Python learning

by Zoltan Hoppar

I have up to learn python language, but as far as I know - didn't saw any IDE, or editor with directly supports it. I would like to ease my learning curve, and I thought to makes easier to see the stucture, and the code. Maybe later on I would like to play with glade, but now - if anyone has good advices - I'm open to anything. Thanks, Zoltan -- PGP: 06853DF7

NEW to 'Fedora 13'

by jeff breibart

Hello! Just bought a used lap-top (-for our child) which has the 'Fedora 13' OS installed. (-the presence of LINUX was a positive influence in our decision to buy this lap-top) Unfortunately, my knowledge/familiarity with anything other than MS XP is: ZERO ! After our purchase, I attempted to explore (its) "functionality"; as a result, I, inadvertently: a) eliminated some of the 'icons', and, b) cannot 'access' the Internet ! HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VirtualBox, USB, Droid & F12

by Greg Woods

I'm trying to sync my Droid phone with a Windows application. Doesn't sound like a Fedora issue at first, but read on. I've got two machines with the same motherboard and CPU, but otherwise not identical hardware. Both are running Windows 7 virtual machines under VirtualBox 3.2.10, latest version downloaded from virtualbox.org. Both are running Fedora 12. On one, everything works just fine. On the other, the Motorola USB device is greyed out and I cannot connect it to the virtual machine. The Droid is plugged in while configured for "Charge Only", but on both machines dmesg shows that it is detected as a Mass Storage device and it is configured as a disk (but not actually mounted). On the one that works, I can then select it in the Devices -> USB Devices menu in VirtualBox and it works just fine on the Windows 7 VM. On the other, it is greyed out and listed as Not Available. Obviously, something in the host OS (Fedora 12) has claimed it but I cannot for the life of me figure out what. This situation persists even if I rmmod the usb-storage module. In that case, "usbview" shows the Motorola device in red (meaning it has no driver). But it is still greyed out in VirtualBox. Is there any way to find out what it is that is claiming this device? That is the crucial first step to solving this problem. Thanks, --Greg

texlive 2010 and italian hyphenation

by Walter Cazzola

Dear all, I've a full version of texlive 2010 installed (more than 3000 packages) but only the English hyphenation is loaded and I can't find how to load also the rules for other languages (Italian in particular). Normally I do that from texconfig (hyphenation menu) but now it says: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- texconfig hyphen is no longer supported, because manual edits of language.dat (or language.def) will be overwritten by the new TeX Live package manager, tlmgr, which regenerates those configuration files as needed upon package changes. Thus, to add or remove hyphenation patterns, the recommended method is to use tlmgr to add or remove the appropriate package. If you need to make manual additions, you can edit the files language-local.dat and language-local.def under TEXMFLOCAL. Further information with tlmgr --help and at http://tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html. Exiting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately the yum version of texlive 2010 removed tlmgr and "yum provides language-local.\*" doesn't provide any result. So I suppose they are not installed as well. The problem is known and on the fedoraproject wiki related to texlive (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Features/TeXLive#hyphenation) you read: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The hyphenation for other languages than english is still not working (similarly to TL2009 in F12) unless the config is modified manually. Simply installing the required packages still produces the result below even though all the hyphenation pattern files exist under /usr/share/... : Babel v3.8l and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang, nohyphenation, loaded. The issue seems to have been fixed in the latest TL2010-update. Thanks. --Piksi 15:37, 27 August 2010 (UTC) This is no more an issue with the latest packages, is it? --jnovy 09:09, 09 October 2010 (UTC) --------------------------------------------------------------------- That seems they know the problem and this is not an issue anymore but I keep my fedora13 up to date but almost 2 months later than the fix my problem still persists. What am I doing wrong?

Ksplice doesn't quite eliminate rebooting

by Robert G. (Doc) Savage

I installed Ksplice and its Uptrack Manager on my 32-bit and 64-bit F13 laptops about a month ago during the last big kernel vulnerability flap. My objective was to become more familiar with Ksplice before investing in it for several RHEL servers. Yesterday the Ksplice icon in the upper toolbar indicated new updates were available. Specifically, there was a patch for CVE-2010-3432 "Remote denial of service vulnerability in SCTP" plus one other involving garbage data on the kernel stack when handling signals (no CVE). Before running Ksplice Uptrack Manager I ran 'uname' to check the running kernel version: $ uname -a Linux localhost@localdomain 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed Sep 15 03:27:15 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux This did not change after running KUM. The contents of /etc/grub.conf were also unchanged. It appears that Ksplice had updated only the code running in RAM. To test this hypothesis, I rebooted the laptop. After reboot, the Ksplice icon was in its normal state. When clicked it reported the two installed updates, but neither /etc/grub.conf nor the output of uname had changed. So... Ksplice appears to fulfill its promise to keep a system updated, but it does so dynamically in a way that will require changes in most configuration management auditing processes. Tools that check the RPM database won't work because neither rpm nor yum are used to apply Ksplice updates. The output of uname won't change until I apply standard update patches and reboot into a new kernel. I must still run 'yum update' to apply kernel and other patches that required rebooting before Ksplice. With Ksplice I don't actually have to reboot after running 'yum update' because its dynamic patching mechanism alters the running kernel on-the-fly, but my auditing and configuration management tools can't correctly determine the system state. Before those can work again I must still schedule downtime for a reboot. The bottom line appears to be that Ksplice can dynamically patch a system and allow uninterrupted operation indefinitely. It does so in a way that invalidates auditing tools that are not Ksplice-aware. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
