Gnome 3 child process inheritance problems
by Robert McBroom
Starting an alternate session with ctrl-alt f2 and starting up the gui.
Using
startx -- :1
for alternate session.
Top level stuff launched from the menus works but starting programs from a
terminal session fails.
There are multiple lines
No protocol specified
ending with
Display localhost:0.0 unavailable
The environment variable $DISPLAY still has localhost:0.0 not what would be
appropriate for the alternate session.
If I remember correctly it should be localhost:1.0 but setting the variable to
that doesn't work.
Ideas?

slim (simple login manager)
by John Schmitt
slim started up fine when this machine was running Fedora 14. I installed it from for Fedora 15:
slim-1.3.2-8.fc15.x86_64
It doesn't start any more. I get this in /var/log/slim.log:
slim: unexpected signal 15
sh: /usr/bin/xauth: Permission denied
I'm trying to launch slim by changing my /etc/sysconfig/desktop from:
DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"
to:
DESKTOP="OPENBOX"
DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/bin/slim-dynwm
How do I fix this?

F-15 Scanner Tool -
by Bob Goodwin
I believe Scanner Tool translates to xsane? I know I had an
application that permitted editing those names in the menu but
can't recall its name?
I'm trying to copy a page of clear text with an HP-5370C flat
bed scanner that I have been using for some time. I am using
xsane which I believe I installed via yum before I realized that
Scanner Tool meant xsane. Scanner Tool will not start apparently
because it sees another version of xsane.
That's not really my problem however. I have saved scans as .png
and .pnm and neither will print a clear copy. The text looks as
though it was copied through the mesh of a window screen and is
hard to read.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Adding a Package to Fedora System?
by Michael D. Setzer II
I've been the maintainer of the G4L project for about 6 or 7 years
now, and I've been building it with my Fedora systems and using it
on them to do disk and partition images. Normally, it is run from a
cd, but one can simple copy the kernel file and ramdisk.lzma file
to the boot directory, and add a few lines to the grub.conf to
make it a boot option into ram to make images or restore them.
Was looking on getting info on what the process would be to do
this. For me it is very useful, and I hope those that download it
from sourceforge also find it so.
Thanks.

Continued problems with kernel 2.6.40.3-0 and nvidia 280.13-2 in fc15 ?
by linux guy
Am I the only one having problems with kernel 2.6.40.3-0 and/or
(a)kmod-nvidia 280.13-2 in fc14 and/or fc15 ?
My Dell duo won't boot the afore mentioned kernel at all. It fails with a
kernel bug message. It runs prior kernels just fine.
My HP laptop freezes during a graphical session login with the
aforementioned kernel and nvidia module. It did so in FC14. I upgraded to
fc15 and it does the same thing.
The same laptop runs the F15 Live iso just fine and also runs the
aforementioned kernel from the cli just fine. The problem is only when a
graphical session is being used.
Is anyone else having the same problem or is it just me ?
