Naughty question: copy Windows XP under Fedora?
by Timothy Murphy
I always keep a copy of Windows XP on my computers.
I very rarely use them, but find that they are occasionally useful.
In any case, with the upcoming death of XP
I'm thinking of keeping a backup copy of my Windows partition
on a USB stick or external hard disk.
I looked briefly for a method for this under Windows,
but all the solutions I found seemed either absurdly complicated
or else were linked to expensive programs which I certainly don't want.
It struck me that there is probably a simpler way of doing this under Linux,
and I was wondering if someone not of a fanatical bent might help me.

qcad on remote fedora
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
How do you understand this.
qcad works fine on a fedrao 16 x64 machine.
It breaks the gnome-session on a fedora 20 machine (i686). But
when I make a ssh -X connection on the fedora 18 from the
fedora 20 machine and run qcad on the fedora 18, it also
breaks the local gnome-session (ie on the fedora machine).
Why the remote qcad interfers with the local machine ?
Thank.

The url is "pastebin.com/tGhLuhJt"
Found the "fpaste". Thank-you, Ed. I'll try to keep it in mind. What is the size limit? I didn't see one
mentioned in the man page,

Thank-you, Tim. That partially solved the problem. At least now I can get the cursor from one monitor to the
other the short way.
> rpm -q kernel, to see if you have an *fc20* kernel
Thank-you, Frank. Here's what I get:
bash.2[~]: rpm -q kernel
kernel-3.12.6-200.fc19.x86_64
kernel-3.12.7-200.fc19.x86_64
kernel-3.12.8-200.fc19.x86_64
bash.3[~]:
No f20 kernel! Why? I have the correct fedup:
bash.3[~]: rpm -q fedup
fedup-0.8.0-3.fc20.noarch
bash.4[~]:
And I did "fedup --network 20".
Bill.

issue with flash plugin on 1 x86_64 machine
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I have four machines (3 x86_64's and 1 i386). I installed flash on all
4 using the following:
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10-...
For 3 machines, I have had no problems. For 1 x86_64 machine, I
installed flash today but am unable to use it and I keep getting the
following:
Please download the latest flash player to watch videos.
I also looked into this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash
But to no avail. One issue is that I can not reinstall/erase because of
these scriptlet errors which I have been getting for a week.
Any suggestions as to a possible fix?
Many thanks,
Ranjan

f20 - Suspend not working
by Robert Moskowitz
f20 x86-64 on my Lenovo with all the problems I had installing x86_64.
Well I **think** suspend was working, and now it barely works.
Closing the notebook, does nothing except hose Gnome, which restarts on
opening the notebook, and all my apps go into the current workspace (I
have tweaked to have 5 static workspaces). This use to put the notebook
into suspend and would come out with no problems for Gnome.
There is no suspend function available from the top bar. There is an
extension to add hibernate, but it does not seem to provide suspend.
And anyway, hibernate is broken on this Lenovo.
Suspend via sudo pm-suspend works, but seems to still have a problem
with gnome restarting.
I am leaving for LA tomorrow for a week an IEEE 802 wireless interim,
and in and out of suspend is MANDATORY. Typically I would do it a dozen
times per day. I don't like walking around with my notebook open in my
hand from session to session (though had to do it once).
thank you for any help.

I must be missing something.
by Aaron Konstam
I tried to upgrade to f20 by executing :
fedup --network 20
as root. But when the execution is over he only kernel I have on the
system is the f18 kernel. What have I done wrong?

mailx help
by Robert Moskowitz
using mailx to supposedly mail to myself with no sendmail. cron is
failing in the mailing and the message ends in dead.letter.
So I mved dead.letter to d1.letter and tried: "mailx -t -q d1.letter"
(and had to issue a cntl-D) and got:
No recipients specified
"/home/rgm/dead.letter" 41/879
Here is the content of d1.letter. Note that there is a 'To:' line but
it seems mailx does not like it?
