It does work for me in F14 gnome terminals without doing anything.
set ruler should work.

NetworkManager user agent
by Sam Varshavchik
When selecting a previously unknown wireless network, I am not getting
prompted for the password. NetworkManager just complains in
/var/log/messages that "Access point {name} has security, but secrets are
required", then gives up.
I figured out that I can launch nm-connection-editor, and find my way to an
obscure dialog where I can enter the wireless password, but this seems
wrong. As I recall, selecting an previously unknown network from nm-applet,
should result in me being automatically prompted for the password, directly.
Some googling found this:
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/migrating-to-09/ref-m...
So, which package contains the user agent that prompts for wireless password?

Gnome suggestion
by Digimer
I'm not on the gnome list, and for the sake of one suggestion I figured
I'd toss it out here and see what the Fedora community thinks.
I've come to love Gnome3, but I do miss the system status graphs I used
to have docked on the taskbar. The bottom-left of the screen currently
doesn't have a use, so far as I can tell. So the idea was to have a
corner-bump applet that brought up the CPU, RAM/swap, disk and network
graphs.
Feedback on the idea?

/var/cache/abrt-di
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Looking at my files and diskspace, I note the following:
$ sudo du -sm /var/cache/*
1961 /var/cache/abrt-di
1 /var/cache/cups
1 /var/cache/fontconfig
1 /var/cache/foomatic
1 /var/cache/hald
1 /var/cache/jwhois
1 /var/cache/ldconfig
3 /var/cache/man
1 /var/cache/mash
1 /var/cache/PackageKit
217 /var/cache/yum
Googling on how to reduce this abrt-di beast, I came up with the
solution that you should delete the reports in the abrt GUI tool. But
these are all deleted for me, and I think there must be a better way to
remove this cache? Any suggestions on how to do this cleanly?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

NFS + Kerberos can't mount
by Fernando Lozano
Hi there,
Here I am again with problem mouting a remote NFS share using NFS. The
server is deban but the client is Fedora 15. It used to work using Fedora
14 but after a F15 fresh install I can't mount the remote share. My F15 box
has all updates so far.
I do have connectivity to the kerberos server because kinit my_principal
works fine:
[teste@lgx200 ~]S klist
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_500
Default principal: my_principal@USERS
Valid starting Expires Service principal
10/06/11 16:23:35 10/07/11 16:23:12 krbtgt/USERS@USERS
renew until 10/13/11 16:23:12
The host certificate (/etc/krb5.keytab) also looks fine:
[teste@lgx200 ~]S klist -k
Keytab name: WRFILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
KVNO Principal
----
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 nfs/lgx200.example.com.br@USERS
[teste@lgx200 ~]S klist -k -e
Keytab name: WRFILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
KVNO Principal
----
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 nfs/lgx200.example.com.br@USERS (des-cbc-crc)
I start rpcgssd (with -vvv) and rpcidmapd
[root@lgx200 ~]# ps ax | grep rpc

but when I try to mount:

It looks loke F15 doesn't like the keytab file that used to work on the
same machine using F14.
/etc/sysconfig/nfs has:
SECURE_NFS="yes"
And /etc/krb5.conf has:
[libdefaults]
default_realm = USERS
dns_lookup_realm = false
dns_lookup_kdc = false
ticket_lifetime = 24h
renew_lifetime = 7d
forwardable = true
allow_weak_crypto = true
As I said it used to work and could not find a clue about what to change on
google.

lightspark x flash
by Fernando Lozano
Hi,
I read there are some vocal users of lightspark on the list, so here's a question: A web conferencing application like DimDim or BigBlueButton would work using lightspark instead of Flash?
I Have a problem with recent flash updates in that they "lock" the mic and no other app can get sound while Flash uses the mic. But I need to record audio from the webconference session, which is actually a class. This used to work with older flash plugin releases but isn't working anymore, and Adobe is not responsive to the but which is in their bugtrack for quite some time.
So far the workaround is to use two mics, one for flash and other for the recording app, but sometimes the recorded audio is not as good (mic in different position).
Would lightspark be a solution, allowing me to record exactly the same audio that flash gets from the same mic?

upgrading fedora 11 to the latest version of fedora
by Marek Piatek
Hi guys,
I have been given a workstation with Fedora 11 (Leonidas) installed by our
IT team. I'm running web-based tool on it, purely Perl based. I have also
data there that I would like to keep while upgrading to Fedora 15 (or maybe
wait a ~month longer and upgrade it directly to Fedora 16).
I would like to ask for recommendation on what's the easiest way to jump
through so many releases?
I have basic linux experience since I'm doing some programming. Do I need to
use external storage to be able to upgrade or I can go through yum?
If I could go with yum, I would appreciate if you provide me with the
command.
What other things should I consider before upgrading from Fedora 11 to
Fedora 15 or 16?
Thanks!
