/USR/SBIN/CROND
by Franta Hanzlík 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

CROND in Fedora 14- distros are OK, crond childs are running with this name. But, what shit are F15 crond records (usually directed to "/var/log/cron") aka: Sep 13 00:30:01 x /USR/SBIN/CROND[11095]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/... I hope that isn't next step nearer to ass of some case-insensitive OSes? It cannot have any meaningful significancy. Or I'm bad? Franta Hanzlik

Is there a way to scroll in while the theme selecting mode. Is there a limit to the number gnome-shell themes that will display on the screen. (Window-Application-Theme)

Theunderbird alternative spellchecker -
by Bob Goodwin 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

I can spell fairly well but I am a lousy typist and frequently mistype words, mostly transpose letters or drop one. The spellchecker with Thunderbird 6.0 seems worse than ever, the suggestions it lists are frequently bizarre. Has anyone else observed this and hopefully found an alternative? Bob

Fedora 15 is a lot like Windows OS's.. irritating, offensive, difficult to use with ease, nauseating to try...
by Linda McLeod 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

I love this Fedora-14, and everything Red Hat, but Fedora-15 is a lot like those vile Windows OS's.. irritating, offensive, difficult to use with ease, and gosh awful gaudy... Sorry, but to me it just is.. I tried it for a week, and formatted it off the hard drive, and snapped the CD in-two.. And I'm told that F-14 dies in a few months, which I suppose means that there won't be any more security an function updates.. A sad day on planet-earth when F-14 dies... Would someone please tell me.. Why is F-15 such a mess..? The worst thing is the jumbled up desktop.. And there's nothing in right click.. And you can't run two home files simultaneous.. I need that for script and photo editing... You can't remove a desktop image from the file.. You can't delete the top toolbar, nor the other bits of junk, to make a clean desktop... Office isn't in the program options... All in all Fedora-15 is a mess as far as I'm concerned... No offence meant in the slightest to the geniuses and lords at Red Hat.. I love the Linux core people for what they do for humanity, but this F-15 is a very bad change.. I just can't use that horrid F-15 OS.. It fights me.. It feels like it hates me.. It doesn't do what I need an OS to do.. F-15 is a just a big mistake.. You'll see... -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The way an email service should be

Howto avoid a process beeing paged out?
by Clemens Eisserer 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi, I run a time-critical application on a vServer which seems to have very little memory (even 512mb are guaranteed). Every page that hasn't been accessed the last few minutes is immediatly swapped out, and if a request comes in the system is busy many seconds loading the working-set of the application into memory again. Is there any way to prevent applications from beeing swapped out? I tried to call mlock(), but after this call dynamically loading shared libraries failed :/ Thanks, Clemens

selinux + mailman +postfix security problem (F14)
by Fulko Hew 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

On Fedora 14, I am setting up postfix and mailman. I had this working once, but I decided to yum erase postfix and mailman and redo the configuration to prove I knew how to recreate it. Turns out I don't know how to recreate a working combination because when creating a new list I now have mailman error log that talks about: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/mailman/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted) and a corresponding AVC error: Aug 25 10:28:54 (null) (null): audit(1314282534.501:4326): avc: denied { search } for pid=12121 comm=postalias name=postfix ino=295074 dev=dm-0 scontext=system_u:system_r:mailman_cgi_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:postfix_etc_t:s0 tclass=dir Suggestions?

Any way to disable wireless roaming?
by Sam Varshavchik 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

I'm in hotel with multiple access points, apparently. The wireless is a bit dodgy. I see this pop up fairly regularly in /var/log/messages: Sep 12 07:59:10 lc2440 NetworkManager[650]: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: associating → disconnected Sep 12 07:59:16 lc2440 NetworkManager[650]: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: disconnected → associating Sep 12 07:59:17 lc2440 NetworkManager[650]: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: associating → completed Sep 12 07:59:19 lc2440 NetworkManager[650]: <info> (eth1): roamed from BSSID C4:10:8A:15:ED:39 (Wyndham-Guest) to C4:10:8A:15:F6:99 (Wyndham-Guest) Sep 12 08:02:01 lc2440 NetworkManager[650]: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: completed → disconnected Sep 12 08:02:01 lc2440 NetworkManager[650]: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: disconnected → scanning Sep 12 08:02:02 lc2440 NetworkManager[650]: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: scanning → associating Sep 12 08:02:03 lc2440 NetworkManager[650]: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: associating → completed Sep 12 08:02:07 lc2440 NetworkManager[650]: <info> (eth1): roamed from BSSID C4:10:8A:15:F6:99 (Wyndham-Guest) to C4:10:8A:15:ED:49 (Wyndham-Guest) Looks like every few minutes I'm hopping between access points. Any way to disable this – latch on to one of the access points, and stick ith it?
