Extraordinary delay in accessing web-site
by Timothy Murphy 05 May '13

05 May '13

I have a Linksys WVC54GCA camera in a remote site, which I access at http://xyz.com:8080 on one of my Fedora-18 laptops. For some reason there is now a delay of an hour or so in getting the image on my laptop. This occurs on both my Fedora-18/KDE laptops, whether connected by WiFi or ethernet, and whether using Firefox, Chrome or Konqueror. But it does not occur - I get an immediate view - running Windows XP on the same laptops, or on my server running CentOS-6.4. With Firefox I get the message "Connecting to ..." and then (endlessly) "Transferring data from ...". Any enlightenment gratefully received.

screenshot running on bootup
by Mike Wright 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hi all, Running f18 installed from the xfce spin. Starting this morning f18 runs 75 copies of the Screenshot accessory every time I boot. I don't think I've ever even used it. And for whatever reason yum no longer knows anything about /Screenshot or shutter. Anybody know the current name of that tool? TIA, Mike Wright

autofs mount point on same box?
by Frank Murphy 05 May '13

05 May '13

Can a autofs mountpoint be used on the same pc? man autofs if from 1997, still talks about ~/init* Box has: /md0 (boot,/) /md1 (home) /md2 (/shareyumcache) /dev/sdg (swap) [can't see a benefit in raiding swap] I want to use autofs to mount /md2 into "/var/cache" so the result is: /var/cache/yum/... autofs.shareyum yum (mount options) 127.0.0.1://shareyumcache would that be correct? -- Regards, Frank - I check for new mail every 20min www.frankly3d.com

Using Chromium instead of Chrome?
by Anthony 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hello Everyone, I have both Chrome and Chromium installed on my machine. I have Chromium set up as the default browser which usually has worked as expected. However, when I click a link in Thunderbird, it opens up in regular Chrome instead of Chromium. Any idea how I can change this behavior? I've already looked at the "Preferred Applications" section of the Settings Manager and it says Chromium is set as the default browser. Do I need to change something else? Using Fedora 18 with XFCE. Thanks, Anthony

But ignoring your smart a$$ reply. I can see why you are being moderated. I have been using an 'rpm based' Linux since 1996 or so. To the best of my knowledge what you want has never be able to do. I, personally, have added an alias to my .bashrc and named it rpmq that calls this feature. example rpmq ConsoleKit. I'm sorry I offered to help. I promise to never try again. Have a great day. -- David

If you have both i686 and x86_64 packages, such a libs, it lists both (all). No need search with version or arch.

F17: grub2 not honoring default
by sean darcy 04 May '13

04 May '13

On F17, grub2-2.0-0.39.fc17.x86_64 On a remote machine, I'm trying to boot 3.8.8-100, but I keep getting 3.8.11-100. I set the default to 3, which given the 0 based counting, means the 4th stanza: /etc/default/grub: GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora" GRUB_DEFAULT=3 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8" Which is reflected in grub.cfg, but it still boots 3.8.11-100. I've also tried default "4". Still 3.8.11-100.
