Changing the gid and perms on a device
by JD 03 May '11

03 May '11

I have a flash disk which is detected as /dev/sdc I need to use it as a virtualbox device. So I created a vmdk for the disk and registered it. Furthermore, virtualbox requires that in order to use the device, the device must belong to the group vboxusers. So I chmod'ed it to vboxusers. But somehow magically, it reverts back to being owned by the group disks. I have disabled selinux. So I have no idea what/who is changing it back. This is the reason why I am asking this list. The virtualbox list does not seem to have an answer.

This is the default in F15/F16 fresh installs. Ah, OK, if the default has changed for F15/F16 then it is not worthwhile to raise an issue for F14. The packages I built work so I am happy. Thanks for your comments.

Firefox Gnome cannot "save as" to a new folder
by Mick M. 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hello; I am able to create a new folder under KDE using Firefox. In Gnome I select "Save Page As" then "Create Folder" I get the drop down box for 2 seconds and it closes. KDE lets me enter a name for the folder, press the rectangle at the end, and save. This is F14 fully updated as of today. Thanks Mick M Standard guarantee applies - 30 feet or 30 seconds, whichever comes first. # find / -name "*your base*" -exec chown us:us {} \;

PDF manipulation software
by Rich Mahn 03 May '11

03 May '11

I have dozens of PDF files containing a few thousand scanned images that I need to organize. I am looking for suggestions for PDF software that will: - rotate pages, groups of pages, or entire PDF files - re-order pages - move/copy pages from one PDF file to another without re-imaging (or whatever the term is) so as not to degrade the images. Also desirable but not necesary would be: - the ability to add indexes/tables of contents - annotation/notes as an adjunct on the page What possibilities are available for Fedora? or even Windoze? (I can run Windoze under a VM, or possibly even use wine, depending on the software.)

Increasing disk size of FC14 image running under Win7
by Tod Thomas 03 May '11

03 May '11

I've installed VirtualBox on a Win7 workstation and established a running FC14 VM. Everything was fine until I tried doing a yum upgrade and then I discovered my boot partition needed to be at least 7GB! to be able to perform the upgrade. I've already gone into the VirtualBox interface and increased the virtual disk size, but does anyone have any working hints on using the GParted iso to increase the size of my VM boot partition? Also, why didn't FC14 establish an adequately sized boot partition during installation? Seems odd the default install would be setup to create a boot partition too small to ever perform a subsequent upgrade. Did I miss something? Is there a way to point yum to some other place on disk to allow the upgrade to complete? Thanks - Tod

xterm vs gnome terminal
by JD 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi all, I use cscope often for quick "search and fix" activities :) cscope lets the user to set up and env var called VIEWER in order to pop a separate window in which to view/edit the file which the selects from the list of files found. My VIEWER env var has been set for a long time to a shell script which invokes an xterm as follows: $ echo $VIEWER /home/jd/bin/viewer $ cat /home/jd/bin/viewer #!/bin/sh xterm -fn 12x24 -bg white -fg black -e vi $* & How can I replace xterm with gnome-terminal? I tried to simply change xterm to gnome-terminal but gnome-terminal does not recognize the args and never executes vi on the file selected. Thanx for any hints, tips....etc.

Firefox contrast
by Mick M. 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hello; I am using the latest version of Firefox, under F14 fully updated and KDE. What I would like to know is how to heighten the contrast of the drop down menu. E.g. - bookmarks, the one under the cursor is very low contrast. Normal is black on white, under the mouse cursor changes to white on light grey - so it becomes invisible. I have changed themes and skins to no avail. Thanks Mick M. Standard guarantee applies - 30 feet or 30 seconds, whichever comes first. # find / -name "*your base*" -exec chown us:us {} \;
