f17 - k3b and mp3
by Robert Moskowitz
I had instructions for f16 from T.C. to do the following after checking
that libmad was install:
All of the k3b plugins inappropriate for Fedora are packed in the
"k3b-extras-freeworld" package in RPMFusion-Free. Install that and
run 'kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental' and you'll be all set.
So I installed k3b-extras-freeworld then ran the kbuild... and got the
following errors:
# kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
kbuildsycoca4 running...
kbuildsycoca4(7783) VFolderMenu::loadDoc: Parse error in
"/root/.config/menus/applications-merged/xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu" ,
line 1 , col 1 : "unexpected end of file"
kbuildsycoca4(7783) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry
Categories in "/usr/share/applications/fedora-release-notes.desktop" is
not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon).
I started up k3b and did not get the mp3 warning. Is the kbuild no
longer needed or did it do its job before the errors or am I still
messed up????

failing drives or false positives
by Brian West
Hi everyone
yesterday i began receiving messages from one of my drives in my hard
drive dock that it could be failing. so i tested my notebooks drive and
the docked drive in question both said tests completed without error
both short and extended tests were performed is my drive really failing
or is this a false positive. logs for each drive are below what really
gets me is both of the drives give the exact same output for the most
part should i be concerned? Thanks in advance for your time.

How do I disable polkitd?
by lee
Hi,
it seems systemctl doesn't know about polkitd though pstree shows it as
started by systemd. There don't seem to be files for starting polkitd
in /etc. It cannot be removed because almost 600 packages depend on it
:(
So how do I disable it?

mostly OT: mount usb connection
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Sorry to post this here, but having struggled for over 36 hours
including turning to Windoze (complete waste of time, no joy) I thought
that someone may have some suggestions on what to do.
I am using F17 (LXDE) but this is not really the issue here.
So, I had this old Arnova 10 tablet which I wanted to unroot, and
install Android 2.2 (from 2.1) so I flashed the apprpriate image using
the USB connection and all appeared well.
However, during the touchscreen calibration stage, the calibration did
not get done correctly (or much at all from what I can tell). Looking
around, this seems to be happen and the way to get around it is to go
in and remove the necessary files. The trouble however is that I can no
longer mount the USB so I can not enter the device. When I mount the
USB onto my F17, I get the following:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bb4:0c02 High Tech Computer Corp. Dream /
ADP1 / G1 / Magic / Tattoo (Debug)
however, this does not get mounted. Actually, the screen of the tablet
says "USB connected" but unfortunately also "USB debugging connected".
(And the latter is the problem: the issue appears to be that the latter
has to be disabled, which can only be done using the touchscreen, which
is not recognized.) Btw, I can not attach a mouse or a keyboard to the
tablet either because the USB mode has to be activated (done using a
touchscreen again). Also, there is some paperclip press on some reset
hole that should reset the device to factory settings, but absolutely
nothing happens (my fingers become sore from pushing the clip
interminably).
Question: is there a way to "force" linux (F17) to mount the USB as a
storage device? I understand the naivette of this question, but is
something else possible?
Sorry again for the OT nature of this post, but I am at a loss. (I so
much prefer the reliability of a physical keyboard....)
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

What is minimal Fedora install?
by Robert Moskowitz
Or what ever it was called in the install.
The reason I am asking is I need to reinstall on my Asus ee701 which
only has 4Gb SSD, and I provide extra space on an SD card. It was the
SD card that failed me this last time with sector errors, so if I could
fit F17 into say 3Gb (2.5 real?) that would be great.
I have been told be a colleague that has worked for Allied Telesys (sp!)
that the reason the main Linux distros are so hugh is all the source,
doc, and non executable files included. And so we CAN talk about an
embedded full Linux that is stored in 256Mb flash (though I doubt it
includes Firefox and OpenOffice!).

Getting rid of nepomukserver
by R. G. Newbury
I have turned off 'Desktop Search' in Settings. I have deleted all
executables in /usr/bin with 'nepomuk' in the name (and virtuoso). I
have nuked the nepomuk folders hiding down in ~/.kde.
But after I rebooted I *still* ended up with a 'nepomukserver' running.
ps -aux says it is started by kde4init. Setting 'autostart' to false in
/usr/share/./autostart/nepomukserver.desktop
stops that from happening, but *where* is the executable instance which
kdeinit is starting? I wish to nuke it too.

New system - need help with <alt-tab>
by Robert Moskowitz
I killed my old system (f16) with a bottle of pepsi last week at IEEE
802 :( Was rather interesting to do my 'slides' on paper and run off
copies at the business center!
Well I have a new system; basically the same Lenovo x120e, but with the
duo core. I installed f17 and have been rsyncing files off the old
drive onto this system. Most importantly my mail folders!
But the joy is getting Gnome 3 customized. I did NOT do a good job of
note taking last time around with f16. I have one critical challenge
for right now and that is <alt-tab> behavor. I did install
gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab, but this seems to have made things
worst. Now it just lists ALL of my tasks and switches me between
workspaces install of <alt-tab> ONLY in the current workspace.
So what do I still need to add. Right now with the way <alt-tab> is
behaving, I am better off with the default. But I DID have it working
rather well on the old system. Just have to learn the right tools to
install and the right magic selections.
Thanks for your help.
