Alpine will not show attachments
by Tom Diehl
Hi,
I am running alpine-2.00-1.fc10.x86_64 on an F10 box. If I get a message with
an html or file attachment and I try to open it, I get an error that
"Firefox can't find the file at /tmp/img--46112.htm" The correct program opens
up but I always get the can't find file errors. If the message contains a URL
then it comes up and displays properly.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem?
Regards,

Upgrading : give me strength ...
by Beartooth
I've tried all the tricks on this list a/o the troubleshooting
site, over and over. I finally gave up : downloaded and burned a DVD --
and *still* hit the catch-22 error, with too little space in mnt/sysimage/
boot.
Now what?
Can I simply delete all of /boot, or everything in it? All of
grub.conf? Or what? It's going to be a royal pain if I have to burn all
my data to media, and then sneakermail that back onto each machine,
instead of just upgrading f11 ....

Vinagre???
by Antonio M
I have two boxes, both have UltraVNC and Vinagre (Remote desktop
viewer), exactly the same packages both in F11 fully updated
When I connect from A to B both Vinagre and UltraVNC work, but when I
connect from Ato B UltraVNC works fine but in Vinagre I see the list
of remote desktops, but when I try to connect I get the message
Connection closed: The connection to host B has been closed.
Any idea??
Tnx

assertion in NetworkManager
by Philipp Böhm
Hello @all,
after upgrading to Fedora 12 I get some problems with NetworkManager for

Fedora 11 GDM - unwanted list of all local users and impossible to customize?
by jaivuk
Hello guys,
I did not use gdm for some time and now I'm not happy how it looks in Fedora
11.
First of all - the list of local users is unacceptable from security
reasons. Even if it supports such "an " option - how it can be the default
one?!
Second problem I have is shutdown button (and possibly restart as well) -
when you click on shutdown button by mistake, system will shut - there is no
confirmation dialog.
I also tried to find some ways how to customize gdm in Fedora 11 but I did
not find any usable guide.
Can anybody please advise me how can I have prompt asking for username only
(showing last logged user at maximum) and not displaying the list of all
local users?
Also can I somehow add confirmation or remove shutdown restart buttons from
gdm screen?
Or can you please advise any alternative to gdm?
Thank you very much,
Jan

SMS server/gateway
by Jamie Bohr
I am looking for a SMS server software for RHEL.
The phones we use can receive email but it does not always get to the phone
in a timely manner and sometimes I get "connected refused" when trying to
send messages via email. I've looked at smstools and Googled around but
would like the forums opinion on what they have used and experiences.
Thank you for your time,

Local cache / 'repo' of updates and added RPM's
by JayLinux
I had to re-install Fedora 10 on a home desktop PC. In regard to this:
Is it possible to have a local cache/ "repository" of all
1) Updates (Critical, Security, Bug-fixes), and
2) Additional installed rpm's (that were installed through PackageKit), e.g.
Opera, Adobe Reader, etc.
so that I do not have to download all those again (800 MB + D/L)
This would be similar to the 'aptonCD' package in Ubuntu (
http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/)
APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one
> or more CDs or DVDs (you choose the type of media) with all of the packages
> you've downloaded via APT-GET or APTITUDE, creating a removable repository
> that you can use on other computers.
> APTonCD will also allow you to automatically create media with all of your
> .deb packages located in one specific repository, so that you can install
> them into your computers without the need for an internet connection.
Thanks,
Jay

changing GDM background image on F12
by Fred Smith
Hi!
I've looked thru the forums and done some googling but I don't see an
answer THAT WORKS for this question:
How to change the default GDM background/wallpaper to some other image?
I've tried all the things listed in the forums and none of them works,
including (but not limited to) copying the image I want into
/usr/share/backgrounds/images then running this command:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --set --type string "/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename" "/usr/share/backgrounds/images/Fistmaster.FullHD.0190.jpg"
having done that either log off or reboot and voila! no change at all! :(
Thanks in advance.
