Cross posting.
by Michael Favia 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

There is an awful lot of cross posting between test and devel these days. It gets pretty tiresome deleting threads that are exact duplicates on both lists and im afraid the only result is the possible deletion of something that is pertinent to the respective list. Is this desired or expected activity? I'd cross post this but i think vaguely i remember something about pots and kettles. -mf

Bluetooth security
by Chris Adams 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

I'm trying to get a Bluetooth mouse working with my notebook and rawhide. I'm getting close, but I realized one thing missing: how do I set up security? When I associate my mouse with WinXP, it asks me to verify I want to do that (shows the device ID so I can make sure only my mouse works). When I turn my mouse on while the notebook is running Linux, it grabs it automatically. How do I keep just any mouse from associating with my notebook under Linux? -- Chris Adams <cmadams(a)hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

REQUEST FOR TESTERS: xorg-x11-fonts-7.0-2
by Mike A. Harris 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

I've built new xorg-x11-fonts packages to attempt to resolve bug #173875. The new packages seem to resolve the issue fine for me with local testing. However, since this changes the encodings.dir files which all invocations of mkfontdir and mkfontscale use, it is possible that these changes at least theoretically could change the way that fonts.dir files get generated. It is thus theoretically possible that people's fonts could disappear, or that some other unexpected results could occur after updating to the new font packages. As such, since FC5 is very close, in line with keeping risks to a minimum this late in the cycle, I want to get as many people as possible to upgrade to the new font packages and provide feedback before I consider putting them into rawhide. Please download the following font rpms, and upgrade to all of them with "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" and report back any error messages that occur, or any problems that occur after upgrading to the new packages. Please reboot your system so that xfs, the X server, and whatnot are all completely restarted to maximize the testing benefit. Additionally, I have put a diff of the spec file changes I've made in a file attachment in the bug. Peer review of the changes are also appreciated. The idea here is to try to avoid last minute catastrophes from entering the fray. Your help in testing this is greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173875 Thanks in advance. -- Mike A.

Notification bubble
by Michael Knepher 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

At some point during the Gnome 2.13.x development cycle, the notification bubbles were changed to an irregularly shaped balloon like this: http://www.bluethingy.com/linux/bubble2.png (as seen on my up-to-date rawhide install) While in the latest preview for gnome-2.14, the bubbles appear to have reverted to the older style: http://www.gnome.org/~davyd/gnome-2-14/images/libnotify.png I've noticed that dapper also has the "new old" bubbles. Is my system messed up, is the gnome-2.14 preview incorrect, or is Fedora going with the hideous blue balloons?

I don't know if it is related but since the upgrade I cannot start kde or gnome anymore as a normal user. For kde I get: startkde: Starting up... DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-776' to 'kded' startkde: Shutting down... klauncher: Exiting on signal 1 startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done. Starting X and KDE as root works fine though! I reinstalled the whole kde set, and een went back to kde of FC5test3 (as suggested by older post having similar problems), but that does not help. Also removing the .kde tree does not help. It probably is some sort of permission problem but I don't have a clue where to look.... Any suggestions? Thanks -Marcel -- ======-------- Marcel J.E.

Here the result summary: 176 distinct failures 93 failures because of missing PreReq: coreutils (various commands in scripts not available during install or erase) 53 failures because of missing PreReq: hicolor-icon-theme or using --ignore-theme-index for gtk-update-icon-cache 20 failures because of missing PreReq: chkconfig 5 failures because of missing PreReq: info 2 failures because of missing PreReq: selinux-policy-targeted 1 failures because of missing PreReq: scrollkeeper 1 failures because of a typo in a script 1 failures because of wierd ldconfig problem (most likely test bug) I've attached the whole list to this email.

RPM file name standard?
by Joe Desbonnet 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

Is there a document that defines the format of a RPM file name for the Fedora project? For example consider these RPMs: ImageMagick-perl-6.2.2.0-3.fc4.0.i386.rpm ImageMagick-perl-6.2.2.0-3.fc4.1.i386.rpm I'm puzzled about the significance of the numbers 0 and 1 following ".fc4." in these update RPMs. Thanks, Joe.

Stateless linux and an idea of mine for SMALL networks without servers
by Nic 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

Disclaimer: I hope that this is the right mailing list, but I really wanted to reach developers would can say if it's feasible and what to use for that. Anyway, I was fighting the usual problems with networks and came up with the following dream to make my life easier as a network admin. Basically I am tired of fixing things, of worrying if a hard disk will die, of having to deal with data access, backup etc... I was thinking this through by looking at how most of my coworkers, friends, and small offices use their PCs in day-to-day operations and applying that work flow to a solution. Before, somebody screams, this means little or moderate daily data generation so that, basically, a laptop drive could hold the entire company's data. (This may require email-purge rules and other things like that). Anyway here it is: Basically, I suggest that (almost) all PCs in the network be laptops with the exact same image. Furthermore, they replicate their HD continuously (with possibly some delay). This certainly applies to the user data and application. It may not be necessary for the OS I am not sure of the technology to use here, but I thought something deriving from the P-to-P technology, some distributed file system, some database replication technology or even freenet could be a good base. Since every laptop will contain ALL the data for the whole network, every laptop uses hardware encryption at the hard disk level using an external dongle/card/whatever to limit the risk when a laptop is lost or stolen. Additionally, every login ALSO uses a dongle/card for access to their account. This makes it (almost) impossible for somebody stealing a laptop to get access to the whole data. Additionally, it makes it (alomst) impossible for somebody to fet to other people's data. If a system dies, you just get a new one and sync it up. However, one main idea is that you always have EVERYTHING you need right where you are, no matter WHERE you are. Also, there is no UPS to worry about. Communication between PCs could be implemented using VPN/IPSec or whatever other protected mechanism. Internet access would have to be "sandboxed", but UNIX based OSes allow for that easily. That's the gist of it. A lot of things can be configured in many ways, but the whole point here is to simplify people's life. Look at it from a disaster recovery: a lot of people bring their laptop home. Even if the company's building burns down as well as a few employees homes, one surviving laptop is enough to bring the business back online. Pros: * seamless company disaster recovery * seamless personal computer loss recovery (you lose everything since the last sync) * you can use ANY laptop and find YOUR own environment and files * no central server/single point of failure * no UPS except for the internet firewall (this comes from the PCs being laptops) Cons: * sync across a lot of PCs might be tricky and needs to be tuned. Maybe randonly select one as master like the SMB Master browser election works? * each laptop needs to have enough space for the whole company's data * maybe not appropriate for disk intensive applications (video capture...) I wanted to post it here for other people to use if they think it's a good idea. (and also to preempt any proprietary company from saying "me first") It seems that Windows Vista is coming with some automatic synchronization across two PCs so, that's one step towards it, but we have different goals. I posted this somewhere and somebody pointed me toward stateless linux and it seems pretty cool and close to what I was thinking of. I'll look smoe more into it, but does anybody see this as useful for VERY SMALL networks? (I already got bashed by enterprise admins sneernig at people who don't want a rack server, so if that's your intent, just reply "me too"). Feel free to comment (I know people will). Nick
