Advice: remote 3D games using Spice
by Jamie Bohr 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

I am getting ready to build a new PC for games and am looking for advice surrounding remote game play via Spice. My family is into playing Disney's Toontown which only works on Windows or Mac. Each family member has a PC that is aging and has trouble playing newer games; I would like to purchase or build a single computer that can handle at least two remote games. I know the video card will have to be powerful. I am looking for advice on whether playing 3D games will work over Spice. Thank you, -- Jamie Bohr

You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: http://ledauphine.fr/fr/javascript/v3/jquery.pack.js:3515 Then: Script: http://connect.facebook.net/fr_FR/all.js#xfbml=1:123 It may be a java issue.

converting text to pdf
by lee 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hi, is there any good way to get the paper to be in landscape as well as the text, for pdf files created with paps --cpi 20 --font="DejaVu Sans Mono" --landscape somefile.txt |ps2pdf - somefile.pdf This prints the text in landscape, and the paper shows in portrait so you need to turn your head when displaying the file with xpdf :( I'm currently using enscript which requires to recode UTF-8..latin1 the files before using enscript on them, and apparently enscript only understands AFM fonts. The result isn't as pretty, but at least the paper is in landscape, too. Landscape is important because the files to convert are basically emacs org mode tables, and I can't do them in LaTeX because tables that could go over multiple pages are a major pita with LaTeX. Maybe they can more reasonably be converted by emacs itself in batch mode and I just haven't found out how to do that? -- Fedora 18

DRC
by lee 15 Jun '13

Hi, since we're stuck with pulseaudio, how do I enable DRC? If pulseaudio can't do that, how would I get rid of pulseaudio? System wide DRC would be the only useful feature it would have for me. -- Fedora 18

Dual screen video display problem
by Robin Laing 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

Hello, I have had a video display issue after an update a few months ago. I cannot post from work due to mail filters so I am posting from another account so responses will be slower. Fedora 18, 64bit, clean install using nvidia graphics with Nouveau using KDE. Both monitors are the same make and model. Purchased at the same time. Before the problem occurred, I would boot and get all messages on the left screen until the X server started. If the screen saver locked the screen, the unlock dialog box would be on the left screen (screen 0). I could run KDE with effects enabled. The first indication of a problem was the reboot after the kernel upgrade and error messages about the KDE desktop effects not being able to run. Due to work schedule, I couldn't deal with the problem before now. Now, when I boot, the left display shows the BIOS boot and then the displays enter mirror mode. When the X server kicks in and KDE starts, the display goes to side by side as expected. The desktop works as side by side when I can drag windows between the monitors and virtual desktops as expected, just slower. I cannot run any of the KDE desktop effects. When the screen saver kicks in, it is a different screen savers on each monitor, not one across both. Previously it was one screen saver across both monitors. Using the Galaxy screen saver, the star movements would go between the screens. Now there are two different galaxy scenes and motions. If I move the trackball, I get a unlock dialog box on both screens but they are not mirrored. If I enter a password in to either dialog box, the desktop unlocks. I cannot use anything that requires a full screen such as You Tube videos in a browser or any game. I have gone through the settings in Grub and tried different desktop settings. Nothing I can find on the net has pointed me in the right direction on this matter. This setup has worked flawlessly for two years now and worked well until the update. Due to this issue, the system runs slower when moving between screens or virtual desktops. Lack of full screen is a pain for some things. No Tux Extreme racer unless I want mirrored action. I have tried changing the "GRUB_GFXMODE=" with no success. Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 298mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1680x1050 59.9 1600x900 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1280x800 59.9 1280x720 60.0 1024x768 60.0 1024x576 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 60.0 DVI-I-2 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 298mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1680x1050 59.9 1600x900 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1280x800 59.9 1280x720 60.0 1024x768 60.0 1024x576 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 60.0 I hope someone can point me in the right direction to get operation back to normal.

rsyslogd suddenly went crazy (120% cpu)
by Clemens Eisserer 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

Hi, I am running Fedora 19 + updates-testing and suddenly rsyslogd went crazy, and is now consuming constantly 120% cpu (and is also constantly expanding allocated memory). I first thought it could have something to do with updates I've applied recently, so I rolled back to an older btrfs-snapshot - which however didn't improve the situation. I've recorded some stack-traces: http://pastebin.com/ikwC3h4g When executing "tail -f /var/log/messages" I get the same messages from 16. and 17. May over and over again. Any ideas what could cause these problems? Thank you in advance, Clemens

Split memdisk out of syslinux package?
by Tom Horsley 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

I've just been experimenting with ways to backup and update my BIOS without windows, without a floppy, and without burning actual CD media. Google led me to this: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#GRUB2 It works great. I was able to make this grub2 menu entry: menuentry "Boot Freedos 1.1" { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos1' linux16 /syslinux/memdisk initrd16 /syslinux/FD11-144.IMG } It boots a freedos floppy image and from there I can access a FAT USB stick which has the BIOS utility and images on it. However, to get that /syslinux/memdisk boot image, I had to download the syslinux rpm and use rpm2cpio to extract it - all the info I could find in the fedora docs seem to indicate that actually installing the syslinux rpm will result in getting switched to the syslinux boot loader. It would be handy if this memdisk bit were a separate package that wouldn't interfere with my grub2 boot loader, but I could just use independently with grub2 like this.

fastCGI
by Rafnews 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

Hi, i have a webserver (apache 2.4/php5/mysql 5.6) and i want to be sure it is setup to use FastCGI. when i execute phpinfo(); i can see (in loaded modules): [CODE] mod_proxy_fcgi mod_proxy_scgi mod_cgi mod_php5 [/CODE] however using my standard fedora user account, Ii still can not edit/remove/move files/folders owned by apache user account. while searching on internet i discovered that fastCGI should allow me (using my fedora user account) to do such thing, even if files/folders are owned by apache user account. therefore i deduced that fastCGI doesn't work properly on my webserver. Please, could you tell me how can i be sure that fastCGI runs well on my webserver and that i use it correctly ? thx
