How to get UK country defaults?
by Jeremy Sanders
Hi - What settings does KDE use to get the country defaults? We use
Kickstart to install Fedora 12, with
lang en_GB.UTF-8
However KDE doesn't seem to pick up the currency settings and other country
settings for the UK.
Is there an automated way to change the country, or a configuration file to
edit to change it? It would be useful if users got the correct country
setting by default.
Thanks
Jeremy

filelight not showing all volumes
by Chris January
Hello,
With Fedora 12, when I run the Filelight program (shows disk usage), only
the /boot volume is shown when I start the program.
With Fedora 11 (and previous releases), all volumes were shown (i.e.
/boot, / and /home).
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Regards,
Chris January

Update on the build-Sesame-from-source progress
by Mary Ellen Foster
Hello! I've continued working on the process of getting Sesame to
build from source (http://www.openrdf.org/). After a bit of a false
step, it turns out that the one monster horrible package that pulled
in most of the dependencies is only used in one subpackage, which -- I
hope! -- isn't needed for the Sesame backend of Soprano that was the
motivation for this whole undertaking. I *WILL* follow through on the
review requests I put up as part of that initial effort, though --
don't worry, Java people! :)
So anyway, I now have a SRPM of Sesame that builds locally on my
computer after building and installing all of the dependencies. There
are still a fair number of dependencies to get in, but the individual
packages are mostly pretty straightforward. There are also a few
packages already in Fedora which need a minor update so that Sesame
can build against them. I've summarised my progress here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MaryEllenFoster/SopranoSesame#The_new_stuff
At this point, I really need to give the review requests that I filed
earlier a bit of love before spamming the review queue again (there
are 16 packages that need to be reviewed before Sesame can be built).
I'd like to review any Java-based packages that are out there in
return -- is there any way to find such packages short of searching
for "java" in the review requests?

Help! Locked out of my laptop
by Anne Wilson
I've got a really strange situation. I've been experiencing some memory
leaks, and when I saw top report that I was getting dangerously low I used
ctrl-alt-backspace as the quickest way of killing X. Up to now, when this
happened I have always rebooted, but I hoped that by killing my session I
might not need to reboot.
I got to the login screen, gave my password, and it sat there at the default
splash screen. I couldn't go any further.
In a failsafe session I searched for LOCK files, but the only ones I found
were in /etc/selinux/targeted/modules.
I tried renaming ~/.kde, but exactly the same thing happened, and a new ~/.kde
was not created.
I can list all the files and directories in /home/anne and they are all owned
by me.
A second user account is fine, so I know that KDE as such isn't damaged.
I'm completely out of ideas. What have I missed?

I'd switch to runlevel 3 and try to log in as my user. If that works, run 'startx' from the command line.
HTH,
Tim

zombie in panel
by Timothy Murphy
I have a zombie KMail icon in my Fedora-11/KDE panel,
which I don't seem able to get rid of.
(Left-clicking and choosing "Close" has no effect.)
If I run KMail a second icon appears on the panel,
and everything works normally.
The zombie icon has no bad effect, as far as I can see.
I'd just like to get rid of it, if I can.
