Copy-pasting without transferring format
by Oliver Ruebenacker
Hello,
I would like to be able to copy-paste text without transferring the
format. I'm using F19 with KDE.
Currently, when I copy-paste (between Firefox, LibreOffice, etc),
formatting like font, font size and font attributes get also copied and
pasted. But I am looking for a way to copy-paste such that the format of
the original text is discarded and instead the format of the target
document is used, as if I had typed the text on the keyboard.
(My wife uses the following trick on Windows: copy-paste text into
URL-field of the browser, then copy-paste from URL-field to destination).
Thanks!
Best,
Oliver

SSH problem with kernel 3.10.9-200
by SternData
Is it just me or is anyone else seeing this?
Description of problem:
Using SSH to access files on remote system (but local to my LAN). Using
arrow key to scroll through files or up/down in bash_history or left or
right in current command.
Works fine with 3.10.7-200.
When using kernel 3.10.9-200, cursor stops moving and characters are
either not being transmitted or are not echoing back. Have to wait for
3-5 seconds to be able to continue typing.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.10.9-200
How reproducible:
SSH to another system. vi into a file. Press down-arrow and hold it.
Response will stop after 10-15 lines.
Fedora 19 64 bit fully up-to-date as of 2013-08-31

Yum: a suggestion
by Timothy Murphy
Yum only tells me the sites it has _failed_ to download from.
Wouldn't it be nice if it also told us which sites _succeed_?
I'd like to know who to be grateful to.

Trouble setting up kickstart
by Michael Larsen
I'm trying to set up a kickstart server on my home network. I can't get
network booting working. DHCPD and tftp are working, but the tftp request
on the client is timing out with:
PXE-E32 TFTP open timeout
I've googled the heck out of this issue and can't find a fix. I was hoping
someone here could help me out.
My dhcpd.conf file:
#
# DHCP Server Configuration file.
# see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.example
# see dhcpd.conf(5) man page
#
option space pxelinux;
option pxelinux.magic code 208 = string;
option pxelinux.configfile code 209 = text;
option pxelinux.pathprefix code 210 = text;
option pxelinux.reboottime code 211 = unsigned integer 32;

allow bootp;

But no boot.
During my research I saw a post somewhere that talked about tftp having
issues with some RealTek network cards. The kickstart server is running a
controller with the RTL8101E/RTL8102E chipset. The poster said he fixed his
problem by setting the tftp block size explicitly to 512, but I've been
unable to determine how to do so.
Are there any obvious errors in my configuration? If not, can anyone advise
how to set the tftp block size? Thanks in advance.

grep by paragraph
by Timothy Murphy
Is there an option for grep, or some similar program,
that will print out a whole paragraph -
defined as the section between two blank lines -
containing a given word or phrase?
Such as the above 4 lines.
If not, can anyone suggest a simple script that will do this?

issue with large inodes numbers in at least gnucash and pan (32-bit versions).
by Roger Heflin
I have recently created a new 6tb XFS filesystem.
After this gnucash, pan and a number of other utilities (on one of the
32-bit machines) start failing to work and complaining about value too
large for defined data type.
I have found someone else that indicated this ment that the tools
needed to be complied with this flag:
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
This samba alleged bug was from the same issue.
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7707
Currently these are the only 2 applications I have so far found...this
is on a fedora 19 NFS mounted 32-bit machine.
I suspect that I may find a few more applications that have the same
issue, I have a workaround of using the application on a full 64-bit
machine that does not appear to have this issue (I am assuming that
full 64bit uses 64bit for file offset by default), but whoever is
running the compile streams for the 32-bit rpms may need to start
setting this flag.
Most of the default tools (cp, mv and others) appear to be working
right, it is just a few things that are acting up.

ooolatex (openoffice)
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I am not sure that it is the right list to post this, but please let me know.
Under openoffice (fedora 19). when I try to create an equation (by using ooolatex [4.1.1.2]),
I get an error:
BASIC runtime error.
Property or method not found: getDocumentInfo.
In the macro (OOolatexTools):
' Function to manipulate information from "Doc Properties".
' There is two actions :
' "Get" : return the preamble or the configuration as string
' "Delete" : return the "doc info" without preamble or configuration
Function DocInfo( sAction as String, sWhat as String) as String
DocInfo = ""
Is DocInfo not set properly?
Thank for your help.
