status line doesn't work in konsole?
by 平天韩
hi list,
I am using F10 and I just find that when I run screen in the konsole,
the status line seems doesn't work
as it would be in F8. In F8, when I type "ctrl-a i", konsole will
display current window info on its title bar. But it isn't in F10 now.
What's wrong?
Thanks!

gdmsetup not present in Fc9 or Fc10
by Gregory P. Ennis
To All:
Does any one know how to limit the names of users that appear on the
login screen of FC9 and FC10? With Fc8 through Fc5 I belive gdmsetup
gave you the option of listing all users or the ability to limit the
display to specific users on the login screen.
Thanks,
Greg Ennis

Activate second volume group at boot
by Eric Brunson
I have an external drive that I've created a second volume group on.
I've done a bit of poring over the init scripts in my /etc and in the
initrd image, but there doesn't seem to be any facility to activate
anything but VolGroup00 during the boot sequence.
There's something in the netfs script, but from what I can unconvolute
(comments in code are a Good Thing[tm]), it's not what I'm looking for.
I can write my own init script, but I was wondering if there's already a
facility to do it that I've missed, I prefer to use the Fedora Way if it
exists.
Thanks,
e.

can't log in after converting root filesystem
by Alan Evans
Hello, Friendly Fedora Folks:
My problem seems possibly related to some recently reported issues,
but I'm unable to fit suggested solutions to my issue. Anyway, here
goes:
I have an Asus EeePC 900A. It predictably took me about 2.5 minutes to
figure out that I wanted nothing at all to do with the crummy Linux
distro that came with it. I wanted Fedora and thought I'd try out the
Omega spin that Rahul announced recently.
Now the 900A has only a 4GB flash chip for internal storage, so I
started thinking of ways to reduce writes to the filesystem. It seemed
to me that ext2 was a better fit than ext3 because there would be no
need to write the journal data. During the install from LiveCD, I
chose to format the entire 4GB as ext2 and mount it on /. No separate
/boot partition, no swap partition.
After install, I discovered that the root filesystem was ext3 despite
my explicit instruction to format it as ext2. I consider that a bug,
which I might pursue if I can get past my current predicament.
I figured that "downgrading" to ext2 would not be difficult. So I
changed ext3 to ext2 in fstab and added noatime to the options.
Everything seems good at this point. I reboot, and mount tells me that
the root filesystem is, indeed, ext2. After running through the
installed packages and removing several that I thought would never be
relevant to my limited hardware, I rebooted again and found everything
good.
Well, almost everything. It turns out that now I can yum update
everything except for the kernel. After kernel update, I can't log in
at all. I get to the gdm screen, enter username and password, and it
just returns immediately to a fresh gdm screen. If I boot to runlevel
3, I have a similar symptom in text -- entering username and password
just returns to the login prompt.
At this point, I'm stuck. I've tried everything I know (not much) and
I can't log in. I did take a snapshot of the system with dd just
before upgrading the kernel, so I can always bring that back. But then
I can never apply any kernel updates.
Help!

Error in Aptana Studio 1.2.1 on 64-bit Fedora 8 Eclipse
by Dick Holland
I'm running 64-bit Fedora 8 which has this Eclipse onboard: "Fedora
Eclipse Platform Version: 3.3.0 Based on build id: I20070625-1500".
I have installed the Eclipse Plug-in version of Aptana Studio 1.2.1 as
per the instructions on http://www.aptana.com/studio/download and get
this error message box every time I start Eclipse:
"Showing My Aptana (Time of error:....) Reason: Check the details". The
"details" message says "Error". :-(
I can't now follow any further directions from the Aptana website as the
"My Aptana" feature does nothing, presumably because of this error.
Has anyone else experienced this and know the cause?

autherization problem and shutdown problem
by lists4pghanghas
Hi
I am having two problems with my fedora 10 system.
1 Once I tried modifying
/usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.hal.storage.policy to make
it mount removable pendrives automatically always
without any authentication. Now I dont know what went wrong, I am
not able to mount my removable drives with deskbar applet or from
nautilus. I have to manually mount it using mount command with root
priviliges. I tried replacing the package that provides this
file(brand new file) still no succes.
2 I dont get a shutdown in my system menu. for that matter no where in
my GUI, I am able to use shutdown or restart (including GDM). I always
hv to shutdown or reboot from command line these days.
Please help me if somebody already faced this problem and worked around it.
thanks in advance

SELinux does not like fail2ban
by John Aldrich
Why has no one fixed selinux to ignore fail2ban? It's been reported as far
back as Fedora 8 that it's a problem. The first instance I found was as
follows: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463410
That was closed because F8 was nearing EOL.
Surely someone else is running fail2ban and newer versions of Fedora... Why
doesn't someone fix it? I'll admit, I'm not a programmer or a "guru" of
linux. I just like to run it as my personal desktop. Unfortunately, it's
stuff like this which causes all sorts of headaches.
I've re-reported it as occurring in F10. Hopefully someone will fix it this
time and put out an update to one of the things that is causing the
problem, either fail2ban or selinux!
