Fedora 16: quota command for NFS shares
by Rich Boyce
Hello list,
In Fedora 14, running 'quota' whilst in an NFS share showed the user
quota for the share. In Fedora 16, it does not. Any idea how to get this
working?
Thanks,
Rich

Bug 648732 – Intel wireless broken on 11n for many users
by Lawrence E Graves
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648732
Based on this bug report, is there a fix for this problem. I am unable
to install my nvidia drivers because of this bug. I don't understand it
at all. Every time I installed the drivers and reboot this is the
results. I don't know why these two programs are in conflict but it
seems they are. Will somebody take a look at this problem.
I am running Fedora 16/64-bit on Dell 9400 Inspiron with a Quadro
FX2500m video card.

KVM virtual machine transfer query
by Sanjay Arora
Hello all
I have a question. Can a kvm virtual machine, a linux or windows guest,
generated of fedora, be transfered to a rhel machine and started? or vice
versa?
Please note, I am not talking of live migration. Just transferring files
generated on one OS & running on the another? And what if hardware of the
machines is different?
With best regards.
Sanjay.

question on gdb
by Paul Allen Newell
Community:
I am trying to run gdb on a program that is crashing and I am getting
messages of:
+++
Missing separate debuginfos, use debug-install glibc-2.13.2.x86_64
libgcc-4.5.1.fc14.x86_64 libg++-4.5.1.fc14.x86_64
libstdc++-4.5.1.fc14.x86_64
---
Googling is not giving me anything that I either understand or trust.
Querying yum with -list isn't giving me any insight.
Is this message asking me to add something to the compile line or
something to gdb? And, in either case, what is it asking for.
I'm hoping someone on this list has run into this debugging C++ and can
clue me into where I need to look.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Gnome and Xfce don't play well together
by Aaron Konstam
This happened in F15 and I thought I was just ignorant.
Now that it has happened again in F16 I realize it is a software
problem.
When Gnome is configured for a user and then the user tries to use Xfce
they find that the Xfce is corrupted in various ways. Namely:
1. when Firefox is run the top menu choices can not be used. You click
on Edit for example and you see the Edit menu, When you move the cursor
down the menu and the menu disappears.
2. Gnome display image bleeds into Xfce.
3. Evolution after awhile has the same problem as Firefox.
4. Running the Software Update program causes the update window to be so
large that you can't see the options like "Install" at the bottom of the
window,
5. You can't set up multiple workspaces.
etc., etc and so forth.
In F15 the corruptions were slightly different. Foe example the menu you
got when you clicked on the Desktop was the Gnome menu not the Xfce
menu.
Other strange things happened like you get a view of the home directory
immediately when you log in to Xfce,
It would be interesting to hear whether others have seen similar
effects.

Printing at 600 dpi makes everything twice as big
by Jonathan Ryshpan
When I print a page with Image Quality -> Resolution at 300 dpi
everything works fine, but when I print at Image Quality -> Resolution
at 600 dpi everything prints twice as large as it ought to with
resolution (I believe) at 300 dpi. The page that's printed shows only
the upper left quarter of the image that should be printed. I've had
this problem in the past (Fedora-15), but only with the Gimp and
Gutenprint; now it happens all the time.
System Info:
4 CPU x86_64 hardware
Fedora-16 with all updates installed
KDE 4.7.3
cups-1.5.0-22.fc16.x86_64
Brother HL1440 Printer
Default printer resolution is 300 dpi
Any suggestions?

F16: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and MTP
by Steven F. LeBrun
Has anyone succeeded in mounting the SD Card built into the Samsung
Galaxy Tab 10.1 on Fedora?
It wants to use MTP for the USB connection and I have not found the
right combination of software to correctly mount the tablet as a file
system. The MTP mounted tablet causes RhythmBox to crash when it tries
to connect to the tablet as a music player.
I have read some information about mtpfs. Does anyone know where this
software can be found?
MTP == Media Transfer Protocol.

Re: Re: Tablet Acer Iconia W500, anyone?
by Fernando Lozano
Hi,
> It's my understanding that Google has released the complete source for
the latest Android. Someone please correct if I'm wrong.
> John
Releasing the sources is not enough for me. Android is developed at
closed doors, and the source released afterwards, or not released at all,
like it happened wth 3.0 / Honeycomb. I don't know how hard is to do
something usefull with those sources. Sometimes you find "complete" sources
available but an incomplete/not documented/not automared build process, and
the sources are pretty useless without a huge effort.
Not mentioning that all android devices on the market use ARM cpus. Maybe
the current sources need significant porting effort for x86.
Current Android requires programming for their specic APIs: no X, no
LibreOffice, no Gimp, no Inkscape...
A tablet like the Acer Iconia W500 has the same specs as a current netbook,
so I could use it sometimes as a tradicional netbook and say edit ODT
documents, and sometimes as a tablet, using the touch interface for
multimedia and web browsing. It even helps that by providing a doc with
keyboard, full-size usb and vga ports. So today I could do with it things I
cannot do with a tablet.
My question is, on the tablet side, anyone has tried Fedora on the Iconia,
and found it nice to use with touch-screen only?
