Start only one program at login
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

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.

Fedora ISO distribution with Metalink
by Anthony Bryan 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, I just wanted to invite people to try out downloading Fedora ISOs with Metalink. It's an XML format for listing mirrors and checksums along with other information. openSUSE, OpenOffice.org, Arch Linux, and other distributions use it. It usually results in much faster and more reliable downloads. aria2 is in Extras and is a great command line client for segmented downloads and BitTorrent, along with Metalink. There are also other GUI clients on Mac, Unix, and Windows. You can find .metalinks for most Fedora ISOs at http://download.packages.ro/metalink/fedora/ For more info, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalink I'd be interested in any comments people have. -- (( Anthony Bryan )) Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ]

how to start qt4 programming under FC6?
by Robert P. J. Day 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

i want to try my hand at a few simple qt4 programs in FC6, but it's not clear i have the right setup since the basic tutorial examples that come with qt4 don't compile using "qmake". my biggest concern is that i have a mixture of both qt-3.3.7 and qt4-4.2.2 packages on the system. nothing *seems* to need the qt-3.3.7 packages, so am i safe to toss them before trying again? if anyone has a working setup for this, or there's a web page that covers this, i'd be grateful. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Isn't it enough to create a "qtprepare" ? #!/bin/sh unset QTINC QTLIB QTPATH_LRELEASE QMAKESPEC qmake-qt4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It should create a Makefile for you. Another possibility is adding these lines to your .cshrc: #QT setenv QTDIR /usr/lib/qt4 setenv QTPATH_LRELEASE $QTDIR/bin/lrelease setenv QMAKESPEC $QTDIR/mkspecs/linux-g++ -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ

pgAccess & phpPgAdmin with postgresql under FC6
by parishd 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

I'm trying to access a postgresql database via the graphical frontends pgAccess and phpPgAdmin, running under FC6 (completely up-to-date via yum). The access control file, pg_hba.conf, contains # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD local all all md5 host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host all all ::1/128 md5 host all all 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.255 md5 and I've edited /etc/init.d/postgresql to launch the postmaster with the -i option to allow remote connections. With pgAccess, I am unable to open the database using the host localhost (couldn't open socket: host is unreachable), but using the ip (192.168.0.3) works fine; at least after adding the final line shown in my pg_hba.conf above. With phpPgAdmin, when I enter http://localhost/phpPgAdmin in the browser, I'm delivered to phpPgAdmin login page, but cannot login/open the database (error message: login failed). However, when I enter http://192.168.0.3/phpPgAdmin in the browser (the line that works for pgAcess), I can't even get to the login screen message: (error message: Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /phpPgAdmin on this server). I have read through the docs and online forums, and experimented with various settings in pg_hba.conf, config.inc.php, php.ini, /etc/init.d/postgresql, postgresql.conf, etc., as described in various posts, but I'm stumped. I haven't seen this exact behavior described before and was hoping it might enable on of you to tell me what I'm missing or where I might look next. Thanks for your help.

I only use those online email sites for chatting on forums and lists, as I am wary about contaminating my provider account with spam. I had to create an email alias with my provider - yes, another identity! alas! - but at least I don't have to go to a web site to write, which is easier. Also, the provider doesn't allow names longer than 8 characters, so kwhiskerz had to become kuiskers, which is still in my kde theme, and the meaning is clear, as is the pronunciation, but it now looks Dutch :-) I've noticed that when I hit reply with kmail, a field opens below the quoted text, while reply in hotmail (and gmail, I think) opens the reply field above the quoted text. I have never given much thought to top- or bottom-posting, but simply type my reply into the space provided by the programmers of the software. > On Thu, 2007-02-01 at 16:57 -0700, Tim <ignored_mailbox(a)yahoo.com.au> wrote: > > I can understand that, but you've picked the spawn of the devil to work > with.

Which is a free (in both senses, even) imap mail to try? Yeah, I was kind of thinking hotmail for corresponding with redhat would be more than a bit uncool :-) The nice thing about using my provider's email is that I just click 'check mail in' and all of the mail comes, and they have web access, too. Unfortunately, it is pop and not imap. -- kwhiskerz{

IBM xserve 225/ MPT scsi
by Les Mikesell 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Is fedora supposed to work with the LSI logic MPT scsi controller embedded in IBM xserve 225's? I had FC5 running on one but it hasn't booted with any kernel update past 2.6.16.2133_FC5smp. I thought I'd just let it go until the next version, but FC6 won't work either. It detects/partitions OK but when it starts formatting, the error log on the alt-F4 screen starts reporting scsi errors and the format never completes. The same box installs/runs Centos 4.x with a 2.6.9.x kernel with no errors. Is this a known problem? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

I've made changes to the /etc/X11/twm/system.temrc file to add some apps and nothing I seem to do makes them take effect. What am I missing?
