Fedora :: Porting Desktop Changes / Customizations?
Mar 6, 2010
First thing I do when I install fedora is to customise a few things: default font sizes, number of workspaces (an their names), icons on the gnome panels etc. I was wondering if there is a way that I could just copy some file from my old install to the new one that would save me doing this manully each time. I think the main things I need are customisations done in System->Preference->Appearnece and customisations to the GNOME Panels

I've got a well loved, highly customised Gnome desktop scheme on Opensuse 10.3. I want to do a fresh install of the latest Opensuse but would like to keep the Gnome desktop and colour scheme from the old installation. I also want to have the exact desktop scheme on a new laptop that I intend to install with Opensuse. What file/folders do I need to back-up from the old installation?

My problem is I own an HP2133 with via graphics. These drivers are very poorly supported, both open-source and proprietary drivers F13 runs quite nice on that machine, but playback of videos or flash lacks much perfomance.Proprietary drivers are only provided for Ubuntu and that only for 9.10 by VIA until know. With these drivers Ubuntu 9.10 is able to playback flash/videos quite good. But Ubuntu (9.10) brings a few annoying bugs, which do not seem to be fixed, that is the thing I do dislike with this ditstro. I pushed my luck and tried these drivers with F11/F12, but they did not work due to differences in xorg version. In F10 it was possible to use 8.04 VIA drivers, but F10 has EOL and is besides flash playback considerably slower than later Fedora releases.
So I thought using alien or similar tools to convert the xorg packages from Ubuntu 9.10 into rpms and install these to a F13 release.... (Like downgrading to an older xorg like it was necessary in F9 for ATI cards ...) As the VIA drivers did not work with earlier version of Fedora, I had the idea porting Ubuntu's xorg to Fedora that way.Before I start spending a lot of time on this, I would like the freaks and neerds around here, if this to your opinion could have any chance of success.

I need to replicate my Ubuntu laptop as a VirtualBox guest. To replicate in the guest the packages currently installed in my laptop, I plan to follow the recipe given here:[URL]What I need now is a way to identify all the packages that have customizations (e.g. changes to config files, etc.)What's the best way to do this? Can dpkg figure this information out and report it?

I have broken up my ubuntu installation by deleting some system files. I would like to reinstall on the same partition without formatting. Will this remove my installed software and configurations?

What happens if I restart GDM? And how do I do it? I think I did it once and I lost all my configurations, or maybe that was something else. i just dont want to have to redo all my customizations.

On Ubuntu 10.10 I started a 2nd instance of Firefox using the command: Firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote &Created a new profile and everything works smoothly except for the fact that this instance of FF does not obey by GTK2 customizations that I have placed in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.Moreover, only SOME of the customizations are not obeyed. For example, the vertical scrollbars are supposed to be on the left, but they are on the right. The scrollbar arrows are together (Mac-like) as specified, so is the scrollbar width.The first instance obeys all customizations with scrollbars on the left.

Ubuntu and other Linux distros have a limited useful life, for example Ubuntu only supports its current release until April 2012. If I decide to upgrade at that time, are my customizations lost, also add on software lost e.g. Codeweavers Crossover Office, and software running inside Crossover, etc.?

I've got two laptops (a Dell and an Acer), one for work, the other for home. Both run openSUSE 11.1 64-bit and use KDE 4.4.
Is it possible to copy the settings on one machine to the other? The desktops are pretty similar, but not quite the same - and I can't remember what I did to the one I prefer to get it that way.
Obviously, the underlying hardware is different, but I am hoping that the OS takes care of that.

I have written some shells scripts. They basically create ssh tunnels between a my box and numerous nodes on a cluster. Which then allows me send Linux commands and receive output from far away nodes on my cluster.
E.g. Script:
Code:
#linux_command="uname -a"
#Create tunnel

I use ubuntu 9.04;I have a function called "isLogEnabled" in my project on windows, I wanna port it to linux. I know that I should have a "config.h" file in linux to get log from a specific Shared object and ..., but because I'm new to linux, I don't know how this should be done.
This is my function:

I bought a set of 3 laser sensors and it came with a software and its C++ source code for windows to receive the lasers info through the serial port. Since the entire project is running on Linux, I need to port the windows code to Linux. At the present moment, I already can receive the data from each of the 3 sensors, but the info is coming concatenated! Tracking down the original windows code, I found that it is probably happening cause I didn't ported these lines to my Linux version:
Code:
COMMTIMEOUTS CommTimeouts;
[...]
CommTimeouts.ReadIntervalTimeout = 2;
[code]....
I've searched already about how to specify the serial port timeouts on Linux, but didn't find a solution. how to port these lines to Linux or maybe where to find more info about how to set serial port timeouts on Linux?

I am a software developer, presently porting a game engine from Visual Studio to GCC. I'm working on LTS 10.04. The project uses C++ lambdas, and I really would like to keep it this way. Therefore, I need GCC >= 4.5 to compile it.
I wouldn't like to reinstall entire OS, or to have to manually update this single program every time. Is there an option to update it from 10.10 repositories, pointing out, that I need only this package (and it's dependencies)? Or is there any PPA that does the trick for me?
Generally, the entire packaging system of Ubuntu rocks, as long as I can find up-to-date PPAs of all packages I need to have in recent versions (like mono).

I am still new to porting wifi drivers. I am currently porting Ralink RT5370 driver, no problem with the compilation but when I execute insmod operation I got a lot of errors regarding RTMP. This is a part of the error I got:
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol rausb_buffer_free
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol RtmpOsFreeSpinLock
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol RtmpOsPktHeadBufExtend
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol RtmpOSTaskNotifyToExit
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol RtmpOsGetNetDevName
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol RtmpOsHtonl
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol RtmpOsAtomicInterlockedExchange
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol RtmpUtilInit
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol RtmpOSTaskInit
rt5370sta: Unknown symbol RtmpOsAtomicInit
insmod: can't insert '/home/rt5370sta.ko': unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter
Based on the some forum that I've read, adding the MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") is one of the solution. I did add it inside usb_main_dev.c and recompile but I still get the same errors.

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 just installed Fedora 15 with the gnome desktop which looks like the android system for mobile phones, I installed wine which put the icons on my desktop but whenever I install a windows app it doesn't put an icon on my desktop for that particular application. How would I add an icon for those window apps so I can lunch them from the desktop, I don't know if you call that the desktop or just the program luncher either way how do I put an icon there so I can run those windows apps from there?

I have installed Fedora 13 sucessfully and rebooted my computer for its first run of Fedora. When it comes time to load the desktop I only get the desktop and nothing else. I noticed that my mouse can run off the side of the screen on the left or right. I've tried rebooting and the only thing that changes is which side the mouse runs off.

When I first install fedora from my fedora DVD i was unaware of the fact that it also contained in it the KDE Desktop environment.The thing is I am new to fedora and since the default is GNOME, I installed it the GNOME desktop.Can any one tell me how to have the GNOME and the KDE environment both as option when i boot my PC using only the Fedora DVD and not the internet.---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------I more thing i would like to tell which i tried.I went to add/remove software and searched "KDE desktop". It showed me lots of KDE packages from my DVD. But I don't know which one to install so I didn't go forward to install any of those.

I 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.
