Well, I can tell you how it comes about, if you're asking that. Then maybe we can find out if any browser(s) tolerate it better than any other(s). Wikipedia is my usual downfall, because I try to treat it much as I would a physical encyclopedia, especially a big single-volume one -- in which case, having begun one article, I'd turn to related articles, insert scraps of paper, and go back. Say I start to read about aspirin. It's a short article, but as usual, there are several links. One or two will be short enough to click to, read, and return, without losing context. Others will turn out to be pretty long; go back, click this time to open in another tab, and resume reading about aspirin. Then still other links will refer to things I've long wanted to read about; again, open a background tab. And so on -- recursively. And if this sounds bad, be assured that when I had a carrel in the stacks of a big library (as I did for twenty years) it was an order of magnitude more onerous. The thing of it is, though, that it's so insidious. The row of tabs grows gradually, and the slowing down is also gradual, and it gets to be a little like quicksand. However, any time I'm not otherwise preoccupied, I can always read my way through a long and known to be interesting sites, closing tabs behind me. But don't do it with any browser that doesn't keep a current list of your tabs! -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

synaptics gone?
by Andras Simon 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

On an up-to-date F-17 synclient complains: "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?" And indeed, there's no sign of the synaptics driver being loaded in Xorg.log. Is there anything I could check or change? Andras

how to change character menu font in ibus？
by William Mattison 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

(Fedora-18) Using ibus's settings GUI, I configured ibus to use a size 16 kai font to display a list of simplified Chinese characters that match the pinyin that the user types to enter a simplified Chinese character. But when I try to enter Chinese characters (in vi in a Gnome terminal), the menu of characters is displayed in a smaller ming(?) font. It is the same in LibreOffice Writer. My configuration settings seems to be ignored. Chinese characters, even simplified Chinese characters, can have over 20 strokes (compare 'W' and 'M' have only 4 strokes each). The smaller size and ming(?) font is harder to read. How do I get ibus to use the kai font and bigger size in its character menus? thanks, Bill.

[F18][ATI Rage XL] Problems with install on ATI Rage XP video driver
by Aaron Gray 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

I am getting 1/4 of a screens worth of the Anaconda and runtime display on F18. It worked alright on F14 and F16. It seems to be to do with the HP DL 140 G3's ATI Rage XL video controller. The main install option gives garbage graphics and the basic graphics install option give 1/4 or less of the display on the screen. I have tried with multiple monitors but get the same results. Has X.org depreciated the ATI Rage XL video driver ? Are there any options on startup and on GRUB that may help me ? There seems to be a similar problem on Ubuntu, here's a solution :- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1086996 Many thanks in advance,

unshare strange behavoius
by David Shwatrz 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

hello, I created a mount namespace thus: I run: unshare -m /bin/bash and then mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /test cat /proc/mounts |grep test shows this: tmpfs /test tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0 from a second terminal I run: cat /proc/mounts | grep test tmpfs /test tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0 Now, the unshare -m /bin/bash should have created a private mount namespace ; why do I see the mount I performed on another terminal, which runs the default mount namespace ? according to what I know, changes in the new namespace I created should not propagate to other namespace (unless we explicitly use the share flag with mount) rgs DavidS

Keyboard LED applet
by Ian Pilcher 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Just when you think that laptop manufacturers couldn't go any farther off the rails, Lenovo has apparently decided that physical keyboard status LEDs are just too darn expensive. Does anyone know of a keyboard LED applet/widget that can be used with KDE? (An actual Plasma widget is obviously preferred, but I'll take anything that can run in the system tray.) Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying. ========================================================================

Unable to login - Cannot open font file true, previous help not working
by Alexandre Fernandes 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

I'm new on linux (Fedora) and today while trying to install google earth and MySQL http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20071021085924955/MySQL.html, after re-start the computer I got the message: cannot open font file true. I found some help such as "edit your /etc/default/grub file, and on the lie with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX there is a parameter that says SYSFONT=True". All help I found online did not work because I can't login in Fedora and therefore can't access the terminal. The only thing I'm able to use command line is GRUB that does not accept any of the usual commands. If it is not possible to solve this bug, is it there a way to do a back up of my files to an external HD from GRUB? thanks for any help! I'm bit desperate because I have quite important data. Best regards Alex
