Upgrading to F16, keep ext3 or use ext4?
by Max Pyziur
Per the subject line, I've been slowly updating my Fedora-running hardware
to be within prevailing release cycles.
Should I stick with ext3 or make a move to ext4?
Thanks.

git and selinux
by Pete Stieber
I'm trying to setup a git server on a Fedora 17 box. I created user
name git and setup bare Git repos under /home/git/repos. When I clone
these repos from another machine using
$ git clone git(a)server_name/repos/RepoName.git RepoName
selinux wants the type of /home/git to be user_home_t.
When I try to use http for read-only, public access using
$ git clone http://server_name/git/RepoName.git RepoName
I'm not sure what to do to use both.
A few versions of Fedora ago, I would get sealert entries in some log
(/var/log/messages ?) that would give me hints on how to fix this type
of problem. Is that still available?

f17 yum update failure
by Rich Emberson
After upgrading from f16 to f17 a couple of weeks ago using preupgrade
and then doing an initial 'yum update', everything worked fine - the
yum update worked.
This weekend tried to do a yum update on either my lagtop or server
and I get the same error condition:

thinking about new laptop
by Neal Becker
Currently have hp dv9000 17" used as desktop replacement. I'm thinking about
buying something new (not hp this time). Should I worry about linux
compatibility, or are those issues pretty much resolved now?
I guess graphics chipset is the biggest issue. I don't expect to need 3D
performance, but want decent 2D.
Any suggestions?

Linus Torvalds would also vent if he used Fedora (root password for printers)
by Valent Turkovic
Why is Administrator type account being asked for root pasword when
accessing printer settings?
Is there some user group I need to be part of? Do I need to edit some
system files? Are there some PolicyKit options that need to be edited?
How?
Here are screenshots for printer dialog and user account:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/184632/printer-root.png
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/184632/user-valent.png
If you know how please share how you managed to do it, because it is
driving me nuts, if I'm not mistaken this is the same issue that Linus
Torvalds vented regarding same issue on OpenSuse -

lyx on F16 and F17 does not pront to the default printer
by Aaron Konstam
Both F16 and F17 have the same version of lyx (lyx-2.0.3).
On neither version of Fedora will lyx print to the default printer.
I had to convert the .lyx files to .pdf files to get any printing of the
document.
Have others had different experiences and does someone know how to make
printing work from lyx.

Crash (segfault) adding new invoice
by SternData
When I attempt to add a new invoice, GnuCash just disappears. Running
from the command line, I can see that it segfaults. Everything else
related to invoices (e.g., payments) seems to be OK.
Running from the RPM gnucash-2.4.10-1.fc17.i686
Any ideas on how to fix this?
