How to tell which user is active (which display is up)?
by Robert Arkiletian
Assume there are two or more people logged in to separate X sessions
with "Switch User". If I ssh in to that box (as root), how can I tell
which user is the active one?
Put another way, is there any way to tell which display is currently
being shown.

vlc install on F13 x86_64...backtrace...what just happened?
by Kevin Martin
Ouch! VLC appears to not like the latest glibc on F13 x86_64.

USB support for VirtualBox
by Robert Karge
I have been using Fedora off/on since F3. I'm a heavy user of VirtualBox.
>From F3 to F13 USB is not evident. All suggestions from Fedora sources
don't work. All other Linux Distros I have tried have automated access to
USB in VirtualBox.
Please help me with an absolute method.
Thanks

by Joachim Backes
Going to http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora and selecting "German
(de)" as language. But what i see is a horrible mix of german and
english parts:
-------------------------------snip ------------------------------
Was benötige ich?
* Eine leere CD oder DVD or a blank 1GB+ USB stick.
* Einen 400 MHz Prozessor, oder schneller
* At least 512 MB memory (RAM), 1 GB recommended for best performance
* At least 10 GB hard drive space (only required for installation)

Phoronix test suite gui on Fedora just a step away...
by Valent Turkovic
I managed to get all components needed for Phoronix test suite
installed but still have one issue.
# phoronix-test-suite gui
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access
parent directories: No such file or directory
pwd: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories: No such file or directory
pwd: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite: line 28: [:
/usr/share/phoronix-test-suite: unary operator expected
You need two packages that aren't in Fedora, php-gtk, but php-gtk also
has it's dependency - pecl-cairo
Here is how I got all components built.
su -c "yum install php-cli php-devel make gcc gtk2-devel svn"
svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/cairo/trunk pecl-cairo
cd pecl-cairo/
phpize
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
cd ..
svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/gtk/php-gtk/trunk php-gtk
cd php-gtk
./buildconf
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
cd ..
wget http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/download.php?file=phoronix-test-suite-...
tar xvzf phoronix-test-suite-2.8.1.tar.gz
cd phoronix-test-suite
su -c "./install-sh"
So please take where I left to get Phoronix test suite running on Fedora.

Can palimpsest disk utility create LVM partition?
by Robert Moskowitz
I just got my seagate 1.5TB drive. I deleted the NTFS partition and
wanted to put down a LVM partition that I would then divide into 3 EXT3
partitioins.
Palimpsest lists"
EXT2,3,4, XFS, minix, NTFS, Swap, Empty, and Extended Partition
So how do I do this as an LVM (and then put down the ext3 partitions....).

mail client for usage in shell scripts, using the thunderbird configuration?
by Joachim Backes
Hi all,
normally, I use thunderbird for email purposes. Now, I need a cli
interface for usage inside of shell scripts (for sending emails).
I know that I can use mutt, but then I need to configure it. Brr!
Question: Is there an email client, using the thunderbird configuration,
but fully running inside a shell script (piping,...) without GUI?
All advice is welcome.
Kind regards
