How to restore a folder from trash?
by Colin Paul Adams
I have just accidentally moved my Pictures folder to trash.
How can I move it back? If I try to cut-and-paste, it says there is
not enough free-space on the drive (there is only 25GB). I guess this
is because it tries to copy and then delete.
So really I just need to move the directory entry. How can I do this?

Fedora and Alpha
by Seann Clark
All,
I am wondering, what the last revision of Fedora (if any) supported
a DEC Alpha based system? I have an old Alpha with NT4 on it (eew) and
am looking at something to put on this for it to be a good workstation,
and to have a few fun choices. I am looking at Alphalinux as one but I
remember quiet a few distro's used to support this platform. I am also
wondering if anyone out there is doing this and using an alpha still.
Regards,
Seann

How to search the Fedora List
by Aaron Konstam
Searching the Fedora List came up in another thread. I thought this
important enough information to have a thread of its own. See web link
below:

Sorry but there is information on the redhat.com website is somehow
contradicting
the fact that the attacker was not able to capture the passphrase (and
sign packages) :
http://www.redhat.com/security/data/openssh-blacklist.html
"In connection with the incident, the intruder was able to sign a
small number of
OpenSSH packages relating only to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (i386 and
x86_64 architectures only)
and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86_64 architecture only)."
For what I know, there is a separation between Red Hat and the Fedora
Project but if the attacker
was able to sign packages for Red Hat Enterprise.... Why he was not
able for Fedora packages (including
source packages)?
Could you provide us more information about differences in the signing process
between Fedora and Red Hat? At least to give us some views why we
should be confident
in the past and current signed packages.
Thanks a lot,
adulau

New F9 EeePC problem
by Beartooth
This may or may not have something to do with the infrastructure
problems. It happened during them.
Having installed F9 on an EeePC 701, I did some removals with
gnome-packagekit, then plugged in a USB CD/DVD drive, and started copying
a bunch of data from my PCs.
Of course I soon hit a point where the poor little thing wouldn't
take any more.
I fired up the packagekit again, picked a bunch of stuff for it
to uninstall, and hit Apply. It hung. Overnight.
I force-closed it, and went to cutting away things I had added,
by moving them to the trash -- all the time watching the cumulative sizes
by scanning and re-scanning /home with baobab. I got it down to where, by
those scans, I was using about half its 8 GB. (I have a camera card in it
-- couldn't even install F9 when I tried without.)
I *think* the package kit removed some things before it hung, but
don't know which nor how many.
Finally, last night, I had occasion to shut it down. I've been in
process of trying to get it to boot for the past hour or so -- without
rhgb. It seems not to be hung, exactly; every once in a great while, the
normal boot messages go forward another line, then sit there ...
I'd hate to just re-install from scratch -- repeating all the
things I've changed would be a week's work. Is there a better way?

Did we just have something related to Evolution updated or patched ??
by Bill Case
Hi;
Out of the blue, I have lost (but recovered from backup) one of my
contact lists and the compose window lost its spell check. When I went
to reconnect the spellchecker through preferences Evolution crashed.
I ran upgrade a couple of days ago but didn't watch what was added.
Patched libraries wouldn't have meant much to me anyways.
hmmm

Cairo-like dock for KDE?
by Marko Vojinovic
Ok, you know, that thing from Mac OS X, that zooms the icons parabolically
when you hover the pointer over them... Trying to find some equivalent
eyecandy for KDE 4.0 or 4.1 or whatever. I already have Compiz-fusion pretty
customized, but all that is not enough, I want even more eye-candy... Mooore,
mooore... ;-)
Package names, please?
:-)

iSCSI root and gPXE
by Joseph L. Casale
I was trying to follow the guide at gPXE for installing Fedora Core 9
with an iSCSI only disc. I cant get the machine to boot, grub starts then it
fails as soon as it loads the kernel. Anyone done this and have any ideas
on how to accomplish this? Do I need to make a custom initrd?
Thanks!

Flash Player Sound
by Per Anton Rønning
I thought my recent Java trouble had bearing on this, but it seems not:
When I play a YouTube video I get the pictures, but no sound.
I have checked the sound gauge embedded in YouTube and this is on top.
When I play CD/DVD I have no sound problem at all . The shockwave player
is installed,
I thought that was what I needed. I may be wrong, can someone tell?
