how to make user account partially bi-lingual?
by William Mattison 20 May '13

20 May '13

(Fedora-18; all desktops) A user needs all * menu entries, buttons, prompts, messages, application icon labels, etc. within * desktops (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, etc.), all LibreOffice applications, vi, etc. to be English. But he needs to be able to both * enter and view text in both * English and simplified Chinese within * vi, all LibreOffice applications, internet e-mail (Yahoo mail, gmail, etc.), etc. where most files/messages will contain a mix of English and simplified Chinese. How does root and/or the user set up his account so he always has these abilities? In effect, we want the account to be bi-lingual, with English as the primary language, and simplified Chinese being a secondary language. Thank-you in advance for your help. Bill.

Ok, so where do mysql bugs go, these days?
by Sam Varshavchik 20 May '13

20 May '13

So, I've been tearing apart mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.11-1.fc18.x86_64 And I've tracked down some horrible breakage there that needs to be fixed upstream. Given the state of mysql in the distro, and the pending move to mariadb, I'm wondering where the best place to report this bug would be. I find nothing but Oracle's bureaucratease, when I try to dig around mysql.com.

What's the real-world usage of a TPM module?
by Fernando Cassia 20 May '13

20 May '13

Since my last system includes a TPM I'm curious as to what is the real world usage of it in Linux. I've read that Truecrypt choose not to use TPMs.... So, anything else? using it to encrypt my Mozilla password store? I have to say that the first result of a Google search seems a bit convoluted and intimidating to the uninitiated https://www.grounation.org/index.php?post/2008/07/04/8-how-to-use-a-tpm-wit… TIA for your collective wisdom...

I have thought about Mailman as I've used it before for my charity work. However, I do think that as you say, it sends emails as groups to addresses with the same MX records which will not resolve my main problem. Gary -- Gary Stainburn Group I.T.

Yum kernel upgrades don't boot
by Bill Davidsen 20 May '13

20 May '13

It appears the when a kernel upgrade is applied by yum, the rebuild of grub2.conf seems to reset the kernel command lines to default, dropping options to use working video and network drivers and stable clocks. Even the vital "nomodeset" option is dropped from the old stanzas in the original grub2.config. Is this part of the war on using vendor drivers? Booting into a system with an unstable clock, no video even text in runlevel 3, and no working network doesn't make a upgrade easy. So is dropping the kernel command line options a bug, or deliberate policy? -- 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. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010

Rant of the day: Insane dependencies for liveusb-creator
by Fernando Cassia 20 May '13

20 May '13

14 packages, 104 MB installed.... just for a simple GUI that calls other low-level system utils... Sheesh... Thinking that liveusb-creator is often run from LiveCD, wouldn't it be nice to create a statically linked liveusb-creator that can be downloaded as a single binary and run?. Furthermore, such statically linked executable could be compressed with the UPX executable compressor... //// # yum install liveusb-creator Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto Determining

Can't open port in firewalld
by আনন্দ কুমার সমাদ্দার Ananda Samaddar 18 May '13

18 May '13

Hello all, So I've found out that by default my script controlled ethernet connection is in the public zone in firewalld. I however cannot open a port for Transmission, the torrent client. I set Transmission to use the static default port 51413. I then do the following: firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=51413/tcp firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=51413/udp Transmission shows the port as closed. It's definitely a firewalld issue. As soon as I disable firewalld by using systemd the port is shown as open in Transmission. Am I doing something wrong here? thanks, Ananda
