Gnome-rpd
by Lawrence E Graves
Is anyone having trouble using gnome-rdp. I get an error message that
says: getaddressinfo can't find name or something to that affect. Anyway
it is not working. Is there a fix out there or will I have to wait until
final release candidate.

Evolution consuming 50% cpu on FC 16
by Alfredo P. Ricafort
Hi,
My Inbox has about 20+ sub-folders. If I click on the Inbox folder the cpu consumption would spike to 50% and stays there.
When I click on any of the sub-folders the cpu will go down to 0%.
My Evolution is converted from an old version(FC11). I converted it by first creating a backup and then do a restore. I receive email
by 'Local Delivery' and send email using 'Sendmail'.
Any idea what is causing the 50+% spike in CPU?
Thanks.

Dialup users and keeping a system updated
by Chuck Peters
I have a friend using Fedora 15 and I have asked her keep the system
updated, but she has fallen behind and now has 300+MB to download (not
counting presto if it helps). I have searched for a method which would
allow me to download them on a faster net connection, but I haven't found
something simple similar to what we used with Debian/Ubuntu. apt-zip
creates a script and once I run the script with the faster net connection
it wget's all the files, or I can get a list of URI's with apt-get
dselect-update --print-uris.
I would like to get the system updated before we need to upgrade the
machine to Fedora 17, ie. yum update --print-uris would help. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Chuck

dracut in kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686 and kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.i686 fails to mount root

The system then drops into the shell.
Bug ID 822792 at bugzilla.redhat.com is about this problem.
However, I am stuck booting kernel-3.3.4-3.fc16.i686 which does not have
this problem.
I have received no further updates on this problem, which might be
unique to my laptop???
I have also uploaded to the bug the full log of dracut and a file output
of rpm -qa in order
for the devs to see which package might be the culprit.
So, I looked a little further, and found the cause.
The UUID in /etc/fstab was created by the clean install of fc16 from DVD.
That uuid is
259d7b44-1122-42cc-b504-3dd40027d3b9
whereas dracut in the 2 kernels that are failing to mount root, thinks
the uuid should be 03f82b3c-5163-465b-a4c3-3bcb349a1cc4
fstab contains the line
UUID=03f82b3c-5163-465b-a4c3-3bcb349a1cc4 / ext3 defaults 0 0
as stated above, kernel kernel-3.3.4-3.fc16.i686
has no problem mounting root with uuid 03f82b3c-5163-465b-a4c3-3bcb349a1cc4
So, I guess I will save old fstab, recompute the blkid of all devices in
fstab
and reboot.

partition question
by Phil Dobbin
Hi, all.
I've Googled this question quite extensively & before I proceed I
thought I'd ask for an opinion. It's quite a common predicament so
apologies in advance if I'm creating noise.
I have a machine running Fedora 16 X86_64 which is a recent addition &
now I need to use some of the unused space on the HD for another OS
(CentOS). When I originally installed Verne, I just accepted Anaconda's
"replace existing Linux system" so I have this:
# pvdisplay -v
Scanning for physical volume names
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sda2
VG Name vg_sandstar
PV Size 74.04 GiB / not usable 10.00 MiB
Allocatable yes (but full)
PE Size 32.00 MiB
Total PE 2369
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 2369
PV UUID nRaEqV-MTHe-ArbR-OCwh-VKTw-vZjG-gX6phH
so as I understand it, my two viable options are a non-destructive
resize or a clean install & use Anaconda to create a blank partition for
use as the second OS (well, I do have a third: I have a brand new 60GB
USB HD that could be used but I don't really want to go down that road).
The disk is 80GB & I have a 3.91GB swap, a 23.38GB home & root is 46.75.
Total disk space that is actually used is minimal, less than 10 GBs.
Possibly the easiest route would be to do a clean install but I'd really
like to try to see if I can successfully resize it as I've never tried
it before.
Any opinions would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Phil...

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables MTP_CFLAGS
and MTP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

confusion on /sbin/ifconfig on F16
by Paul Allen Newell
Hello:
As I continue dealing with iptables, another issue has come up that I
can't tell is a mis-understanding on my part or a potential problem
I have three F16 machines, one x86_64 and two i383/686. If I run
/sbin/ifconfig on them, I get (short summary of):
x86_64: eth0
i686: em1
Looking in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, I can see only ifcfg-em1 and
no ifcfg-eth0 on all the machines (x86_64 and i686).
The closest bugzilla I can see if 784314 but it looks like it hints that
ifconfig is old-school and the right way to do things (and its F17 not F16).
Does anyone know what I am either doing wrong or if this looks like a
problem/bug. Plus, if there is a better way, I'd love to know.
What I want to do is have is a bash way to get the static ip address of
the machine which I can see in eth0/em1. I've been using something I
found online which assumes everything is eth0 (as in I think it was for
older Fedora):
+++
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'
+++
Its too clever for me to have come up with on my own (smile).
I tried expanding the grep to be 'inet addr:192.168.2' but that failed
on the laptop which has an entry for wireless which is dhcp (I cannot
assume wireless will be 192.168.2.*).
Any suggestions appreciated,
Thanks,
Paul

The death of Hibernate?
by Geoffrey Leach
It appears that among some kernel maintainers there's an opinion that
the hibernate (suspend to disk) capability is of insufficient interest
to users to justify the difficulty of maintenance. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781749
Will anyone for whom hibernate is important please add a
note to the bug report, so that the maintainers will know that their
efforts are much appreciated?
Thanks.

KDE Network Manager Applet goes weird
by Jonathan Ryshpan
After last night's upgrade, the Network Manager applet in the KDE tray
now appears as a red X. Clicking on it produces a message that the
network manager isn't running, and that I should please start it. In
fact networking seems to be running just fine. Has anyone else seen
this?
System is Fedora-16 running on x86_64 hardware; KDE version 4.8.3. The
applet doesn't identify itself; here's the log of the Network Manager
upgrade:
