ethernet comes up at wrong speed.
by Reg Clemens
This is an irritant with the boot o a diskless machine.
I have two ethernets on one of my machines, they are both Gigabit
ethernet adapters, one Intel, the DLink.
eth0 is the Intel, and on the ethernet with my other machines, it
seems to come up correctly whenever I boot.
The 2nd adapter, eth1, goes ONLY to a diskless machine, which also
has a Gigabit adapter, it 'comes up' during the diskless boot.
Now SOMETIMES when you boot the diskless machine, everything works
just fine.
On other occoasions, the HOST machine shows its eth1 coming up
at 10MBps rather than 1000MBps, and the boot hangs.
Pushing the boot button on the diskless machine again usually brings
the HOST ethernet adapter up at 1000Bps and the boot procedes. But one
has usually had to go examine some log files to see what has failed,
and thats a pain.
So, WHY is the adapter coming up at the wrong speed (OK, hardware will
do that).
AND is there any way to tell it to ONLY try 1000Mbps, so that it doesn't
get confused and try the wrong speed???
Hopefully there are some options for ifcfg-eth1 (or elsewhere) that I
dont know about.

gdm hangs when switching users
by Mike Wohlgemuth
I'm running F10 64 bit on a laptop that I upgraded from F9 via
preupgrade and is currently up to date with all the current updates.
After the last update, gdm now hangs when I try to switch users. It
works fine logging in as the first user, but when I attempt to switch
users, gdm starts up but hangs before it completes drawing the screen.
Most of the time it will show Other... with the lower panel half
displayed, but sometimes the display doesn't get even that far. The
mouse can still move, but no click will do any good. I've not had a
chance to try to ssh into the box, but the only thing I've found to get
out of the situation is to power cycle the box. I can log out and log
in multiple times as different users without issue, so it is only the
user switching that seems affected.
Is any one else seeing this behavior? I've searched and not really
found anything that looks similar, so maybe it's something about my
configuration, but I've really got no idea where to start debugging.
Thanks

Accidentally removed the non-gnome X display config tool
by Dan Thurman
I had a display setting icon that appeared in the Notification
area that allowed me to set my desktop resolution but this
specific tool also allowed me to set the vertical refresh rate
which is not provided by the Gnome display tool, as far as I
can tell.
Can someone please tell me what the package is so that
I can get it back?
What happened is that I followed the instructions in the
fedorafaq.org site and proceeded to install the nvidia
drivers and livna-config-display and gotten myself into
a jam. Seems that this package messed things up.
Kind regards!

keyboard in FC6
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
For some reasons that I do not understand, now my laptop boots with
the wrong keyboard (qwerty).
After I log in mode text and startx a XW session, it becomes correct.
Even if I use system-config-keyboard and set the right one, it still boots
with the wrong one.
Could you tell me where the keyboard is set up during the boot ?
Regards.

[OT] pjl escape sequences from linux
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I have a F9 system where I copied an old program that prints directly
to the parallel port where an hp lj 1100 is connected.
I have to set a smaller font than default on that printer, so that
what to be printed fits on page.
It seems that when the printer is powered off it resets to fabric
default that is not ok for the app.
I found this page so that I can send an escape sequence to set the
font and other parameters:
http://www.verypdf.com/pcltools/pjl_command.htm
But it is intended for dos systems.
Does anyone know how to send the referred "escape sequence (Ec)" from
a script or linux file?
To enter the escape sequence (Ec), press CTRL then P. No character
will appear on the screen at this point. Let up on both keys and press
ESC. A Left Arrow will be displayed on the screen.
So for example I have to set 14 as the font size and I should send to
the parallel port this sequence:
Ec%-12345X@PJL SET LPARM : PCL PITCH=14
Ec%-12345X
any hint?
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

Kalarm autostart.
by Erik P. Olsen
I don't seem to be able to autostart kalarm on Fedora 10. If I manually start
kalarm --tray I get this message:
[erik@epohost ~]$ kalarm --tray
kalarm(31573)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*): KSystemTimeZones: ktimezoned initialize()
D-Bus call failed: "The name org.kde.kded was not provided by any .service files"
kalarm works OK aftyer that though.
But how can I autostart kalarm?

You can either run as root the command:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
or install gconf-editor package and run the gconf-editor command as
root; then in the gui-tree go under
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter
and check the "disable_user_list" key
log out and then you don't get the user list (but unfortunately you
still get the "Other..." line )

As far as I can see there's no other flash editor than Macromedia...
sorry Adobe Flash. No Linux versions. You could try to run Flash under
Wine emulator (www.winehq.org). I used to run Macromedia Flash 2004 in
older Wine versions (before 1.0). It worked pretty well. I wasn't able
even to install Flash CS4 on Wine 1.1.9. So I had to use VirtualBox
machine with Win XP guest system. With my 2 Gb memory it works a bit
slow. But it seems that CS4 is slow by itself.
Best regards

[Fwd: Migration of the Fedora Mailing Lists]
by Aaron Konstam
-------- Forwarded Message --------

Subject: Migration of the Fedora Mailing Lists
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:00:36 -0500
Over the last several years, there has been some contention over why
our mailing lists are @redhat.com instead of @fedoraproject.org, and
there are also some concerns over the process of requesting new lists
and so on. As a result, we (myself and Dennis Gilmore) are beginning
an effort to migrate fedora-*(a)redhat.com to lists.fedoraproject.org.
WHAT BENEFIT DOES THIS HAVE FOR FEDORA?
===========================================
We will now be in control of our own mailing lists, can be more
responsive to the community for questions or issues with the lists. It
also give us our own identity for the lists, separate from Red Hat.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ME?
=============================
Right now, nothing. We are still working on some of the backend
infrastructure in order to allow this migration to occur. However, in
the near future, we'll be working with each of the list owners in
order to migrate. We'll start with small lists, and gradually work our
way up to larger ones.
Subscriber lists will be copied from the Red Hat mailman instance to
the Fedora one. Mail filters will need to be changed in order to
accommodate the new List-ID headers from this new instance of mailman.
Archives will reamin posted at the redhat.com mailman instance.
WHAT NOTICE WILL BE PROVIDED?
===============================
We'll work with each individual list owner in order to determine a
date for the migration. Several weeks prior to the date, we'll send a
reminder e-mail to the list in question. We'll always be available for
questions in #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net.
As always, if you have any questions about this, feel free to reach
out to me directly, either via e-mail or jds2001 on IRC, or extension
5102788 on Fedora Talk!
