Can't install python-based(?) widgets
by Anne Wilson 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

"Could not create a python ScriptEngine for the Drop to Imageshack" I've googled and found several messages, mostly about kubuntu, but no solution. What am I missing? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase

kpackagekit ambiguity
by Neal Becker 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

kpackagekit 'review and update', 'not now', and 'do not ask again'. Does that mean 'do not ask again about this particular package', or 'never ask again about any updates'?

securing wake from sleep
by Bill McGonigle 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Is it KDE's job to secure the screen/keyboard behavior when suspending to RAM or disk? I've noticed that on wake, with a password required for wake, that the screen before sleeping is visible before it's blanked. Also, sometimes I can send keyboard input to the system before the blanked screen kicks in. The window of opportunity is pretty small for typing, and I can only read the screen for a few seconds, but it's not a secure wake. I'm testing this on a netbook which takes its sweet time doing anything. Anyway, I don't really know which part of the stack should be handling this - wanted to get some feedback before filing inappropriate bugs.

kernel 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 will not boot
by Tim Wunder 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, Anyone else having a problem booting the 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 kernel? Start-up seems to progress until just before the 2.6.29.4-167 kernel would display 'kjournald starting' on the console. That message never displays on the 2.6.30.5-43 kernel and the system will not boot. Motherboard is an Asus m2n-sli deluxe, fwiw.

If you run a web server, read this
by Anne Wilson 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

This appeared on the CentOS mailing list: <quote> Linked below are details about a new outbreak of hijacked linux web servers that dispense malware. http://blog.unmaskparasites.com/2009/09/11/dynamic-dns-and-botnet-of-zombie- web-servers/ I would highly recommend that you use nmap to scan all your Linux webservers that are connected to the Internet to see if they are listening on port 8080. The best I can tell, there are no articles concerning how these guys installed nginx or what is contained on a machine that has been compromised. But the best way to tell is to see if you are listening on port 8080 (if you are not supposed to be listening there). 8080 is a common port for java apps to be running on, so listening on 8080 is not always necessarily bad.

kdm does not start on rawhide
by José Abílio Matos 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Hi, after the last update kdm does not start on rawhide as it complains that it can find the wallpaper. Before digging too much the only option was to revert to gdm. Is there a report? Should I add this to bugzilla? -- José Abílio
