My "santa-list" for Fedora-14.. & is there a file-wash program?..
by Linda McLeod
I run Fedora-14, mostly for a pix editing hobby like some use electronic
card-solitaire to relax, & music, & writing in "focuswriter"... I'm not
on the Net at home.. The demons destroy my PC's OS twice a week.. Me
thinks it's a "hungry falling libido thing" for them...
I note a few little glitchy areas in this OS, which seem to "slap &
destroy" sensitive writers rolls.. I can't use Fedora, or any OS to
write when I'm one, two, or three, "rungs-up in intellect for topic
rolls".. The glitches irritate me out of my fleeting extreme focuses
I wish those thht-glitches weren't so in my face, like "a bad smell"...
I've posted in forums about them.. All I get is flamers "pissing in my
face" and people who really don't have a tiny clue even what my
questions are about...
My "santa-list" for Fedora-14:
There should be user controls to config everything about the desktop
screensaver slide-show.. Time-period pix's change.. sizes on screen..
maybe a "custom sized screen on screen".. customizable background
colors.. slide intensities.. Hey! maybe even an OS systems link into
gimp via screensaver..?
What would it take to have screensaver married to gimp..?
What can you do to screensaver slide show, or to a slide show, to make
it more interesting and enjoyable and fun, even funny?.. Is there a way
to make the PC project a slide show on the adjacent wall..? What would
it take?..
What would it take to have the PC project a slide show in the middle of
the room, without screen in the air..?
Controls to delete a pix from the OS should an unwanted screensaver pix
come up on screen.. and even edit it via a link to Gimp's wonderful
pix-laboratory...
User tools to config desktop: simple r-click tool options to save
programs that are up on desktop, to be up on boot...
Fedora should have a base install of programs to show all Web activity
in & out, in real-time, with strong controls to block any and all
gorilla and demon activity...
I click up "home file" twice.. One window runs "pix file thumbs".. the
other file window runs "home file".. to drop edited pix into various in
progress files and/or various theme files...
The problem is that home file pops-up in the middle of the screen when I
wants it to be snug at top & right screen..
And second file drops right over top the first, thht!.. not at the
bottom right an inch from the bottom screen, showing only the top row of
files..
"autospell" resets upon close.. I wishes it would stay clicked.. as I
wish "keep aligned" would stay clicked...
I don't connect my personal PC to the Web.. When I do, "government and
corporate brain-suckers are into it like bluebottle-flies on
fresh-poop", "tossing my room like it's their gilded-toilet", desperate
to steal the new technologies I say I have, after I offered to build it
for them for free..
So, given this computer isn't pest connected, I don't usually need the
login password, mostly because I remove the hd, and take it, when I
leave the house.. There should be a timed control for the user to
disable login-password, so the computer goes from "press the button", to
"OS loaded".. because when I'm on a roll I needs physical-realm things
to run themselves, so I can hold the roll intact while the computer gets
started.. It ain't fun loosing a cosmical-roll because the computer was
off, and requires an easy babysitter to get it on.. User should have
option to disable boot hangups, by making "autoboot" an option... Maybe
even add a timer that turns the PC on in a schedule..?
Ailurus should be in desktop r-click... Ailurus and Gimp should tackle
some of these requests...
I wish the mouse was a lot faster.. I'm running a logitech marble mouse
for pix editing.. Over the years conditioned my flip of the marble to
land the cursor on any chosen common button.. but the cursor is way too
slow at fastest mouse settings.. makes me feel like the world is built
for "dead-turtles" and "tater-heads" and "bad-liquid people".. If
artisans want different atmosphere they gotta die, or make it better, in
the war...
I really wish the cursor was a half inch cutlass.. metallic maroon...
I downloaded a sword-cursor once in W98.. It installed with 75
spy-trojans.. I had to format C, and lost my sword, cuz I didn't know
how to clean the crap that download set in the OS for their unscrupulous
project... Their kind makes the Internet be dirdy and stinky, like a
sewer...
DBAN should be part and option of every Linux distro CD...
With a click of the mouse, user should be able to make an ISO of the
customized/personalized OS as it is for to install fully updated OS
without a Net connection, and without any grief...
I’m finding too much “ram slowdown” while I edit pix...
Seems a few of these Web-pix have nasty snoop-bugs in them, which attach
themselves to running programs for zombie-class unkind preditorial
purposes against innocent targets..?
Is there such a program as a “file scrubber”..? ..sort of like how "cat
owners must sift cat-poo out of a cat’s sand-toilet, in being an
extension of a cat's toilet”...
Can there be a “clean-room”.. ”a mud-room" program in-front of a word
edit file..? like “a cap”.. or “roof”.. or “splash”...
In my new concept OS, in this PC worn as a skin-graft, it be full of
running internal auto-cleaners... I’d have built it long ago, but this
culture fears new stuff that makes them think too much, cuz thinking
makes their heads hurt.. They beat me up, so I gave up on‘em, and dumped
the all the science... They can go do it with their own ultra-genius
brains and minds...
I find the odd downloaded-pix slows down the PC a lot at times.. I'm
supposing they have bugs in them.. Is there a Linux program that cleans
a downloaded pix-file 100%..?
Is Clam sufficient, or does Clam need some serious customizing to clean
spyware-buggy pix-files..?

Re: imac on lan, printing to f14: network host '192.168.2.8' is busy, will retry in 30 seconds

On my f14 I ran 'system-config-firewall' and checked the IPP box,
Network Printing Server (IPP)
as I responded to emilio, I am now stuck on 'paused printing'.
I guess this is better than 'busy'............
>On any of the client computers, the firewall must be opened to allow

uhh, my iMac is the client trying to print to a printer on the f14 server.
So my iMac doesnt have network printing clients, the iMac is the client.
Are you saying that in this case
my iMac needs 'firewall opened to allow network printing clients'?

My previous rececent experience [on my older version of
f14(preupgrade from f12)]
says I _do_ need to do some configuring of CUPS on the iMac:
(shown to me by Ted Roche on this list):
need on iMac for 'cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=cups';
without that, the iMac then couldn't even see the f14 printer.
thanks for your response

System-wide profiles don't seem to find debug information since Fedora 15
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
I have been using Sysprof for quite some time, but with Fedora 15 it
stopped working properly.
Where it presented pretty stack-traces including timings in Fedora 14
when debuginfo-packages where installed, it just presents very cryptic
and less informative information since F15 - usually this was only the
case when debuginfo-packages were not installed.
Today I tried oprofile instead, but got the same results - I just get
results with binary granularity:

Linpsk audio -
by Bob Goodwin
Does anyone have experience getting Linpsk to work in F-15. I
can see audio in the Pulse Audio Volume Control GUI but it
doesn't seem to reach the Linpsk input. I am not aware of any
sound problems with this computer so it has to be something I
have misconfigured but I'm not sure where to look next.
Suggestions from anyone who has done this would be appreciated.

HELP!!! System messed up!
by John Aldrich
A little while ago I inadvertently killed power to my F15 box. Now I'm
unable to get a better screen size than 1024X768 (previous was
1280x1024) as well I'm having problems with my keyboard and mouse. The
keyboard will suddenly not work any more (i.e. I can't type) and the
mouse will somewhat work -- I can open a new console, etc, but I can't
make that the "active" window.
I have already tried using the nvidia-xconfig, but that screws it up
worse. (yes, I have an nVidia graphics chipset -- driver is noveau
according to /proc/modules)
If I have an xorg.conf file it REALLY hoses the system and I don't get
ANY graphics whatsoever and I have to rely on SSH-ing into the box to
init 3, delete the xorg.conf and restart x, at which time it's
somewhat normal.
Anyone got any ideas what the heck I did and how to fix it?

OT: need bash help
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
I'm trying to write a bash script and having problems.
If I execute this:
ps x | grep mongod | wc -l
it returns a value.
OTOH, if I execute this:
LINES = ps x | grep mongod | wc -l
it returns "command not found".
How does one assign the output of a command to an environment variable?
TIA,
Mike Wright

Re: restricted shell
by Hugh Caley
Not precisely what you are requesting, but the "sudo" command could be
used to allow your admin root access to certain commands only.
See "man sudo" and "man visudo". The /etc/sudoers file has examples of
this sort of functionality, but should only be edited using the visudo
utility.

You can look into "chroot"ing, where the other person has a different
root directory, and all the sub-directories, and you copy the commands
that they're allowed to use into their directory tree.
Of course, to do this properly, you also need to make sure that they
can't use a compiler, else they can create their own commands.

Would it not be appropriate for Fedora to pay some kind of tribute to the
late and recently deceased Dennis Ritchie?
