Hi All, I want to burn a bunch of flac files to a vanilla audio CD. Is there a qualitative audio difference in the resulting wav file if flac is decoded and encoded to wav by ffmpeg or some other decoder/encoder? Thanx. JD

System monitoring apps
by Alex 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Hi, I'm using FC13 and would like to find a set of graphical utilities that can be used to monitor the various parts of the system, such as disk and network activity, memory utilization, status of virtual machines, etc. Is there one such application that can do this, and run in a small window on the desktop? Thanks, Alex

F12: How to save desktop settings?
by Dan Thurman 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

I have yet to discover a foolproof way to save my desktop settings, as it appears to save the first time once one checks System>Preferences>Personal> Startup Applications:Options>Automatically remember..., but once one adds more things to the desktop, these new additions were not saved. So, how do I save these new desktop additions? I tried different permutations and still have not found a consistent saving method... Finally, when will the fedora team put that save desktop button back into place?

how not to initialize HD
by Paul Cartwright 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

I don't know why, but I keep trying to install Fedora on my laptop. The last time I did it , it told me it had to initialize my HD, and I stupidly said YES. And it did. Wiped out my XP/Ubuntu setup. I reinstalled XP , and I tried AGAIN, and it still wants to initialize my HD. This is a Dell 100Gb HD laptop that has always been dual-boot, with lots of Linux distros EXCEPT Fedora.. If I say ignore, it tells me there are no partitions to install onto. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

yum-updatesd just notification Problems!.
by Jan Muhammad 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Hi, I've installed yum-updatesd on my server (run level 3) and nothing seems to happen. It hasn't reported any updates for a long time on FC11. The manual Yum update works, however. I followed all the steps mentioned at (http://www.ultranetsolutions.com/Yum-nightly-updates-with-yum-updatesd.html) The service is running: /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd The conf file is as follows. I've also tried to have it output to email notification. [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 3600 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = email email_to = root(a)mydomain.*.*.*.* # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes # automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = yes # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = yes -- Any ideas what might be the issue for yum-updatesd not working? Cheers, Jan Muhammad

dynamic memory automatically zero'd
by Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Hi all, if you allocate memory, e.g. via malloc(3), then it is automatically set to zero. This is actually a security feature quite common nowadays. I would like to know when this feature has made it into Fedora or in RHEL. Is this a mandatory feature of some security policy as e.g. the Common Criteria? I couldn't find much information about this. Therefore, any pointers, hints and so on are welcomed! Regards, Stefan

F12: Desktop backgrounds are not "holding" across desktop workspaces?
by Dan Thurman 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

I noticed that when I select a desktop background, especially that of multiple slideshows, clicking into another workspace reverts back to Fedora's background image. Even if the new background was added and set as default, it exhibits the same behaviour when moving to different workspaces.... Has this been reported as a bug or is this problem solved in F13?
