The boss dropped one of those DisplayLink USB display adaptors on my desk today, and I'm drooling at the prospect of having a third monitor on my devel machine. Oh don't get too excited screen. But Xorg doesn't seem to care; and my desktop is still limited to my current two heads, with nary a hint of another display device available. You need either - A DisplayLink X server module or - Load the USB framebuffer driver (udlfb) with the option fb_defio=1 and add an xorg.conf for it. You may also need to fiddle with the permissions on /dev/fb1 or wherever it ends up (udev can do this for you) Now the bigger problem is that it's unaccelerated which means if you are using Gnome 3 it'll drop the entire desktop back to the old style of operation. In the old days, I might have tried to jack with the xorg.conf file, but that seems to have vanished somewhere along the way while I wasn't xorg.conf still applies but the server defaults are for automatic probing and behaviour. looking. Has anybody got one of these things to work? How can I tell Xorg that there's another display out there, longing to be used? Write an xorg.conf just like the old days - put your USB interface in as a fbdev device. Don't expect however to be able to drag windows between the USB interface and the other monitors using a basic setup. Gnome appears to be unable to cope with a single setup of unaccelerated and accelerated displays in Gnome 3, so you may have to fiddle around a bit or use a different desktop. Some people set the main desktop up bigger than their displays and then run a separate server on the USB display and use vnc full screen on it to display that extra chunk full screen on a USB display. Hackish but works fine, and with minimal performance impact.

Ignore Yum's request to report it there. If everybody reported dependency

by Yum upstream.

Looks like a dead package that hasn't been updated for the newer

You can run Yum queries to examine whether a package still exists in the

be helpful. They are explained in the manual.

abrtd - how to remove
I just had the lovely experience of abrt trying to be helpful - a GUI crash - and wanting to download 1.2 GB of debuginfo files including things it quite obviously (to a human) does not need. I think abrtd needs help with its decisions ... it appears way too naive in the debuginfo files it needs. That said - how do I remove it? I removed abrt-libs - is that sufficient? Or is there an abrtd daemon that somehow needs to be removed ...

You get that impression, don't you... It's not too surprising, and software creation is full of things like that. Someone's pet project that became really popular, but the originator is really only interested in fulfilling their own needs. I hope I'm wrong, because if I'm right, it won't be long before Gnome has marginalized itself as the vast majority of users abandon it because they can't get it to do what they need anymore. Well, my play with Fedora 16 just leaves me cold. I'm still on Fedora 9, because it's just got worse and worse, since then. It was dead in the water on a fresh install from the 64-bit live CD. You'd get the login screen, then after trying to log in, the oh-no warning, and no options to make any changes that might do anything to get it working. All I could do was switch to a text console, and do a yum update, hoping that an update would fix things. It, sort-of, did. New fancy Gnome3 works in a really annoying way that I just don't want to put up with. It's hard to believe that someone thought that tomfoolery was a good idea. Fallback mode is just about tolerable. I was getting crashes all over the place, either way, but I'm not sure if that was the machine, or Gnome. I was trying it out a computer that I'd never touched before. Trying to restart X, after a crash, or kill off X to try and restart, was just going nowhere, likewise with trying to switch between different virtual terminals and the GUI, so my debugging attempts have given up in disgust. Tried KDE, liked that even less. And they've still got the annoying mentality that installing KDE installs tons of guff. There's no notion of install a basic desktop, and let me decide what *few* applications I might want. Tried XFCE, not thrilled with that, either. It didn't want to make any sounds, so never mind trying to listen to music, or watch YouTube, or anything else with audio. And I don't really care for its UI. Everything I've tried, then, and before, as a Gnome2 substitute, I dislike. What I want, and go looking for in substitutes, is something that works like Gnome2 did. I'm not alone in that. It's the interface model that I want. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Is Fedora good for Java developers?
Hi all, I want to ask if Fedora is good for me a Java developer? I will be working with Java EE technologies and possibly developing Eclipse plugins also. I'm considering Fedora for working in my new company. I used Fedora for about a year. It was Fedora 12 and 13. F13 was quite stable and I like it. I tried F16 lately but it's not stable yet, many bugs and Gnome 3 is not mature. Not sure if it will be stable soon, or how Fedora has been. Its release cycle is quite short, I'm afraid that frequent update/upgrade could cause major problem to my development environment After Fedora 13, for some reason, I switched to Debian Squeeze and I'm still using it. It's a little bit old and lack of cool new features but very stable, high performance and it has a very good community. Don't know if it's worth to sacrifice (Debian) stability for (Fedora) features? Please help me decide.

Re: [389-users] How do I configure Solaris 10 as a LDAP client.
For SSHA Passwords needs Solaris a proper pam configuration, for SSH especially
the section :
other auth requisite pam_authtok_get.so.1
other auth required pam_dhkeys.so.1
other auth required pam_unix_cred.so.1
other auth binding pam_unix_auth.so.1 server_policy
other auth required pam_ldap.so.1
Because there are some variations in the config between the Solaris versions,
the best source for the right stack is
# man pam_ldap

The data does not have to be a *.iso file. dd can get the data back by reading the raw device. I've burned CDs by cp-ing to the raw device, but filtering the data through a burner program is probably more reliable. IIRC I read it back with tar. Instead of running as root, I changed permissions on the raw device. OP's simplest solution is probably to use cp from the raw source disk to a target raw disk. If reliability is an issue, he can make two copies. Probably the target could also be a raw USB stick. Copying entire disks can take a while. Using a file for a target risks running into file system limitations. The one that comes to mind is file size limits.

Re: Is Fedora good for Java developers?
Hi, I want to ask if Fedora is good for me a Java developer? I will be working with Java EE technologies and possibly developing Eclipse plugins also. As a Java developer I like Fedora because of the many java tools and libraries that are part of the distribution. Fedora Eclipse does not include the Java EE plugins but I had no problem enabling Eclipse own update center and installing additional plugins from there, but I'd prefer to have then as part of Fedora itself so I did not get many duplicated jars. Each Fedora release brings the current Eclipse IDE for Java developers and aditional goods. Debian does not include so many Java libraries and tools as Fedora. I don't see stability as a problem comparing to Debian, but it depends on your hardware. Newer hardware gets supported by Fedora before it is by Debian. From time to time a proprietary software (like skype) has trouble with Fedora because of lbrary updates, such as when Fedora switched to PulseAudio, but you can avoid that by not updating to the latest Fedora release. Fedora also brings newer PostgreSQL and other software compared do Debian. For me access to new Features outweights the problems those features sometimes cause.

Help! Gnome-Shell segfault.
Hello all, Urgent help required! I have turned on my Fedora 16 machine today. It booted quite normally to the GDM login screen. When I selected one of my 3 users it started to login to the account as usual, but got no further than loading the background. I CTRL-ALT-BKSPC'd back to the login screen and tried each of the other accounts. Same problem. I can start a terminal session with CTRL-ALT-F2 and login to any user account in that terminal - and it is from there that I am sending this (using Mutt). I have tried googling using a text based browser, (but that is quite hard work) and all I have come up with is this bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753666 which describes my symptoms perfectly (I am also using the nvidia akmod driver) but there is no resolution for me in that bugzilla. Unlike that report I have updated nothing since Sunday (11 December) and it worked fine yesterday (12 December).

Re: abrtd - how to remove
Which file sizes are you talking about? Depends what crashes - but probably of the order of 1,000 times less than a big set of debug packages I can think of a couple of ways to improve things: 1. Separate out the debuginfo rpms into a zillion independent rpms with one and only one library per rpm. That way instead of downloading the entire glibc-debuginfo, abrt could download just the debuginfo for libraries that appear in the stack walkback (wouldn't even need all the libraries which were in the process, but only the ones required to dig up a backtrace). Bonus points for separating the source files from the object files as well (don't need the source files to generate a backtrace). 2. Make the retrace server actually be a remote debugger. Instead of downloading the entire core file, it would just peek at the bits of it needed to generate the backtrace. -- 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 Have a question?

Someone who knows the commands to make an encrypte filesystem and to use LVM or the device mapper stuff to map a file to a mountable device should be able to fill in the gaps. That should get you I/O behavour much more efficient that FUSE based methods.

Detective work on dupes

What I'm doing now is taking things listed as having problems, and with versions pre-fc16 and trying to resolve them one by one. Slow, but I might eventually clear up the dependency issues if I'm lucky. The first thing I tried was glew. I only have the fc16 version of glew installed, but I have both the fc14 and fc16 versions of glew-devel.

In my case it wasn't about the wrong version being removed, it was a matter of removing a file that belonged to both versions at the same time (the reason why I had dupes was because an update/upgrade didn't finish, so old versions weren't cleaned up).

There can be some problems if there were packages not updated as part of a broken transaction. You want to keep track of what was removed so you can put stuff back if need be. If you notice right away when a transaction goes bad, you want to run yum-complete-transaction, as that will finish adding packages for the transaction before it starts removing stuff. If too much stuff has changed before you try this you may not be able to just finish the transaction. -- 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 Have a question?

See the TimeoutSec section of man systemd.service for more details. -T.C. -- 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 Have a question?
