evolution problem :messages that can't be expunged in F14
by Aaron Konstam 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

This problem is on my F14 machine. In Evolution there are two messages appearing in the Inbox list which when one trys to view them you get the following messages such as: Cannot get message 31305 from folder /home/akonstam/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/Inbox The folder appears to be irrecoverably corrupted. The error is correct. The message bodies are not in the Inbox file. I have tried the usual fixing method of executing: evolution --force-shutdown Then removing the file: /home/akonstam/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index When I start evolution again the Inbox.ibex.index file is recreated but the defective messages still appear and can not be expunged. What can I do to fix the problem? -- ======================================================================= In Nature there are neither rewards nor punishments, there are consequences. -- R.G.

"Add to Favorites" in gnome 3
by Kevin Wilson 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hi, I tried twice in fedora 15, gnome 3 , to add an application launcher to "favorites" of the side panel by right-click on an application launcher and select "dd To Favorites." An application launcher was indeed added to "favorites" of the side panel. However, after boot, the application launcher disappeared from "favorites" of the side panel! Any idea why ? rgs, Kevin

XDMCP Remote login
by Doug Kuvaas 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

OK, I have a couple Dell Optiplex 980s that I am trying to get set up for a specialized application. What I want to be able to do worked in Fedora 8 and earlier, but it has been broken since Fedora 9. PC1 I want to set up so it queries another (HP-UX) machine for a graphical CDE login to that system. I have some success starting X manually using X -query <remotehost> -from <localhost>, but I have not been able to get the computer to boot up and display the CDE login. So far I have tried a fresh Fedora 15 install with no window managers installed, and after adding the remote host to /etc/hosts and /etc/X0.hosts, as well as generating an xorg.conf file using Xorg :0 -configure, I am able to get a CDE login using X -query <remotehost> PC2, I want to set up to act like a "dumb terminal", in other words, all I want it to do is show the blank root window and a cursor unless I am sending an application to it from the HP-UX machine. I can get the blank root window that I am after using just X :0 -br -terminate, however I am not getting a cursor. PC2 is actually PC1 right now as I am just trying to establish the procedure to get both done. I do not need any kind of display manager to be installed, though they do come in handy for some of the setup. xorg.conf: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" FontPath "catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d" FontPath "built-ins" FontPath "tcp/192.168.1.56:7000" EndSection Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "extmod" Load "record" Load "dbe" Load "dri2" Load "dri" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 8 EndSubSection EndSection Installation was a standard vanilla "Graphical" installation with no window managers selected, and some of the development options selected. Kernel is 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64 The X11 application that these PCs will be running requires 8 bit color depth and a resolution of 1280x1024.

How setup fonts and themes for gnome applications on kde under Fedora 15
by Jonathan Ryshpan 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

How can the font size of gnome applications (in particular evolution) be controlled when they are being run under KDE? A method for carrying over the font (and theme) setup from KDE to gnome would be best, but an independent parallel method for font control of gnome applications would also be OK. The versions of KDE and gnome are: KDE-4.6.4, gnome-3.0.1 . Thanks - jon

Which script mounted /run in Fedora 15?
by yang.y.yi＠gmail.com 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

hi, i found Fedora 15 has a directory /run, and /var/run is symbol linked to /run, /var/lock is symbol linked to /run/lock, moreover, /run is mounted as tmpfs, but it isn't in /etc/fstab, i searched it in /etc but ddin't find any script do mount it, anybody knows where it is done, why not to do it in /etc/fstab, thanks in advance.

F15: Questions re systemd
by R. G. Newbury 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

New install of F15 on Thinkpad X61. Httpd refuses to start using: systemctl enable httpd.service; systemctl start httpd.service User:group apache:apache exists and 'owns' /var/www No httpd.service file was installed through yum. I created one containing: ************************************** # httpd.service for systemd # installed to /lib/systemd/system [Unit] Description=httpd daemon After=mysqld.service [Service] EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/httpd ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k start ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k restart PIDFile=/run/httpd.pid Type=forking User=apache Group=apache [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target **************************************** I only get 'Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details'. [FAILED] Status details are no help. I added OPTIONS=" -e 3 -E /var/log/httpd/error_log -w" to /etc/sysconfig/httpd, which systemctl status says it is executing, but I get NO error_log entries. Moreover, I get NO systems logs of any sort from systemctl/systemd. FIRST QUESTION: Where are the system logs? I do NOT have a /var/log/messages file.... Do I need to set a logging option somewhere? SECOND QUESTION: If I use '/usr/sbin/httpd -k start', it works and I get httpd threads in the ps list. Service httpd status, at that point, says that the start FAILED. Service httpd stop does not actually stop anything, nor does systemctl httpd.service stop. (Does not know the pid?) But another service httpd start, reports that httpd is already running.... Does anyone know how to get this working? My google-foo is lacking. I can find nothing about where systemd logs data. And I can find nothing about whether to remove the original (F14) service files.
