Why SIGKILL signal not terminate a process?
by Franta Hanzlík
On my Fedora 19 i686 I see weird thing - when killing processes (by
commands as:
killall -9 kactivitymanagerd
killall -9 gam_server
killall -9 kded4
killall -9 systemd
killall -9 atril
or with PID:
kill -9 1 1322 10612 10619
), then processes stay running - they are not zombies (for PID=1 be
zombie perhaps does not make sense), but eat CPU, occupy memory etc.
I cannot say this behavior is always (I'm killing processes only when
I need it), but I saw this several times, with last Fedora distros.
It is bad glibc signal() implementation or what else?

couple questions about LVM setup during f19 installation
by Robert P. J. Day
(been a while since i've used fedora extensively, am now switching
back so first few questions might be on the simple side.)
first, during an f19 install, i chose to do an LVM install and
explicitly selected a small number of logical volumes to create but i
wanted the single volume group itself to encompass the entire
remaining 300G of the hard drive, so i could later just "lvcreate"
more logical volumes in the free space in that volume group.
instead, while i *thought* i had specified that i wanted the volume
group to max out on the hard drive, it was created only large enough
to hold the fixed-size logical volumes i selected. so at this point, i
would have to create another PV for the rest of the hard drive, and
extend the volume group to encompass that. what should i have selected
during install to specify that i wanted the volume group to consist of
a single PV that took up the entire remaining part of the hard drive?
and, second, once the system was running, i checked out the alleged
kickstart file that was created that would represent the installation,
and for the disk layout, all i saw was the directive:
autopart --type=lvm
i was expecting to see a more detailed breakdown of the way i defined
my logical volumes -- is that not included in the auto-generated
kickstart file?
thanks muchly.

Deliberate or not, it was at least interesting. If using a separate
client it can be quite easy, but that normally leaves a more apparent
signature in the header showing it's been received by smtp or similar.
The problem is that however it's done this is apparently accomplished
in just the gmail web interface. (You could also I suppose, if really
trolling, compose each reply as a new mail, cutting and pasting,
hadn't really considered that possibility.)
It turns out if you use the 'edit subject' option gmail drops the
references and in-reply-to (even if you don't actually edit the
subject). Arguably this is exactly what you don't want to happen,
since you can't edit a subject to indicate something like 'solved' or
the that topic has drifted. Anyway, apologies, I've tried it in this
email to demonstrate. There may be other ways to accomplish it.
If AP is doing this unintentionally then you can avoid it by using the
'pop-out' option to get an pop-out window rather than edit subject
which gets the pop-out but also breaks references.

Sure, but I really just use Reply button. I never changed the subject

Man, you bet without any guarantee! There seems no logic. Asking
questions and gaining from user's experiences counts, no more a

Audio from Win 7 guest VM decided to work, all of a sudden
by Sam Varshavchik
After just installing a new Windows 7 guest, I was surprised to hear some
scratchy audio, from Windows, when it booted.
I never had any luck getting any audio from guest VMs. I have a different,
existing Windows 7 VM that's not producing any audio, on a different laptop.
So now that, apparently, in F19 you can have audio passthrough from guest
VMs, anyone knows what knobs need to be tweaked on an existing VM, to enable
audio passthrough? Or, maybe it's hardware specific, and depends on audio
hardware capabilities.

is something wrong with email server?
by Edward M
Just started reading emails and noticed AP's emails are scattered all
over the place.
Is there something wrong with fedora's email server that is scattering
emails?
