FDISK problems
by potat0
OS= Fedora 10
I have a secondary 250GB disk of which I created a 50G partition on to try and set-up an LFS system. I finished with the LFS system and now I want to destroy the partition and reclaim all of the 250GB. So i simply ran fdisk /dev/sdb and deleted the 2 Linux partitions ( one 83 and one swap). I then created a new partition as primary partition #1. fdisk appears to see the entire disk....I'm able to start at cylinder 1 and end at 30401 which is 250GB, however when i mount the partition it's shows as only 50G.....What the hell is going on here???

Virtual Box
by Martín Marqués
I'm trying to do some virtualization testing and I wanted to see
Virtual Box that everybody is talking alot about. The thing is that I
can't find the virtualbox packages in the fedora repository. Does it
have some strange name?
And BTW, is there any good HowTo to get started with Virtual Box?

Web of Trust (a revolution)
by "Stanisław T. Findeisen"
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Friends,
Inspired by the recent problems with checksums for various installation
files of Fedora 10, may I be allowed to say, that I think that broader
adoption of OpenPGP standard (gpg) among Fedora (and Free Software)
developers and users could be a desirable and advertising-worth goal.
It could be a Strategy.
Let me explain.
(1) Web of trust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust) is in the
spirit of Free Software, especially of that developed in the "bazaar"
model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar). By
making the concept of web of trust familiar to people I believe we also
make the concept of Free Software more familiar to them.
(2) Web of trust is also much more human than X.509. Since it is more
human to trust someone because he is trusted by your friend, than to
trust someone because a BigCompany issued a certificate for him.
It is also easier to use, more flexible and much more fun!
(3) That would increase safety.
Friends I think we should act now, I think we should propagate Web of
Trust to people before all those BigCompanies sell them X.509s!
Let's take the pole position this time! With patents we have failed in a
number countries, but this battle we can win!
I think that these days we should advertise GnuPG
(http://www.gnupg.org/) and Web of Trust concept not less than the sole
concept of Free Software. (By the way GnuPG is both free software and GNU.)
I think we should act NOW!!
*** You might want to talk to 5 of your friends who are not using
OpenPGP yet. You might want to discuss this topic in other free software
communities that you are a member of. ***

Fresh install Fedora 10 X86_64 problems
by Jim
Freash install of Fedora 10 X86_64 / KDE4
I kept /home directories intact with users from Fedora 8 install.
I use the exact names and passwords from old Fedora 8 install.
I'm getting error message when I try to log into All, Users home
directories;
"Could not start Kstartupconfig4, Check your install:"
I can log into 'root' without any problems.

Beta CHECKSUM keyID 0xD22E77F2.
by Bram_Gro
Hi,
I would like to be able to verify a CHECKSUM file, of the new beta
releases before the actual SHA-256 comparison, but I'm unable to do so
this time, because the public key with keyID: 0xD22E77F2 is nowhere to
be found on any of the public keyservers.
Any idea on where to find this particular key?
Bram.

Dolphin - single-/double-click
by Ian Pilcher
I'm trying to get used to KDE 4.2.1 on Fedora 10. One thing that's
driving me nuts is Dolphin's penchant for opening files/folders with a
single click. I can't find a configuration setting for this anywhere.
Help! Thanks!

Intel HD Audio, sound too quiet
by David Hláčik
Hello,
I have following audio device in my notebook :
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 03)
I am user of Fedora 10 x86_64 , with latest updates as well.
My current experience is, that when audio volume on maximum (in Volume
Control , Master, PCM and Front) sound is much more quiet than in
Windows Vista on same notebook.
Where should I look for solution?
Thanks in advance!
