Serial Port for Root Only
by mike 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

I have a USB serial adapter I am trying to use as a seial console device for putty. It is identified and works like a champ for root but will not work for any other user. For anyone other than root putty returns "Unable to Open Port". I have checked proc/bus/usb/devices and can find nothing that would restrict use. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? Thanks

Alpine will not show attachments
by Tom Diehl 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Hi, I am running alpine-2.00-1.fc10.x86_64 on an F10 box. If I get a message with an html or file attachment and I try to open it, I get an error that "Firefox can't find the file at /tmp/img--46112.htm" The correct program opens up but I always get the can't find file errors. If the message contains a URL then it comes up and displays properly. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem?

Automatically added to Bugzilla CC list
by Piscium 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

I would like to be automatically added to the CC list for a bug on Bugzilla after I report it. However in spite of having in my Bugzilla preferences the setting "Automatically add me to the CC list of bugs I change" = "Always", automatic adding is not working. Any ideas?

Fedora 14 + ATI Video Drivers + VLC
by Frank Tanner III 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Does anyone know of any issues regarding VLC in Fedora 14 with ATI Video drivers? I'm running into a huge memory leak issue when I play a video in VLC. The video plays fine for about 30 or 45 seconds then memory utilization goes through the roof. By through the roof, I mean it jumps to about 18GB of RAM before I can get the process killed. Other video utilities like Dragon Player and the others don't seem to have this issue. Thanks. -- --------------------------------------------------- Frank Tanner III (pctech(a)mybellybutton.com) ICQ: 1730844 AIM: KalokSundancer MSN: pctech(a)mybellybutton.com YIM: fbtanner

Home virtual topo map advice?
by Beartooth 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

I have four legacy suites of map software (Garmin and three others that I care less about) and four different GPSs (all Garmin), with a dozen years' accumulation of waypoints, routes, etc. Wine under Fedora usually (not always, for some reason) lets me install and run the Garmin suite and one other; but it does not enable the software to talk to the GPSs (which all use a serial port -- and no serial/USB adapter I know of helps). I've looked, every couple of years, at various linux-native map software, and always found a learning curve that would be beyond whatever life and strength I may have left -- even if I were sure it could digest my legacy data. So, afaict, the alternative is to install a virtual M$ under one of the virtualization packages, and run my legacy software under that. It will almost never get a connection to the Net, other than updates from Garmin. Has anyone here done this? Is one package more user-friendly than another? The last time I looked at one, two or three years ago (and I disremember which), it had a learning curve as daunting as linux-native map software .... Is there a pons asinorum for such a project anywhere?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

more problems with fc14 as vm guests
by Barry 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

I'm running several kvm vm's on a centos5.6 system. I have an FC13 guest that is working fine. I had two working FC14 guests, and each one broke when I updated to kernel 2.6.35.12-90.fc14.i686 One broke a couple weeks ago, so I delayed updating the second FC14 guest, which was running kernel 2.6.25.12-88.fc14.i686 -- until today. I had installed both FC14s with the default LVM layout. In both cases, the update seemed to be proceeding but toward the end, when I wasn't looking, both times the guest just shut down by itself. And in both cases when I tried to boot, I the failure involved not being able to mount the root fs, but the systems fail differently. In one case, I am dropped directly into the grub shell, but grub cannot find root. In the other case, I can get the regular grub menu, but whether I choose the new kernel or the earlier kernel, I get a kernel panic. thanks in advance. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow

gcc vs. icc
by Patrick Dupre 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hello, I observed better performances by using icc comparer to gcc-4.4.5 (50 to 100%). Of course the binary code is bigger. Is it normal ?

Firefox / Compiz problem to mull over with someone.
by Bill Case 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi; My problem is not a big one or a rush. It is just gotten under my skin and would like help with a fix or a hack or something. Problem: I can't get Compiz at startup to place Firefox on viewport (workspace) #2 at startup or login. Information: Using Firefox 3.6.16 and Compiz 0.8.6 I have four horizontal workspaces on my bottom panel. One of the workspaces (#2) I want to dedicate to Firefox. My Start Applications program has a bash script that is supposed to delay the start of Firefox, i.e. "sleep 15; firefox & exit". It is one of my attempts at a workaround. Through the CCSM Place Windows plugin I have set up the following Viewport positioned windows: (title=Firefox$ | class=Firefox-bin X Viewport Postions: 2 Y Viewport Postions: 1 What happens: At startup, either login or restart, Firefox opens in viewport #2 very briefly then moves itself to viewport #1. If at startup, because of my delay script, I can get the focus onto viewport #2 with my mouse, then Firefox will open on #2 and stay there. During a session, after start up is completed, I can close Firefox, focus on any viewport and when I re-launch Firefox it will automatically open in viewport #2 as it should. What I think is happening is that at startup, the workspace switcher applet is stealing the focus from Firefox and placing the focus where the workspace switcher wants the focus, namely workspace #1. I am asking if anyone has any suggestions on how to make compiz retain the proper placement or how to change the focus on the workspace switcher applet to workspace #2 at startup? What I have tried: I have googled. Other people with earlier versions of Ubuntu have filed bugs on the same issue. No replies. Asked on the Compiz user manual, site, mailsite and chat. I was told to wait for Compiz version 0.9 with no guarantee there was a fix coming. I think it requires the synchronization of too many small programs, applets and scripts to get a real answer. In any case, by now this has become more of an intriguing problem for me to solve than just a hassle or a frustration. Does anyone want to take time to consider and offer some possible solutions or workarounds? -- Regards Bill Fedora 14, Gnome 2.32 Evo.2.32, Emacs 23.2.1

You need a driver that will increase voltage to the usb port you are plugged into. Alan
