Have I got an AT hangover?
by Joe Feely 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi, Videos (e.g. 350MB avi file of 40 minutes playback) don't play properly, goes out of sync, momentary stops (they play ok on laptop, so not corrupted). The problem seems to have started after I enabled some assistive technology, which nearly paralysed the performance of the computer. After disabling and deleting the assistive stuff (su -c "yum remove at-spi*") the computer is still performing somewhat poorly, not being able to do as much stuff as before and being generally much slower (notably when opening multiple web pages, e.g. several weather reports, about 10 tabs). I assumed that there could be something that is still kicking in and slowing the system down. Sorry to be so vague, but I don't recall any better what I did. I'm running Fedora 16, GNOME 3.2.1 is installed but I use XFCE, Kernel Linux 3.4.11-1.fc16.i686.PAE, RAM 1.2GB, Processor Intel Celeron CPU 2.4GHz, Available disk space 84GB. My computer is about 7 years old. I could reinstall the system, and I'm confident that would remove this problem, but I would much prefer to find the problem, and fix it. I have looked at some top output, but don't notice anything relevant (if anyone wants to see any of such, let me know what to do to get useful output). Any suggestions where I could start or what to look for would be welcome. TIA, Joe

What a useless package that does not solve anything, but creates new problems for everyone.

Howto: 32 bit skype, working with a webcam, on 64 bit Fedora 17
by Tim 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi, Just a heads up, in case anyone else decides (against all sanity) to try using Skype, *and* get a webcam working, on 64-bit Fedora 17, you get stymied by: Skype being only released in 32 bit Skype wanting video for Linux 1 Fedora 17 uses video for Linux 2 Web pages offering advice for Mint and Ubuntu So, yum install libv4l-(whatever).i686. In my case, today, that was: yum install libv4l-0.8.8-2.fc17.i686 Make yourself a script to launch skype with a compatibility library #!/bin/bash # # force preloading of a 32 bit video for linux 1 # compatibility library for video for linux 2 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype Use that to start up Skype, instead of its own menu item. No doubt you could put that command line into a desktop launcher, with out the bin bash shebang. And my comments aren't needed, they're just so I don't have to remember why I use that script. And you're, now, related to Bob. Tested with: skype-4.0.0.8-fc16.i586 libv4l-0.8.8-2.fc17.i686 NB: If you simply name your launch script "skype", and put it in your file search path, I don't know whether it's safe to launch Skype in the script with a one-word "skype" command. It might go around in circles. You could change my sample launch script to use the full path to skype, instead. i.e. LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype Anyone care to try this and confirm that it works for more than just me? Prior to this, I just got a black screen in Skype, instead of my webcam (which does work, if tested in VLC). I have noticed that I needed to toggle the webcam off and on a few times, in Skype, before it came to life. So you might want to test that, too. Toggle on/off, wait a moment, do the opposite. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.6.2-4.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 17 02:43:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

This is an updated [yesterday] F17/64 bit computer. Suddenly Newegg.com produces errors: Error. Page cannot be displayed. Please contact your service provider for more details. (4) Error. Page cannot be displayed. Please contact your service provider for more details. (11) I receive their e-mail messages but have been unable to display the html or switch to the browser as I usually do when I want to read their ads. I've inquired of opendns and waiting for response there. So far I've only seen this with Newegg but the problem began before I did the yum update yesterday. I believe it was working up 'til Monday. Am I the only one with a problem? Suggestions what to do welcome, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box9

umask in /etc/sysconfig/httpd not being used in Fedora 16, Fedora 17
by Ron Wagner 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi, I have been trying to setup Fedora 17 via boxgrinder as a LAMP server. What I am stuck at is getting apache httpd to use a umask of 002. I have added "umask 0002" to /etc/sysconfig/httpd but it doesn't seem to be used. I built a Fedora 15 configuration which did use the umask, then tested with Fedora 16 and found it did not work. Is this a bug or is there now a different method for setting apache's umask? Thanks Ron

However, MIME is quite capable of carrying UTF-8, and UTF-8 is expected to be used in many protocols, not just Internet mail. Fortunately, very few vendors implemented UTF-7, and its use is strongly discouraged in Internet mail." Essentially it was never a great solution to the problem it was supposed to address (didn't really beat existing methods, UTF-8 in MIME generally turned out to be better). Still, whatever reader Marko is using should be able to handle it, if it is GMail then it's a bug in that. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk
