Gnome3 a discussion about submiting some Requests for Enhancement.
Hi; I have posted similar comments on the Gnome user's list, but since I am looking to share opinions (the more the merrier) and not looking for help, I don't think I am breaking any kind of netiquette. I have been playing with Gnome3 for a day now, and once I got the full realization through my thick head that everything bounces of the 'overview', Gnome3 became quite enjoyable to use. There are some proposed enhancements that I have, that I would like to share and discuss. 1) I would like to have a right hand hot spot or screen edge so that when the mouse cursor hovers over or near the right edge I get the overview but with the full view of the workspaces on the right so that I can just click on a new/different workspace. There is a right edge hot spot within the overview already that is used to show the full workspace bar. Couldn't the same action be within a workspace to get to the overview. 2) It just strikes me that if you are working with the mouse, you should be able to do all the basics with the mouse. Similarly if you are working with the keyboard, everything should be available by keystroke. When you are using the keyboard, for example, using the 'Windows Logo' key to get to the overview, you can move up and down the workspaces bar using CTRL+ALT+up/down, but the workspace bar does not expand so that you can see the images unless you use your mouse to hover over it. Shouldn't the bar expand as soon as you make the the first CTRL+ALT +up/down move? Similarly, when using the CTRL+ALT+up/down to select a new workspace, shouldn't Enter open that new workspace? I know you can get the same effect by using the Logo key, but Enter is such an intuitive motion. 3) To make me content, at least for a short while, I would like to be able to designate which workspace applications opened in in in the startup file. For example, I do a lot of writing. When I login or re-boot, I would like several programs to start. I would like Firefox to be open in one workspace, evolution and X-chat open in another workspace, and all my writing tools -- OOo Writer, dictionary, thesaurus and calculator available in another workspace. I have fancier requests for this but they can wait. Just checking with the user's list to see if I am alone, or if I should file a request for enhancement with Gnome. -- Regards Bill Fedora 15, Gnome 3.0.2 Evo.3.0.2, Emacs 23.2.1 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Just a thought about Gnome3's window title bar.
When I see how clean a window can be, metacity, I started wondering if the widow title bar is even needed. It seems to come from the Microsoft tradition. On my screen the title bar takes up 3/8 vertically. Two windows open on the same desktop and you have lost 3/4 of real estate. Meanwhile the menu bar at most uses 4 to 5 horizontally, the rest is just wasted space.

Dual monitors on Radeon 5770 with fc15
Hi, I've just reinstalled fc15 x86_64 on an AMD Phenom with an ATI Radeon HD5770 and two 22 ViewSonic LCD monitors that I previously had fc14 successfully installed. Instead of doing an upgrade, I backed up the data and reinstalled. Fedora now can't properly detect the monitors and video card with this version. Can someone recommend an updated set of instructions for configuring this video card successfully? Do the default fedora Xorg drivers support this card, or is it necessary to use the binary ATI drivers? Running Xorg -configure does not produce a xorg.conf file. It fails with: (II) [KMS] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol, no kernel modesetting. (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such device Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

It is actually fairly easy to set up a 'live' image via PXE boot. For my desktop which is not great, it takes me about 10 minutes to roll out a change to a live image, and copy it into place on the pxe server. Upon reboot, they have the changes. We use them for maintenance and training, so they change often. Now that live images are 'writable' to the size of remaining RAM, or 4GB, which ever comes first, the user normally has about 1.5 GB to play with. It is trivial to add a 'hook' for more storage, or permanent storage. But at any time the system is rebooted, it is back to the pristine image. So equate log out to reboot and you have it. The average session length would matter. Rebooting 50 times a day would get annoying to the users. Booting in the morning every day for a new set of students is well worth the effort of this method. Only one file to maintain (the kickstart file). Booting a broken or strange or new system into rescue or live over the network is a very time saving device for administrators.

I think Samba's the culprit. Samba is set up in share mode on my mixed Win7 and Linux network. Up to some recent period, Windows boxes could see my Fedora shares and my Fedora box could get on the network and see the Windows shares - typically I use Dolphin and select Network\Samba Shares That brings up the Workgroup icon and clicking that would show the computers on the network. Now, I get a UN/PW authorization dialog as soon as I click on Workgroup, and nothing I enter works but just returns the dialog. I don't remember when it was last working, but, it's been a while since I tried to browse my Windows boxes. I've checked the firewall settings to make sure they didn't get changed and tried turning off Selinux enforcing; the machine is Fedora 15 64-bit and is fully up to date. I tried installing Smb4k and when I scan the network using its interface, it just returns a blank screen... I've looked at the system and samba logs - the only interesting I see there, in the Samba log, is messages like this: Scheduled cleanup of brl and lock database after unclean shutdownz - this happenned several times today it claims - then there follows a message saying it is running the cleanup, and that's followed by strings of messages like this Could not find child 15456 -- ignoring... I haven't hard rebooted the machine or anything like that, so I'm not sure what unclean shutdown is referring to...

It was 18mo ago that I installed fedora14 on this system, so I don't recall. The video never ran optimally, even on fc14, so I'd really like to know what the proper way to support this card is. I guess the simplest way to find out is to look at 'man 4 radeon' on your system. It should be the version corresponding version for your driver. At the start of the man page you'll see all the supported systems. I believe your chipset, if supported, should be listed something as below. JUNIPERRadeon HD 5750/5770 However note that this doesn't mean you will have full 3D support. This only guarantees 2D rendering. Its my hunch the F15 radeon version (package: xorg-x11-drv-ati) is still too old to support your chipset. If that proves to be the case, installing the proprietary drivers from RPMFusion is your only recourse. GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

The concept was that you designated a user and that share would have the user's password as the password - to mimic filesharing as offered by Windows 95 Windows 98. Thus you can't really pass a user to share mode, only a password. The user has to be configured in smb.conf and it is that users password that you must use to login to a samba sharing via share mode. The way to set up samba is 'security = user'. Then each user can login (or not login depending of course on configuration).

Can someone recommend an updated set of instructions for configuring this video card successfully?

telnet on local LAN question
Greetings I am trying to figure out how to get communication between my F14 boxes on a local wired LAN. The best test case I can come up with to prove that I don't know what I am doing wrong is telnet. Each machine has a /etc/hosts looking like (where name is the machine name and other is any other machine: +++ 127.0.0.1 namelocalhost.localdomainlocalhost name.localdomainlocalhost4 ::1 namelocalhost6.localdomain6localhost6 name.localdomain 192.168.2.10 other1.localdomain other1 192.168.2.11 other2.localdomain other2 192.168.2.12 other3.localdomain other3 +++ For the other machines, its name is removed in the 192.168.10.x list and 192.168.2.13 name.localdomain name is added Each machines has a /etc/sysconfig/network of: +++ NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=name.localdomain NTPSERVERARGS=iburst +++ I didn't see any reference to name or otherX in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, so I am not including it ... if there should be something, I'd love to know! I can't think of any other place for otherX or otherX.localdomain, but that's out of ignorance as I haven't encountered this sort of problem before. The splash screen for all machines is name.localdomain. The command hostname returns name.localdomain. Ping works great between all of the machines for both otherX and otherX.localdomain, lists the 192.168.10.x address like a happy camper should But a telnet otherX 25 or telnet otherX.localdomain 25 fails. I can't tell if I need to add information about the other machines somewhere else on name or if they really are known but something is blocking it. I also can't use mail/mailx between the machines. I noticed that mail/mailx always resolves otherX to otherX.localdomain (and sending to self is resolved to name.localdomain), so I changed network to use the localdomain suffix and added it in /etc/hosts before the instance of other. Neither telnet or mail/mailx worked with just name, so I am pretty certain that I didn't break anything by changing name to name.localdomain. Some machines were already using hostname of name.localdomain and my records aren't good enough to know how I specified the name of the machine when I installed F14 (it never was an issue as everything worked until I tested mail/mailx and telnet so I never documented exactly how I should set machine name on install). It seems that the telnet problem is a simpler one than the mail/mailx and if I can at least get telnet working, then I am closer to getting mail/mailx working. Any suggestions?
