I can send you a pdplot input if you want to see what I'm up against. I got it to work, and the results are somewhat more usable that gnuplot in some ways, but less in other ways. Some first impressions: 1. The Time axis should have an option for time(2) format, converting to day/hours/sec etc. Currently, it shows the ten digit values in scientific format, which overlap. 2. It doesn't label the individual graphs, so you can't tell which graph is which. 3. The zooming is different than everyone else - should be click-drag rectangle (with outline), release to zoom. The second point should be allowed to be just outside the plot so you can reliably grab the zero axis. 4. Dude, scrollbars :-) 5. The git clone command fails. 6. The "homepage" link opens the homepage within a frame, need to re-target the top window. 7. If it had the ability to enable/disable the various graphs through the GUI, it'd be nearly prefect for me, caveat the above.

It seems pretty straightforwward, but so did it with akmod and it didn't work, maybe because I have a newer video card than most people who suggested using akmod. And maybe that's the problem the people at RPMfusion are dealing with: certain cards might not play nice with the new kernel. (For sure, by this time, they should have issued a communiqué. This really is a piss off!) I have no idea but, you know, when you're not an experienced user, any little detail that you didn't get right, is apt to send you into a nightmare that you feel you'll never get out of. That's why people like me prefer the most standard solutions that let people with more knowledge deal with the problems. I did save your file, though. If RPMfusion stops providing kmod, I'll certainly give it a try before reverting to Nouveau. Maybe other people here will agree with you that DKMS is more convenient than akmod, give it a try and ask RPMfusion to change its way of doing things. Certainly, I must thank you for merely bringing to my attention the existence of DKMS. I'm eager to see the comments you will receive from more learned people. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

You might try the pdplot program at http://www.omnisterra.com/walker/linux/pdplot/intro.htm It takes ascii datafiles and plots them to X11, postscript or PNG. The file format is x,y ascii data interspersed with commands like: title my plot xscale 1 time yscale 1 voltage 0 0 1 1 3 3 nextygraph yscale 1 current 0 8 2 2 3 4 nextygraph yscale 1 pressure 0 -1 3 3.99 the pdplot program is a daemon associated with a persistant plot window. You communicate with the daemon by sending data to it with "pd". For instance, to plot the above file you'd save it as "myplot" and do one of the following: pd myplot cat myplot | pd If you want to add new data to an already existing plot you cat do it with "cat newdata | pd -n". The general style and format works extremely well with awk(1) or perl(1) for massaging ascii data files. It's got a few rough edges because it is a brand new program, but I promise to jump on any bug reports if you want to give it a try. > > Ideally, I'd like something I can interact with - enable/disable > > channels, highlight channels, change the time range, etc. The data > > comes from processed log files, so either file or API input is OK. Sounds like a good use for Tcl/Tk. Write a front end to pd() with lots of options. Each time you make a change, Tk runs through the data a replots it with the desired format. kind regards, -- Rick Walker -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

You'd have to do something on purpose to lock root (uid=0) out of the system. I'll try to share my limited understanding of PAM. "auth" merely establishes the user identity -is he who he claims to be? The line "auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet" is not to permit login, but rather to establish a user's identity; to be precise, a user whose id is not that of a system account. based on the line "authrequired pam_deny.so" The users whose IDs are listed in this block can be denied accesss (pam_deny.so) if their identity is not properly confirmed. Later, these lines "account sufficientpam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account required pam_permit.so" translate into "are you root or a system account? no problem! go right ahead!"; otherwise, some checks will run to further qualify the incoming user. BTW, if a pam file is misconfigured one could end up being locked out of the system. PAM can be a pain. For further understanding read some man pages. man pam_succeed_if man pam_permit man pam_deny HTH, ~af -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

The default is 64k and I have read in a performance report that a 512k size may be more desirable for Linux systems. Thanks for any replies. Well.. if you do large sequential reads/writes then big stripe size will help, but if you do small random-io then large stripe size like that will be really bad. It really depends on your workload. I was about to say much the same thing in closing, but actually was going to point you to this article which has different advice to Pasi's (and different to how I would expect). http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/perf/raid/concepts/perfStripe-c.html It actually says that a large stripe size might be better for random transactions on lots of small files (as I would expect from compiling code), because it means you can read a whole small file from each disk in the array - so in your case you'd be able to read 6 files at once (1 from each stripe (3) multiplied by 2 (for the mirrored copies)). If you had a small stripe size, you'd increase the chance that your small file would be split across multiple disks - so you might require more than one disk per file and you wouldn't get 6 concurrent accesses - in your case it might involve up to three drives. A small number of requests for large files might benefit from small stripe sizes, because it would increase the chance that reading your large file involved reads from multiple disks - so you'd get higher throughput. Which is fine for read-only use, while it may hurt your write. Also note that many controllers use the term "raid-10" when they really mean "raid 1+0" which isn't the same at all as Linux software raid-10. As always, "large" and "small" file sizes are subjective terms and there is no substitute for benchmarking your own particular case - and this is a hotly contested subject among Storage gurus!

My take is that the ls command is already so heavily loaded with options that you're better off rolling your own. For example, let's beuild two new commands. lsd and lsD. lsd will only list directories and lsD will only list nondirectories. lsD () { typeset args1="$1" typeset args2="$2" ls -la $args1 | awk '!/^d/ {print $9}' | xargs ls $args2 } Now you can try things like lsd '-d x*' -l and lsd is left as an exercise for the student. ;-) -- Time flies like the wind.

Hello guys, I installed mythtv-0.21 from atrpms and I have DVB-T card WinTV Nova-T USB2 and motherboard Jetway J7F2WE2G (CPU is VIA C7 2Ghz). My problem is when I try to watch live tv, the picture is not smooth, it is looks like slow motion. However when I tried to watch it in Kaffeine it was OK. Also when watchiing Mythtv, CPU is loaded at about 50% so I believe it has some spare power. Did anybody experience similar problem with mythtv? Also my chipset is supposed to support mpeg-2 decompression - does anybody know how can I check hardware decompression is used when playing TV? (I know my WinTV card does not support hardware compression so this has to be done by CPU).

Pam configuration with ldap root user

Perhaps. But in the end, it is not something I NEED now. But when I read the original post I thought back to my first days using Linux. It was a chore figuring out what the color code for files etc. meant, or what the identifying symbols where for etc. when all I wanted was to see if my disappearing file was in which directory. It was, to say the least, unnecessarily frustrating at the time. A clean uncomplicated list of files would have been useful back then. I would think something like the following would be useful: ]$ ls -z would show a list of just the files in the current directory similar to the way 'ls' shows an unadorned list of directory contents. ('-z' is not a good mnemonic choice for "files" but seems to be available as an option/flag.) -z should have the property of being able to combine with other ls options eg ]$ ls -za -- to show dot files as well, or, ]$ ls -zl -- to show long list format of just files, or, ]$ ls -zlA /some/other/directory's/files/ -- to show long list format of all files in a directory other than the current directory. Without hacking ls -A, but by writing "alias lsf='ls -hl | grep ^-'" to bashrc, lsf works well enough for the current directory. I still think an addition to the options available in 'ls' would be helpful. I am just wondering if this has been requested before or if this is a request for enhancement that would not be entertained by the maintainers of coreutils. -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Mike, I just ran a short test, and thunderbird shuts down cleanly for me (F11.x86_64). And, yes, I am up-to-date with thunderbird (3.0b3) and running both lightning and enigmail (which were both just re-released to work with 3.0b3).

Problems with Dual Display with Radeon Mobility 7500
I'm trying to set up a spanning desktop on my Dell Latitude C640 laptop, which has an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 graphics chipset and a Dell 1504FP LCD monitor in analog (VGA) mode. I use Gnome on Fedora 10. I can (sometimes) get the spanning desktop to work using System/Preferences/Hardware/Screen Resolution from the Gnome menu with the laptop configured to be on the left, and the external display configured to be on the right. However, this is actually the opposite of my physical setup at my desk. Every time that I try to switch the displays to their actual layout, the desktop still spans, but the displays are mirrored, which is not only useless, but can also cause problems, especially when sometimes it results in the display without the top and bottom bars missing (!). Does anybody know how I can get this work properly with the laptop on the right and the external monitor on the left?

Re: GNOME startup, -before- desktop
I don't think Fedora comes with auto-fs built in, does it? One feature I essentially need is that all my users are in a mount-group, so they can all unmount the drive. Whenever a user logs in, I need the drive to be automatically unmounted and then -remounted- as that user. Doing a simple script that does "umount" followed by "mount" accomplishes this nicely. I just need to make the script run before Nautilus so it doesn't freak out if the XDG Desktop directory changes. I'm not sure auto-fs can be set to "automatically umount the partition if a different user is logging in and then remount it as that user." Similar to gnome-automount, I think it just automatically mounts the partition once, and leaves it mounted under the original user that mounted it even across sessions. That won't work. Key problem is that a lot of GNOME programs won't work with a FAT32 partition unless it is mounted under the user's name (ex., Trash functionality, temporary backup files in Text Editor, etc) since FAT32 doesn't have standard Unix permissions, so GNOME's shortcut is to only allow functionality for the user who mounted it (not even the group, but the specific user). That's great for a personal flash drive, but not for a shared system partition that holds documents or temp files. I want that to work automatically across different accounts on my machine, before startup, without any user action. So automatically remounting the FAT32 partition under the current user seems like a good idea.

It is then back to being disabled. That sounds more like a symptom of the battery on the motherboard being too weak to keep the settings if power is removed for a while. You might try replacing it and see if the setting sticks then. (And why on earth do all BIOSes always want to disable this by default?

(It was the first question I asked on the users mailing list.) Now that I am familiar with 'find' and 'grep' etc. I no longer worry about it. However, 'ls' is probably the first commandline command a beginner learns. It seems illogical, that 'ls' wouldn't have a flag that just shows files when it has a flag for directories. It can cost newbies hours looking for a solution that isn't there.

[OT] Awardbios virtualisation setting
Hello, I have been playing with KVM virtualisation under F11, and it has all worked fine. However, I am having a lot of trouble getting the 'Virtualisation' setting to 'stick' in the BIOS. It seems that by default it is disabled. If I enable it and then save the setting, the PC goes through a reboot, but not power-off, and the setting is disabled again. IF I enable the setting, save it, and then power off the PC, and then power-on/reboot, it seems to work fine (virtualisation is enabled) until the next time I reboot the PC. It is then back to being disabled. Does anyone know how to make the virtualisation setting permanently 'enabled'? It is an abit motherboard (AN-M2; socket AM2), and an AMD Athlon 64-bit X2 (6400 I think; the PC is at home and I'm at work at the moment). The BIOS is phoenix awardbios version 6.01 (again I think). I have checked with the abit web site, and I have the latest BIOS version for this motherboard.

SMB client issue on F11
I've just done an install of F11 (from DVD) on my eeepc 901. when I click PLACES | NETWORK I get the nautilus file browser but it doesn't find any of the samba shares on my LAN. but if I boot up the live CD of F11, and do the same thing, it does.

AFAIK CentOS is based on RHEL and I haven't seen any news of the latter being able to do this. I also see nothing about it on the CentOS website, where I would expect such a major feature to be displayed prominently. Note that ksplice supports CentOS.

bad PNGs, thunderbird and firefox
thunderbird-3.0-2.6.b3.fc11.i586 firefox-3.5.2-2.fc11.i586 Suddenly, most of the icons in thunderbird and *some* images in ff are pretty messed up. They appear to be indexed to just 3 colours. Sometimes, it's predominantly neon green, other times purple or black. In TB, it's the ones that are highlighted, except for folders, which look fine. Any icon that's greyed out also appears normal. Also, the icons in the "write" window i'm typing now in are ok. In FF, there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason, save for the fact they're all PNGs. I thought that it was background images only, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Nor are all PNGs screwed up. I recently installed an LCD display and so modified my xorg.conf. But this problem only just appeared so i doubt it's related. Is anyone else seeing something similar (it's *really* hard to miss). Otherwise, can anyone think of what I can check?
