KDE 4 with dual-head
by Ian Pilcher
Is anyone using KDE 4 with a dual-head setup? From my brief testing, it
seems almost unusable. In particular, the second screen ends up with a
solid gray background that doesn't even respond to mouse clicks.
Is this one of the many pieces of basic functionality that has been
sacrificed for the KDE developers' "grand vision"?

Just adding a "me-too" here, like mike I assumed it was something on my end (didn't bother investigating).
Jim could you please send over the bz number so that we may all pitch in with information ?
thanks,

Where is libflashsupport.i386?
by Vivek J. Patankar
Fedora 10 release notes say "Users of Fedora x86_64 must install the
nspluginwrapper.i386 package to enable the 32-bit Adobe Flash Player
plug-in in Firefox, and the libflashsupport.i386 package to enable sound
from the plugin."
But where is libflashsupport.i386? Yum couldn't find it. I need it as
there is no sound from
flash animations. I've for nspluginwrapper for
both i386 and x86_64 installed. Also, I was under the impression that
libflashsupport was not required any more.

xmonad on F10
by lostson
Hello all
I am trying to build xmonad on F10 but keep getting this error
Configuring xmonad-0.8...
Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing:
X11 >=1.4.1
I do have X11 and the development stuff installed though
rpm -q libX11
libX11-1.1.4-5.fc10.x86_64
libX11-1.1.4-5.fc10.i386
This is a 64 bit machine but why cant the configure script find the
appropriate libs it needs ?

[FC 10] netbeans and keyboard problems
by public＠boris-glawe.de
Hi,
since the upgrade to FC10 I cannot type the letters '{', '[', ']', '}',
etc anymore in the netbeans editor. All letters that are type with the
Alt-Gr key on the german keyboard layout are affected. The problem
exists only in netbean's editor. All other applications work as expected.
Do you have a hint?
Thanks and greets

How do I totally remove all Eclipse and Java from my installation ?
by linux guy
I have been trying to install Eclipse on my computer for 2 days, on and
off. It worked once, after some fiddling, but its messed up now.
How do I totally remove all Eclipse and Java elements from my computer
so that I can start fresh. (And don't tell me to reinstall !)
For Eclipse, I have been removing all the eclipse packages with yum and
then removing /usr/lib/eclipse and ~/.eclipse. Is this enough ?
What do I do for the Java components ?
Thanks

How to make custom alias in ~.bash_profile work on F10 86_64
by Yunus
Hi Users of Fedora
I added below line to last line fo my ~.bash_profile
alias l='ls -la'
I logout and login again then try issuing:
$ l
on command prompt but had no effect. Is there other way to make my custom
alias (put in ~.bash_profile) work?
It has no problem if I make an alias in gnome-terminal :
$ alias l='ls -la'
$ l
Issuing 'l' command on command prompt will produce the desired result.
Thank you

F10: too many Network headaches
by Andre Costa
Hi,
I just installed F10 on my system (replacing -- not upgrading -- a previous
F9 installation). In general, installation went by just fine. However,
setting up my network has been unbelievably hard.
I have a DI-624 router, and I am using static IP (I turned its DHCP server
off because it was rebooting when my wife's MacBook Pro connected). This
setup has worked flawlessly with F9 and even F8.
First weird symptom: NetworkManager refuses to allow me to edit settings for
eth0. It doesn't ask me for any kind of authentication and simply shows all
fields disabled. I don't know why it started doing this, because right after
I booted for the first time I was able to edit it. Later on I disabled
SELinux, don't know if this is related somehow. This is specially annoying
because I can't configure DNS servers this way, and must always edit
/etc/resolv.conf manually.
Second weird symptom: System > Administration > Network Device Control
didn't show any interfaces I could manage (maybe this is the correct
behavior when NetworkManger is in charge, I don't know...)
So, I turned NM off and switched back to plain system-config-network (which
I'd rather not do, since I need to use NetworkManager every now and then to
manage a GSM modem).
To my surprise, even though I try to set my subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, it
was setting it to my IP address (192.168.0.100), or sometimes to my gateway
address (192.168.0.1). I had to manually go through the files at
/etc/sysconfig/network/ to fix this. Also, s-c-n allowed me to create a copy
of eth0 profile, but didn't allow me to remove it (had to do it manually as
well).
Right now everything is working just fine I guess, but if I reenable NM it
screws things up again.
AFAICS I'm probably experiencing many bugs at once (NM and s-c-n). Anyone
experienced anything like this? Should I start filing bug reports?
Regards,
Andre

F10 - out of date mirrors?
by Bill Davidsen
I keep getting this warning when trying to check updates. Multiple times
over several days, so I assume I hit assorted mirrors from time to time.
Oops, wraps, hope this list will take a text attach.
