gedit corrupted cause GNOME hang
by Chen Gang-Cuble
Hi:
I think it's a bug.
Environment: Fedora 16/GNOME 3
Precondition: Two gedit was opened and both had several files opened.
Operation: Drag a opened file's tag from one gedit to another by left
key of mouse. (Actually, I'd like to move one file from a gedit instance
to another)
Result: Gnome3 hung and died.
Do you see the similar problem?
Thank you!
Br,
Chen Gang

Installing F16 from a Live USB
by Aaron Konstam
If I install the F16 system from a live usb by using the option to
install the system on a machiner with a Win XP partition is the
installer clever enough to integrate the Win XP into the boot options?
I know the sentence is too long,

Weird behavior of Desktop Env
by JD
On FC16, with all latest updates.
My session is XFCE4.
Until a couple of days ago, XFCE was working just fine.
Suddenly, without any provocation from me, (nor new packages
installed, no packages deleted) - I am getting 2 different sets of
panels.
One set of panels is that of Gnome - on top is the launch bar,
and on bottom is the task switcher bar.
I also have the xfce4 panels, which are on right (launch bar) and
on left, task switcher bar.
How can I stop this insanity?
I am starting to get very paranoid about F16 that it may have been
shipped fully equipped with a trojan.
This, in addition to what I have been seeking help for - no audio
for media players. Only Firefox can play online YT videos and
audio works then.
I am indeed on the verge of completely dumping FC16. It has
been a very frustrating experience.

NFS mount fails CentOS5 on FC16 host
by Bill Davidsen
I get a message "rpc.idmapd appears not to be running" when it is running, and
I'm using the same setup I have on my other clients from FC9 to fc17, including
both 32/64 bit RHEL. Checked DNS to be sure the IP reverse maps properly, etc,
etc. I do this on a real bunch of other machines, so I'm reasonably sure it's
set up correctly. I did diff idmapd config between working and non-working
machines, etc.
Everything maps to nobody, which is not useful. Both CentOS5 and FC16 machines
are current on patches.
mount is "rw,soft,intr -t nfs4" and the idmap process is running on host and
client, remounts from other clients work, etc, etc.
Anyone have a clue?

KDE 4.9
by John Aldrich
Anyone know when KDE 4.9 will be released in Fedora? Will that be in
F16 or F17? I'm anxious to know because a major "glitch" in KMail is
supposedly fixed in 4.9, and I'd like to get my hands on it. :D OTOH,
I'm not so anxious as to add updates-testing to my YUM. :D I'll let
someone ELSE be the "guinea pig" :D
Just curious to know if I'll have to wait for F17 or if F16 will
eventually be updated to KDE 4.9. Thanks!

Encrypting swap
by Konstantin Svist
I'm setting up a laptop with encrypted btrfs root.
Problem is, I can't seem to find a way to encrypt the swap so that it
would be usable for hibernation.
* Simple setup for encrypting swap uses a random key generated on each
boot, so resuming doesn't work.
* Using the same key for swap & root is not recommended because some
tool caches the password, making the whole thing meaningless [1]
* Using a swap file doesn't work because btrfs is Copy-On-Write, so the
filesystem may get messed up by hibernate/resume process.
I'm not sure if the "same key" problem exists in Fedora 16, I've tried
setting it up this way and I'm able to boot but not resume.
Any help appreciated!

KDE 4.9
by John Aldrich
Disregard... I just went and saw that the F17 release is supposed to
happen in a few days, so I guess that answers my question about KDE
4.9 and F16. :D

AW: Firefox problems
by public@boris-glawe.de
Hi,
Have you installed the most current version of flash?
Remove the .adobe and .macromedia directory in your homedir to reset the flash settings.
Install the original firefox from mozilla.org in order to find out whether it's a firefox or a fedora problem.

Have firefox-12.0-1.fc16.i686
Problem1: Youtube videos auto-repeat. Have no idea where the setting for
that is.
Problem2: Most youtube videos stop at 0:42 seconds position and after a
while (about a couple of minutes),
I get an error message in the video display area, telling me
to try again later.
Problem3: Clicking File->Quit does NOT save my tabs and windows, which
is contrary to what
the mozilla support page claims:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20does%20not%20ask%20to%20sav...
Am I missing a setting or settings?
Tried to login to my bugzilla.mozilla account to search for similar bugs,
but for some reason, the login fails with server not found.
