Flash-Plugin SOLVED
by mike
yum localinstall worked like a champ. I was looking in the wrong
place trying to find the answer in rpm.
Yes, I am posting from my XP platform as I am trying to bring the new
laptop up to speed on Fedora and have not configured Thunderbird on it yet.
Thanks for the help!

generating PDF's via code - looking for ideas
by CS DBA
Hi All;
I'm looking for a way to generate a PDF report based on a set of data in a
database and a set of pre-generated graphs via some sort of procedural
method based on a template.
We tried to do this via open office & it's templating features but this
process requires us to first generate an odt file based on xml and then open
the open office odt file and export to a PDF, unfortunately our first stab
generated a 150GB odt file. This is of course an unacceptable method. So,
I'm looking for a way to generate PDF's straight away as described above.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Suspend/sleep
by Roger K. Wells
Months ago when I started using Fedora 13 from Centos 5.3
one of the reasons was that things just worked. Things
like suspend when the laptop lid is closed. Lately starting
perhaps six weeks ago the probability of a successful suspension
and subsequent wake up seems to be about 50%-60%.
My question is what can I check to gather evidence about what's
going on and how to fix it?
uname -r: 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64
Machine: Lenovo X200 Thinkpad.
TIA,

Fedora SMP and 12 core cpu's
by JD
I was browsing for info on 12 core cpu's and found
that AMD released them or announced back in March.
The price is steep of course.
What I would like to know is the degree of granularity
of the SMP implementation in Linux.
Does anyone have an inside track on that?
Or point to some internal documentation?

help - can't boot 2.6.34
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak
Hi all,
My HP DC7800 with encrypted Intel SSD can boot:
kernel-2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64
but not the 2.6.34 kernels like:
kernel-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64
The screen goes blank very early in the boot process, before the disk
passphrase is requested. It happens so fast that I can't read the
limited text that appears on the screen, and the disks are not mounted
for logging...
Anyway... maybe this rings a bell for someone?
Removing and re-installing the 2.6.34 kernel doesn't fix anything.

Fedora Core RPMs archive
by Jerome Benoit
Hello,
Is there a site somewhere having a comprehensive archive of all Fedora
release (RPMs, iso, etc.) that can be rsynced ?
archive.fedoraproject.org seems to have everything but I'm not sure it
can be rsynced ...
Cheers.

disable desktop background in fedora 13 (LXDE)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I was wondering how one does it: I have been looking at the Preferences
-> Desktop but I can not find a way to have it take nothing as the
background. Previously, in F10,11,12, I recall that there was a button
somewhere which said no background. I can not find it here.
Any help?
Many thanks!

what could "use up" X forwarding connections?
by Tom Horsley
Anyone have any clues about what could "use up" some resource
used to create a forwarded X connection (ssh -X)?
I've got these testbeds that run 24/7 on random collections
of both real and virtual machines, and they are all started
from inside a VNC session using ssh -X to get to the target
test machine. The theory is that any test which needs a X
server will be happy with the VNC server.
After running for a few months, tests sometime start failing
because they can't open the X server. Reboot the host (which
is running fedora 13) and recreate the VNC server and things
work again.
Seems like something is getting "used up" that the reboot
cleans up, but I haven't been able to find out what
that something is :-).

NFS Buffering
by Simon Andrews
I have a fedora 13 box on which I have a remote mounted nfs share over a
fairly slow (10Mb/s) link. I'm then transferring data onto this share
from a different machine using scp.
The problem is that after scp reports that it's 100% complete the
program will hang for ~20 mins before it will move on to another file.
At this point it can't be killed.
It looks like the nfs daemon is caching write data (around 2GB of it)
which lets scp think its finished when actually there's loads of data
sitting in a write buffer. The hanging is presumably the time it takes
to flush the buffer (there is a process called nfsiod which is active
during this time and df shows data is still being written).
Does anyone know how to either make this buffer smaller, or get rid of
it all together so the scp can accruately report on its progress?
Thanks
Simon.
