Get rid of `desktop-effects', or tobe able to change settings
by Pier Paolo
I mean, to make compiz behave as per my configurations, is the only way
modify and create all gconf keys? There is any way to make the so-calld
CompizConfig configuration manager ccsm superseed /apps/compiz gconf
entries?
I'm quite new to Fedora (i'm using k '2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon
Apr 5 16:15:03 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux') 12, not too much to
linux, and i'll appreciate a birdeye view on yum/rpm and fedora's way in
arrangin things:
Code:
# rpm -q desktop-effects compiz-gnome compiz-backend --whatrequires
compiz-gnome-0.8.2-24.fc12.i686
gnome-shell-2.28.0-3.166.20100413git98a093a2.fc12.i686
compizconfig-backend-gconf-0.8.2-3.fc12.i686
nessun pacchetto necessita di compiz-backend
but i loose compiz-gtk and gtk-window-decorator and some libraries

# rpm -q compiz-gnome --filesbypkg

Auto shutdown when idle
by Riccardo Rencinai
Hi,
I'm running a couple of computer rooms at the local university for a
total of 40 computers. All of them run fedora.
While we firmly ask our students to turn off the computers when they
leave the rooms, often people forget to do so.
With older versions of Fedora (when HAL was still in place) the solution
to this problem was feasible (albeit tricky). I had to enable the
"suspend to disk" option when the computer was idle for (let's say) 10
minutes and then just change the content of the script related to
suspension to obtain, instead, the computer shutdown.
Now that HAL is gone for real I have no idea on how to achieve the same
result. The gnome faq related to GnomePowerManager has not been updated
and it is still pointing to the above trick.
Any suggestion on how to achieve the same result with fedora 12 (or 13)
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your reply.

zoneminder AXIS mpeg4 ffmpeg-libraries
by Nikolay Yatsyshyn
Hello!
Can anybody help me with zoneminder troubleshooting? I'm using AXIS
M1011 IP cameras and want to move capture format from mjpeg to mpeg4,
because of internet havn't sufficient bandwidth. Mjpeg working fine, but
when I change format to mpeg4 with RTSP and path /mpeg4/media.amp I got:
zmc_m3[8961]: FAT [You must have ffmpeg libraries installed to use
remote camera protocol 'rtsp' for monitor 3].
zoneminder was installed from fedora repos and ffmpeg with ffmpeg-libs
was installed from rpmfusion repos.

after upgrade to f12
by terry
i upgrade on a dell b1110 that has f10 for awhile , then f11. using the
upgrade to f12 cd from the fedora site. i had trouble with the screen
last night but seems to have mysteriously disappered over night. one
caveat left with me was the need to update after rebooting. no such
thing. nothing to update. using yum update gets this ..... libss.so.8
cannot open shared object file, something about python 2.6.2 and gcc
4.4.1. rpm -i libssl.so.8 gets me ...opening failed.
a trip to duke edu says things about this problem not being an error
with the lib but something to do with python.
their suggestion to type python and at the prompt type... import yum.
then the error message is libssl.so.8.
trying yum, rpm and the gui for updates leaves me with the feeling i do
not have a way to update. Any suggestions?

How to make a Live USB running "from RAM"?
by Roberto Ragusa
Hi,
I successfully created a Live USB bootable pen drive by using
my custom kickstart file, livecd-creator, livecd-iso-to-disk,
as explained here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB
Everything works, but I would like to be able to remove the
USB pen after boot and run everything from RAM.
The machine has 2GiB of RAM and the img is 300MiB, so it is
certainly doable.
For what I want to do, one free USB port is more valuable than
300MiB of disk cache.
Is there a way to obtain this?
Thank you.

yum update to rawhide
by "Germán A. Racca"
Dear list:
When Fedora 12 Beta was released, I updated to it with
# yum --enablerepo=rawhide upate
and nearly every package was changed from package.fc11 to package.fc12.
But now, when I run the same command to update to Fedora 13 Beta with
rawhide, I get fc13 packages mixed with fc14
How can upgrade to Fedora 13 Beta without mixing fc14 packages?
Regards,
Germán.

It's not clear whether you are trying to create a livecd image, on a
stick, or create an install image, on a stick.
Your first problem is that you are trying to do these things with a
mounted USB stick.
If you want to create an install image then look here:

f12 sometimes is slow to start
by Natxo Asenjo
hi,
I have been using the f12 (686) on a dell latitude e6500 laptop. This
is my corporate workstation and so far it's working really nice.
Everything works out of the box and configuring it to work with its
docking station was very easy (much easier than expected). Great work!
Thanks.
There is one little problem. Every now and then when I boot the laptop
it kind of 'freezes' and a few minutes later it works as it should
without any other problems. I can change to a virtual terminal and
login there, but if I try to login graphically it will take me like 2
to 3 minutes to complete the process. I cannot see anything in the log
files.
Like I said, it does not happen all the time nor it is really
annoying, but I would like to find out why this is happening. In
/var/log/messages I do not get any errors. How can I debug the gnome
login process?
