Frankly, I can't understand why you've been moderated in the first place unless somebody malicious made an unfounded complaint.

Bit of a problem with FireFox in Fedora 16
by Roger 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Using my Fedora 16 on a home installation as a development system. I have 2 sites on VPS remote server, one for dev and one as a live site both using Drupal 7 fully updated. Developing on the dev site, using Drupal 7 firefox locks up for about 3 minutes with one of my CPU's running at 98% with 2 gig memory running at 88%. Other CPU at 12-14%. Once the CPU and memory drop off it's back to normal. I do note that it seems to be only one function in Drupal where this happens, changing a Content Type settings. Does not happen with making similar changes in the the live site which is on the same server but different directory. Is it likely that SELinux may be causing this, if so how do I check and what should I look at to try to fix please. What other things would cause a lock up of firefox for such a long time. Other apps work but slowly because of memory and CPU usage, mouse and keyboard works. None of this happens with the same drupal install on my home dev system. I have run out of ideas on where to look to find causes so if anyone can advise that'd be great. Thanks in advance Roger

Fedora fails to boot with systemd-journald failing
by Daniel Landau 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

I posted this question on ask Fedora ( http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/2612/fedora-fails-to-boot-with-system…), but didn't get any answer so I'm asking here also. My computer is in a totally useless state, as I can not boot at all. What I did was I tried to join my root, boot and home partitions into one. I copied the files, updated the grub config and /etc/fstab and recreated the initramfs, all this from a live Fedora environment. Now I can't boot, instead the system hangs at an endless loop printing something like (typing it here from memory) "[FAILED] can't start systemd journal service" over and over again. What can I do to fix my system? Daniel Landau

Thunderbird keeps crashing on F17 in x86-64
by Temlakos 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Any attempt to write a message (no matter what it is), or look in the add-on manager, results in a crash. Furthermore, it's difficult to say what else will cause it to crash. No other package from fedora causes this problem. -- Temlakos <temlakos(a)gmail.com>

Screen stopped blanking
by Matthew Saltzman 07 Oct '12

07 Oct '12

I have a Dell Latitude E6410 with an nVidia graphics card, using the nouveau driver and the GNOME desktop on F17. Recently, the laptop screen stopped blanking when idle in X mode. I've modified the screen-blank settings, to no avail. If I switch to a virtual console, blanking works fine. It's possible that the change occurred with a kernel update or an X update, but the nouveau driver hasn't been updated since June. Any hints what might have changed or what I might look for to get it working again? TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

How can I stop Skype starting up at login on my Fedora-17/KDE laptop? It is not listed in ~/.config/autostart/ or in ~/.kde/Autostart/ or even ~/.kde/share/autostart/ . (In fact all these are empty.) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Good day all I am working on writing basic shell scripts for my certification. Does any one know of some good Linux programming web site tutorials or programming sites where I can get some help? These sites hopefully will have Ppt (Power Point tutorials) Thank you. George
