> Take a look at the powersave options of setterm.
Well, I tried 'setterm -powersave on' - but it responded with "cannot
(un)set powersave mode".
What gives?

usb hd
by John
I plugged in an old hard drive, via usb. I was able to format the
drive (fat32, don't ask)- that's as far as I can go with it though... I
click on the icon and I'm told I don't have enough privilege to mount
the drive. Doh! Another weird thing I've noticed- not sure if it
matters. I had to set jumpers at cable select, instead of as master,
just so the crazy thing can even been 'seen' by FC. I'm using FC5, but
plan on using the set up with 6 (my laptop) and Windows.

Start only one program at login
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu
Hello,
I want to start one application after logging in from GDM, and nothing
else - I don't want any of the normal desktop environment. I've been
testing with a few different apps, such as gnome-terminal, but so far my
attempts have failed.
I'm getting an error that says "no profile for user test found", and
then I get logged out again.
What I've done so far is create a .xsession file, changed the
permissions to 700, and added the following to the file:
exec gnome-terminal &
I know that won't give me any gnome settings, etc., but I'm just playing
around at the moment. All I want to do for now is get gnome-terminal
started.
Thanks,
Ranbir

Problem accessing some https sites
by Jacques B.
I'm unable to access some https sites for some reason. I can access
https://mail.google.com for example, but not my banking site, or
another encrypted site. I turned off iptables but still no luck. I
also went in the GUI and turned off the firewall from there (isn't
that also iptables?). I have a Windows box on a hub with the FC6 box
(only two on that hub) which can access those other sites no problem.
So the problem is definitely local to my FC6 machine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Process for file protocol died unexpectedly// Session errors...// KDE restore session
by Kim Lux
I'm getting a "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly" when
I log into my Linux box.
When I log in, my desktop has no icons. As soon as I do anything with a
desktop file, it refeshes and the icons appear. (For example, right
click->new->folder.)
Also, my .xsession-errors file has literally hundreds of "+QFile::open:
No file name specified" errors in it. Furthermore, whenever I do
anything on the desktop, like move an icon, about 20 more such error
messages occur.
I think the problem originated when I accidentally filled my hard drive.
Since then I have freed up a bunch of space. I've also run fsck and its
fine error wise.
I suspect that KDE is trying to open a file that was used in a previous
session, maybe when my computer shut down from a full hard drive. How
does one wipe all the previous session info so that KDE doesnt do a
"restore session" operation ?
Thanks.
