<0> from the file manager I can't go to fonts:/// and drag and drop like the help book says btw.
<1> "can't" ?
<2> knighthawk: you probably need to make a ~/.fonts/ first
<0> DrNick, k trying that
<3> ok - how would i go about getting qt with compiled thread support?
<0> hmmm I have that dir all ready and the files I just cp into /usr/share/fonts is showing there. Don't know if its from the drag and drop or not. However they still aren't showing in the filemanager (I've refreshed but didn't restart the font server)
<4> greetings again
<4> does Xorg can be update ?
<5> "yum update" as usual should update everything.
<4> fedorared: yes using yum update i having problem with my kde now
<4> fedorared: i have updated everything from 'yum update' , but now i still having a problem
<6> why, in nmap, does a udp portscan require root privs?
<7> hey, as I mentioned earlier, the link in the topic is giving a 404 "The requested URL /archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-February/msg00059.html:: was not found on this server."
<7> ...somebody needs to cghange that
<5> kroisis: works for me.
<7> fedorared, the FCSt3 announcment?
<5> kroisis: yes. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-February/msg00059.html
<5> kroisis: you have two colons at the end. ::
<4> heh
<7> hmm...without the colons I'm getting refered to a 'memory leak' announcement
<4> sounds more like a bad Fedora package problem
<4> f a kcontrol page is missing, then a library is missing
<4> :/
<4> *if
<5> kroisis: that's the announcement. it caused quite a few problems.
<7> I'm sure...is it going to delay scheduled release?
<7> ...or are we 'boldly marching forward'?
<5> kroisis: that got fixed a while ago.
<7> fedorared, cool
<5> kroisis: currently FC5 is due out the 20th.
<7> er...I heard somewhere the 15th I thought
<1> fedorared: is it going to be possible to upgrade via yum?
<5> kroisis: one more delay, hopefully the last.
<5> InsomniaCity: I don't recommend it.
<7> ahhh
<7> such is life
<1> fedorared: every time I ask that, every release, its always the answer
<1> fedorared: why is that never going to be a supported method?
<1> despite the fact I swear it was going to be at one stafe
<5> InsomniaCity: because everybody tests anaconda as the supported installer.
<2> because upgrades need a stop-the-world approach that yum (or anything else) can't provide
<1> I fail to see how... its all bits and bytes
<1> obviously it'll need a reboot
<5> |Jef|: yum memory leak ChanServ announcement a bit old. consider removal :)
<3> hi people,
<3> i managed to get past the qt problem :)
<5> InsomniaCity: it's sort of like doing surgery without putting the patient under. Difficult to operate on things while they're still running.
<3> now i have kde issues.....
<8> Is the person who maintains the fedora FAQ on here now??
<3> checking for KDE... configure: error:
<3> in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
<3> does this mean i need to get the kde source?
<1> fedorared: h...how so? take it down to runlevel 3, and stuff won't really be accessing stuff it shouldn't
<5> Tinned_Tuna: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#contact
<5> InsomniaCity: runlevel 3 is essentially runlevel 5 - X Windows. Lots of fun stuff still running.
<8> ooo
<8> coolness, thanks
<4> my panel kcontrol module seems to be missing even i do re-installation using yum , what should i do ? any solution for me ?
<3> thanks for the help guys - (if ur still here...)
<3> got it working :)
<3> im a recently converted linux user (ex windoz)
<9> FC5 excitement y/n?
<3> coolk open gl stuff in it !
<5> mwright1night: y
<8> woo, with a bit of luck, the maintainer will recieve and read my email :)
<8> i believe he's called Max Kanat-Alexander
<8> maybe he'll even link to my site...
<5> Tinned_Tuna: may take a while, he's notoriously slow at mail.
<9> is there a leaked copy yet
<9> maybe it will be more tightly controlled this time
<5> mwright1night: uh, the final release hasn't even been created yet, as far as I know.
<8> fedorared: lol, ok :)
<8> if he's on here, can you please notify him of my attempt at a useful script :) I'm not on that often anymore, school is such a drain on my time, i've only been on all day asi was developing my script :)
<8> it's at http://dannyturner.dyndns.org/fedora-restorer/
<8> well, if you remember, and if you can be bothered :)
<8> maximum81: you might be interested in that... unless you already have ur flash, pdf and MP3 support...
<9> I wonder if there will be a yum update to the new version
<9> that'd be nice
<5> mwright1night: I don't recommend it, it's not tested.
<8> does anyone recommend upgrading to FC5 via yum??
<3> thanks tinnedtuna - however it only supports x86 right now...
<4> ok now im satisfied..thanks
<10> has anyone got VMware-toolbox working with FC5
<11> I just installed Enlightenment, but it doesn't show up in the Session list in GDM - is there a config file somewhere I need to edit to add Enlightenment to that list?
<2> aoeuhtns: put a desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions
<11> DrNick: thanks I'll try that
<12> Hey guys, I need some help. I have one process that listens for signals from other processes. The process is started from command line and runs an infinite loop (counting and displaying counter status each second).
<12> Now I'd like to start another process and issue a SIGKILL to the first process. However, this second process doesn't see the first one because I started it in a new terminal window.
<12> Is there a way to run this second process in the same terminal session? (Note, I don't want to have the first process running in the background. I'd like to see its display.
<2> "However, this second process doesn't see the first one because I started it in a new terminal window." doesn't make any sense
<12> Okay, I have PID of the first process
<12> I open a new terminal window
<12> I run the second process, p***ing the PID to it
<12> But the second process doesn't see a process with that PID
<1> well, it should..
<2> are you sure you're not confusing shell job IDs with PIDs?
<12> For example, if I issue kill -SIGKILL PID (PID of the first process) it says that process doesn't exits
<1> what DrNick said
<12> Hmm, I'm not sure
<12> I'm pretty new to this
<2> do these "PIDs" start with % ?
<1> Ariod: give us an example of the process id
<12> They gave us this asignment at college
<1> :o
<1> well, at least you're honest
<12> Okay, PID of the first process is 5875408
<1> thats... large
<12> It's what I get after calling the getpid() function
<2> Ariod: you're running this on a server of some sort?
<2> Ariod: ok, what are you running it on?
<12> Okay, here's what they said in the instructions
<1> lol
<12> Okay that sounded funny
<12> But here it goes
<2> 5875408 isn't a valid PID on a default FC4 installation
<1> DrNick: universities don't generally use FC4 on teaching servers :)
<12> To test the two programs, I need to log in to the college UNIX server and start the first process
<12> Then log in again, and start the second process
<12> I don't want to test it there until I tested it at home
<2> InsomniaCity: it isn't a teaching server, it's his home machine
<12> Okay, here's a different question
<12> I compile the first program, and run it
<12> It counts to infinity, blah blah. Then I open a new terminal window, and issue the ps command
<12> I don't see the first process, why?
<2> different controlling terminal
<12> Is there a way to use the same terminal?
<13> start the first process and put an "&" at the end
<12> Yeah, but then it'll run in the background and I won't see its display
<12> Right?
<2> Ariod: ps takes a variety of options which control how it filters it's output
<14> howdy
<14> anybody have any experience with usb mice that like to randomly jump across the screen?
<15> anyone know a text editor well enough so i could replace
<15> masters { 12.160.224.81; };
<15> with
<15> allow-update { none; };
<15> notify yes;
<16> vi
<16> and pasting stuff in the channel tends to piss people off
<15> for vi, i've come up with this so far, but i can't get it quite right
<15> :%s/.*12.160.*/\nallow-update { none; };\nnotify yes;/
<15> can you help?
<14> Esc, then i
<14> that lets you type and backspace
<14> Esc the wq
<14> that saves and quits
<15> teethlikelions, i know vi that much
<14> :)
<15> i'm trying to do a repeated substitution 192 times
<15> in this case, the whole document
