F17 - problem with overheating
by Paolo De Michele
hi all,
I've installed F17 on my laptop Sony VPCEB4C4E 32bit (KDE)
I noticed that very hot without doing anything complex; the fan runs like
crazy -
I opened the laptop to see if there was dust on the cpu fan but it is clean
I noticed that maybe when I watch a video, I look at the mail (thunderbird,
kmail) or do a bit of multitasking then the fan runs a lot (the cpu never
reaches 100%)
what can be the problem?
thanks in advance
cheers

problem with setting page limit
by Adel ESSAFI
Dear list
I am trying to set a page limitation on F17 to a printer installed on a
server with manu system users.
At the begginig, things looks easy. Si I tryed this command
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p ML-4550-Series -o job-quota-period=604800 -o
job-page-limit=2
and I got this in /etc/cups/printers.conf
<Printer ML-4550-Series>
UUID urn:uuid:5de5f6d4-255c-3e22-4f2f-77dd7d18eff1
Info ML-4550-Series
MakeModel Samsung ML-4600 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 Simplified
DeviceURI usb://Samsung/ML-4550%20Series?serial=4821B1AB400658F
State Idle
StateTime 1356611816
Type 4116
Accepting Yes
Shared Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 604800
PageLimit 2
KLimit 0
OpPolicy default
ErrorPolicy stop-printer
</Printer>
(I restarted cups)
However, when I log as a normal user and print a file with many pages
(more than 2) , the print succeed ( the page limit option is set correctly).
Do you have an experience with this?
regards
Adel

Can anyone recommend a good video editing tool?
by Bill Davidsen
I am looking for something to edit video and snip a few passages out to save.
Something like audacity for video. I am loading avidemux as I type, but the avi
format seems to have limitations which are much more restrictive than mpg. The
OReilly "Multimedia" book is seven years old, and is more like a history book
than a useful user guide by now.
Good holidays to all.

Re: Partitioning between SDD and HDD
by J.Witvliet@mindef.nl
Just my 2 cents, though personal experience.
18 months ago i replaced on a machine the traditional hdd with a sdd. And indeed, it started and worked like greased lightning.
However, i installed it like i used to do, with swap....
One year (and many patches) later, i got that many bad blocks that the sdd was completely useless.
So sdd has it merrits but:
A) no swap on sdd, so either enough mem, or swap on traditional hddm
B) keep things like /var so on hdd
C) if you _realy_ enough mem, put /var and /tmp on tmpfs (eg, in mem)

You mean that all this hype over SSD's and they're LIMITED? I thought they were supposed to be BETTER than the spinning drives of today? Exaclty how are they better if they come "out-of-the-box" with limitations? Just curious...
It's well known that flash devices have a limited number of writes. This number is pretty high, though. And with caching and load-balancing built into the drive's firmware, it is typically not a major concern.
However, although SSD devices have lightning-fast read performance, writing to them is considerably slower. Think of the difference between reading a big file from a flash thumb drive versus writing a big file. That doesn't mean that you should never write to them, but if the intended use involves writing very frequently (like /var or /tmp) then it might not be a good fit.
Also, SSD is much more expensive, byte-for-byte, than a hard drive. If you want a lot storage (my /home partition is well over a terabyte) then SSD is pretty cost prohibitive.
On the other hand, my system drive is SSD and, because of the fast read performance, my computer boots, after the BIOS screen, in four seconds. From the login screen to my desktop is another 2-3 seconds. Starting even very large applications is pretty snappy.
WOW!.....talk about speeding up. Well I have a Gateway laptop so there's not physical way I could do 2 different types of drives, but I also have a CentOS desktop, maybe I can do it there, is SSD something that an old "Pentium 4" PC could use? I think I'll look into this...do some Googling! Thanks for the info!

unmount usb disk
by Maurizio Marini
This is a fedora 17 x64.1
I have attached my backup usb disk and now I would unmount it.
I am unable to unmount it as some processes lock it.
f17 16:19:37 root@tikal: / # lsof /mnt/
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
nepomukse 26624 maumar 15r DIR 8,17 16384 4276225 /mnt/etc
nepomukse 26624 maumar 16r DIR 8,17 4096 4276258 /mnt/etc/avahi

f17 16:22:11 root@tikal: / # fuser /mnt/
/mnt: 26
What it the safe way to umount it?
I am tempted to pull usb cable and disconnect it, but i feel that some process
will reclaim the device complaing until i reboot the notebook.
please advice
many thnx

Laptop Intel wireless card as access point
by Suvayu Ali
Hi,
I wanted to configure the wireless card on my ThinkPad as a wireless
access point for my Android phone. But it seems the Intel iwlwifi
drivers do not support "master mode". Can someone confirm? In case I'm
wrong, could you please point me to any documentation as to how I can
configure this?
Cheers,

/run directory
by Bob Holtzman
Just started trying out fc17 after a long time away from Red Hat/Fedora.
I have been trying to figure out the logic behind mounting removable
media in the /run/media directory or, for that matter, the function of
/run. The only thing I've found was in the release notes where it
mentions it with no explanation. Searches turned up little.
Any pointers?

Multimedia Catalog web app
by Ranbir
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a php/perl/something based app that will allow me to
catalog my videogames, books, CDs, BDs, and DVDs. I just searched
sourceforge, but didn't come up with anything I liked.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm running MySQL and Apache.
However, I have no aversion to PostgreSQL, or SQLite for the DB bits.
I'd prefer to stick with Apache for the web server.
Thanks!
Regards,
Ranbir
p.s.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
