sun jdk vs java-1.6.0-openjdk
by Bob Hartung 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, I have loaded Fedora13 without a hitch and am impressed by the improvements! However, I am just now beginning Java programming and I am wondering if there is any substantial difference between java-1.6.0-openjdk and the sun jdk. If I decide to remove the openjava and work only with the Sun JDK at this time, how do i make sure that all of the many openjava related files are removed? Thanks, Bob

Blue screen of death
by Alex 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, As if to say, "F"-you, the screen changed from my normal desktop, with Firefox, Azureus, a few terminals, and a few VMs running, to a solid blue screen with just the Fedora squiggly 'F' in the middle of the screen, and the whole computer locked up. Completely dead. Catatonic. Unresponsive. Nothing in the logs. What the hell happened? This is really aggravating, because it has been one problem after another, and I'm beginning to rethink my decision on this desktop. Ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Sun Java double-click interval
by Pasan 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

I use Fedora 13 64bit with latest updates. Applications using sun jre (for an example matlab) has a very fast double-click interval. This makes double-clicks get interpreted as two single clicks. When I add the line '*multiClickTime: 400' to $HOME/.Xdefaults and invoke xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults double-click interval in matlab (and all other sun java applications) works fine. But every time I login I have to invoke the command 'xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults' I have a feeling $HOME/.Xdefaults' is not checked by the X session. What's the correct filename in Fedora where I have to put double-click interval? Thanks Pasan --

Issue with guest additions on Fedora13 in Virtualbox
by Aneesh K raj 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Hi, I am trying to install guest additions on the fedora 13 in my virtual box.. ran the VB.....sh file from /media/VBox..../ as root and below was the result ******************************** Uncompressing VirtualBox 3.2.6 Guest Additions for Linux........ VirtualBox Guest Additions installer Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules [FAILED] Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules. Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong. Once you have corrected it, you can run /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup to build them. **************************************** and the log file cat /var/log/vboxadd-install.log Makefile:23: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR= and run Make again.. Stop. Creating user for the Guest Additions. Creating udev rule for the Guest Additions kernel module. why is it failing... Also after the update the screen size has increased (screen resolution is 1024 *768) ; i see the scroll bars (both horizontal & vertical); how can I have the screen without any scrolls.. My host OS is Windows XP -> screen resolution is 1280 * 720 Regards

Fedora users on powerpc
by JD 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Is there another list that is dedicated to fedora users on powerpc? I had asked a question here about booting F12 on powerbook G4, and no one answered. I assume there are no fedora/powerpc users on this list.

F13 boot floppy??
by Beartooth 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Yes, floppy. I have an old Dell PowerEdge SC 1420, originally a server, now mainly for backups and bulk storage; I used to have to burn a boot.iso to CD, and put a Fedora DVD into an external USB drive in order to be able to upgrade it. Last time was much easier; preupgrade worked, no sweat, and it ran fine for a long while. Then I goofed it up. (Never mind how -- sheer stupidity, mistaking it for another machine on my LAN that did have trouble.) So I want to try F13 in rescue mode -- unless there's a better way. (Remember, it doesn't seem to be able to get its electrons around the idea of a DVD, even with Fedora and the external drive to help. Or unless there's a boot.iso, small enough for a CD, that I somehow failed to find.) Point is, it does seem to recognize an external USB floppy drive just fine, and maybe even be willing to boot from one ... -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
