I just started using Fedora 15 at work. I have a dual screen monitor setup running basic drivers on a nVidia card 8800. I want to move my taskbar and Fedora "start button" to the left screen. Could you tell me settings or modifications to move the taskbar and dock to the other screen? I've looked through GUI and display settings.
View 4 RepliesI do not understand Software Update. I've been using Fedora for about three months now and I've used the software update a few times. This time it tells me I have 3.1 G of updates! When I select a few that might fix current problems, the only app status is "loading"--no progress bars, or status messages. In fairness, the previous updates ran without incident. This time with 3G I was forced to manage the session and I can't tell if its working or not. Is it hanging with this message?
I canceled that download and did it again selecting 8 updates. But when I compared the reported file sizes (< 5MB) and the summary at the bottom ( >270MB) there was a huge difference --50 times more data! Are these dependencies?
I'm really not even sure how to go about selecting from 3.1 G security updates (1G), Bugs, and whatever else. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the Ubuntu Repository there is a way to ask questions about programs. Is there something similar with Debian? Or another way to get help with programs? I attached a screenshot to help you get an idea of what I am talking about.

today I upgraded my 11.2 system to KDE 4.4.2. Basically this works. However there are two questions I was not yet able to find a useful answer for:
- 4.4.2 offer strigi desktop search. The index process started and probably did its job but how can I start a search. I found a hint that dolphin can be used, but here I do not find any Menu entry that opens a search dialog (except for the standard file search window). What I found was settings->Toolbar and there I could add a search bar into dolphins toolbar. However this search bar only appears in this one window, if I close it and open a new dolphin window it will not appear again (probably a bug). Any other way to start a strigi based desktop search?
- Again in dolphin I sometimes see strange folder icons for the folders in my home directory. Basically this is the default folder icon and after waiting a while all the icons change in that inside the regular folder icon a gray rectangle is displayed a the lower left side. No idea what this is good for. I goes away if I reload the folders content and then again after a while those strange icon appears again. It does however not appear for folders in eg /tmp only for /home which is on my system a NFS mounted filesystem.
What issues are there with 64 bit? I have done some research, but while there has been some mention of issues I can't seem to find any posts listing them. My desktop is currently running Maverick 32 bit, and I would like to upgrade to 64 bit. I have 4gb ram and 768 mb video ram, and conky only lists 2.74gb when queried. I would like to be able to address all memory so I can run Windows in Virtualbox, but my current install runs well.
Any help is appreciated.
I'm working hard with Nagios 3.0.4 on Debian Lenny. I have some questions. I can't find any information about these issues. I have hosts with a first_notification_delay of 60 minutes.And I have the whole day a Nagios controlling the same hosts. It's good to know if the same host is turned on during the night, but my work period begins at 10:00 am and it finish at 22:00 pm, I'm not a lucky boy I have configured a notification Period to 10:00 am to 22:00 pm.
Question 1: If a host goes into hard state CRITICAL, I know that Nagios waits 60 minutes to send a notification, but What happens if the host recovers before the first_notification_delay period ( for example, 30 min before)?Does it send the recovery notification or not?
Question 2: If a hard state happens at 21:59. Does Nagios wait until the 10:00 am of the day after to send the notification? If the host recovers at 9:00 am of the day after is the notification message cancelled?
ive used openbox for quite some time, but recently decided to make the switch to fluxbox. i have gotten everything up and running except for true transparency. i have seen screenshots in which this works, but i have not been able to duplicate the results.
in openbox, all i had to do was run cairo-compmgr at startup and my terminals were automatically transparent, and all the window effects i selected with cairo-compmgr were applied when i chose them. in fluxbox, i run cairo-compmgr, it starts up fine, and i know its running because i can use it's transparency settings to set whole windows to alpha (super + mouse scrolling), and the little "tab" buttons that fluxbox has have shadow effects drawn on them. the actual windows, however are not effected by cairo-compmgr running in the slightest. the windows themselves dont have shadows, and my terminals do not use transparency at all. even my xchat notifications have black boxes around them because not transparency is being used.
I'm running Fedora 15 with Gnome 3. I installed Gnome-Do using 'yum install gnome-do'. I opened it from the Terminal by typing 'gnome-do' but I keep getting an error message that says
Could not load desktop item: libgnome-desktop-2.so.17
Gnome-Do opens but it doesn't display any application I search for and when I try opening the Gnome-Do preferences, it quits.
I installed gnome-desktop-2.32.0-8.fc16.i686.rpm from here: [url] and then installed Gnome-Do. Everything works fine now.
I have been trying the Open Office web page creator. In Presentation under options, wizard, the web.Two questions come to mind. How can I get an older document into the page for test viewing? Does the document have to be a certain kind? When I put one in, it looks like a link and will not open, I want it to be there in full straight off.And creating an email, can it be the new one the host will maintain for me as I pay?
User name and passwords, are an agreement between myself and the host company?Upload by FTP, I must get the FTP address first from the host?Is there a tutorial here or elsewhere for Open Office Presentation?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI successfully installed Fedora 14 and spent 2 days in the Gnome desktop. Performed program and security Updates. Have booted in and out a number of times since.Well not this morning. Now I am greeted with the Desktop Login dialogue except under the "F" symbol where the login names are supposed to be, I see only my Computer Hostname unless I click it (and then I just see "Fedora Release 14 (Laughlin)There is the bottom panel displaying the Time, Battery, and Shutdown button.
No User Login entries.CTRL+Alt+2 brings me to (tty2) where I can log in my account at the commandline but I can not get back to my desktop.I followed the directions here : fedora-10-root-login/ and now see the loging entry "other..." and can type in my user account to log in. But that login box no longer shows my User Account listed when loging in.
I have gnome which is the DE I always use, but today I wanted to try KDE so I did a 'yum install @kde-desktop', the installation went ok, so I rebooted just in case and logged on a KDE session, the animation for loading was displayed and when it was finishing it went back to the login window instead of loading the desktop. If I try the KDE live CD, on other computers it shows the desktop right away but on mine it sends me to the login window and the same, looks like its loading but it sends me back.
Gnome keeps working ok, I can even launch all KDE apps installed like Dolphin and stuff but can't run a KDE session, does KDE 4.X have a special hardware requirements?.
For some reason I can never seem to get the desktop sharing going on Fedora. I have F12 installed on the ESXi server at work, but I also tried this on my laptop at home this weekend same result.I'm currently following the Fedora 12 users guide, section 15.2 KDE
When I open Desktop Sharing (Krfb) I go to set an invitation, connect in TightVNC 192.168.128.38:5900, Failed to Connect. If I goto security> Allow Uninvited Connections, I set a password, same thing.I'm using the most current version of TightVNC and I know it's works because I don't have any problem VNC into my OS 10.5 box.
I played around with KDE and eventually messed up. My right click on the desktop doesn't work and the panel goes from the original color to black when I extend it. I even lost the "clickable" in the upper right part of the desktop. I already tried System Settings > Desktop > Defaults > Apply. Doesn't work for me.How could I revert to the default settings?
