Motorola z6c phone + Fedora
by Claude Jones
I have the Motorola World Edition z6c - does any one know of a package that
will allow me to enter and retrieve data from this phone. I have the microUSB
to USB cable. I've seen references to such software in the past, but I can't
seem to find it right now - I must be using the wrong search terms...

Can't Reset gnome-keyring Password?
by Richard Heck
For some time now, my daughter's been having a problem with her WPA key:
NM asks for it every time she logs on. I seem to have figured out why,
more or less. Let me say that she's using LXDE under F10 on an Eee 901.
When trying to debug something else, I reset her password to what it
originally was when I set up her account, and suddenly everything
worked. I changed it to something else, and it didn't work; changed it
back, and then it did again. So I ran Settings>Passwords, etc, or
whatever it is, and there was a button that said something like "Reset
keyring password". Unfortunately, clicking that button just got me an
error message, something like "Unable to reset keyring password". Very
helpful.
Any ideas?

F10 VS vlc
by Fred Smith
Hi!
I just noticed last night that vlc no longer displays its GUI. It still
plays audio (haven't tried video yet), but I get no control panel from
it anymore. I have to kill it (kill -9) to stop it, and there are no
controls.
As recently as this past weekend it was working fine.
Did perhaps an update install a broken one? Any other ideas?
Thanks!

OT: Sleep Mode (?)
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I have recently bought a new computer and a fancy keyboard with many
keys I have never seen before. I accidentally pressed a key at the
upper right of the keyboard marked "WAKE", which seems to have put the
computer to sleep. Symptoms are that the monitor has gone dark
displaying "No Signal", and the power light on the computer blinks.
Pressing the power button wakes the computer up for about 5 seconds,
after which it sleeps again. Pressing the reset button has no effect.
The salesman (Central Computer of SF) has told me that the machine has
gone into "sleep mode", which can be started in a number of ways. He
didn't know how to get it out except by powering down the machine (using
the main power switch on the back), then powering up. I asked him
whether there was any other way to wake it, and what use sleep mode
could be; he knew nothing, except that there may be a way to restart the
machine using the keyboard (but he doesn't know how). I have a call in
to tech support.
Useful info may be:
Computer is a white box using an AMD Phenom chip in an ASUS
M3A78-EM motherboard.
OS is Fedora-10 with all updates installed
Keyboard is from DeLUX.
Any info would be much appreciated.

Starting services slowed, Xserver tainted and getting Yum to find baseurl's
by dcooke＠efn.org
Takes longer now starting services for messagebus, named and nsf.
then
Xserver fails and starts its diagnoses, do output and options to
change the 'Power Manager' settings. Doing so saves something from
/x11/xorg.config to .config.backup. Getting to restart the Xserver,
sometimes more than once, The desktop slowly loads along with a few
programs.
Is Anyone familiar with what is going on with this?
Would really appreciate A starting point on how-to-fix it?
After the system is up, It seems then to run okay, though the thumb
drive and DVD aren't showing up.
I also need life back into YUM. Haven't been able to update...since
'08. Yum shows, 'nightly updates enabled' but /var/log/yum.log
indicates no actions have been taken. Messages it can't find a
valid baseurl for repo: updates.
I posted on the 23th with a follow-up on the 25th to some of the
dialog 'system messages', outputs and complaints from the xserver.
Will gladly post anything additional you need.

How to add to grub?
by Bob Goodwin
I installed F-10 on this computer but in creating grub the installer
ignored the existing F-8 on drive /dev/sda. I thought it would present
me with a grub screen for selection of the other system but it didn't
happen. I don't actually need or want F8 but if I can make it work,
since it is already there, then I should be able to replace it with F0
or even Centos. I have a genealogy program [Ftree] that seg faults with
F-10 on both computers.
I began making a modified grub but when I got down to the last section I
find that the F8 drive contains no /boot/vmlinuz - ****. It does
however contain kernel rpm files in the yum cache.
Can someone tell me how to procede? Suggestions, forget it maybe?

NFR - Bookpool
by Michael.Coll-Barth＠VerizonWireless.com
Folks,
This is Not Fedora Related, just Linux book related. Earlier this week,
I was attempting to buy a book on Bookpool and it seems to be gone. The
site was there last week, but comes up with a Network Solutions generic
message. Did I miss the memo? Did they go belly up?
thanks,
Michael

Re: Backing up system
by gmspro
Hi,
With the SystemRescueCd ,typing xinit in the terminal a graphical interface with the terminal appears.
There typing partimage got the partimage window.
Giving a filename like "backup" the backing up process starts.
After a while it prompts that there is no space left.
The current directory was like this: [root@localhost/root]#
What should I do then?
Where should I save the backup file?
Can anyone give any idea?

Steven,
Thanks for the info. I have an extra box that I was going to dedicate
to graphics and wanted to learn Gimp. Learning Gimp without a book is
not an easy task, so I broke down and went to buy a book. Alas, poor
bookpool, I knew it well. Or so I thought I did.
So, what book do you folks out there recommend for Gimp for beginners
and where do you shop these days?
thanks,
Michael
