopefully before 8 P.M. (3)Most of the nurses in Ward 14 CGH have been very nice and friendly to me. Hopefully they are not putting on a false front. But the doctors there are as obstinate as mules. They stubbornly and stoutly refuse to give me any advanced heart imaging tests, e.g. MRI (preferred), CT-scan (not preferred), echo cardiogram, and ankle brachial indel (ABI) tests. (4)I have a medical appointment at the National Heart Center Singapore on 17 June 2010, which is next Thursday. I hope that the heart specialist there will allow me to do the advanced imaging tests (brain/heart) that I want and tell me the absolute truth about my medical condition. (5) My neighbours have strangely and repeatedly commanded me hundreds of times to apply to work in a casino else I would not get medical treatment. Strange? Baffling? A casino environment is not suitable for me and I do not want to work in a casino. I want to work as an Information Technology (IT) engineer. This is my preferred profession. (6) After discharging from CGH on 2nd July 2010, I still have not managed to get any advanced medical imaging tests (MRI) for my heart/brain. The doctors at CGH have consistently refused to do the tests. (7) I went for an ABI test at National Heart Center Singapore on the day of discharge from CGH. The results appear to be okay. Please refer to my facebook for the details of the test results. (8) I am given a full echo cardiogram appointment at the National Heart Center Singapore on 2nd Sept 2010. But I am still not given any MRI tests for my heart/brain. Strange.

"exclude" in yum.conf and yumex.conf

FC13-i686 I do not want to update the Fedora kernel, kernel-headers. I put in yum.conf and yumex.conf , exclude=kernel and exclude=kernel-headers but yumex still tries to update the kernel. Why ?

Yum oddness
by Patrick O'Callaghan 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

I did a "yum upgrade" and was offered: qbittorrent x86_64 1:2.2.8-2.fc13 even though I currently have: $ rpm -q qbittorrent qbittorrent-2.2.9-1.fc13.x86_64 (Note the version numbers) I said 'N' because it seems at least counter-intuitive. Is there any way to check that the proposed upgrade really supersedes the installed version, or should I complain to the qbt maintainer? poc
