Theme space
by Lawrence E Graves
Is there a way to scroll in while the theme selecting mode. Is there a
limit to the number gnome-shell themes that will display on the screen.

Theunderbird alternative spellchecker -
by Bob Goodwin
I can spell fairly well but I am a lousy typist and
frequently mistype words, mostly transpose letters or drop
one. The spellchecker with Thunderbird 6.0 seems worse than
ever, the suggestions it lists are frequently bizarre. Has
anyone else observed this and hopefully found an alternative?

Fedora 15 is a lot like Windows OS's.. irritating, offensive, difficult to use with ease, nauseating to try...
by Linda McLeod
I love this Fedora-14, and everything Red Hat, but Fedora-15 is a lot
like those vile Windows OS's.. irritating, offensive, difficult to use
with ease, and gosh awful gaudy... Sorry, but to me it just is.. I
tried it for a week, and formatted it off the hard drive, and snapped
the CD in-two.. And I'm told that F-14 dies in a few months, which I
suppose means that there won't be any more security an function
updates.. A sad day on planet-earth when F-14 dies...
Would someone please tell me.. Why is F-15 such a mess..? The worst
thing is the jumbled up desktop..
And there's nothing in right click.. And you can't run two home files
simultaneous.. I need that for script and photo editing... You can't
remove a desktop image from the file.. You can't delete the top
toolbar, nor the other bits of junk, to make a clean desktop... Office
isn't in the program options... All in all Fedora-15 is a mess as far
as I'm concerned... No offence meant in the slightest to the geniuses
and lords at Red Hat.. I love the Linux core people for what they do
for humanity, but this F-15 is a very bad change.. I just can't use
that horrid F-15 OS.. It fights me.. It feels like it hates me.. It
doesn't do what I need an OS to do.. F-15 is a just a big mistake..
You'll see...

Howto avoid a process beeing paged out?
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
I run a time-critical application on a vServer which seems to have very
little memory (even 512mb are guaranteed).
Every page that hasn't been accessed the last few minutes is immediatly
swapped out, and if a request comes in the system is busy many seconds
loading the working-set of the application into memory again.
Is there any way to prevent applications from beeing swapped out?
I tried to call mlock(), but after this call dynamically loading shared
libraries failed :/
Thanks, Clemens

selinux + mailman +postfix security problem (F14)
by Fulko Hew
On Fedora 14, I am setting up postfix and mailman.
I had this working once, but I decided to yum erase postfix and mailman
and redo the configuration to prove I knew how to recreate it.
Turns out I don't know how to recreate a working combination
because when creating a new list I now have mailman error log that
talks about:
command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/mailman/aliases (status: 1,
Operation not permitted)
and a corresponding AVC error:
Aug 25 10:28:54 (null) (null): audit(1314282534.501:4326): avc: denied {
search } for
pid=12121 comm=postalias name=postfix ino=295074 dev=dm-0
scontext=system_u:system_r:mailman_cgi_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:postfix_etc_t:s0 tclass=dir
Suggestions?

Any way to disable wireless roaming?
by Sam Varshavchik
I'm in hotel with multiple access points, apparently. The wireless is a bit
dodgy. I see this pop up fairly regularly in /var/log/messages:

C4:10:8A:15:F6:99 (Wyndham-Guest) to C4:10:8A:15:ED:49 (Wyndham-Guest)
Looks like every few minutes I'm hopping between access points. Any way to
disable this – latch on to one of the access points, and stick ith it?

Going back a few days I can see that ausearch reports a lot of AVC messages regarding wine-preloader and skype, but I can't imagine they're relevant here.

Help requested: Dosemu/Dosbox
by Sanjay Arora
Hello all
I have an old xbase/clipper program that I need to run on Linux. Tried it
some time ago on Dosemu on CentOS. Need to run it on Fedora now as the new
hardware does not load CentOS.
Found that Dosemu is missing from Fedora 15 and Dosbox is there instead.
However, it clearly states that printing is not a priority for it and I need
to print out to a Dot-Matrix printer.
Can someone advise why Dosemu has been dropped? And strangely I cannot find
any repo that I can enable while maintaining fedora with protectbase yum
plugin....google searches yield rpm search engines with downloadable rpms
but I can't seem to get to a repo.
Can someone please advise? Graphics & sound are not an issue for me and the
use case is accounting.
With best regards.
Sanjay.
