Sun Java double-click interval
by Pasan
I use Fedora 13 64bit with latest updates.
Applications using sun jre (for an example matlab) has a very fast
double-click interval. This makes double-clicks get interpreted as two
single clicks.
When I add the line
'*multiClickTime: 400'
to $HOME/.Xdefaults and invoke
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults
double-click interval in matlab (and all other sun java applications) works
fine.
But every time I login I have to invoke the command 'xrdb -merge
$HOME/.Xdefaults'
I have a feeling $HOME/.Xdefaults' is not checked by the X session.
What's the correct filename in Fedora where I have to put double-click
interval?
Thanks

Issue with guest additions on Fedora13 in Virtualbox
by Aneesh K raj
Hi,
I am trying to install guest additions on the fedora 13 in my virtual box..
ran the VB.....sh file from /media/VBox..../ as root
and below was the result
********************************
Uncompressing VirtualBox 3.2.6 Guest Additions for Linux........
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules [FAILED]
Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules.
Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong. Once you have corrected it, you can
run
/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
to build them.
****************************************
and the log file
cat /var/log/vboxadd-install.log
Makefile:23: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR= and run Make again.. Stop.

Creating udev rule for the Guest Additions kernel module.
why is it failing...
Also after the update the screen size has increased (screen resolution is 1024 *768) ; i see the scroll bars (both horizontal & vertical); how can I have the screen without any scrolls..
My host OS is Windows XP -> screen resolution is 1280 * 720

Fedora users on powerpc
by JD
Is there another list that is dedicated to fedora users on powerpc?
I had asked a question here about booting F12 on powerbook G4,
and no one answered. I assume there are no fedora/powerpc
users on this list.

F13 boot floppy??
by Beartooth
Yes, floppy.
I have an old Dell PowerEdge SC 1420, originally a server, now
mainly for backups and bulk storage; I used to have to burn a boot.iso to
CD, and put a Fedora DVD into an external USB drive in order to be able
to upgrade it.
Last time was much easier; preupgrade worked, no sweat, and it
ran fine for a long while. Then I goofed it up. (Never mind how -- sheer
stupidity, mistaking it for another machine on my LAN that did have
trouble.)
So I want to try F13 in rescue mode -- unless there's a better
way. (Remember, it doesn't seem to be able to get its electrons around
the idea of a DVD, even with Fedora and the external drive to help. Or
unless there's a boot.iso, small enough for a CD, that I somehow failed
to find.)
Point is, it does seem to recognize an external USB floppy drive
just fine, and maybe even be willing to boot from one ...

Broadcom 4312
by jarmo
Hi
Noticed that wireless broadcom 4312 stopped working with latest
kernel updates. It works with kernel 26.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAE, but
not anymore with 26.33.6-147 series.
Anyone seen this also? It's in HP-pavillion dv-9000 laptop. I didn't
found anything in logs. Modbrobe.d there is b43 blacklisted, but then
b34-wl-openfwwf options in openfwwf.conf. What's difference
between these kernels?

building a custom live CD/DVD image
by John Aldrich
Any tips for building a custom Live Image? I need some AS/400 terminals and
would prefer to use linux, if I can. IF I can build my own image, I
wouldn't need a hard drive to install to.
Thanks!
