php question
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
In order to write a readme for the installation of php scripts on a web
server, I would like to know if it is possible to deactivate (without
uninstalling them) php packages installed on my machine.
I want to be able to tell others what is a minimal install of php on a
machine to be able to run the php scripts on a web site.
Thank you.

preserving partitions during reinstall
by Dave Mitchell
I just did a re-install of a F14 system to bring it up to F17.
I wanted to keep the separate /home partition untouched (i.e. keep the
data), but there didn't seem to be any option to achieve this in the
installer. None of the options seemed to be able to recognise or preserve
the partitioning info within the encrypted LVM volume (as originally set
up by the F13 installer, then unchanged after a F14 upgrade).
Am I missing something, or is this a bug. (This is mostly academic for me
now, as in the end, I backed-up, installed, and restored).
This was my original layout on a single disk system:
sda1 ext4 500 Mb /boot
sda2 LVM PV 113972 Mb vg_pigeon (encrypted)
vg_pigeon:
lv_root: ext4 13024 Mb /
lv_swap: swap 2048 Mb (swap)
lv_home: ext4 98880 Mb /home

Stemming a flood of kernel warnings
by Dave Ulrick
Starting around when kernel 3.4.x came out for FC16, I started getting
frequent ABRT reports for this kernel warning:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854070
As I note in the bug, a new report is generated every time I log off or
resume the laptop from suspend. Sometimes ABRT notices that the incident
is a duplicate, but usually it decides that it's a new incident and
dutifully informs me via the ABRT applet's warning light icon. Frankly,
it's gotten rather tiresome to see that icon pop up nearly every time I
log on or resume from suspend. For now I've disabled the ABRT applet in
XFCE4's auto start list but that's obviously not a great solution.
Is there any possible way I could configure ABRT to stop nagging me about
this particular bug? Note this "bug" is really just a WARN()/assertion in
a kernel module (i915). Other than the annoyance caused by the frequent
bug reports, it causes no visible harm to the function of my system.
Thanks,
Dave

VDQ: F17 xscreensaver error
by Beartooth
When I go from the Main Menu to Settings to Screensaver and
launch xscreensaver, I get an error saying the daemon isn't running; and
trying to start it gets me another error, saying "Please check your $PATH
and permissions."
Would some kind soul please tell me what that means?

Yum cache memory space -
by Bob Goodwin
I just finished a yum update and when done had this error message:
Error Downloading Packages:
1:libreoffice-core-3.5.6.2-2.fc17.x86_64: Insufficient space
in download directory /var/cache/yum/x86_64/17/updates/packages
* free 45 M
* needed 70 M
[root@box9 bobg]# df -h
shows:
/dev/sda2 1.5G 1.5G 0 100% /var
Perhaps I should have allocated space differently?
Can I just clear /var/cache/yum/x86_64/17/updates/packages? I
suspect that if I could it should happen without my help?

F17: power consumption on wired ethernet port
by Fred Smith
I've just started messing around with powertop 2.1, and I notice something
that strikes me as decidedly ODD...
On my eeepc 901, powertop reports that network interface p33p1 consumes
in the range of 5.6 to 7.7 watts, depending on factors that aren't
obvious to me.
it doesn't seem to matter if there's a cable (and resulting working
network connection) or not.
The next highest consumption devices reported are the USB network dongle
at 1.19 watts and wireless network at 1.12 watts.
5.6 watts seems AWFULLY high...
Aanybody got any insight into this? thanks!

Icon themes
by jarmo
Using f17 desktop KDE, now have tried change icon-themes from oxygen
into fedora. Theme manager does something, but actually does not change
anything. When I open manager again, there stands Oxygen as
icon-theme. Yes, I have reconnected into F again, even rebooted.
No luck. Anyone run into same problem?

gparted question
by Tom Horsley
We just replaced a small disk that was going bad with
a bigger disk that the IT department cloned from
the smaller disk. It works fine, but the partition
table (naturally) doesn't know anything about the
additional space.
If I boot the system from a live CD, can I just tell
gparted to grow the extended partition all the way to the
end of the new disk? (Then I'd have free space I could
use to create a new logical partition).
Or is that too easy, and something I can't think of
might go horribly wrong (which is why I ask :-)?

Japanese fonts for romaji input
by jonetsu
Hello,
There are many nice fonts for rendering kanji characters.
Unfortunately the ones that I got so far does not work with the standard
ibus anthy romaji input. Many render the resulting kanji as a square,
no matter what. They are mapped directly to the keyboard keys and so
are useless. Also, I have noticed that Gimp text input does not seem
to work with ibus/anthy - is this a configuration issue ?
What are the nice stylistic Japanese fonts out there that can be used
with romaji input ? What is the method ? Are the words typed as usual
using the basic Fedora Japanese support and ibus/anthy, and then
selected and changed to other style of fonts ? I would like to use
libreoffice primarily, but if it works with Gimp that would be also
nice.
ありがとうございます!
