FC10 - gedit strange behaviour
by Robert Moskowitz
One a fresh FC10 install, gedit 'moves' to the current workspace. Even
if it is behind other windows, as I switch from workspace to workspace,
gedit moves. This is very upsetting.
I have found if I go into preferences, exit from preferences, close
gedit, and reopen gedit, this behavor stops.
Strange and distracting. Just one more thing I have to 'fix' with each
FC10 install.

keepassx-0.3.4-3.fc10,i386 fails to start
by Dennis Kaptain
keepassx fails to start
On Mar 05 I upgraded to version-0.3.4-1 which worked perfectly
On Mar 24 I upgraded to version-0.3.4-3 which fails to start
# grep keepassx /var/log/yum.log
Mar 05 18:11:56 Updated: keepassx-0.3.4-1.fc10.i386
Mar 24 08:55:28 Updated: keepassx-0.3.4-3.fc10.i386
When I enter keepassx from a terminal it hangs and I need to ^C to get back my prompt. When I start it from the GNOME menu it starts a process that hangs and must be killed manually. Nothing ever appears on the screen in either case. I expect to see the GUI come up and prompt for a data file to open.
I tried strace keepassx. Results are available at http://www.kaptain.us/tmp/keepassx.strace
If it helps, I have a 64 bit system which also has keepassx on it and version 0.3.4-3 runs fine there.
# grep keepassx /var/log/yum.log
Mar 06 17:22:02 Updated: keepassx-0.3.4-1.fc10.x86_64
Mar 23 17:08:35 Updated: keepassx-0.3.4-3.fc10.x86_64
Does this have anything to do with the java updates I got at the same time? Or was it decided that there wasn't anything wrong with the java updates after all?
# grep java /var/log/yum.log
Mar 24 08:55:15 Updated: 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-11.b14.fc10.i386
Mar 24 08:55:24 Updated: 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-11.b14.fc10.i386
Any insights would be helpful. I use keepassx all the time and for obvious reasons it's quite important to me.
For future reference, given that keepassx is using AES encryption and I know the password, how would I decrypt that data file without the benefit of keepassx should I ever need to?
This looks like a bug. What URL do I visit to file one?
Thanks

sound on fedora 10
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I try to read music on fedora 10. The sound is awful: as if you plug and
unplug the wires of the speakers every second.
This happens if I want to play an audio CD or a file from the computer.
Streaming is OK eg.:
mplayer -ao alsa\
http://viphttp.yacast.net/V4/radiofrance/francemusique_hd.m3u
works perfectly well
I have no idea where to begin....
Could help, giving me a clue.

FDISK problems
by woodson2
OS= Fedora 10
I have a secondary 250GB disk of which I created a 50G partition on to try
and set-up an LFS system. I finished with the LFS system and now I want to
destroy the partition and reclaim all of the 250GB. So i simply ran fdisk
/dev/sdb and deleted the 2 Linux partitions ( one 83 and one swap). I then
created a new partition as primary partition #1. fdisk appears to see the
entire disk....I'm able to start at cylinder 1 and end at 30401 which is
250GB, however when i mount the partition it's shows as only 50G.....What
the hell is going on here???

RPMs forward compatibility between releases
by "Stanisław T. Findeisen"
Is there any problem about using RPMs from newer Fedora releases in
older releases? For instance I want Berkeley DB XML from Fedora 10 but I
have Fedora 8 and don't feel like upgrading right now.
Thanks!

I added that both places, but mysqld is still running as mysql. After many
reboots.

Update: Tonight I edited the akonadiserverrc to indicate that it should start
the server (mysqld I assume), and stopped mysqld, then stopped kmail for 10
secs and restarted it. NOW it says the migration succeeded, and I have
serveral copies of both akonadiserver and akonadiserver_control running, along
with the usual 8 or 9 copies of mysqld, still running as the user mysql.
I would consider this a bug if it can't find and use an already running
mysqld. Is that a good assessment?
Thanks.

Can't Reset gnome-keyring Password?
by Richard Heck
For some time now, my daughter's been having a problem with her WPA key:
NM asks for it every time she logs on. I seem to have figured out why,
more or less. Let me say that she's using LXDE under F10 on an Eee 901.
When trying to debug something else, I reset her password to what it
originally was when I set up her account, and suddenly everything
worked. I changed it to something else, and it didn't work; changed it
back, and then it did again. So I ran Settings>Passwords, etc, or
whatever it is, and there was a button that said something like "Reset
keyring password". Unfortunately, clicking that button just got me an
error message, something like "Unable to reset keyring password". Very
helpful.
Any ideas?
