Indeed:

Thanks all for the many suggestions!
Strangely, just after I sent my original mail, System Monitor suddenly
decided, all on its own, to add the 2GB swap partition....??????? I
think I must have a Gremlin somewhere!
Anyway, things appear to be (back to) "normal"!
Thanks again

CPU utilization
by Luc MAIGNAN
Hi,
I want to see and/or monitor cpu utilization. I have a server that have
24 processors (6 processor x 4 core).
top only gives me global information for cpu, not per cpu (and core)
Is there a tool or a way to have these informations ?

qemu update for fc13 broken?
by Bill Davidsen
I just installed the recent qemu update on my KVM server which hosts my VMs for
local services. I stopped all VMs, did the upgrade, and reboot. Now none of the
VMs respond to mouse or have sound.
Any thoughts? x86_64, all stock Fedora stuff, critical service (why I'm working
Saturday).

Why only unstable Chromium?
by Valent Turkovic
Hi Tom,
I have been using Chromium from your repo for some time now and it was
great so far, but lately (since F14) I notices more and more crashes.
Now I see that Chromium is based on unstable beta Chrome 11 core while
there is no Chromium package based on stable Chrome 10 version.
I tried running Chrome 10 for last few days and had zero page crashed
while using same pages with Chromium 11 I get constant page crashes.
I would like to ask if it is possible to rebase Chromium package on
stable version of Chrome 10.
Thank you,
Valent.

OT? copy live ubuntu iso image to usb for boot
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
OK, I guess this would be unacceptable to ask in an Ubuntu mailing list
and I was trying to get help with a Fedora iso but since F15 has been
pushed back to be nice to mirrors because another distribution is
releasing just before the original date, I thought I would try my luck.
I am a loyal Fedora user but I have to install a Ubuntu live from an
ISO. So, with Fedora, I know what to do. Download the live iso image
and copy to usb using the following command:
sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso /dev/sdc
and everything goes through fine, with a bootable iso image created in
the process.
But when I try the following:
sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso /dev/sdc
I get:
Verifying image...
The media check is complete, the result is: NA.
No checksum information available, unable to verify media.
Are you SURE you want to continue?

Copying DVD image to USB stick

/media/usbdev.g7vFg6/syslinux is device /dev/sdc1
USB stick set up as live image!
Which is actually far less output and an useless (in terms of live or
install) iso on the usb. It is however recognized as a iso, but nothing
more useful than that.
Any suggestions on how to do this with Fedora? I prefer commandline
approaches.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

Anti-Evolution rant.
by Bill Case
Hi;
Just getting some stuff about the Evolution program off my chest. If I
can get some suggestions along the way that would be a bonus.
The only use I had for WindowsXP was using Outlook to print out my
calendar. My Windows harddisk died a month ago. It was due;it was old.
But now I have to completely rely on Evolution.
Evolution would do me just fine if I could get my calendar printed the
way I am used to and the way I want. I no longer have any PIM devices
and do I want them. I find devices just interfere with a face-to-face
conversation. I want a piece of paper on which I can write quick notes
to myself without losing eye contact. Old fashioned -- may be -- but it
is what works for me. Windows Outlook used to give me my piece of paper
tasks, appointments and all, that I could fold up and carry in my hip or
shirt pocket.
Three years ago I filled a Request for Enhancement through Gnome
Bugzilla.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470934
I seemed to have received some interest at the time so I filed a full
description with diagrams for that bug report. Nothing.
I have even offered to learn enough about Evolution programming to
create it myself. I asked for some advice on how I should get started.
(They seemed to be making programming changes at the time). I thought
needed some simple advice just to get started particularly for creating
print forms. Should it be a plugin? Can I do what I want as a Plugin?
Got nothing.
Now I am on a search for a replacement for Evolution that lets me have
some control over calendar print out forms. Can anybody help?

yum doesn't work as expected with "clean"
by Bill Davidsen
The "yum clean packages" command removes all cached rpms as desired, but leaves
all the drpm files. I wondered why my disk space was getting tight on a small
server, and that was the issue. Is that intended behavior?
I'll be happy to file a bug if not.
