Thank Richard, Is librecad srpm available somewhere? The bad thing with qcad is that runiing from a remote machine (fedora 18) it even kill the local fedora 20 session!! Why that? I also tried FreeCAD, but my dxf files seem to be barely compatible.

example kickstart (ks.cfg)
by bruce 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hi. Looking to see how to craft a kickstart (ks.cfg) file by hand that demonstrates the overall process of setting up a hidden partition, as well as regular partitions on the drive. I'm looking to play with creating a regular install of centos (or whatever) on the main partitions, as well as do some test pre/post commands.. At the same time, I'd like to create a hidden partition that I can then do some pre/post functions to play with how the hidden partition gets created. The end goal, would be a test process that would allow me to "install"/boot into either side. As to the hidden partition, I'm assuming that this implies me creating a partition that's not viewable from the df -h commands... Or am I missing something here. Or, maybe a better question, is there a way to create a partition that I can boot into that can't be seen by the casual user using the usual system/disk cmds? >>(Looking over different sites/ariticels via the net, not sure about this part!) So, any pointers to sample cfg files would be helpful! thanks

What is Gnome Screensaver?
by SternData 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

I have it installed, but AFAICT it doesn't do anything, nor is there a GUI to config it. I've installed xscreensaver because I enjoy a few minutes of eye candy before the monitor is turned off. Please do not reply telling me you don't use gnome and I'm at fault or in some way deficient for using it. Thanks. -- -- Steve

Freepbx for fedora?
by Robert Moskowitz 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Or equiv? The freepbx has information on installation on Centos, but not for fedora. We have Asterisk 11 (what the Centos wiki shows), but how to proceed. Or is there something 'better' than freepbx? Also they are announcing Freepbx 12 on Asterisk 12. When might Asterisk 12 come out for Fedora? I am looking to running this on the arm fedora distro.

what's the point of filing bugs against Fedora?
by Paolo Galtieri 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

I'm asking this question out of frustration. What's the point of filing bugs against Fedora at bugzilla.redhat.com when the response I get is "ask up stream they can help you"? I filed a bug (1040518) against the Mate desktop, and was told to ask upstream for help because they can help me. I don't understand this. I installed Mate from the Fedora DVD and I therefore expect the Fedora engineers to act as buffer between me and upstream. It should be their responsibility to work with the Mate engineers, not mine. I've done tech support for Linux for many years. Do you know how long I would have lasted if I told one of my customers "Oh, it's a kernel bug, go ask Linus I'm sure he can help you" ? I guarantee you not very long. It was my responsibility to work with whoever I needed to to fix the customer's problem, but the customer dealt with me until the problem was fixed. OK, rant now over, you can return to your regularly scheduled programming. Paolo

F20 has blurry font rendering
by Michael Cronenworth 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

I've upgraded a few machines and felt the font rendering was harder to read in F20. I took some F19 screenshots and F20 screenshots and found my eyes were correct. Thunderbird F19: http://i.imgur.com/rgnFmU6.png F20: http://i.imgur.com/ceOIM0n.png Firefox F19: http://i.imgur.com/8MXxy0N.png F20: http://i.imgur.com/669DSwI.png I do not see any font changes mentioned in the F20 ChangeSet list so someone snuck a font change in. Anyone else run into this?

pata disc / sata host converters
by Ian Malone 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hi, I'm looking at a motherboard update and have apparently left it too long: it's hard to find new MBs that have PATA connectors (there are a few, but choice is pretty limited). The hard drives for this machine are SATA, but the optical drives are PATA. There are a few PATA to SATA converters which basically plug onto the back of the drive and provide a SATA connection. Anyone tried these and found any issues in Linux? It's not too dear to buy new optical drives, but I've got two and it seems a bit wasteful to throw them out when they in good condition. (Actually, given how cheap new ones are I wonder if they're better quality anyway.) -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk
