My eyes! My eyes!
by Christopher Svanefalk 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Dear all, I just wanted to ask if someone has any advice to themes for Gnome2 (I am running F14) that are reputed to be gentle on the eyes? I work very much on the computer, and it does wear my eyes down after a while with the standard color settings. Friend of mine is using green background and stuff and says it helps, but I would rather find a full-blown theme if possible. Any tips? Thanks in advance! Chris

Fedora Security and the Uverse 3800HGV-B router
by JD 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

I am writing this message with the hope that someone on this list has this uverse router.' When I use Firefox to browse to this router (192.168.1.254), it displays the "Home" machines connected to the network. For each machine it displays: a tv icon, it's name, and a link named "Access FIles" and another link named "Device Details". If I click on any machine's "Acess FIles" link, it displays my Fedora's / directory completely. I have no ftp daemon running. I have no apache running. In fact I do not have ANY internet server running. So how in blazes is the router able to display my entire system's files? If I aim my browser at my own IP address, I get Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.201. So how is the router doing it? This is a very disconcerting security hole and I have not been able to nail it down to any daemon running on my Fedora. Thanks for your insights. JD

Gnome Planner and Database support
by Chris Kottaridis 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

I am running Fedora 14. I want to use the planner for small personal projects and I want to be able to view my plan from different hosts around the house. In the docs for Gnome Planner it says you can save to a PostgreSQL database. So, I set u pa PostgresSQL database per the instructions in the planner help User Guide. I have the PostgresSQL running. I can use pgAdmin III to connect to it and can see the plannerdb that the instrucitons have you initialize. So, I sit down at the host that I had previous saved the plan to a file and the instructions say to save to a database use: File->Export->Save to Database But, no such option appears in the Export drop down menu. Only Planner 0.11 Format HTML I am assuming the database option isn't configured somehow or wasn't compiled in or something. Anyone know how to get the database option available in gnome planner? Thanks Chris Kottaridis

problem with cron.d/0hourly
by Paul Allen Newell 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

In a fresh install of f14 x86_64, I am getting a failure when /etc/cron.d/0hourly is run. As it is a fresh install, I am pretty certain it is a potential bug. I searched the bug base under "cron", "cron.d", "crontab", and "run-parts" (the call that is in 0hourly), but didn't see anything. I submitted Bug 718448 about it and, per Bugzilla home page suggestion, am querying the community to see if anyone knows about this and/or has a solution (if there is a solution, be it pilot error or Fedora, I will update or, hopefully, close the bug). The summation of the issue is "the default install provided a 0hourly that fails" Thanks in advance, Paul

Bash: (foo==0)?foo=1:foo=0 valid?
by Dan Thurman 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

I seem to forget my shell programming but is the following statement valid? ($foo==0)?foo=1:foo=0 I thought it was called the tristate conditional operator but in any case I could not find it in google.

02 Jul '11

Hello, I Installed f15 -gnome, but I didn't like, I couldn't find any thing and after a couple of days of struggling I decided that I had need to do some work and relearn a completely a new way to find my way around I decided to install f15-KDE here all thaw I never used before I was able to do more in less time learning. I found, however, a problem with Acrobat reader. I accessed the Atmel side and try to load a spec sheet for a AT24C16 before installing acrobat, didn't do any thing but a message saying it was required Acrobat reader. I downloaded and installed Acrobat and try again I got the same result, however, I try by double click on pdf file and Acrobat ran and loaded the file OK (the screen was scrambled at the very beginning and cleared out as soon the file was loaded). By the way, I try to download the spec sheet using another computer and worked OK. I will appreciate if some one can help me out

installing F-15 on Mac
by linuxnutster＠videotron.ca 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

I have a friend with an intel-based i-mac. He seems interested in trying linux. I assume fedora can be installed on Mac and it can also dualboot? The google info was a bit sketchy. Answers on this list tend to be far more precise. GW.

f15 sync slow after couple of days
by Rich Emberson 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

When I first start my machine, a sync takes less than a second and compiling a small Java project takse 34 seconds. After running for two days, a sync takes 25 to 30 seconds (and running sync just after a sync still takes that long) and compiling the same Java project takes 5 to 8 minutes. Where do I look to try and find out what is slowing stuff down? I've got 1 500M, 2 1T and 1 2T disks on the system. Thanks
