How can I reduce the number of installed kernels to only one on my Fedora 17 systems? I'm asking about automated approach without the need of manual package removal. I haven't compiled new kernels myself for a very long time so I don't think I'll need more then one kernel installed. Now, I'm using package-cleanup --oldkernel but it's still cleaning up the mess that I want to avoid. Mateusz Marzantowicz

Fixing KDE Desktop FC16

by Javier Perez

Hi How can I fix the KDE Desktop on a FC16 system. I set up this for an in-law and today that I went to update it, I noticed that the desktop says on the upper right hand corner "Copy of Desktop" and none of the usual desktop icons is around. How can I fix this? I 've been googling around but have not found anything useful yet, maybe I am not using the right keywords. Thanks! -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho(a)gmail.com ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.

Binding mouse wheel scroll and cursor keys in screen

by Suvayu Ali

Hi, I want to bind mouse wheel scroll and cursor keys with modifier keys in screen but I am not sure what key code or termcap capability to use. This is what I have tried so far with no luck. For mouse wheel scroll: bindkey -k SF copy bindkey -k SR copy bindkey -k sf copy bindkey -k sr copy bindkey -k cs copy bindkey -k kF copy bindkey -k kR copy The following works for now: bindkey -k k8 copy (for Fn 8) Cursor keys: + Here I expect to switch window with C-o <left/right> bind \033[C next bind \033[D prev + Here I expect to switch window with C-<left/right> bindkey -d ^[[1;5D prev bindkey -d ^[[1;5C next + This one was just to see if binding arrow keys work. I expected just <left/right> to switch windows. bindkey -d ^[[D prev bindkey -d ^[[C next This works however: bindkey -k kr next bindkey -k kl prev What am I missing here? Thanks for any pointers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Modifying nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf ?

by Bruno Wolff III

My short term goal is to set up resolv.conf the way I want without disabling network manager. I set up a config file for dhclient, but it turns out that NetworkManager runs dhclient with the configfile set to one it generates insteqad of the normal one used by dhclient. For the first wireless interface the file is named /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf . Is there a way to control what is in that file using NetworkManager configuration?

Re: automount in fedora 17 SOLVED

by paul van der meij

The problem was that the firewall on my FC14 fileserver had port 111 (sunrpc) blocked. The mount on my FC17 client does not use sunrpc, but the automount does. After allowing port 111 everything worked fine, with everything default in the autofs control files, so no extra nfs parameters. paul 2012/7/11 paul van der meij <phjvdmeij(a)gmail.com> > That was not entirely correct: in the messages file it says: > get_nfs_info: host pc4 cost 311 weight 0 > mount(nfs): no hosts available > > I googled and found a reference to bugzilla #737541, but I don't > understand the "resolved' .. > Paul > > > 2012/7/11 paul van der meij <phjvdmeij(a)gmail.com> > >> I started the automount with the -d option, and saw that the error was in >> get_nfs_info. >> The host it self is reachable and a manual mount works, so it has >> probably to do with nfs4 >> I will continue to investigate. >> >> Paul >> >> >> 2012/7/11 Louis Lagendijk <louis(a)lagendijk.xs4all.nl> >> >>> On Tue, 2012-07-10 at 22:52 +0200, paul van der meij wrote: >>> > thanks for reaction, but noI already tried that, but it has something >>> > to do with changes in the autofs control files >>> > since FC14, but I have not figured it out yet >>> > >>> Please read the man-pages for systemd.automount >>> and systemd.mount.

Unable To Update.....

by EGO-II.1

I'm currently finding it difficult to upgrade my Fedora 16 laptop. I have tried being selective and choosing just one or two of the updates in the he updates list, hoping that after they went through I'd be able to do the rest but to no avail. I would like to submit a photo of the actual updates, but I think I remember reading that it's not allowed on this mailing list. SO I have just copied the names of the updates, and the error message I get when it fails. Hopefully someone can help me out with this!? Name Of Updates: "The Linux Kernel": kernel-3.4.6-1.fc16 (32-bit) "Development package for building kernel modules to match the kernel": kernel-devel-3.4.6-1.fc16 (32-bit) "Header files for the Linux kernel for use by glibc": kernel-headers-3.4.6-1.fc16 (32-bit) "Assortment of tools for the Linux kernel": kernel-tools-3.4.6-1.fc16 (32-bit) List of Errors upon failure to upgrade: > ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve: > kernel-uname-r = 2.6.40-4.fc15.i686 is needed by > kmod-wl-2.6.40-4.fc15.i686-5.100.82.112-1.fc15.1.i686 > kernel-uname-r = 2.6.43.5-2.fc15.i686 is needed by > kmod-wl-2.6.43.5-2.fc15.i686-5.100.82.112-1.fc15.19.i686 > kernel-uname-r = 2.6.43.8-1.fc15.i686 is needed by > kmod-wl-2.6.43.8-1.fc15.i686-5.100.82.112-2.fc15.i686 > Please report this error at > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&...
