KDE 4.11.3 intermittently forgets plasmoids (2013-12-14)

2013-12-14 Thread Steven P. Ulrick
Hello, Everyone
OK, this is getting kind of silly...  I USED to have an issue with KDE
intermittently forgetting my plasmoids and other desktop settings.
Now, I can't get KDE to remember them at all!  As an experiment, I just
got my desktop to look like I wanted it to, then I did the following:
1. Leave | Save Session
2. Change these files to read-only:
~/.kde/share/config/activitymanagerrc
~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
3. Log out, and then back in.

The result? No plasmoids at all!

These are old screenshots of how my desktop SHOULD have looked when I
logged back in, and how it actually DID:

http://www.afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_00-Desktop-Screenshot-BAD

The big difference between KDE's behavior now and how it's been in the
recent past is that I am not ever able to get my desktop to stay
looking the way that I want it to.

Check out these two threads on this subject:

If you need any new information, please let me know.

PS: Rex, sorry for CC'ing you on this, but I think that you probably
have some good ideas about this issue.

dhclient: preventing hostname disclosure via DHCP request (option 12)

2013-12-14 Thread fedorauser
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

Hi,

I'd like to avoid sending my hostname to the DHCP server via the DHCP
request (Option 12).

On my F19 system dhclient runs with the following parameters:

/sbin/dhclient -d -sf /usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf
/var/run/dhclient-em1.pid -lf
/var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-e4e10ab3-a727-4cae-9b6e-40b565ad3e3f-em1.lease
- -cf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-em1.conf em1


/var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-em1.conf
contains the relevant line:

send host-name foobar; # added by NetworkManager


but modifying this file has no effect since it will be regenerated by
NetworkManager.


What is the right way to remove the send host-name line from
dhclient's config file?

thanks!
fedorauser

I looked back past the first of the month, and found no thread on 
yum groups. I did find one on yum in F19, but it was over my head. 

In case it tells any of you anything, yum update on an F20 has 
produced a very similar set of warnings here.

I did post a solved response, but it apparently did not get connected
to this thread, so here it is again:

In the file /etc/yum.conf
add the line:
group_command=compat

This silences the messages for now.  But I wonder what functionality
this might hide?

Cinnamon won't load panel.

2013-12-14 Thread Frank McCormick


The past week or so I have been having trouble with my Cinnamon desktop 
on Fedora 19.
The panel is not loading, and it **seems** like the wallpaper is also 
not loading, although because I run 2 gdesklets, the proper background 
can be seen on them. The rest of the screen is black except for the 
desktop icons. Once in a while if I logon to Cinnamon 3 or 4 times in a 
row the desktop will come up properly but other times it refuses to load 
properly. I also run Mate and XFCE desktops and I am wondering whether 
there is a conflict somewhere.


Is anyone else experiencing this ?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  Answering my own question. a cinnamon --replace fixed it. Still 
dunno what happened but I suspect an incompatible applet.
