"Add to Favorites" in gnome 3
by Kevin Wilson
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

Bonsoir,
In audacious preferences, there exists the possibilty to hide the
player.... When you use this, the player disappear.....
Well! And how to get it visible after that?
Erase the config file?

XDMCP Remote login
by Doug Kuvaas
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.

Installation was a standard vanilla "Graphical" installation with no window
managers selected, and some of the development options selected. Kernel is

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
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

script do mount it, anybody knows where it is done, why not to do it in

F15: Questions re systemd
by R. G. Newbury
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.

F15 on thinkpad L420, Fn+ f8 does not work
by Yuanjun
Hi,
I have just installed Fedora 15 on my thinkpad L420 laptop. The main
functionality works fine.
I have got only one problem. Fn + F8 shortcut for switching trackpoint
and touchpad doesnot work.
Other thinkpad special keys seem to work.
I have searched the web, and found something about the thinkpad-acpi,
but without success.
Best,

Thank you so much for responding. I saw that bug report. I forgot to
post back to the list with the solution. If you notice carefully, you
can see I commented on the bug report confirming the above solution
works for me. :)
