udev problem under f12
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
bonjour,
I had to fight with a non answered problem on this list. (See my posts
"Am I the only one" and "f12 /dev/dvd missing")
I found that some udev rules were not written and I don't know why: The
install came smoothly without any warning or error.
What was missing is file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules
I could create it running:
udevtest /sys/block/sr0
My question now is: why this was not created during instaal/first boot?
Is it a bug? Is this coming from my hardware?
How can I check if there are not other similar problems in my install?
Thanks

NFS over ADSL
by Terry Barnaby
I routinely access my systems remotely using an OpenVPN connection over
ADSL and use NFSv3 to access remote file systems. Although this works
quite well there are two core issues I have:
1. NFS access does not seem to have any reasonable I/O scheduling ability
like the standard Disk I/O system (fair usage scheduler). This means
that a large file access or transfer will end up hogging the NFS
causing timeouts on other file system access to the remote system.
2. There does not appear to be any real ability for a local, large disk
cache of the remotes file system. For me this would be a great advantage.
Does anyone know if any of the above are possible with NFS ?
If not does anyone know of a "simple" network file system that would
have the above features ?

QTParted - normal behaviour or BZ?
by DB
Evening All,
Just tried to run QTParted on my F11-KDE desktop. If I click on the
internal Linux formatted HDD, all is well.
If I click on my external HDD (still NTFS), QTParted starts to look at
the drive, then vanishes. Tried running it from Konsole & got the
message that QTParted is not yet able to work on NTFS partitions.
Question: is it correct/normal behaviour for an app just to vanish,
rather than to give an error indication? Should it be BZed?

Linux C++ compiler
by Matt Smith
Can anyone recommend a good C++ compiler for Linux, I am very new to Linux
(very very new). Does Fedora 12 come with one? In Windows i used to write
programs using borlands dos console compiler and Dev-C++. It would great to
get a recommendation for a good one in Linux and how to install it.
Thanks

KDE apps and freetype-freeworld's bytecode interpreter
by Vassili Zaitsev
Hi,
I was wondering if someone could confirm (or possibly solve) a problem
I've been experiencing with F12 KDE, freshly installed and now fully
updated.
I installed freetype-freeworld and then added the MS core fonts, setting
Arial and Courier New as the defaults in System Settings.
Also in System Settings, I changed the "Use anti-aliasing" setting from
"System Settings" to "Enabled", and then configured the hinting style to
"Full", checked sub-pixel rendering and set the anti-aliasing exclusion
range at between 8.0 and 15.0 pts (NB, KDE's system fonts range in size
between 8 and 10 pts).
The curious thing is, in the case of Gtk applications such as the GIMP,
Firefox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey and GNOME MPlayer, the fully-hinted MS
fonts are displayed correctly, in all their sharp, bytecode-interpreted
grandeur whereas in KDE applications the same fonts just look ragged,
much as if the BCI had been left uncompiled.
Interestingly, there seems to be an exception on the KDE side: K3B,
which displays MS core fonts correctly.
I should point out that where anti-aliasing is turned on but the
"excluded range" setting is left unchecked, in both Gtk and KDE
applications the MS fonts are anti-aliased, so the issue appears to be
with KDE rather than freetype-freeworld.
Best wishes,
Vassili

Thunderbird & Okular question
by DB
Afternoon All,
Seeing all the post about not being able to open "latest pdf", I have a
question.....
In Thunderbird, I have set my default for pdf attachments to Okular.
Everytime I try to open a pdf attachment, I get a dialog asking me if I
want to save the attachment. When I save it, I then have to go to the
downloaded file & open it with Okular.
Have I missed something in my preferences? I seem to remember "not so
long ago...." that the automatic opening worked. (Automatic opening
works for other sort of files, just not for pdf & okular.)
As ever, thanks for any insights!
Dave

Fedora12 Release Notes.
by Reg Clemens
What has happened to the concept of release notes that a person could
actually print down and read?
Previous releases have had Release Notes that were mabe 20 pages long, with a
sentence or two about each change.
I looked at the Release Notes for Fedora12, and its a 500page PDF document.
Now thats way longer than I want to print, since I would never read it all, and
there is no way Im going to read more than a page or two of it online.
So basically, someone has spent a lot of time, generating a very nice looking
document, which I am sure has a lot of good information in it, but we need
something more compact. Something I can read in 10minutes.
As it stands, I have to assume that I, and everyone else just ignores these
Release Notes. Too bad.
