F11: Updating: caching problem with sqlite
by lanas
Hello,
I've just installed F11 x86_64. First thing I want to do after
install is to say 'yes' to apply all the updates I was notified about.
573 updates. I'm looking forward at having an updated system, so I've
choosen 'yes' when KPackageKit popped up automatically.
Alas, problem.
'There was a (possibly temporary) problem ...'
Details
'Caching enabled but no local cache of /var/cache/yum/fedora/(lots of
digits)/filelists.sqlite.bz2'
If that package is causing trouble, I'd like to remove it from the
update process. I don't use sqlite. Things is, KPackageKit does not
show the packages in alphabetical order and there's no search method.
I will not scroll 573 items to find sqlite.
So how can the update be done and, what is this problem anyways ?
Thanks for all suggestions and help. F11 looks nice as far as the
artwork is concerned. Looks promising.
Cheers.

kde 4.3 pager
by George Avrunin
I'm sure this is pilot error of some sort, but I can't figure it out.
I'm running F11, x86_64, fully updated. I use 12 desktops. Until I did
the update that brought in KDE 4.3, I had a nice pager widget (not on the
panel) with 4 rows and 3 columns, the small images of the desktops
filled the widget, and I could adjust the size. With 4.3, KDE seems to
insist on a particular shape for the pager--the 12 desktops in this 4x3
configuration take up about half of it and it is not in the same aspect
ratio as my display. Also, there's a minimum size it won't let me go
below. I created a new user and tried to make a pager with 12 desktops
this way and got the same thing, so I *think* it's not something else in
my configuration. (If I put a pager on the panel, it doesn't seem to use
any extra space, but it's too small for me to use.)
How do I get rid of the extra space the pager widget is insisting on
using? And why can't I make it smaller?
