tweaking default GDM theme for multi-head
by Dave Thomas
The system I am using Fedora on uses two monitors in 'big desktop' mode.
The default Fedora GDM theme has the logon right in the middle of the
screen, so it spans both monitors on this box. I know nothing about GDM
themes....can someone tell me how to tweak the theme so the logon box
displays off to one side?
Thanks,
Dave Thomas

Pain with newest up2date RPM's
by Justin Clift
Hi all,
Am having troubles with up2date, and updating to the latest up2date and
rhn packages doesn't help.
# rpm -qa | grep rhn
rhnlib-1.4-1
rhn-applet-2.1.2-1
# rpm -qa | grep up2date
up2date-gnome-4.1.14-2
up2date-4.1.14-2
It doesn't seem to be enabling my proxy config. Every time I right
click on the rhn applet and choose to configure it, the proxy info is in
there but it's always disabled. (both proxy url and authentication
options unticked)
From the command line though, if I do:
# up2date --configure
Then it shows the proxy info as being enabled however. (both proxy url
and authentication options ticked)
If I try and register this system using:
# up2date --register
Then it just returns back to the shell prompt.
If I do:
# up2date --list
Then it just errors out with:
Fetching package list for channel: fedora-core-1...
Fetching
http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1/headers/header.info...
There was some sort of I/O error: <urlopen error (111, 'Connection
refused')>
#
Looks like it's not taking into account the proxy info (it uses a proxy
that needs a username/password combo for getting through).
New bug report needed?
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

Sure, the same server works with FTP. If you wait a little bit, I
suspect there will be a formal announcement with the mirror list with
many more servers. I suggest you try BitTorrent, however.

RE: upgrade from RH9 to Fedora
by Joe Beach
Hi Don,
On my home computer, I have been doing clean installs while preserving
my /home and /usr/local. It isn't hard to do if you have your disk
partitioned for it. My suggestion is to at least have separate
partitions for:
swap
/
/home
/usr/local
You should write down which partition has which contents so you aren't
wondering about it during the installation. When you do the new
installation, select "manually partition with disk druid" when it comes
up. A screen will appear that lets you pick which partition gets mounted
where, and gives you an option on each partition to either keep existing
data or reformat it. For /home and /usr/local, choose to keep the
existing data. For / and swap, choose to reformat.
This will save your home directories and any software you installed in
/usr/local, though it won't save any modifications you have made to
system configuration files. It is worth noting, though, that if you do
things this way, you'll need to re-enter the users in the same order you
did on your previous installation or else manually define their user ID
numbers so the match those on the previous installation. Otherwise,
you'll end up having file permission problems. Not hard to correct, but
disconcerting when it happens.
And its a good idea to back up anything that is really valuable before
you do a new system installation. Multiple times. I've never lost
anything, but I don't want to be held responsible if someone else
does...

LILO's Back?
by Hoyt
It was removed, now is just deprecated. Since it's back in, it should not be
"deprecated" or it should be gone. "Deprecated" is not the place for it.

It doesn't, it is an on going development. This is clear in the documentation provided on the website.
BTW as this whole mailing list strikes me as being weirdly off topic anyway, is there any intent to keep this list germane to the issues at hand?
