Microphone Int's configuration is lost after a reboot
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
In the mixer configuration panel, I have set the Mic Int level to the
maximum possible. This works fine during the same session, but, when I
reboot the laptop, I get the “Mic Int” set to the minimum level. Is
this a bug or simply a feature? I am using F16 x64 and XFCE.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

how to start fvwm from the console command line?
by stan
I'm looking at alternative window managers to Gnome fallback, the only
Gnome my old hardware and work preference will support. The more I
investigate fvwm, the more it seems like a nice stable,
extremely configurable solution to my problem. The modular concept is
great, and the ability to program behavior in a scripting language and
interface seemlessly to the wm seems like a nice idea too. Sure, there
is a learning curve, and no GUI configuration, but I can come to my
perfect setup, and won't need to worry about dependency on the latest
bee someone has in their bonnet about what constitutes a modern GUI.
Well, at least until I updgrade my hardware, and maybe not even then.
There is a problem though. How do I start fvwm from a console? What
is the command for fvwm corresponding to startx or startxfce4? I found
XSESSION=fvwm2 startx -- :1 vt11
and that works, but seems to just start the regular Gnome fallback
mode that startx by itself does. Maybe this is so well known that no
one bothers documenting it, but I couldn't find it on the web.
Anyone have an answer?

Re: users Digest, Vol 97, Issue 43
by shreyas m
I want a process to be running with root privileges, without providing the
root password. Since i have my process in a remote machine. I want it such
that, as soon as the system boots up, my process should be running with
root privilege. Is there any way in which i can attain it?
Is there any possibility of forking c program as a child process of init
process.
If so please guide me on how to do it.
Thank You

...kernel module signing on x86??? Why?
by Joshua C.
I saw that the x86 modules can (_should_) be signed int the future. We
all know the pros and cons of signing but I'm wondering if all this
_crap_ has anything to do with the microsoft's idea to use a signed
bootloader, drivers, etc in the latest windoof 8. I think all of you
have heard that there's a posibility to make the OEM vendors activate
the so called "secure boot" by default.
Honestly I'm wondering why (if ever) do we need this step?

to ibus or not to ibus, that is the question
by Peter G.
My system has been working fine. I noticed that the input method selector showed
that no input method was in use. I also noticed that ibus was recommended, so I
decided to enable it. I logged out and back in, as directed.
I haven't got a clue what the advantage is and I don't see any difference,
except that there is now an applet in the system tray that says "no input
window", but when I start firefox, it says "english default layout (intl)".
ibus is recommended, but what am I getting here? I don't see any difference,
excepting the (useless) applet.

Gnome-Shell
by David Quigley
Is there a list anywhere of supported hardware for gnome-shell? I've
tried it on 3 computers so far and none of them work. The first was
VMWare which I've seen isn't supported so I wrote that off. The second
was a dell optiplex 790 with on-board intel accelerated graphics. The
final one is an optiplex 960 with a Radeon HD 3450 in it. Is there
something wrong with the setup or is gnome-shell really that selective
about hardware even after its been in two Fedora releases?

hal missing.... k3b can't find DVD
by Martín Marqués
I see that F16 doesn't have hald anymore, and when trying to write a
DVD, k3b says it can't find the optical drive, and that I should check
out that hal daemon is up.
So, what's up?
