xspice howto
by Aleksandar Kostadinov
Hello, could anybody that know put a short howto for using xspice [1] on
local machine?
For example I want to run xspice as one user and connect to it from my
DE so I have a desktop of another user in a window of my current DE.
Please CC me in replies.
Thank you!

skge net module busted in fedora19 3.11 kernel
by Nate Pearlstein
Looks like the skge module for some ethernet cards is busted in 3.11 kernel. Had to revert to 3.10
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg250997.html
Hopefully this gets reverted...

HDA jack retasking
by Raman Gupta
I have Intel HDA Audio on my motherboard (Asus P9X79 PRO). This
chipset has the capability to retask jacks for another purpose, for
example changing a line out jack to a headphone jack.
Has anyone successfully retasked an audio jack (specifically, on my
motherboard, the blue Line Out jack) to a headphone?
I found a post on pulseaudio-discuss re. this hda-jack-retask program
which seems to imply it can be done, but it didn't seem to work (I
didn't try every available combination however):

hard disk install repo=hd:.... vs stage2=hd:...
by Jackson Byers
If this is a repeat, my apologies; I sent it several days ago
and haven't seen it in the "piper" history.
If this is a repeat, my apologies; I sent it several days ago
and haven't seen it in the "piper" history.
I have done hard disk installs using dvd.iso in the past several tilmes:
f11,f12, f14, all using something llke
title Install Fedora 14 hd0,0 sda1, repo=hd:/dev/sdb1:/root/df14iso
root (hd0,0) #sda1
kernel /f14install/vmlinuz-install repo=hd:/dev/sdb1:/root/df14iso
initrd /f14install/initrd.img-install
I presume the above would still work for f19
with obvious changes using grub2.
lately I have attempted using f19 netinst.iso.,
for which I found following advice
menuentry 'Fedora 19 netinst' {
linux /vmlinuz-install stage2=hd:/dev/sda9:root/Fedora-19-i386-netinst.iso
initrd /initrd.img-install
}
Note "stage2=' not "repo="
Is "stage2=" intended only for netinst.iso,
and
"repo=" intended only for dvd,iso ?
or, just when can I use "stage2="
just when can I use "repo=" ?
I tried the above menuentry 'Fedora 19 netinst' with its "stage2="
and the installer came up
but I couldn't manage the installer--
it seemed to insist on using all available space,
and I could find no way to change that.
and the install failed,
with my usb external now forrmatted with 4 more large partitions.
These I probably can remove with gparted........
If there is any general advice re
using dvd.iso vs netinst.iso
it would be greatly appreciated

Script Help (Bash)
by Frank Murphy
Still haven't mastered bash, not even a jack (
Have strung some command(s) together in /etc/cron.daily
#!/bin/bash
## Download no-bebug rawhide kernel
/usr/bin/cd /var/cache/yum/x86_64/20/fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug-source/packages
&& \ /usr/bin/reposync --source -n =fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug
kernel && \
## used to rebuild new no-debug
## Rawhide kernels for non eol FedoraN
/usr/local/bin/mock-kernel ---> (which is below question)
Question: How do I prevent the above line from happening if nothing
new was downloaded?
#!/bin/bash
## rebuild no-debug kernel using mock
cd /etc/mock && \
/usr/bin/mock -r fedora-20-x86_64

Blank Screen after login on Fedora 19
by Craig Lanning
I have a laptop in a dock with an external monitor. In Fedora 18, I
configured it use the external monitor as the primary display and to
turn the laptop screen off.
The machine in question has the following configuration:
HP EliteBook 8560p
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon 6400M
Docking Station with 1920x1080 monitor (connected via DVI) and wired
network.
Fedora 19 64-bit
If I create a new user, I can log into the new user just fine. I see
both monitors with the laptop screen being primary. If I change it so
that the external monitor is primary and the laptop screen is off, I can
reboot and login just fine. After I customize the desktop a bit, when I
reboot and login, I get a blank screen with a mouse pointer, but it
never goes any further.
I've seen comments about changing the display manager to either kdm or
lightdm, but neither of those helped. It still behaved the same. I even
found a comment about logging in to a text system (no display manager)
and using 'startx' to start the desktop. I tried that, but it still
behaved the same.
Is there some way I can regain control of the user?
Is there a way I can reactivate the laptop screen without using the
Display applet in the gnome-control-center?
