Firefox: how to disable annoying flash animations?
by Rob
Hello,
I use Firefox 2.0.0.12 with Fedora 7.
Also flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release installed.
Some sites have very, very annoying flash animations
as advertisements. Those make it very difficult to
concentrate on the text I want to read on that page.
Hence, is there a way to stop those animations from
'animating' and distracting my attention, unless I
allow them (something similar to pop-ups).
Does that exist in firefox?
Thanks,
Rob.

evdev usage in xorg.conf?
by Tom Horsley
I just got my new toy, a logitech denovo mini keyboard device.
When I plug in the little usb receiver that came with it,
the keyboard part works fine, but I get no mouse action
from the mouse part (current xorg.conf file points at
/dev/input/mice, which works great for my usb trackball).
I see these new devices in /proc/bus/input/devices after
adding the denovo mini:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c71e Version=0111
N: Name="Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-8.2/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-8/2-8.2/2-8.2:1.0/input/input9
U: Uniq=000761AEE883
H: Handlers=kbd event9
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=1000000000007 ff800000000007ff febeffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=1f
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c71f Version=0111
N: Name="Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-8.3/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-8/2-8.3/2-8.3:1.0/input/input10
U: Uniq=000761AEE883
H: Handlers=kbd mouse2 event10
B: EV=10001f
B: KEY=37fff04aff3b7 bf0d444400000000 fffff0001 f848a37c000 667bfad941dfef 9e004000000000 0
B: REL=7cf
B: ABS=100000000
B: MSC=10
That leads me to suspect that perhaps switching to evdev would allow
me to get mouse input from this thing, but my only experience with
configuring an evdev device was blindly getting usb tablet mode to
work in a virtual machine once, and I just copied some stuff I didn't
understand for that :-).
Any good info on using evdev in fedora 8 around anywhere? I don't
want to break my existing mouse, but it would be nice if I could
get the denovo mini working as well.

Looks like a bug!
NOAPIC as an additional boot parameter might help?

Yum plugin for broken repos
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I have freshrpms in my list of standard repos for updating, but
frequently the ayo.freshrpms.net site is unreachable, meaning yum can't
even download the list of mirror sites for the repo, and it simply stops
with an error message.
So I find myself doing "yum --disablerepo-freshrpms ..." when this
happens.
Which is a bore.
Does anyone know of a plugin that will simply skip unavailable repos and
carry on rather than aborting? http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumPlugins
doesn't seem to have anything in that regard.

significance of RAM errors?
by Dave Stevens
Hi,
I have a dual boot system with Windows and Linux on separate drives. After
some recent problems with booting I ran memtest86. In 40 hours more or less I
got about 600 memory errors. I don't like this but am somewhat at a loss to
understand how it compares to other systems or what consequences are likely
to stem from this. What I want to avoid is system instability and
unpredictable behaviour. Can anyone point me to more information about how to
interpret this result? or has anyone an opinion?
Dave

File permissions on mount point
by Paul Ward
Hi All,
I should know this but it gets me everytime.
I need to set up an etx3 mount point called /storage
I want the following users to be able to write and read and execute
(777) on all files including newly created ones from a samba share.
The users I want to have access are mythtv and simon.
currently samba creates files as adm
I set file perms to 777 on /storage
chgrp mythtv
chown simon
smb.conf:
[storage]
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 777
path = /storage
guest ok = yes
However I think I need to set up uid or gid and umask on fstab.
Please can someone let me know the correct fstab config.
Many Thanks
Paul

Is it really OK
by Giulio Troccoli
I have started a new thread because it's not really the same problem,
but this is really a spin-off of "Installing Fedora 8 on Intel Dual Core".
The reason why I had a black screen were, apparently, more than one.
The xorg.conf wasn't quite right. I ran "X -configure" and that was
better. Still I had to change the driver from intel to vesa. Then there
was a problem with some lock files in the /tmp directory. The problem
was cause by me deleting and recreating the user (for a reason that's
unrelated to the problem).
Anyway, I haven't tried rebooting yet, but if I login and type startx
everything is fine.
However, I get some messages which are all warnings but I don't like and
I would like to know from who has more experience that me what to do
with them. I ssh-ed from my laptop and in that terminal typed startx. On
the monitor attached to the server GNOME comes up, but on the terminal I
have the following
[giulio@localhost ~]$ startx
