Hi list, When looking at the output of pirut in the GUI, I see packages listed as 1:x11-rest-of-name or 30:bind-rest-of-name. What does the digit that precedes the name of the package mean?

desktop-effects start/stop command

by Hiisi

Dear All! Is there a way to start and stop desktop-effects using some command? I'm pretty happy running desktop-effects all the time except when I want to use Blender. With desktop-effects enabled Blender 3D-window is half-transparent and there's other artefact on panels. I run Blender using 'LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender'. It's the only way to use it. I would like to create an alias for 'blender' with something like desktop-effects --stop | LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender'. Or even write a small script that would disable effects when Blender starts and enable them after it exits. Suggestions? Thanks for attention! -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982.

FC10 - Where is mod_ssl and ssl.conf

by Robert Moskowitz

I am trying to add SSL support to my apache server on FC10. This is for Squirrelmail that is up and working without SSL. So I am reading: http://www.linuxmail.info/squirrelmail-webmail-setup-howto-in-centos-5/#v... http://www.linuxmail.info/securing-squirrelmail-using-ssl/ But I do not have mod_ssl or /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf on my system. What rpm(s) am I missing? I do have: nss_compat_ossl-0.9.5-3.fc10.i386.rpm openssl-0.9.8g-14.fc10.i686.rpm perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.30-1.fc10.noarch.rpm perl-Net-SSLeay-1.35-1.fc10.i386.rpm pyOpenSSL-0.7-2.fc10.i386.rpm

Thunderbird 3.0b3 focus issue

by Chris Bredesen

Anyone else seeing this? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511100 Extremely annoying; makes tabbed viewing unusable. I'm wondering now if I should have filed this in Fedora and not upstream... -CB

re: CF and Swap

by Marco Devillers

Ok, cool, last mail, thanks for all support. I'll need a solid state replacement 1.8inch, at most 5mm high, PATA, ZIF connector, if anandtech is right. Cheapest I found so far is 32GB, around 1000 USD. Any referal to any good reseller in Germany/the Netherlands would be appreciated. I might go SSD. I'll reinstall Fedora Life 11 over the trashed drive and see if I can make it work without swap, or memory mounted swap. The smartctl monitor gives failures everywhere, so I am pretty sure the thing is trashed. Does CF give decent read/write speeds? I don't care a lot because otherwise I'll just use it as a portable X-terminal at home and configure another machine as development server. Thanks, will let you know if it worked or the MacBook turned into flames.

version GLIBC_2.0 not defined issue

by Yu Lex

Run a personal program "Track", and get error messages like "symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference". Does anybody know to deal with this issue in Fedora 11? The LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 trick seems not work for me. [root@localhost ~]# Track Track: relocation error: Track: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference [root@localhost ~]# export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 [root@localhost ~]# Track Track: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

NFS causing slooooow boot

by Valent Turkovic

Hi, I'm building custom Fedora remix with some packages from RPMFusion and updated Fedora packages. Last Live USB image I created booted really slow (over 5 minutes). I tracked down the issue to nfs service. Even when this ISO image is used for installing Fedora to HDD the same issue is present. After stopping nfs service boot time was around 30 seconds! Did anybody else experience this issue?

reorganizing /home's

by Michael Hennebry

I'm dual booting F9 and F11. There is a partition that mounts on F9:/home and on F11:/home. I suspect that my ~/.* directories are stepping on each other. I want to reorganize so that the to-be-former home partition mounts on F9:/homes and on F11:/homes. F9:/home would be a symbolic link to /homes/F9. F11:/home would be a symbolic link to /homes/F11. User fred would have home directories with canonical names /homes/F9/fred and /homes/F11/fred . Each would have a symbolic link to /homes/fred, his old home directory. Once upon a time, I would boot from a live CD, reorganize the directories, and edit the fstabs. IIRC fstabs now get rewritten at boot time. Mere hand editing won't do the trick. What will do the trick? Also, is there a way to use labels instead of those awful UUIDs? I concede their usefullness if one has a lot of disks or a lot of turnover. I have four disks. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Optimist: The glass is half full. Engineer: The glass is twice as big as it needs to be."

Grsync

by Antonio M

In F11 when I start Grsync I get grsync (grsync:9034): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_combo_box_append_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LIST_STORE (combo_box->priv->model)' failed My box is a fully updated F11 system. In the meantime I will file also a bug: I think that Grsync is very important for backups, so when an update is pushed out, it should be tested: this is F11 and not rawhide ;-) -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag SIP: antoniomontag(a)ekiga.net
