Nautilus file operations problem
by Paolo Galtieri
I tried to copy a file from my hard disk to a USB flash drive using drag and
drop and the nautilus file manager. When I did this a file operations
window popped up showing progress of the copy. It stopped at 245.5Mb of
278.6Mb, however, when you look at the destination file it is in fact all
there. Doing an md5sum of the source file and the destination file shows
them to be the same. I removed the destination file and tried the copy
again, and this time it stopped at 246.5Mb of 278.6Mb. If I try to unmount
the USB drive it fails with volume is busy, even though the file has been
copied over completely. If I try to force the unmount it fails with volume
busy. Eventually (after about 5 minutes) it seems to finally recognize that
the copy is complete and allows me to unmount the drive. If the file has
completed copying why does the nautilus file operation popup take a long
time before it goes away?
No matter how many times I do the copy the nautilus file operation popup
takes several minutes to report completion.
I'm running F12 with all the latest updates.

What's going on with the "users" command?
by KC8LDO
I setup an Fedora-11 box, 32 bit, for multi user access as an experiment. I
created two accounts to log in to with remote access through RDP, using the
installed Xrdp rpm, for remote use. That all seems to work fine. However
going to the command line and typing "users" only shows the account name
from where the command is run, even when I have both accounts logged in at
the same time. The other weird thing is using "gnome-system-monitor" to
watch all processes on the system, with user name listed, does in fact show
both accounts. So what is going on here?
I've also tried the "w" and "who" command with the same results.

Using abrt for bugs that are non-crashes ?!?
by Bill Case
Hi;
Is there a way to use abrt to report bugs that do not involve an actual
crash of an application?
For example:
I use both Firefox and Epiphany as web browsers. Epiphany I reserved as
my Linux stuff browser because in the past it was so fast. Firefox (in
F12 Linux) I use for most media stuff, play and general use.
I now find that Epiphany takes about 40 to 80 seconds to load a site
while Firefox is still almost instantaneous. Epiphany doesn't crash it
just slows right down and takes time to load the site.
If there is some small Epiphany configuration I have overlooked, I would
be happy to know and fix it. However, my main question is how to trace
a bug using abrt if there has not been an actual crash.
If there is not yet a way to do this, wouldn't it be a useful addition
to abrt. I suspect abrt could be programmed to get useful information
from a strace and a dump that would be more useful and more germane than
a non-developer (like me) could ascertain before reporting a bug.

Library loading problems
by Jim
FC12-X86_64/KDE
I have install NX-x86_64 and it is looking for three Lib files:
libXcomp.so.3
libXcompext.so.3
libeXcompshad.so.3
These three files where installed in /usr/NX/lib/
Should these three files be linked from /usr/lib64/nx directory, being
that this is a 64 bit machine.
The three rpms that was installed for NX where x86_64.rpms .

Plymouth misbehaving
by Marko Vojinovic
Hi folks! :-)
This is how I have my plymouth is configured:
[root@Yoda ~]# plymouth-set-default-theme
solar
However, on boot the "charge" theme is displayed instead of solar. I tried
setting it up again, changing to charge and back to solar, and only charge is
displayed. Is anybody else seeing this behavior? Is this a bug or what's going
on?
I have the following installed (full update just a minute ago):
[root@Yoda ~]# rpm -qa | grep plymouth

Problem with a large partition
by Will Yonker
Hello all,
I have a 22TB partition that I would like to use. I am using a 64bit CPU
and used parted to create a partition and to format it. It created an
ext2 partition that I was in the process of converting to ext4. This is
where I hit a snag. Here is the error I got:
# e2fsck -fDC0 /dev/sdb1
e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
Error determining size of the physical device: File too large
Moving forward, I'm going to have to have e2fsck. fsck appears to be
provided by util-linux-ng.i686. Shouldn't that be a 64bit version?
Here is some system information:
uname -a
Linux ftp.temp.org 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:41:45 EST
2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
parted -l
Disk /dev/sdb: 22.0TB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 17.4kB 22.0TB 22.0TB ext4 primary
As always, any help would be appreciated.

Wireless, RT2860, (driver available), and knetworkmanager, (Fedora 12)
by n2xssvv.g02gfr12930
Well I eventually got the combination to work reliably, but not without
a fair number of hurdles to jump. This was a configuration puzzle
involving the wireless router, knetworkmanager, and what settings to
use.So here are the key configuration points I found to work for my setup:
Use of mode 11g
Use of a fixed frequency channel
Use WPA security using AES encryption
Use of auto data rate
Use of ESSID broadcasting
Now for the quirks of knetworkmanager for setting up wireless:
Trying to set the BSSID always broke the config
The SSID always had to be selected via a scan for it to work
If the network is stopped it is effectively disabled
Now I like to use KDE as you've probably already guessed and wanted to
use networkmanager to simplify network management. This is now not as
scary as it may seem and both my laptop and my PC are configured this
way. As a result of this setup I've made sure that after logging in, no
network connection is made, but is easily done using the knetworkmanager
applet, whether it be wired or wireless.
Another bonus of using knetworkmanager was the ease with which I could
configure either my PC/Laptop network when needing to configure new
networked hardware, and then return back as required. This fact alone
makes trying changes in network configuration a whole lot easier than
they would have been.
So may I recommend you look at using networkmanager, using the Gnome or
KDE applet to do so, or the commandline interface if you're no fan of
using a GUI.
