X with neither KDE nor Gnome
by Dave Feustel 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

I am experimenting with various niche window managers. I have removed all KDE software and XFCE still runs ok. Can I also delete all of gnome software without impacting XFCE? Usually I run only Xterm and Firefox. Thanks.

by Andrea 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi, I've been tracking an issue that prevents from printing certain paper sizes in GIMP. It ended up being a bug in GTK+, fixed last December. I've filed a bug on Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480245 It would be nice to have an updated version of GTK+ for Fedora 9 and 10. Thanks Andrea

TV tuner card in f10
by Endy 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi all, I've got a Sabrent SBTV/FM tuner card in my media box. In fedora 9 the tuner card worked perfectly with the right tuner type module argument. However, after upgrading to fedora 10, the tuner is no longer usable. It is listed under lspci, but dmesg returns no relevant information other than acknowledging that the module has been loaded, and there are no /dev/video devices created. Manually creating them has no effect. I'm stumped and tvtime reports that it can't use /dev/video0 (since it doesn't exist). Any ideas? Thanks, Endy

GDM and powersave
by mike cloaked 12 Feb '09

12 Feb '09

On a system I have installed clean F10 the powersave kicks in on the monitor just fine if set in the screensaver area in gnome for a logged in user. However if the user logs out, then the screen blanks out after some period as expected, but the monitor does not go into powersave any any point. Can someone tell me where the settings are for the timings for these two features of GDM? I presume that this is something that can be set somewhere? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/GDM-and-powersave-tp21012025p21012025.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

automount of filesystem by label
by Tod Thomas 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

I have an external, USB connected, SATA drive divided into two partitions with labels SATA1, SATA2. I'd like to set up autofs to automount the drive when I plug it into the USB port and power it up. In auto.master I have: /mnt /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60 and in /etc/auto.misc I have: sata1 -fstype=ext3 :SATA1 sata2 -fstype=ext3 :SATA2 I restarted autofs, no luck. Is there a way to automount my drive using just the labels? Thanks - Tod

Firefox appears (newly) to be adding a header and trailer to page printouts, making one page become two on printout. Anyone know how to suppress this? Thanks.

Network Manager, Firefox and more on FC10
by David R. Wilson 08 Feb '09

08 Feb '09

Hello fellows, My .02 worth on several subjects. Network Manager since FC8 has been causing more grief to me than it is worth. It looks like it needs to look at the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ files for eth0 and if it is there don't screw things up (or at least prompt before destruction). The startup screen with the travelling bars near the bottom of the screen is a waste of time. There is a reason I want to see what the box is doing, and prefer the FC9 behavior. With FC9 I could hit a key and watch for problems. I didn't find any documentation on how to change that to the FC9 behavior. Firefox refuses to handle a bad certificate. That is all well and good, until your dealing with a firewall that doesn't have one that is valid. I didn't find a way to get beyond the complaint about the certificate. I had to grab my laptop with FC9 to deal with that problem. FC10 made doing anything with the https interface impossible. Dave
