So change it!!! Don't let them beat you into the ground; correct them! IMO, "hack" has sort of a violent sound to it, which makes me feel it is more appropriate for a forceful entry type of context, and I am not surprised that most people assume that this is what it should mean. Furthermore. where I am from "cracker" is a more or less insulting racial term so it just leads to awkwardness. I do know the history of the term "hacker" but I have zero problems with the way it is used in the media. *** Please note Gordon State College has changed all email addresses ending in @gdn.edu to @gordonstate.edu ***

Fedora hangs driving me nuts, in Windows it works without problems!
by Valent Turkovic 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

My work Fedora 17 64bit box gangs without reason, and I can't track down issue causing it! When I reboot into Windows 7 32bit it works for days without any hangs. This is a company PC so IT installed Windows 7, but I don't use it, that is why I installed Fedora and use it as my primary desktop. I'm not some guru sysadmin, but I'm not a newbie, as I have been using Linux over 10 years as my primary desktop and have few private servers that I maintain, I have troubleshooted and fixed numerous issues with mine and friends machines. My desktop works perfectly for hours, sometime for days, but after some time (usually 1-2 days) it just freezes. It doesn't matter how many free memory I have, which apps I'm runnig or which desktop I'm using. I tried leaving just desktop running with no apps, still freezes, changed desktops, kde - hangs, gnome 3 - hangs, mate - gangs, tried leaving multiple apps doing something, still hangs. I ran memory test utils, memory is working ok. These gangs are driving me nuts! Is anybody having unexplained hangs with Fedora 16 and 17 64bit? Could it be some 64bit issue because Windows is 32bit and it works? How can I troubleshoot what is causing hangs of my machine?

Sound volume in f18 and xfce
by Joseph L. Casale 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Each time I start my laptop, the sound is set to 153% or whatever max is. A tap of the slider in the panel which is at 100% resets it to 100% (and not past that) and it sounds fine. Any idea how to stop this from resetting to max each startup? Thanks! jlc

hibernate with keystroke?
by Ranjan Maitra 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Hi, I have been trying to get to hibernate using a single keystroke. So, here is what i tried: put pm-hibernate in my sudo. Checked this by using: sudo pm-hibernate This works without a hitch. Then I keyed in ctrl-f12 to be equivalent to sudo pm-hibernate. (also tried sudo /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate). Tried this, but this does not work. Pretty much nothing happens. I am quite confident that there is nothing wrong with the syntax because I replaced it with (say) slock and it locks the screen just fine. What should I be doing here? Alternatively, what is the command that is executed when I go through gnome-logout and then press hibernate? I would just like to mimic that, I guess. Many thanks for any help/suggestions!

F18: switching workspaces takes 10 seconds
by Patrick Lists 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Hi, Recently I installed F18 with GNOME on my laptop which has an ATI Radeon X1300 GPU. Switching workspaces on F17 was pretty much instantaneous. However with F18 when I switch from workspace 1 to 2 it takes about 10 seconds before workspace 2 appears. Is there something I can do to speed up this process? I use the Frippery Bottom Panel extensions so I just click on one of the configured workspaces (6 total) in the bottom right corner. Thanks, Patrick
