adding evince to panel in xfce
by Alexander Volovics 31 May '11

31 May '11

Xfce seems to have some difficulty with gnome apps. For example I can add gedit to a panel without problems but it seems to be impossible to do this with evince. Is this a known quirk of xfce or can I still do this in a roundabout way? Alexander

Unable to disable sshd by "setup"?
by H Xu 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hello, I've used the "setup" program to uncheck "sshd", however, sshd still starts up after I reboot. This doesn't happen on FC14. Then I tried to use setup to disable other daemons, it seems that they all disobeyed. Anyone knows what's going on here? Thanks. Regards, H Xu 05/31/2011

Internet connection issue
by Alex 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hey all, I've had this issue for a while, and since I just found this mailing list, I figured I'd give it a shot. I've been using Fedora for about six months now, and one thing I noticed is that whenever I'm downloading anything (Fedora updates, random files in Firefox, torrents etc..) my internet connection slows to a crawl. It affects the rest of the network as well. If I'm downloading Ubuntu updates for example, it takes 2-3 minutes just to load Google sometimes, and the other people in the house on the computer at the same time notice it as well. I've gotten to the point where I have to wait until late at night to download anything. One thing that makes me think it's something with Linux is that I have the same issue in , but it does not occur when I download using Windows. When I download in Windows (XP, Vista whichever), it doesn't affect my ability to browse the web (or any other computers in the house for that matter). I'm just curious if anybody has ever heard of this issue. I'm done everything I can think of (look at router settings, reseting my router to factory settings and such) and I'm just not sure what is going on. The only connection I've made is that it happens in Linux and not in Windows. If anybody can shed any light into a fix or something I can try, I would definitely appreciate it!

No ethernet connection -
by Bob Goodwin 31 May '11

31 May '11

New F-15 install. How is the ethernet connection made/assigned, whatever? I made some changes via chkconfig and lost eth0 and eth1. Ethtool simply reports no devices. Is there a routine for setting up eth"x" or does it just have to happen automatically? That seems unlikely. I keep thinking it's simpler to re-install than mess with troubleshooting some of these problems, perhaps F14 which I know works for me. It is a learning experience however, if nothing else I am learning what not to do! Help appreciated. Bob --

Unable to copy my Kodak Cam Photos
by JD 31 May '11

31 May '11

I can view the list of photos in my Kodak Camera in /sdb3/home/jd/.gvfs/gphoto2 mount on usb%3A003,008/store_00010001/DCIM/100V1253 I used shotwell (shotwell-0.8.1-3.fc14.i686) to import all of them. I already had 2 large directories of photos in ~/Pictures/2011 and in ~/Pictures/2010 However, as soon as I started to import the photos, shotwell destroyed the directory contents of ~/Pictures/2011 and in ~/Pictures/2010 Users beware! This software does and will destroy your collection too!

/var/log/messages question
by Tom Horsley 31 May '11

31 May '11

Just for curiosity, why has no one ever arranged to log something like "Hey! I'm booting the system again!" as the very first line in that goes to /var/log/messages when the system is booting? If would be real convenient to have a known string to search for that always precedes the rest of the messages in a new boot.

"hald" just won't die
by John Wendel 30 May '11

30 May '11

I just did an F15 LXDE install on an old laptop (incidently, best install I've ever done, bravo LXDE quys). Now I see 9 processes with "hald" in their name, and 3 processes named "udevd" running. I thought hal was supposed to be gone. I also see udisk-daemon and hald-addon-storage both polling /dev/sr0. This is a really low-end laptop, can I get rid of any of the hal stuff? Thanks John

Gnome 3 Nautilus and OEFIIOW (Open Each Folder in Its Own Window...)
by Fernando Cassia 30 May '11

30 May '11

OK, updated to F15, no major complains so far, except for the extremelly round window corner borders, and excessive Mac-ism of it all (and super large app title bar, what's with that?). Getting acquainted with Gnome 3... It's not very annoying... just will take a while to get used to it, I think. I really like the apps search feature on the desktop... but I was used to having everything in subfolders and with clicking. Still, the command line junkie in me kinda likes typing to launch apps instead of mouse-manouvering. But the super-annoying prize goes to Nautilus. Not only have they made the folder view default to "click replaces current folder contents", but also when you disable it (Edit->Preferences, Select "Behavior" tab) and click "Open each folder in its own window" it behaves as I'd expect with the only exception that single-clicking on any subfolder on the sidebar, instead of changing the current window contents to the desired one, opens a new folder !! this is insane). So, is there a way to make DOUBLE CLICKS open a new window, but single click on the sidebar just change the current folder view contents?. That's how I expect a filesystem browser to function... FC

How does the user theme extension work?
by Sam Varshavchik 30 May '11

30 May '11

I installed gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme. Based on my Googling, this should get me a "Themes" tab under Activities. But there's nothing there. No change after a reboot. Somebody give me a clue on how to use it.
