Using CCSM in preference to Gnome Compiz Settings
by Alex Bennee
Hi,
Despite install ccsm I can't seem to get any of the additional feature
to work. Although I can configure keys on CCSM they don't work and
when I deliberately configure clashing keys the ccsm GUI doesn't warn
of a clash (or see them in the Advanced search pane).
I suspect the compiz settings are being put into different places and
compiz only paying attention to one. How do I ensure that I can use
ccsm over compiz manager to configure my compiz experience?

FC10 - External USB drive and LVM
by Gary Stainburn
Hi folks.
I tried upgrading my FC7 desktop to FC10 which resulted in the PC not booting,
crashing during GRUB.
I have now installed FC10 onto a new HDD and want to copy the contents from my
old drive to my new one.
I thought that the easiest way would be to use my USB external caddy, but I
have a problem. The box sees the drive, and mounts /boot no problem.
However, I don't have access to the main contents as they were handled by LVM.
How can I now acces those filesystems?
The state of the PC is:
[root@lcomp5 ~]# mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/gary/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon
(rw,nosuid,nodev,user=gary)
/dev/sdb1 on /media/-boot type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[root@lcomp5 ~]#fdisk /dev/sdb
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9964.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 81.9 GB, 81964302336 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9964 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

determining this UUID stuff
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
I had to replace a terrabyte drive a few days ago, and I'm mounting it in
fstab by its label.
How does one go about determining the UUID of this replacement device so I can
make my fstab more uniform in its use?

tvtime mystery
by Bill Case
Hi;
I have an Hauppage WinTV-HVR-1800 tuner card. tvtime was working last
night but isn't today after a cold boot.
Events:
After installing WinTV card about a month ago, it worked in WindowsXP as
an analogue tuner using Rogers Cable here in Ottawa, Canada.
I couldn't get it working in F10 with either MythTV or tvtime. I let
things sit for a month until I could get back to it. Two or three days
ago I tried to get it started using tvtime and all I got was the same
interference looking lines and streaks.
Yesterday I downloaded the latest upgrades for F10
(2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64). I then tried tvtime again on a
whim/off-chance; and, behold, a proper picture and channel. But no
sound -- on anything. I went to bed happy that I now had a picture and
confident that I could fix the sound in the morning.
I cold booted this morning and no picture.
I fixed the sound. Something I had upgraded had turned my PCM channel
off in the pulseaudio mixer. I simply turned PCM back on. I only
mention the PCM incident as evidence that some program was reverting
some things to default.
The PackageKit log does not show anything I recognize as being connected
to video or video drivers.
I can paste the download log, lspci and the lsmod to a reply if someone
thinks they can help me.
I have thoroughly checked /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml and
~/.tvtime/tvtime.xml; nothing seeeems to be out of place.
Just in case, I set ~/.tvtime/tvtime.xml aside and restarted; no
improvement. The ~/.tvtime/tvtime.xml had been preserved (I think) in
my /home directory from my previous Fc9 installation.
I have checked the tvtime home site and googled.
Any and all suggestions gratefully received.

Mouse goes to sleep?
by Jeffrey Ross
System is Fedora 10 x86_64, the mouse is a Micro$oft wireless Laser
Mouse 5000.
The mouse occasionally stops responding for one or two seconds and then
continues like nothing happened. There are no messages in the logfiles
related to the mouse and the the keyboard which is also USB does not
have any issues.
The desktop is Gnome and I all currently available patches/updates have
been installed.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff

kded4 using 100% cpu after update. what reason?
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
I yumex updated all the kde stuffs earlier today, and restarted X. kmail
restarted, with a slightly more compact folder listing which is appreciated,
now I don't have to scroll it to drag-n-drop spam into the spam folder.
Kmail only lasted about 2 minutes after the restart, silently disappearing
without a crash notice. On the restart, it seems stable now.
Heck I have NDI what its supposed to be doing, is it playing catchup after the
update or??
So what is the new kded4 doing?
And should I reboot?
Thanks.

mail-notification applet locks up evolution
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I ran the mail-notification applet
(mail-notification-5.4-4.fc10.x86_64 to be exact)
and was very satisfied with it except for one thing. It makes evolution
lock up.
If mail-notification is running, after a time varying from minutes to
hours, evolution will stop updating or restoring the screen, and will
not respond to input. The only way to get it running again is to kill
and restart it.
Has anyone seen this? Any possible fixes?
Thanks - jon
