Avoiding LVM -
by Bob Goodwin 04 Apr '13

On 02/04/13 14:13, Joe Zeff wrote: As a home user, I don't need to resize things dynamically, and LVM is the solution to a problem I don't have. Over the last couple of years I've managed to install Fedora a few times minus LVM but I never seem to get the directory structure optimized, in fact far from it. What I need is an example of a simple directory tree with the proper sizes. I may not get to try it until F-19 is released but would like to have an example on hand, might be inspired to try redoing an F-18 LVM installation.

Fedora 17 sometimes doesn't wake up from sleep; can't find OS ???
by linux guy 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Recently the F17 (x64) install on my Dell XPS 17 isn't waking up from the sleep state. I'm not sure if I'm invoking it to go into sleep or if its an inactivity induced sleep. Prior to recently, it always woke up from sleep without any issues. Furthermore, once in a while when I reset after not being able to wake it from sleep, I'm getting an Operating System not Found error. It always finds the OS if I reset it again. Is anyone else having resume/booting issues with recent kernels after entering the sleep state ? Is anyone else experiencing OS not found issues ? uname -a Linux XPS.localdomain 3.8.4-102.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 24 13:09:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks.

Turn off monitor (TV) shutdown
by Todor Petkov 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Hello all, I have Sapphire EDGE-HD Mini PC, attached to a LG TV with HDMI cable. The OS is Fedora18, from live CD. After 1 hour, the TV turns off. I have tried several things: 1) /usr/bin/gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false 2) editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-local.conf and adding: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "ServerLayout0" Option "BlankTime" "0" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" Option "OffTime" "0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" Option "DPMS" "false" EndSection However, it does not help. When I grep DPMS in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it says: [ 26.451] Initializing built-in extension DPMS [ 26.654] (II) RADEON(0): No DPMS capabilities specified [ 26.709] (==) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled Can someone give me a hint how to disable it completely? Thanks in advance,

How do you keep contacts in Fedora/KDE?
by Timothy Murphy 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

As a matter of interest, how do those of you running Fedora/KDE keep your contacts? I have a rather messy combination of Google contacts, KAddressBook and LDAP, but would like to organise something simpler. I suspect the simplest solution might be to go over entirely to Google contacts, as I want to keep my contacts in sync with my Android phone. But what do people running Fedora/KDE usually do? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

Fedora on Samsung 15" ultrabook?
by Jack Craig 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi Folks, I am wondering if anyone has tried Fedora (17/18) on a Samsung ultrabook. http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/laptops/NP900X4C-A01US the hw specs are in the range of my desktop and i'd like to replace a lost macbook, but short on resources,... if the wireless worked, it might be a good solution. F17 is doing wonderfully on my desktop, so i wonder how about roaming?? ... anyone? Thx! jackc...

Firefox HTML5 videos with h.264 and WebM
by Thomas Waldecker 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi List, is somebody using Firefox without the Adobe Flashplugin, and using the HTML5 video features? I removed the Adobe Flashplugin. On Youtube some videos are working, some not. On Vimeo nothing works. With Midori vimeo works, youtube doesn't work. I would like firefox to support h.264 videos. Kind regards

Weird returned page from curl cmd
by bruce 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi. Trying to do a simple curl fetch of a page. I get the data, but when I compare the page to what I see in the FF/Opera browser, I get a difference. The key section on the browser is: 51% Men, 49% Women The same section from the curl is: 51.02081505702209% Men, 48.97918494297791% Women The actual test curl cmd I use is: curl -o "dee.txt" http://www.collegeview.com/schoolfacts/auburn-university-main-campus/figures It appears that the "%" causes some sort of expansion/rounding to occur in the data... Is there an attribute I should invoke that I missed. Didn't see anything when I scanned the man pages, or looked over google... Thanks
