Fedora-core applications can't be killed fully from terminal !
by Ankit Patel
I have run the "hwbrowser" from the menu. Then i tried
to kill hwbrowser from terminal.
1.kill pid_of_hwbrowser
--> This command kills only binary (hwbrowser) run by
the normal user, not the main application because
there are many (3) processes running along with
hwbrowser. and they are.
[ankit@ankit ~]$ ps -aux | grep hwbrowser
Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See
/usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.3/FAQ
ankit 6355 1.0 1.5 18460 8108 pts/2 S
12:38 0:00 hwbrowser
root 6356 0.0 0.2 7472 1396 pts/2 S
12:38 0:00 /usr/sbin/userhelper -w hwbrowser
root 6360 0.0 0.1 6772 952 pts/2 S
12:38 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/share/hwbrowser/hwbrowser
root 6361 8.1 3.3 28276 16976 pts/2 S
12:38 0:01 /usr/bin/python
/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py
ankit 6370 0.0 0.1 5816 660 pts/2 R+
12:39 0:00 grep hwbrowser
[ankit@ankit ~]$
2. So, i thought i need to kill all other processes
also along with hwbrowser. So,
[ankit@ankit ~]$ killall -g hwbrowser
[1]+ Terminated hwbrowser
[ankit@ankit ~]$ ps -aux | grep hwbrowser
Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See
/usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.3/FAQ
root 6360 0.0 0.1 6772 952 pts/2 S
12:38 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/share/hwbrowser/hwbrowser
root 6361 1.2 3.3 28276 16976 pts/2 S
12:38 0:01 /usr/bin/python
/usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py
ankit 6373 0.0 0.1 4652 656 pts/2 R+
12:40 0:00 grep hwbrowser
Still gui of hwbrowser running.
If you have run hwbrowser from Menu (gui) then --> All
other gui applications closed and gnome-panel
restarted.
If you have run hwbrowser from same terminal (console)
then --> Other gui applications and gnome-panel will
not get affected.
3. So, finally i thought i need to be root to kill all
the instances of hwbrowser. And,
[root@ankit ~]# ps -aux | grep hwbrowser
Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See
/usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.3/FAQ
root 6412 0.0 0.1 4656 668 pts/2 S+
12:47 0:00 grep hwbrowser
[root@ankit ~]#
Now hwbrowser killed fully...
If you have run hwbrowser from Menu (gui) then --> All
other gui applications closed and gnome-panel
restarted.
If you have run hwbrowser from same terminal (console)
then --> Other gui applications and gnome-panel will
not get affected.
This is not specific to hwbrowser only but most of the
applications created in python included in fedora-core
software.
So, i want to know is there any solution to kill
hwbrowser(which have been running from Menu(gui) not
from the same terminal) without affecting other
applications?
Thank You!

FC4 GNOME 2.10 a bit slow on Toshiba Satellite A40
by Yordanis Tornes Medina
Hi
I have a Toshiba Laptop (2.8 GHz, 768 MB RAM, TOSHIBA
MK4025GAS 4200 rpm) with Fedora Core 4 (GNOME 2.10)
installed, I note that is a slightly slow, for
example, when I boot the first time that I click the
GNOME menu panel it delay a few seconds in open,
during this process my HD reach 100 % of utilization.
Any body know why?

Evolution troubles with Connector / Exchange
by Karl Pitrich
Hi,
upgrading my corporate workstation from RH9+Ximian Desktop (Evolution
1.4+Ximian Connector) to FC4 seems to cause major headache when
connecting Evolution to Exchange, whereas things worked really fine
with RH9/Ximian.
Basically, Evolution freezes randomly, most times while 'scanning for
changes messages' but also at other operations.
Furthermore, calendar and addressbook wont work at all, Evo gets
stuck also while attempting to autocomplete an address.
well, every Xth startup, the addressbook actually works...
- Are problems with Evolution/Exchange a known issue?
- Is anyone actually using that combination?
- best way to provide debug info?
(CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 E2K_DEBUG=5 don't yield useful results)
- strace reveals, that evo and evo-exchange wait on a futex,
sometimes the network connection seems to have been disconnected.
thanks for any hints,
/ pit

So what about Gnome 2.12?
by Ali Sobhi
I'm trying to compile Gnome 2.12 on FC4 (Intel-32) using jhbuild. Running
into few problems.
Has anyone successfully compiled Gnome 2.12 on FC4?
BTW, using jhbuild for Gnome-2.12 (not the HEAD) is not going to do the
trick. Stuff break.
Regards,
Ali Sobhi

fingerworks touchstream/igesture problem with click/drag events (FC1 -> FC3/FC4)
by Msquared
I'm not sure which list to post to, so I thought I'd try these three
(other users, hardcore testers, and desktop-specific).
I have a Fingerworks Touchstream keyboard. It's basically a USB-based
input device that looks (to the host computer) like a USB keyboard plus
USB mouse. It behaves like the little laptop touch pads, but can track
multiple fingers simultaneously and map such movements and gestures to
keystrokes, mouse clicks, mouse movements, combinations, and sequences of
all of that, too. (I mention the iGesture pad since it's a cut-down
version of the Touchstream, and may suffer the same problem; hopefully
someone else will have come across this issue with either a Touchstream or
an iGesture).
Anyway, that's the background. Generally, this device works beautifully
under FC1. I'm about to move to FC4, but I have discovered a problem:
when I click-and-drag, the pointer moves a short distance before the click
seems to take effect. For simple actions, such as moving icons on the
desktop, it's annoying, but not critical. When using paint applications,
however, it's downright frustrating.
The problem occurs when using the device on FC3 or FC4 (I haven't tried
FC2). If I go back to FC1, the problem completely goes away.
I did run xev to see what X thinks is going on, and as it happens, when I
do a click/drag under FC4 there actually are a few MotionNotify events
before the ButtonPress event. Under FC1, the ButtonPress event always
comes first.
The only thing that comes readily to mind is that FC1 is XFree86 and
FC3/FC4 is xorg.
Is there some sort of internal difference that affects the order of
processing of events? Is there some way I can delve deeper into the X
event queues to find out what's different, and possibly fix it?
Note that there is no driver required for the Touchstream, as it presents
to the host machine as a simple USB keyboard and USB mouse (plus an
additional USB device for programming, but that's not normally used).

hibernate in gnome 2.10
by samuel cheung
Hi,
I am using gnome 2.10 on Fedora 4.
I would like to know if there is a hibernate for gnome 2.10? If yes, how to
use that.
I try the gnome 2.12 live cd, and I notice there is a hibernate function.
But i can't find
the same hibernate on 2.10.
Thanks for any help.
