getting out of x
by Joel Grimes 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

Noob question here - and forgive me for ranting, but it's just KILLING me! How do I get the hell out of X? I've become so frustrated with that damned automatic-restart-x thing that i wanted to resort to violence. When, out of desparation, I hit ctrl-alt-backspace it keeps reloading it. When I do that you'd think it would GET THE POINT THAT I WANT OUT! (arg!.... I feel better now)

Shrinking an LVM root filesystem?
by Steve Bergman 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

Hi, I've built a server and installed FC1. I used LVM for /, /usr, /home, /var, and swap. /boot is in it's own partition. I fully intend to upgrade to FC2 when it is released, which is why I am posting here instead of the FC1 list. Not really knowing what I was doing, I sized my / rather larger than I should have, thinking that I could just shrink it later if I needed to. I've since decided that I will probably want to do just that, but if I understand correctly, I can only shrink unmounted filesystems. I could reinstall, as I have not gone live with this server yet. Is it possible to shrink / from rescue mode or something? Also, can I grow and shrink any filesystem I desire, anywhere in the LVG no matter what the order in which I defined them? i.e. is any free space in the LVG available to any filesystem in it? Sorry if I seem a bit dense, but this is my first LVM install. Oh, and while I'm asking questions, what is the status of ext2online and Fedora. I don't believe it is in FC2-test1 or rawhide. Is it planned for inclusion some time in the future? Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks, Steve Bergman

core 2 test 2: freetype fonts : no antialiasing?
by Raghu Angadi 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

I just upgraded from test1 to test2. One thing I noticed is that font rendering seems to have changed in xterm, xemacs (apps that use traditional font system). I run xterm with 'courier new' and the font looks awful after the upgrade. No config differences that I know of. I have rerun mkfontsdir mkfontscale. Do you know what's going on? xterm command: xterm +sb -fn -*-courier new-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* Chris Kloiber had replied saying this issue might have been discussed before but I could not find any clear solution. Thanks, Raghu. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html

Gnome desktop problems after FC2T2 install
by Al Dunsmuir 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

Greetings, I initially installed FC2T2, and ran into the severe problems with up2date (hang resolving dependencies, packages update incompletely, etc) that other folks have mentioned. I reinstalled, with format, and found a problem that I did not notice on my initial install. In the "Start Here" folder, the "Preferences" and "System Settings" incons are corrupt. When I try to run either, I get a "Invalid Actions Associated" icon. Both run fine when invoked via the "RedHat" takbar icon. Does anyone else have a similar problem? Al
