I am still booted in the 3.7.0-git kernel because it is keeping the disks from sleeping or it is properly waking the disks up before committing reads and writes. However, because of the current kswapd, building a kernel is taking an inordinately long time, so it will be likely 2 or 3 days on my old unicore Athlon64 3700+ before I can boot the new 3.7X

Printing multiple files results in hold
by Matthew Saltzman 01 Dec '12

01 Dec '12

Fedora 17, fully up to date. Shared printer from an F17 server. The printer itself is a network printer using IPP. Tried with two different printers, with the same result. Using lp or lpr to print several plain text files with a single command seems to result in the print job being held in the queue. Releasing the job with system-config-printer results in the job vanishing into thin air. Printing the files one at a time works as expected. Has anyone else seen this behavior? -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

server-optimized Fedora, web-based desktop.
by 金本淳志 01 Dec '12

I have two ideas. 1st, server-optimized Fedora. It's stable and small pack of Fedora that support only server-side. 2nd, web-desktop Fedora. It's desktop like Google Chrome OS, but all apps by Web transparent.

Trying to dl F18 beta. Public mirror list shows which mirrors support rsync. But I don't know how to find dir path to iso. Hovering mouse over rsync link doesn't show full path to iso. rsync -Pv rsync://mirror---------------/Fedora-18-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso . -- Robert Arkiletian Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada
