Ready to spend few hours in a week

18 Dec '07

Hello, I had introduced myself to this list couple of months back. I do have a Fedora Account and a Wiki Name. Initially I was very interested to work on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/CommandLineSurvivalGuide. Unfortunately people who were already working on it did not respond. I am willing to contribute to any docs project I can. I read that DUG needs some love. Can I have the pleasure of someone assigning specific tasks to me? -- Thanks and regards, Sudheer Satyanarayana http://binaryvibes.co.in

wiki problems
by Karl Larsen 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Here is my latest wiki problem. I can get up to what appears to be my page because it has my wiki name in upper left which is KarlLarsen. Just below that is the words Create New Page. I click on that and get this error message: You are not allowed to edit this page. I'm at a stop now because I can't start. Karl -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org.

console.perms
by Karl Larsen 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

I used the info in info console.perms and from several other sources to teach me how to write a file that changes /dev/ttyS0 ownership from root to me when I am on the console. As it happens this is the devise in Fedora that lets you use a serial port which in windows talk is Com1. The info console.perms is written by Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm(a)redhat.com> and I suspect he wrote the software. Alas what he wrote is real bad. It tells him what it does but it was way over my head. After reading a lot of other things I figured out how to use this software and it did work. But it took a whole day. I would like to re-write this console-perm man page from the pov of a user rather than the writer of the code. This I can do from what I did to make the serial port work. Is this something we do?

Relnotes content feed spam
by Paul W. Frields 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Is there any way to cut down or stop spam to our relnotes content list feed? Is it because we don't require membership so that we can feed content from non-human sources? -- Paul W.

XFCE - (Dug)
by Marc Wiriadisastra 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Hey all, Quick question I've started to add some screenshots to the XFCE guide though I'm not to sure that they are correct. As per the screenshot I have uploaded it doesn't match what is written. Can someone double check if they have XFCE that when I installed last night the screenshot is the default? E.g. The Xfce desktop has three distinct areas. From top to bottom, the areas are: * The menu panel * The desktop area * The window list panel The menu panel and window list panel are opposites on mine. Cheers, Marc

CentOS
by Marc Wiriadisastra 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hey all, http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks Has a lot of info while not directly related to Fedora will help guide people to do certain tasks. I know they have copied the Red Hat docs as well and licensed them appropriately if someone is interested in having a look. Adjustments can be made or reference to the docs can be done possibly? Cheers, Marc

Re: Voting System Conflicts

Moving over to f-docs-l for discussion. FAMSCo is politely requesting our slot to do their elections, since they are now ready; details below. If we had a full slate of candidates, I wouldn't want to move our election and would ask them to take it up after the 24th of December. However, we're a bit shy on candidates. Should we take the extra time?
