lvm or btrfs? which is preferable (when, if applicable)
by Ranjan Maitra 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

F18 appears to give two options for installing from scratch: lvm or btrfs. Which one is better from the point of view of the longer-term. My current HDDs are ext4s. I switched then because I understood that this was the future. Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Updating from Fedora 17 to Fedora 8 using FedUp and grub2
by Edward Diener 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

I have Fedora 17 installed, using grub2, and have grub2 installed in the /boot partition and not in the MBR. I have a multi-boot manager ( Acronis OSS ) in the MBR. Everything is working fine. As I understand it I must use FedUp in fedora 17 to upgrade to Fedora 18 since the install DVD can no longer upgrade. If I use FedUp will it work in my setup, ie. the software will know to update its boot code in the /boot partition and not in the MBR ? Do I have to re-install the Fedora 18 grub2 in the /boot partition or does FedUp do it for me ? Are there any other upgrade issues for my setup ?

[OT] Folders under INBOX (re: g)
by staticsafe 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

"also, good luck with subfolders under inbox." What exactly is the problem? I have quite a lot of folders under INBOX (using Thunderbird). Sieve sorts my mailing lists subscriptions under INBOX/ML/$mailinglistname, and Thunderbird picks them up fine once you subscribe (IMAP terminology) to the folder and check the folder property checkbox - "When getting new messages for this account, always check this folder". Only time I've had issues is with MUAs on mobile devices, Android's Email app and K9 are both broken in this aspect. -- staticsafe O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please don't top post - http://goo.gl/YrmAb

Switch to KDE on Fedora 18
by Michael Eager 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

I just installed F18 from the live CD. I'm trying to install and switch to KDE. If I enter "switchdesk kde", I get a message saying to run "yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)". Yum says that Group KDE does not exist. Other than re-installing from the F18-Live-KDE CD, how can I switch desktops? -- Michael Eager eager(a)eagercon.com 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077

gtk3 theme with arrows in scrollbars?
by Tom Horsley 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Is it possible to switch to some gtk theme that will bring back the arrows I could click on in scrollbars? Or are arrows now utterly verboten in gtk3? It is almost impossible to scroll "just a little bit" through a long list by dragging the thumb.

holding a package
by Frank McCormick 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

I have compiled from source GThumb, as Fedoras package wouldn't run on my machine. My compiled version is fine. I am now concerned Yum will replace my version with Fedoras the next time GThumb is updated. Is there a way to put GThumb on hold using Yum ? Thanks -- --Cheers--

multiple audio file conversion
by Claude Jones 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Is there a way/tool to convert an entire folder of audio files from one format to another? I know Audacity will let me convert files one at a time, but I'm looking for a way to take a folder of multiple files and convert all of them at once... My files are .wav and I'm looking to create smaller compressed files to place on an iPod Touch -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
