name of java rpm? jre native fedora java
by Antonio Olivares 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Dear folks, I am happily running Fedora 15 on several boxes. Our school will be switching from VistaNet to PowerSchool Online systems by Pearsons. We used to do attendance/grading on Vistanet and now we will use Powerschool online Gradebook which appears to need java to run. On one of my machines I have java already as I run the testers: http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp and it returns that java is present. but there is no rpm reported back: [olivares@acer-aspire-1 ~]$ rpm -qa java [olivares@acer-aspire-1 ~]$ I would like to know which rpm is the one that gives the open source/free java implementation in Fedora. This way I can install it on other machines in case it is not present and be ready to migrate to the new gradebook. Also if there are any teachers out there that have used PowerSchool Online Gradebook on Fedora and have any caveats, tips, tricks to share them. I would like to continue using Fedora/Linux to do these tasks. I had run Easy Grade Pro using wine for the last several years successfully and now the system changes again and I want to be ready. Regards, Antonio

F15: Follow-mouse focus and hacks for GNOME shell?
by Marco Guazzone 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Didn't find a way to set this type of focus under GNOME shell. Searching in the Web I've found these 2 hacks: gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode -t string sloppy or gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode -t string mouse Are they safe? Further, is there a guide to "hack" my GNOME shell. It's really nice but there's something I'd like to change, like focus mode and enable workspace cycle (if possible) Thanks!! Best, -- Marco

RPM signing problems on Fedora 15?
by Julian C. Dunn 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

I just upgraded to F15 and now I'm having problems signing my custom RPMs. Am I losing my mind here: demeter:~/rpm/SPECS$ rpmbuild --sign twirssi.spec rpm: --addsign: No such file or directory ?? and demeter:~/rpm/SPECS$ file /home/staff/jdunn/rpm/RPMS/noarch/twirssi-2.5.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm /home/staff/jdunn/rpm/RPMS/noarch/twirssi-2.5.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm: RPM v3.0 bin i386/x86_64 demeter:~/rpm/SPECS$ rpm --addsign /home/staff/jdunn/rpm/RPMS/noarch/twirssi-2.5.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm rpm: /home/staff/jdunn/rpm/RPMS/noarch/twirssi-2.5.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm: No such file or directory WTF? - Julian

Bluetooth under Fedora?
by Timothy Murphy 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Is it possible to install and setup Bluetooth under Fedora-15/KDE? I gather kbluetooth (or kdebluetooth) no longer exists, and bluez seems to be departing in favour of bluedevil, which unfortunately appears to be completely undocumented. Assuming Fedora and Bluetooth are compatible, is there a howto or tutorial explaining how a Fedora laptop can communicate with a mobile phone through bluetooth? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

txt files are associated with wine notepad?

01 Jun '11

Hello, After upgrading to FC15, txt files are automatically associated with wine notepad instead of gedit. How could I modify this and why does this happen? Thanks. Regards, H Xu 06/01/2011

Anyone have a recipe for running ddclient (updates dynamic DNS info) from systemd? The current version is written for the classic init system. Can I just install it that way? poc

Question about restarting firefox after installing add-ons
by JD 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Usually I have 6 or more FF windows, each in it's own workspace. When I install add-on and restart FF, the windows are not automatically placed in the same workspace they were in. They are all placed in the same workspace I happen to be in when I let the add-ons screen restart FF. Is this something that FF can be enhanced to accomplish? (Hoping there are FF devs on this list). Cheers, JD

Was inn tested for F15
by Sam Varshavchik 31 May '11

31 May '11

Has anyone tested inn in F15. Bug 708627 suggests that it never was. In addition to that bug, I think something keeps rm -rf-ing /var/run/news every time I reboot, which will keep inn broken even after this bug gets fixed. At least /var/run/news was missing after my first boot into F15, I fixed all off the above, but after the next reboot it was gone again.
