Hi all,
I'm using evolution 2.32 on fedora 14, but I can't see alarm displayed.
If I start evolution-alarm-notify manually every alarm are displayed.
Someone can help me configuring it at startup?

How to disable Focus Stealing Prevention
by Jason Turning
I preupgraded to Fedora 14 from 12, and now I have some type of focus stealing
prevention in effect, i.e. you click a link in mail or Akregator and it loads
in Firefox but doesn't switch over to Firefox. I don't run Compiz on this
laptop, as on my Mandriva desktop running Compiz there is a setting for this in
Compiz that solved the problem there. But searching and tinkering I've yet to
find the setting in Fedora 14. Anyone figure this out already? Thanks.

File conflicts
by Chris Kottaridis
I tried to use yum to install openchange-devel and that package seems to
have a man page in common with the man package:
$ yum install openchange-devel
<bunch o stuff>
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/man/man3/index.3.gz from install of
openchange-devel-0.9-9.fc14.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
man-pages-3.25-1.fc14.noarch
What is the right way to get around this conflict. I really probably
don't need the man page version from openchange-devel, I'd rather keep
the standard one.
Is there some way to tell yum to not intall the conflicting file, but
install all the others ?
Thanks

udev rules + adb insufficient permission
by slamp slamp
did anything change on how udev creates devices for usb's?
specifically debugging device for adb? i dont know when this changed
but all of the sudden i did not have permission to my adb device. i
had to create a udev rule to specify the proper permission. i am
running fedora 14 x86 with all the latest updates. i checked my yum

Boost Library Parallel Installation
by Mark LaPierre
Is it possible to install boost-1.37.0-6.fc11.i586 along side
boost-1.41.0-11.fc13.i686 on F13 without hosing up the entire system?
I've got a thorny dependency problem that sym-links doesn't fix. Maybe
I could install it to a different base directory?

desktop file exec working firectory
by Dj YB
Hello,
I am creating a desktop file for a service menu, and can't find out how to use
the directory from which the action was launched.
this is how it looks:
Exec=convert %F `kdialog --title "save PDF" --getsavefilename join.pdf`;
this is how I want it to look:
Exec=convert %F `kdialog --title "save PDF" --getsavefilename $PWD/join.pdf`;
that doesn't work.
thanks in advance,
YB.

apcupsd & Fedora 14
by Jorge Fábregas
Hi,
Is anyone here using apcupsd with Fedora 14? I just noticed the stock
apcupsd package is crippled. It won't send the "killpower" signal to
the UPS (just had a power outage).
When I inspect /etc/init.d/hat, the only UPS-related logic there is:
# Shutdown UPS drivers
if [ "$command" = /sbin/halt ] && [ -f /etc/sysconfig/ups ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/ups
if [ -z $POWERDOWNFLAG ]; then
POWERDOWNFLAG=/etc/killpower
fi
if [ "$SERVER" = "yes" ] && [ -f $POWERDOWNFLAG ]; then
/sbin/upsdrvctl shutdown
fi
fi
These files (/etc/sysconfig/ups & /etc/killpower) are not related at all
to apcupsd. Also, when I check what package provides /sbin/upsdrvctl I
get the "nut" package. I'm not using nut and I also disabled the
power-manager on Gnome.
I verified the apcupsd package for scriplets (to see if it would modify
/etc/init.d/halt according to apcupsd) but it won't. Am I missing
something? If not I'll open a bugzilla then.
Thanks,
Jorge

GNOME - mount CD/DVD to fixed point
by Franta Hanzlík
Hello all,
is possible in GNOME 2.30/2.32 (on actual F13/F14) for some users mount
CD/DVD media not to "/media/VolName/", but to fixed mountpoint - e.g.
media pushed to /dev/sr0 mount to /media/cd0 or to ~/Desktop/CD0 e.t.c.?
Or mount as currently GNOME does, but in adition automatically create
fixed symlink to created mountpoint (and remove it after is media unmounted].
I know "autofs" automounter can mount CD/DVD to fixed point, but this
likely isn't user-aware and it would have do with any custom scripting. Or
this task can be probably solved by watching /media directory using
incrond or inotify-tools and custom scripts - but solution directly in
GNOME would be cleaner.
Thanks in advance, Franta Hanzlik
