Location of LaTeX dtx sources?
by Todd Hesla
Dear Fedora/LaTeX users:
Can anyone point me to the package(s) containing the LaTeX ".dtx" source files?
They don't seem to be present in my default TeXLive install (on Fedora 18), and
I rather not have to manually look through all those TeXLive packages on the
Fedora repo.
Thanks.

F19 boot hangs on sendmail
by Beartooth
I'm running F19 on a T30 thinkpad, upgraded iirc by means of
fedup from F18 (which ran fine).
Boot messages seem fairly normal (apart from being faint and red-
shifted), until they reach sendmail. I get "Started ....Agent" followed
(on the same line, not a new line) by "Starting ....Client ..."
I can ssh in from another machine on my LAN.

Gimp text tool crashes
by Martin S
I was trying to do a simple banner for a site using Gimp on Fedora 19.
Selecting a font other than the default crashes Gimp. I can reproduce this
100% by either trying to scroll for a font or selecting something else than
the default a couple of times.
Extremely annoying, anyone else seen this and fixed it? Searches gives me
nothing useful =(

Accessing usb in text
by Richard Vickery
Hi gang,
I'm stuck in a text environment. I want to save stuff in /home to a USB
drive but I forget how it is mapped / how the GUI accesses it; I know that
it is under /run, and after this I am lost.
Thanks for any help,

Weird network problem
by Phil Dobbin
Hi, all.
I've got several machines on a LAN behind a NAT with DHCP assigning
always the same addresses from a dynamic IP.
A couple of days ago the IP changed & since then, one of the machines
running Fedora 17 always fails first time to connect to the network:
launch Thunderbird, no start screen, first attempt to check mail, it
tells me that there's no network connection, second attempt it connects.
The scheduled DejaDup backup always fails with no network but will run
manually no problem. Firefox can't find Google but the Nagios
web interface is fine as is all the cli stuff (ping, ssh, etc).
Most annoyingly, yum update goes through every mirror before partially
downloading part of the updates & if the updates are large, it takes
about three attempts to get them all installed.
I'd like to clear this up naturally especially as in the next couple of
weeks I'll be upgrading this box to Fedora 18 & the last thing I need is
a dodgy network connection.
All the machines below are on the same LAN & they all work fine after
the IP address change, it's only the Fedora box that's causing problems.
Any help appreciated. I'm stuck.
Cheers,
Phil...

Can some one help, please ?

Thunderbird Lightning right click broken
by Jonathan Ryshpan
When I right click on a date (not an event) in Lightning, many of the
options are greyed out (and don't work). Exactly:
New Event: Grey/inactive (NOT Normal), Double click works properly
New Task: Grey/inactive (NOT Normal)
Previous Week: Black/active
Next Week: Black/active
Cut: Grey/inactive (Normal)
Copy: Grey/inactive (Normal)
Paste: Grey/inactive, Even after copying an event (NOT normal)
Copy appears to work properly; an event copied shows up in KDE's Klipper
tool.
I am running Fedora-19 with all updates installed using the KDE desktop
on 8x6_64 hardware. In particular:
KDE 4.11.1
thunderbird-17.0.9-1.fc19.x86_64
thunderbird-lightning-1.9.1-2.fc19.x86_64
Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas for a cure?
Thanks - jon
