Re: Fwd: Gnome 3 favorites list cut off at bottom of screen
Thank you. Now I can make a copy of the user file and experiment with fixing my problem, knowing I can copy the original file back, if I mess up.

Re: Fwd: Gnome 3 favorites list cut off at bottom of screen
Update. Now that I know where Gnome keeps my favorites information, I made a copy of this database file, then started removing entries from my favorites. The icons resize feature is still working. I got down to a single icon, which I could not remove. (There was no option to remove the last icon available.) I then removed the user file completely and rebooted. The user file returned with the single icon I had left. There must be another copy of the information from this file somewhere else. Any ideas where? I then began adding icons into my favorites selection. Each icron was added to the bottom of the chain, as they should. As the favorites icron chain got to the bottom of the screen, the chain scrolled off the bottom. I could still add icons but I could not see the bottom 3, or so, icons that I added last. As I added even more icons, the chain resized to use smaller icons, but I still could not see the bottom 3. It us almost as if somewhere something believes the screen is actually deeper that it really is by an inch or two. Any ideas how to fix this? Any ideas how to get the gnome-shell to rebuild the user file? Any ideas at all? Jake On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 6:11 AM, Jake Dancer jakedancer...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you.

Re: Fwd: Gnome 3 favorites list cut off at bottom of screen
I used your idea. Great idea by the way. I was able to reset the favorites list. I then added icons one or two at a time until the list ran off the bottom of the screen. I logged out, reset the list and logged back in. This time I added different icons. I did this five times. each with differing icons. There seems to be no correlation between which icons I choose and the list running off the bottom of the screen. I have sent a bugzilla to Gnome as it appears to be a gnome-shell problem. Has anyone else hit this bug? I now have it on five different machines, from desktop, to laptop to netbook. Each with different video hardware. If anyone has any ideas what to try next please let me know. Thanks. Jake On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 8:09 AM, Ed Greshko ed.gres...@greshko.com wrote: On 01/07/14 20:03, Jake Dancer wrote: Update.

f20 x86_64 installation saga
As of this morning, I have f20 x86_64 running on my Lenovo x120e with a 240GB SSD drive. The 'bug' that was biting me was the NVRAM update for the efibootmgr. This is still an outstanding issue. All the things Chris had me try never got my NVRAM updated. Even thought I had bricked it at one point. What finally worked was Chris 'talking' me through making what did get installed bootable. Took a bit, and there are still some hitches to smooth out, but it looks like it works now. I have rsynced everything over from the i386 f20 drive and up and running. Still things to do, so you will probably be hearing from me :) Like getting logwatch and cron working with just mailx. Since this is a clean build, not even postfix install/erase or procmail install/erase. This is CLEAN wrt an MTA! We will get this figured out! ;) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Technically they do export a storage interface, by default via MTP, optionally as PTP. Or neither, in which case I have no access at all. What you mean is that Android devices don't present themselves as a block device, i.e. we don't have access to either logical or physical sectors, therefore we can't load a partition table or even find file system superblocks. It's kinda like only being able to mount a share via NFS, rather than as iSCSI. You must use MTP to access them which is what simple-mtfs does. I've used it successfully on F19. Right, this is built into Gnome. I just connected my 2 year old Galaxy Nexus running 4.3.1, and it automounts the Galaxy Nexus device with an Internal Storage icon that I can navigate. mount shows: fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime) gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000) So to access storage from command line you'd need to figure out how to use MTP via fusectl, I'm not sure it's done with the mount command, never tried it.

On Jan 7, 2014, at 9:38 AM, Andy Johnson johnson...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Thanks for your answer. Android 4 devices don't export a storage interface, I know, but this is a veteran mini galaxy, and I am sure that it *does* export a storage interface; when I am accessing it from windows with Kies, it prompts me to accept it as a storage device, as I mentioned in my post. When Android is in normal operation, it's either MTP or PTP depending on the setting in USB Connections. By default it's MTP. If you unlock the bootloader and get into the debug mode, the device behaves differently and it's possible to access the individual logical block devices, but thus far I haven't found (or gone looking for) a way to access the partition table. In this mode, one or two of the partitions permits being reformatted, but this is done via SDK tools so only ext4 is permitted. You can't actually mount the file system as a block device. It's all done via a bridge - that was via ADB and fastboot when I was trying to truly blow away my phone by replacing with Google supplied images rather than OTA based updates.

If it does, why no newaliases, and how to install only newaliases, not a whole MTA? Well for now, I can quite live with root mail going to root's maildir. From the mailx man page: Personal and systemwide distribution lists It is also possible to create a personal distribution lists so that, for instance, the user can send mail to 'cohorts' and have it go to a group of people. Such lists can be defined by placing a line like alias cohorts bill ozalp jkf mark kridle@ucbcory in the file .mailrc in the user's home directory. The current list of such aliases can be displayed with the alias command in mailx. System wide distribution lists can be created by editing /etc/aliases, see aliases(5) and sendmail(8); these are kept in a different syntax. In mail the user sends, personal aliases will be expanded in mail sent to others so that they will be able to reply to the recipients. System wide aliases are not expanded when the mail is sent, but any reply returned to the machine will have the system wide alias expanded as all mail goes through sendmail. ~~~ So, the answer is that you can create aliases in mailx but these are different than /etc/aliases. Sounds like a historical artifact that came into existence when mailx was created as mail eXtended and it was reasonable to just want to send mail to folks who resided on the same system as you with no MTA involved.

FYI: Centos joins RedHat
From the CENTOS user mailing list * *BEGIN ENCRYPTED or SIGNED PART* * With great excitement I'd like to announce that we are joining the Red Hat family. The CentOS Project ( http://www.centos.org ) is joining forces with Red Hat. Working as part of the Open Source and Standards team ( http://community.redhat.com/ ) to foster rapid innovation beyond the platform into the next generation of emerging technologies. Working alongside the Fedora and RHEL ecosystems, we hope to further expand on the community offerings by providing a platform that is easily consumed, by other projects to promote their code while we maintain the established base. We are also launching the new CentOS.org website ( http://www.centos.org ). - The new initiative is going to be overseen by the new CentOS Governing Board. The initial Board comprises of the existing CentOS Core team members : - Ralph Angenent - Tru Hyunh - Johnny Hughes JR - Jim Perrin - Karanbir Singh and also sees new members: - Fabian Arrotin, who comes to the board nominated from the community - Carl Trieloff, Karsten Wade, and Mike McLean join us, nominated by Red Hat. Please join me in welcoming the new members to the Board. The key operating points of the Board are going to be: Public, Open, and Inclusive. You can find more information about the governance model, the board, and the operating policies we are proposing at http://www.centos.org/about/governance/ Furthermore, some of the existing CentOS Core members are moving to take up roles at Red Hat, as a part of their sponsorship of the CentOS Project, allowing these people to work on the Project as their primary job function. This includes Johnny Hughes Jr, Jim Perrin, Fabian Arrotin, and myself. We will be working with and operating out of the Red Hat Open Source and Standards team in the CTO's Office. - Some of the things that are not changing: - The CentOS Linux platform isn't changing. The process and methods built up around the platform however are going to become more open, more inclusive and transparent. - The sponsor driven content network that has been central to the success of the CentOS efforts over the years stays intact. - The bugs, issues, and incident handling process stays as it has been with more opportunities for community members to get involved at various stages of the process. - The Red Hat Enterprise Linux to CentOS firewall will also remain. Members and contributors to the CentOS efforts are still isolated from the RHEL Groups inside Red Hat, with the only interface being srpm / source path tracking, no sooner than is considered released. In summary: we retain an upstream. Feel free to reach out if you have specific concerns about how this change impacts your CentOS story. URLs mentioned at the bottom of this email should be a good starting point. - Some of the key things that are changing: - Some of us now work for Red Hat, but not RHEL. This should not have any impact to our ability to do what we have done in the past, it should facilitate a more rapid pace of development and evolution for our work on the community platform. - Red Hat is offering to sponsor some of the buildsystem and initial content delivery resources - how we are able to consume these and when we are able to make use of this is to be decided. - Sources that we consume, in the platform, in the addons, or the parallel stacks such as Xen4CentOS will become easier to consume with a git.centos.org being setup, with the scripts and rpm metadata needed to create binaries being published there. The Board also aims to put together a plan to allow groups to come together within the CentOS ecosystem as a Special Interest Group (SIG) and build CentOS Variants on our resources, as officially endorsed. You can read about the proposal at http://www.centos.org/variants/ - Because we are now able to work with the Red Hat legal teams, some of the contraints that resulted in efforts like CentOS-QA being behind closed doors, now go away and we hope to have the entire build, test, and delivery chain open to anyone who wishes to come and join the effort. The changes we make are going to be community inclusive, and promoted, proposed, formalised, and actioned in an open community centric manner on the centos-devel mailing list. And I highly encourage everyone to come along and participate. - Contacting us works best via the established community mechanisms. - Real time chats via IRC ( http://wiki.centos.org/irc ) ; To keep conversation sanity intact, I recommend using the #centos-devel channel to discuss project related activity while #centos is best used for end user conversations. - The Mailing lists are a great way to interface with the developers, contributors and the community at large ( http://lists.centos.org ). As with IRC, we recommend using the centos-devel list to talk about project related issues while the general centos list is best used for

OT: procmailrc question
Dear friends, I am new to making my own procmail recipes and am a bit stumped with this one. I use sylfilter as my spam-filtering tool: this tool is available at http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/sylfilter/ and does ok. (Since I have been training it for a year, I am not that keen on switching to spamassassin or bogofilter, etc). However it only processes within the mailer (sylpheed) currently and that too manually (a button sequence has to be pressed). There is no automatic processing in sylpheed. Being perhaps foolhardy, I have been trying to get syfilter to work with procmail using my .procmailrc. I was trying to mimic the example here: http://www.math.tohoku.ac.jp/~kuroki/keijiban/procmailrc.txt However, the issue is that I do not quite see how to get this to work because unlike bogofilter, sylfilter does not add anything to the header. If it returns a value 0, the mail is classified as junk, otherwise it is classified as not spam. These are the return values (which the user does not see): Return values: 0 junk (spam) 1 clean (non-spam) 2 uncertain 127 other errors My question is: how do i set up my .procmailrc to specify that after processing, if the value is 0 then it goes to the $HOME/Junk/. section, otherwise it goes off to be processed in the usual way? In the bogofilter (and also spamassassin) examples, there is a way to insert a header in the mail before processing (which is different from sylfilter's capabilities) so I am a little stumped. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this? Many thanks for your time and help! Best wishes. Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Adrian Since nobody else has answered, I see this occasionally on my machine at home. Its not an nvidia problem, as my system is using the radeon driver. Maybe its a Radeon problem. I have an ATI Radeon 4850 card and I am encountering the same problem also. I find that restarting yumex clears the problem for me. It only happens for me after I have already made a change in Yumex and am trying to make further changes. So restarting cleears the problem since Yumex is back to making the first change in which the problem does not occur. This weekend I noticed dnf running when yumex was active. I have removed dnf, but haven't tested whether that has an effect on the problem. For me, it seems to occur after I have finished one install, and decide to install something else without exiting yumex. Exactly. The problem is a real PITA with Yumex. Yumex also has other bugs in FC19-FC20 ( enabling/disabling repositories are not persisted ) but this problem is worse. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: OT: procmailrc question
Hi, Thanks for this very much, and also the explanations! Example (untested, needed adapting): # Get rid of duplicates :0 Wc | sylfilter ... :0 a /dev/null So, I tried this, but without the (I guessed that you were suggesting this for arguments, is this correct, and the default versions are just fine for using sylfilter). Therefore, I put in this: :0 Wc | /usr/local/bin/sylfilter :0 a $HOME/Mail/Junk/. However, I still get the same error in my procmail.log file: No input file. Before reporting on the process for the next step (as it was doing previously). What am I doing wrong? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan sylfilter will receive a copy of the message on its standard input. The above recipe should file messages to /dev/null if sylfilter returns an exit status of 0. Of course, change /dev/null to the name of a folder if you plan to file junk email (for review) instead of discarding it. Note that the above recipe is actually two procmail filters: the first uses sylfilter as the message filer (which is hy it has the c flag; it is filing a copy). The filter recipe depends on the success of the prceeding one, so if sylfilter did not consider the message to be junk, the second filter will not file the message as junk. See man 5 procmailrc for details. Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson c...@zip.com.au In the wet the rear is more controllable and easy to use I would agree.

Possible OT question
Hi All; Our company is hosting an upcoming Open Data Summit conference (opendatasummit.com) I've posted to a few relevant mailing lists, such as the PostgreSQL Announce list. Before I post here and potentially step over a line that I shouldn't I wanted to pose the question, would it be ok/appropriate for me to post a call for speakers announcement here? or is this simply too far off topic?

I was trying to mimic the example here: http://www.math.tohoku.ac.jp/~kuroki/keijiban/procmailrc.txt However, the issue is that I do not quite see how to get this to work because unlike bogofilter, sylfilter does not add anything to the header. If it returns a value 0, the mail is classified as junk, [...] (which the user does not see): Return values: 0 junk (spam) As you say, it does not modify the email. Instead, you want a recipe shaped like this one: # Get rid of duplicates :0 Whc: .msgid.lock | formail -D 16384 .msgid.cache :0 a /dev/null This recipe discards duplicate emails, but by replacing the formail command with your sylfilter command you can have it discard (or file) junk email. Example (untested, needed adapting): # Get rid of duplicates :0 Wc | sylfilter ... :0 a /dev/null Dropping messages to /dev/null is dangerous. It's a good way to lose legit mail that was misclassified. Better to create a spam directory and put mail classified as spam in there. It's easy to skim thru that and pick out any mail that was misclassified. -- Bob Holtzman Your mail is being read by tight lipped NSA agents who fail to see humor in Doctor Strangelove Key ID 8D549279 signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: yumex auto checks for updates even though not checked

I want yumex for new things. I want it just to go to 'Available' packages. The preferences are the defaults. The 'Autocheck for Updates' is NOT selected. What gives here? Perhaps you should write your own yumex package that does exactly what you, personally, want? Another option could be to offer to support the developers (means send money) to request that they write you a special. personal package. -- David -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
