Gnome Planner and Database support
by Chris Kottaridis
I am running Fedora 14.
I want to use the planner for small personal projects and I want to be
able to view my plan from different hosts around the house.
In the docs for Gnome Planner it says you can save to a PostgreSQL
database.
So, I set u pa PostgresSQL database per the instructions in the planner
help User Guide. I have the PostgresSQL running. I can use pgAdmin III
to connect to it and can see the plannerdb that the instrucitons have
you initialize.
So, I sit down at the host that I had previous saved the plan to a file
and the instructions say to save to a database use:
File->Export->Save to Database
But, no such option appears in the Export drop down menu. Only
Planner 0.11 Format
HTML
I am assuming the database option isn't configured somehow or wasn't
compiled in or something.
Anyone know how to get the database option available in gnome planner?
Thanks

problem with cron.d/0hourly
by Paul Allen Newell
In a fresh install of f14 x86_64, I am getting a failure when
/etc/cron.d/0hourly is run. As it is a fresh install, I am pretty
certain it is a potential bug. I searched the bug base under "cron",
"cron.d", "crontab", and "run-parts" (the call that is in 0hourly), but
didn't see anything.
I submitted Bug 718448 about it and, per Bugzilla home page suggestion,
am querying the community to see if anyone knows about this and/or has a
solution (if there is a solution, be it pilot error or Fedora, I will
update or, hopefully, close the bug).
The summation of the issue is "the default install provided a 0hourly
that fails"
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Bash: (foo==0)?foo=1:foo=0 valid?
by Dan Thurman
I seem to forget my shell programming
but is the following statement valid?
($foo==0)?foo=1:foo=0
I thought it was called the tristate conditional
operator but in any case I could not find it in
google.

Acrobat reader doesn't work under Konqueror
by Vinny Onelli
Hello,
I Installed f15 -gnome, but I didn't like, I couldn't find any thing and
after a couple of days of struggling I decided that I had need to do
some work and relearn a completely a new way to find my way
around I decided to install f15-KDE here all thaw I never used before
I was able to do more in less time learning.
I found, however, a problem with Acrobat reader. I accessed
the Atmel side and try to load a spec sheet for a AT24C16 before
installing acrobat, didn't do any thing but a message saying it was
required Acrobat reader. I downloaded and installed Acrobat and try
again I got the same result, however, I try by double click on pdf file
and Acrobat ran and loaded the file OK (the screen was scrambled
at the very beginning and cleared out as soon the file was loaded).
By the way, I try to download the spec sheet using another
computer and worked OK.
I will appreciate if some one can help me out

installing F-15 on Mac
by linuxnutster＠videotron.ca
I have a friend with an intel-based i-mac. He seems interested in trying
linux. I assume fedora can be installed on Mac and it can also dualboot?
The google info was a bit sketchy. Answers on this list tend to be far
more precise.

f15 sync slow after couple of days
by Rich Emberson
When I first start my machine, a sync takes less than a second
and compiling a small Java project takse 34 seconds.
After running for two days, a sync takes 25 to 30 seconds (and running
sync just after a sync still takes that long)
and compiling the same Java project takes 5 to 8 minutes.
Where do I look to try and find out what is slowing stuff down?
I've got 1 500M, 2 1T and 1 2T disks on the system.

About Fedora bugs
by Bill Davidsen
We were talking the other day, people were mentioning the bugs they got
back from bugzilla recently marked as:
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
People were saying that the same problem got the same message a year
ago, but it said "Fedora 11" that time. So I have a suggestion, if no
one in the support group looks at a bug in 180 days, close it with a
DONTCARE status and tell the submitter that no one could be bothered to
even look at the bug in half a year. And do the same thing if a bug sits
in NEEDINFO for six months, if no one responds in that length of time
they probably no longer care.
Users have this unrealistic view that there is a queue of bugs and they
get fixed in the order submitted. The truth is that if you don't hear in
a month you probably won't ever hear unless someone else reports it and
triage catches that they are dups. That doesn't always happen, one of
the bugs I had with FC10 was reported as WONTFIX at EOL, and when I
tried to reproduce it found that it had been fixed months before and no
one bothered to update the bug.
Finally, if someone reports a bug in an app, and the tester finds that
it's supposed to work that way, if the documentation says it works some
other way don't change it to NOTABUG, change it to a documentation bug.
If the conflicting documentation is mentioned in the bug report, take a
minute and get it resolved. Please?
My occasional rant when I look at all the time I wasted reporting bugs...

Minimal Kernel Config for a F14 KVM guest
by David Quigley
Hello,
I will be teaching a one day class in a few weeks and I am going to
have the students do some kernel programming. Since it is only a one day
course I need to pack as much info into it as possible so I would like
to minimize the build times as much as possible. The modifications that
they will be making will be touching core kernel headers so it will have
to rebuild almost all of the kernel every time. Because of this I'd like
to get a kernel config that can get F14 booting (the minimal install) in
KVM with the shortest build time possible. I've gotten the build down to
9 minutes and 55 seconds but I would like it sub 5 minutes. Does anyone
have or know of a place where I can find a bare minimum config. I've
been working on trimming down the stock F14 kernel but there is so much
to go through I'm thinking it might be best to build it up from an
allnoconfig instead.
