"Sticky keyboard" fault?
by Bill Davidsen 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

I recently got a pop-up say "Sticky keyboard - disabled" and my keyboard stopped working. My first reaction was that the message was translated to English, and "stuck key" became "sticky keyboard." Can't think of a sensor for that. In any case, keyboard was *WAY* disabled, plugging in a USB keyboard didn't help, ssh from another machine didn't help (keystrtokes not accepted), and I finally had to reboot the machine, after migrating all the guests elsewhere or shutting them down. Major PITA. So is there (supposed to be) a way to clear that? And how does the driver tell a stuck key from a user holding a key, like a gamer holding down "F" to fire weapons, as I've seen them do. How is it detected, and please may I make it not do that? Recovery by boot is a Windows technology, they might have it patented. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have taken the first step.

I've stopped receiving mail from fedora users
by Sherman Grunewagon 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

For the past few days I've stopped receiving e-mail from the fedora list. I' checked my fedora membership mailing list config and found this: We have received some recent bounces from your address. Your current bounce score is 3.0 out of a maximum of 5.0. Please double check that your subscribed address is correct and that there are no problems with delivery to this address. Your bounce score will be automatically reset if the problems are corrected soon. I can't see anything out of order on my ymail.com account profile. (I've changed nothing.) There are no filters and no blocking set. I really don't know what to do at this point. Who should I contact and what else should I check? Any help will be appreciated!

key repeat problem
by Gary Stainburn 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Hi folks I've got a dual boot PC at home with Win-XP and Fedora 18. (I did also have the problem when it used to run Fedora 10). When in WinXP everything works perfectly. However when in Fedora the key repeat doesn't work properly. Occassionally while typing I will get 2 or 3 of the same character which is rather annoying. What is even more annoying is that when I use the backspace key to fix the problem it will sometimes delete 10 - 20 characters instead of 1-2. The keyboard is a Microsoft badged multi-media keyboard but as I didn't have to install any drivers in WinXP I think it's just the same as any other multi-media keyboard. Anyone got any ideas how I can fix it? -- Gary Stainburn Group I.T. Manager Ringways Garages http://www.ringways.co.uk

cups-pdf not installed by default, why?
by Fernando Cassia 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Ever since I started using Linux (around Y2K, Caldera 2.3) the first thing I do is install a 'print to pdf' solution. Ever since I started using Fedora (FC6) the solution is to install 'cups-pdf'. So if cups-pdf is only 47 KB big, and has no other dependencies (other than cups, which is installed by default), then why on Earth isn't it included in the LiveCD? Booting from LiveCD and being able to print to pdf (for instance, content one sees on the web and wants to mail it to someone else while testing how well Fedora works), would be a big plus, if you ask me. So, what is the official sanctioned, polite way to get things like these accomplished in future Fedora releases?

X displays test
by Richard Vickery 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

I want to know if I am late for the test. Moments ago, I read Mr. A. Williamson's email about the Intel test today, and started upgrading to Alpha over the last hour; I feel that it may to late. Am I correct in this or are the tests allowable to the 25th? Regards, Richard

recoll and mime-text
by Dave Stevens 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

I've taken the suggestion of poma from earlier to try recoll as a desktop search engine. It indexed everything nicely and is very quick. I can't seem to get attachments out of my retrieved emails. So the one I'm looking for right now has an attached .pdf, but the whole mail, headers and mime text and all, displays as ascii text. I can use recoll's 'open' command, which fires up thunderbird and shows the attachment with an automatically generated name (gibberish, more or less) but when I try to save then view the attachment gedit is showing me the ascii. I vaguely recall years ago having to manually detach mime-encoded text but don't remember details. Anyone? Dave -- The problem with being cynical is you can't keep up! -- anon. philosopher

Fw: Email clients have gone crazy
by Aaron Konstam 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

--- --- I am running F18. But suddenly this morning my e-mail clients claim not to accept my server passwd. When I open evolution it asks for a passwd whxih it has never done before. My usual mail server passwds do not work.' Thunderbird claims that my login or passwd is wrong. Where the login is my e-mail address. My mail servers are those from at&t. When I go ot the at&t web interface my email address and server passwd works. So I am very confused. Evolution did not owrk like this way yesterday or ever in the last decade. What could be wrong?

'Unknown filesystem type: exfat'
by Fernando Cassia 23 Apr '13

F18 here. I thought Linux included support for Microsoft's exFat? I get "'Unknown filesystem type: exfat' when plugging a Sandisk U3 8GB Pen Drive formattted on WinXP with Exfat... FC -- During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act - George Orwell
