Fedora 14 media replication
by Rahul Sundaram 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi Can anyone inquire what is the cost of mass media replication (plus labelling etc) in Bangalore? At some point, the rates for per DVD would fall. If anyone can provide a few contact numbers, I wouldn't mind calling up and asking the details. It would be useful for foss.in and other local events. Rahul

Hi, I have got 20 OLPC's with me. My task is to create and install a distribution that has XFCE+Sugar on it. Is it possible to run Fedora on OLPC XO hardware? Is there any spin available in Fedora that could do the job? -- Arun S.A.G http://zer0c00l.in/

Hi - I'm trying this for almost 4 hrs now - Still not getting it. I need to override the rpm macro _sbindir from /usr/sbin something like "/opt/sbin" (I don't want to override default prefix "/usr" ) I tried adding it in ~/macro or editing /usr/lib/rpm/macro - nothing seems to work for me. not even from command line - #rpm --define '_sbindir /opt' # rpm --eval '%_sbindir' /usr/sbin Thanks for any help. -- ---- Cheers, Lakshmipathi.G FOSS Programmer. www.giis.co.in

Panel Font Color
by Sawrub 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

Hi All, After a bit of googling i found that in order to change the font color of the panel text, i need to add a small piece of code to the '.gtkrc-2.0' file under my home directory. <code in .gtkrc-2.0> style "panel" { fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff" } widget "*PanelWidget*" style "panel" widget "*PanelApplet*" style "panel" class "*Panel*" style "panel" widget_class "*Mail*" style "panel" class "*notif*" style "panel" class "*Notif*" style "panel" class "*Tray*" style "panel" class "*tray*" style "panel" </code in .gtkrc-2.0'> Did same and it also solved my problem but introduced another. The right click on clock or thrash and couple of other panel applets now show a menu with text in white font [my selected font color] with white background, which makes reading the menu impossible. The other menu's a re just fine except the mentioned. Its only when i hover the mouse on the list item, that the list item is readable since then the background changes to blue. Please help me in solving the issue. I've attached the screen-shot in case of Trash. -- Saurabh Sharma Linux user number: 490644 http://sawrub-blog.blogspot.com/ Open your doors.......It's time to look beyond Windows

FOSS.IN 2010 Retrospective
by Rahul Sundaram 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi We have a tradional post even period for suggestions/feedback on what we did right and what we could improve upon either individually or as a team. Although FOSS.IN team has announced that they aren't continuing the event, the feedback is important for us to organize ourselves better for other events as well. So I am looking forward to any feedback from participants. The one thing that immediately comes to mind is that, we were asked for x86_64 media for a number of users, much more than any other event that I have seen. So it does appear x86_64 has gone mainstream now and we need to do media for both architectures going forward with more x86 media still. We probably could have used more keychains and buttons as they were way too popular as usual. Let me know your thoughts if you were part of the Fedora team attending foss.in or even just a participant who attended a session in the mini conf, main conf , booth or something else. The feedback can range from anything about the choice of hotel, logistics, talks and everything in between. Rahul

XChat - copy with mouse right click
by Saleem Ansari 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Regarding: XChat 2.8.8 - A multiplatform IRC Client Linux 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64 [x86_64/800.50MHz/SMP] Charset: UTF-8 Renderer: Pango Compiled: Dec 10 2010 When using XChat, I can't copy selected text using mouse right click in the chat window ( where all the conversations scroll up ). The whole menu ( which is the XChat main menu on top ) just pops up again when I right click. I would consider it as a usability issue. Most of the GUI applications that I use on my desktop ( be it GNOME or KDE ), support copy with right click, on selecting "Copy" menu item. Since its a pretty obvious behaviour, I want to know if anyone has had this thought earlier. Is this already fixed in some version of XChat? I can however use Ctrl+C key combination after selecting the text to be copied. /tuxdna
