Re: gDesklets in Fedora

Scott,
I think installing pygtk2-devel got me one step further. Now, I'm getting
complaints about gobject not being on the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. I'll keep
digging. Thanks veyr much for the clue.

State of multiple gfx cards support ?
by DAVID BALAZIC
What is the status of multiple gfx card support ?
redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.15-1 only detects my radeon 8500LE AGP card, but
not the SiS 6326 PCI card.

Re: gDesklets in Fedora
by Pankaj Jain
Clifford,
Thanks for the reply. I never installed gDesklets but after seeing your
reply, I decided to download the source and give it a shot. I got the
following errors when trying to compile:
-----------------------
checking for gnome-python-2.0 >= 1.99.14 pygtk-2.0 >= 1.99.14 gdk-2.0
gtk+-2.0... Package pygtk-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pygtk-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pygtk-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gnome-python-2.0 >= 1.99.14
pygtk-2.0 >= 1.99.14 gdk-2.0 gtk+-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a
nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
-----------------------
I'm running FCT3 and have all the packages completely up2date. These are
the packages I have but I can't seem to find gdk-2.0 anywhere ( I'm
assuming pygtk-2.0.pc is in this package b/c I can't find it on my
system). Not even on the FCT3 ISOs or rawhide:
gnome-python2-2.0.0-2
pygtk2-2.0.0-1
gdk-pixbuf-gnome-0.22.0-3.0
gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-3.0
gtk+-1.2.10-28.1
pygtk2-libglade-2.0.0-1
gtk2-2.2.4-5.1
I hope installing at home is easier :-)
Thanks again
Pankaj
-------------------- Original Message -------------------------
I have gDesklets running with both the SysInfo and hddtemp sensors. My
system is fully up2date with the exception of the same couple of file
that others are having problem with.
Did you have gDesklets running before Fedora? It could be an
installation issue. Installing gDesklets is pretty straight forward.=20
However, IMHO the gDesklets sensors installation documentation is not
all that clear.

Bugzilla not sending mail
by Leonard den Ottolander
Hi,
When I reported a bug to Bugzilla last night I noticed no emails were
sent:
Bug 108395 has been added to the database
Email sent to: no one
Excluding: hp(a)redhat.com, leonardjo(a)hetnet.nl
Now why is no mail being sent? Because I filed it as a low priority bug?
Bye,
Leonard.

A valid suggestion - sadly my mail is handled via an Exchange
network and I am forced to use Outlook during business hours (when I do most
of my beta activity) - so there's no nice threading option for me.......
>> 2) A better solution: get the list in digest form.
Been there, tried that - there's still a considerable investment in
time to look over the contents and try and determine what I need to look at
on my system and what is static.... For a time the list (or the
aforementioned MS email cr@p) was a bit psychotic in it's decision to send
the digest as an attached "gang" of individual emails or as a true text
digest... opening nested emails just to check their validity is a PITA I'm
not willing to endure...

Don't get me wrong, I would not care if there were 200 posts a day
on actual bug identification / resolution - it's just that the focus of this
list is, at time, non-existent... I've been guilty at points in the past
myself....

..and this is my major issue. I resort to gang deletion, and then I
run the risk of looking like a moron because I post for a known issue or
only have a portion of a thread archived for reference....

Sadly, our corporate policy precludes me from using Linux (yet we
sell a ton of it - go figure). Basically - I'm stuck looking at every email
be it in single delivery form or digest. When I'm on dial-up (and it's slow
in Hooterville) the volume of local processing the Exchange/Outlook combo
does can make for some long sessions trying to help Fedora.
Sure, I've only filed 3 bugs against Fedora - but only one of them
was NOT unique.... I hope that things settle down here after this first
release....

Kickstart, LVM and Preserving VGs and LVs
by Rick Kilen
I just started testing Fedora, and have some questions about how to
preserve LVM definitions (both VGs and LVs) across installations.
My preference for Linux upgrades, particularly when working with beta or
experimental software, is to do a fresh install, rather than an upgrade.
Prior to working with LVM, I could use part statements in ks.cfg to
specify how to use existing disk partitions, using --onpart, and which
ones needed data preserved, using --noformat. I've looked at the RH 9
Customization guide for Kickstart options pertaining to LVM, but haven't
found any equivalents to --onpart and --noformat, at least not in the
volgroup or logvol statements. I have played a bit, but have so far not
found the appropriate incantations.
A short example:
Existing partitions: hda1 (/boot), hda2 (LVM's rootvg with rootlv and
homelv), hda3 (swap)
Want to preserve both the LVs in hda2, and additionally the data in homelv
Would like to be able to specify something like this in ks.cfg:
#clearpart --linux
part swap --onpart=hda3
part /boot --onpart=hda1
part pv.01 --onpart=hda2 --noformat
volgroup rootvg pv.01 --preserve
and have Kickstart recognize the existing LVs in rootvg
Since I want to have Kickstart format rootlv and preserve homelv, I expect
I'd also need something like:
logvol / --vgname=rootvg --lvname=rootlv --clean
logvol /home --vgname=rootvg --lvname=homelv --noformat
where --clean implies that it exists but needs formatting, and --noformat
is the same as for part statements.
I've commented out all the partitioning information, but Kickstart then
offers me only three choices: remove all partitions, remove all linux
partitions, and retain all partitions and install to free space, which is
not what I'm after...
Is this possible at present? Where is this documented?
Thanks,
Rick Kilen
