Would that be oral or otherwise?
Seems otherwise might be appropriate given the level of fun
this release has provided the users.

F14 NetworkManager IPv6 behavior question
by Jurgen Kramer
I just enabled IPv6 on my DSL router and nicely got an non-tunneled IPv6
address from my provider. After enabling IPv6 in NM it tried getting a
IPv6 address using DHCPv6. As I dont need DHCP for IPv6 I configured the
connection in NM to 'automatic'.
When I check with ifconfig I see that I actually have a working IPv6
address but NM itself does not list it. The connection information for
IPv6 is empty. Checking with dmesg a see that NM (?) still issues the
DHCPv6 command (which fails) while the interface already got a working
address.

Before I go to bugzilla, is this expected behavior ?

f15 kernel on f14?
by Alex
Hi all,
Is it possible to use the fc15 kernel on fc14, and if so, how would
you go about doing that?
I could of course just download the SRPM and recompile it, but I'd
like to be able to easily update the system as well. I don't doubt
other RPMs will be required, but I can't upgrade this system just yet,
but still want to benefit from the much later kernel.
Are there too many dependency changes, such as module-init-tools,
grub, initscripts, etc, that woud normally be tied to the kernel
version to upgrade to the new one?
Thanks,
Alex

Repository Managers lunch at OR in Austin, Wed. June 8
by Laherty, Jennifer
Hello!
Sara Fuchs at GA Tech and I are keen to meet with other repository managers attending the Open Repositories conference next week in Austin. If you're going to be there and have time during Wednesday's lunch to gather together to chat, we'd be delighted to meet you. I will wear a very orange t-shirt and should be easy to spot. The lunch runs from 12-1:30. We can start out in Salon C and if the desire is to move, we will.
Managers running systems on any type of software are all welcome.
Hope to see you there,
Jennifer and Sara

Logwatch question on Fedora 15
by Mark C. Allman
On earlier Fedora releases if I typed "logwatch --logfile maillog" then
logwatch would only look at the log file group "maillog." I just
updated to F15 over the weekend and now the switch doesn't seem to work.
On F15 I get a full logwatch output if I type the above command. Can
someone check this and reply if they're also seeing this? I googled
around and didn't find anything. From the man page it still looks like
the "--logfile" option should behave as it has in the past.

It is far easier to add: echo "Completed boot at `date`"
to the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Then it does not matter whether the system is using the old method or
systemd and whether it is writing to 'messages' or boot.log.

Shared to other computers
by Jack Howarth
Has anyone managed to get the "Shared to other computers" option described in...
http://www.techerator.com/2010/01/how-to-setup-internet-connection-sharin...
to work under Fedora 14 or 15 when both network interfaces are ethernet devices?
I have an Asus A8N-SLI Premium motherboard with eth1 attached to the external ethernet
and eth0 configured in the Network Connections dialog to use the "Shared to other
computers" method. When I attach a Fedora 15 i386 laptop to eth0 via an ethernet patch cable,
under Fedora 14 the connection was eventually made but the dns didn't work. Under
Fedora 15, the laptop shows a red X for the network connection. The documentation on
this method of internet sharing with two ethernet cards is very sparse and very
unclear on whether additional dnsmasq or dhcp support is required to be configured.

name of java rpm? jre native fedora java
by Antonio Olivares
Dear folks,
I am happily running Fedora 15 on several boxes. Our school will be switching from VistaNet to PowerSchool Online systems by Pearsons. We used to do attendance/grading on Vistanet and now we will use Powerschool online Gradebook which appears to need java to run. On one of my machines I have java already as I run the testers:
http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
and it returns that java is present.
but there is no rpm reported back:
[olivares@acer-aspire-1 ~]$ rpm -qa java
[olivares@acer-aspire-1 ~]$
I would like to know which rpm is the one that gives the open source/free java implementation in Fedora. This way I can install it on other machines in case it is not present and be ready to migrate to the new gradebook. Also if there are any teachers out there that have used PowerSchool Online Gradebook on Fedora and have any caveats, tips, tricks to share them. I would like to continue using Fedora/Linux to do these tasks. I had run Easy Grade Pro using wine for the last several years successfully and now the system changes again and I want to be ready.
Regards,
Antonio

F15: Follow-mouse focus and hacks for GNOME shell?
by Marco Guazzone
Didn't find a way to set this type of focus under GNOME shell.
Searching in the Web I've found these 2 hacks:
gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode -t string sloppy
or
gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode -t string mouse
Are they safe?
Further, is there a guide to "hack" my GNOME shell. It's really nice
but there's something I'd like to change, like focus mode and enable
workspace cycle (if possible)
Thanks!!
Best,
