f16, vncserver, screen geometry
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
Finally have f16 installed into a xen box.
After some confusion with systemctl I managed to get vncserver hooked up
and started; however, it's config file (/etc/sysconfig/vncservers) seems
to get ignored WRT -geometry.
I use that same file on all of my other fedoras without a hitch.
I did find that I could enlarge the vnc window by using f16's
systemSettings->display but none of the the built-in resolution choices
fit my display full screen: either too small or too large with scroll bars.
Ideally vncserver would honor the -geometry setting in its config file
but since the vncserver window's size can be forced by changing the
display's size it should be possible to add another size to the list of
those available.
I guess this is two questions in one. 1) Has the config file for
vncserver moved or is f16's vncserver implementation broken? 2) Is it
possible to add a custom display size somewhere? (looking to add
1670x1020).
Thanks for any help,
Mike Wright

Memory loss after long uptime
by Konstantin Svist
Hi all,
I have a strange recurring problem on some of my servers, maybe someone
can help me figure out what might be causing it.
After running a MySQL machine with fairly high load for a while
(~month), RAM usage in top stops making sense. Normally, RES column
accounts for everything currently present in RAM (not swap) and
corresponds pretty well with mem_used-buffers-cache. This is always the
case after a fresh boot and seems to be the case on most other servers.
But that's not the case here:
59098540k used - 1633832k cached - 25824k buffers = 57438884 (54.7G)
supposedly used by all processes
sum(RES column from top) ~= 35127296k (33.5G)
So where's the other 21G??
I'm pretty sure I'm not nitpicking here, this is >30% of total system
RAM unaccounted for. I've tried stopping all non-OS specific processes
(and restarting some services that seemed to eat more RAM that they
should have (irqbalance)) -- and memory is not reclaimed.
Over the few years that I've seen this problem, I've already replaced
all the hardware and upgraded Fedora from 8 to 14 (currently running
2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64) and MySQL and other code without any sign of
improvement.
Interestingly, another machine with same hardware & OS runs MySQL in
slave mode to replicate the DB -- that machine has uptime of 134 days
and does not exhibit the same symptoms. In fact, here is its mem footprint:
63166496k used - 19786032k cached - 2881484k buffers = 40498980k (38.6G)
sum(RES column from top) ~= 45.5G (which makes sense since a few
RAM-hungry processes share memory)
Please help!

bash history
by Peter G.
I read about a shell variable called HISTIGNORE that is supposed to prevent duplicate
commands from occurring in .bash_history.
I put the following line into ~/.bash_profile:
export HISTIGNORE="&"
It's not working. I still have duplicate commands galore. Why isn't is working?

No subtitle on VLC or SMplayer
by Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor
Hello,
All on a sudden, I can't see any subtitle on smplayer or VLC . Sometimes
embedded subs work under dragon player but that's it.
How to fix this? I've tried every way I know. And yes, I'm
loading/locating the subs (.srt) every time.
Thanks :)

oxygen-icon-theme cannot update
by n2xssvv.g02gfr12930
I appear to have 2 versions installed
4.7.4-1 cannot be removed
4.8.1-1 would remove KDE as well
Unfortunately yum reports a conflict with 4.7.4-1 if I try to update to
4.8.2-1
It reports conflicts with 4.7.4-1 for most of the png files
It also reports the same problem if I try to reinstall
4.8.1-1
Any ideas?

ACER N281G
by Gregory P. Ennis
Everyone,
I picked up an ACER N281G that comes packed with linpus 3.0.0. It has a
a network connection, usb ports, and memory card reader, but no DVD. linpus is
supposed to be a Fedora based os, I would like to put F16 on this to see
if it will fly. I have never used a memory card reader to install an
os, nor a usb install, nor a network install. Any recommendations as to how to do this.
