I'm pretty confident that if you do that, you will be able to write to it under Linux - it's still HFS+, just without journalling. You can re-enable journalling under OS X afterwards if you want to.

Yes, that's with lossy compression on top of wavelets, as opposed to discrete cosine transformations, according to Wikipedia. However the website (and BBC site) say that it can employ lossless compression: "Dirac has the capability of compressing high resolution files for production, compression for broadcast content, and compression for web 2.0 applications. Compression can be either lossless or visually lossless." "http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/projects/dirac/uses.shtml"; When I played with it a while back, I'm pretty sure there was an option for lossless. -c -- 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

Has anyone else experienced these problems with this hardware (or similar) and if so, do they have a remedy? Or do I just have to wait for a new Fedora release?

Best way to get minimal system
Hi all, what's the best way to get a minimal Fedora system? I assume it's by installing via the DVD and un-ticking package groups, leaving just the base apps, but perhaps more seasoned Fedora users have a better suggestion? The other day I installed F12 on a PPC machine with the network installer and it only installed a base system (didn't even give me the option for a graphical environment) which was neat. Trying to replicate this on a x86 install however has not been successful. Ubuntu provides an "Install a command-line system" mode on the alternate installation media. Does Fedora have something similar? I didn't see any Anaconda options to do it.. Which brings me to another point, installing KDE instead of GNOME via the DVD. When you un-tick GNOME and tick KDE, it still leaves all of the default GNOME applications, which is rather annoying (understandable though). openSUSE for example, bundles everything with that one radio button, so un-ticking "GNOME" will not install anything GNOME related (unless a direct dependency of something else you install, of course). Is there a similar option in Fedora? Or should one use the KDE Live CD or manually configure each package? Thanks.

Complete stab in the dark :-) Doing a fsck is a good idea - I was assuming that the partition was being formatted each time Fedora was re-installed, but if he uses a separate partition for /home, then that could well be it. My understanding is that he does fresh installs and KDE works correctly the first time, but then dies after the first reboot. That doesn't make sense, so seems like his KDE configs aren't being written properly.

Saving a page, for example, brings up the usual KDE file manager. -c -- 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

Maybe so, but there are some major issues there. Firstly, I doubt that Firefox will stop innovating and not be just playing catch up (please!). More importantly is that Chromium doesn't (and won't any time soon) ship with Fedora "http://spot.livejournal.com/312320.html"; Finally, I think it would be remiss of Fedora to ship Chrome as a default browser, given privacy concerns. > > I'd focus your energies there were I you ... I don't quite trust Google enough, but I do think that the browser holds a lot of promise. Google also has the brand name to take massive market share, so it will be interesting. In the mean time, we need something which works well enough on KDE, and the openSUSE port does that right now.

I've used it under openSUSE on my Mum's machine and I have to say that it's most pleasant to use. All of the menus and dialogs, settings, etc use KDE components, it's very nice. A decent, well integrated Qt browser is still a major missing component of KDE and doesn't appear to be coming any time soon.

I thought that both LVM technology and its benefits were widely understood by now. It has a lot of value even in a single-disk situation: you can shuffle space between filesystems, migrate data to a new disk, add space from a new disk to an existing filesystem, and create a copy-on-write snapshot of a filesystem -- and do most of that while the system is running. It's saved my bacon more times than I want to admit. Rather than remove LVM from the default installation, perhaps we need to do a better job of explaining what it does and how to use it effectively. -Chris -- 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

According to Mailman, that is the "Description" field (described as a "Terse phrase identifying the list"). The actual *name* of the list is "fedora-list". The name and description appear side-by-side at https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo This change followed a discussion about list quality (among other things, no one was registered as list-owner at the time, and the purpose/scope of the list was not clearly defined). We also wanted a lightweight way to remind people that messages on the lists didn't necessarily convey the official position of the Project, without doing something stupid like attaching boilerplate text to the end of each message.

Scan for and activate all lvm volumes: su -c "vgscan && vgchange -ay" Then have a look at what volumes you have. The first VolGroup should be your internal drive.

When you delete something it's not zeroed out, so unless you write over that part of the disk again the data should be recoverable. Failing that, if you have physical access to the box then it shouldn't be too hard to log in locally and copy over the new keys.

I take it one step beyond that. During my nightly backups, I have it create the hash for all my tarballs. Pretty simple to do. As an example: if you have backup /home/you, /etc and /root to tarballs: home.you.tar.gz etc.tar.gz root.tar.gz Doing something like md5sum *.gz > checksum.md5 will create and store the hash info in the file, checksum.md5 Then to verify, md5sum -c checksum.md5 If all goes well, you'll see something like: home.you.tar.gz OK etc.tar.gz OK root.tar.gz OK Of course, you probably knew all this anyways. -- Best regards, Chris “It is always better to have no ideas than false ones; to believe nothing, than to believe what is wrong.” -- Thomas Jefferson -- 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

Script for configuring ClamAV server
Hi all, I'm not sure if something like this already exists or if there's a sanctioned way to do it, but I've written a script to configure instances of clamav-server on Fedora 12. AFAIK the current process is manual, with configuration files (and the instructions on what to do) sitting under /usr/share/doc/clamav-server-[version]/. I've just taken those and written a script to automate it. The script can create or remove an instance of clamd for a specific user on a specific port (if specified, else it defaults to user "clamav" on port "3310") and will automatically install required packages if necessary. Anyway in case of use to anyone else, it's available on github: "http://github.com/csmart/naa/blob/master/configure-clamd.sh"; If you have any comments, please feel free to let me know. An entry about it is on my blog is here: "http://blog.christophersmart.com/2009/12/17/script-for-configuring-clamav-server-on-fedora/"; Cheers, Chris -- 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

Gnokii is a cell phone tool that can send and receive SMS, if your cell interface presents a serial port to Linux (my phone for example presents two).

Assuming that the first class is an introduction of Linux usage (as opposed to programming tools/concepts, internals/architecture etc), I think there should at least be some discussion of the similarities and differences of Linux as related to other OS'es the students will be familiar with i.e. OS X and Windows.

Change the default line in /etc/grub.conf to automate that." This seems to be the appropriate way for me to have handled it. Putting on another distro worked for me at the time. My home dir and data are on another sata drive so using a previously cloned image from Clonezilla got me up and running in under 10 mins when I needed to get some things done.

Latest Kernel causes reboot hell
After running 12 for some weeks now, I allowed yum to install the newest kernel (well, as of Friday of course). all seemed to go just fine until I rebooted. All the machine will do is continue to reboot itself over and over again. I reinstalled and applied only updates other then 3 that were particular to the new kernel and all went well there. Rebooted just fine. I thought - why not try the remaining 3 and lets see if for some reason the others might be causing this effect. That didn't seem to help - again, after allowing yum to install the new kernel, it sent the machine into reboot hell. The box is only a few years (3) old, it's a Sony Vaio desktop. It's running sata, there is a /boot part of some 200 meg (only 23% full) and the rest of the 400 gig drive is LVM Currently, I tossed on Ubuntu just so I can get some work done however, would really prefer to be back running F12. Any help/ideas would be great.
