For just testing the webcam video I used the 'ucview' command (it's in
the ucview package). As mentioned in the old thread, I have a Logitech
webcam, on a PC not a notebook though, and the ucview command detects
the webcam fine, and displays what the webcam sees (basically me looking
at my monitor!).

I've been using skype from home to work using both audio and video. The
only problem I had was getting audio to work, one setting in skype
needed to be changed, then audio worked.

Skype package is: skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586

Domino is moderatly expensive and it is well supported by
the vendor.   Put them to work....!

 http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/ls-Internet_messaging_with_the_SMTP_MTA/index.html

If yum/ rpm demand that you install postfix or sendmail pick one
and just "chkconfig $it off".

But seriously, Domino/Lotus has a rich support community
and while we can speculate on what it is and is not
the vendor has facts.  Put the vendor to work....

With any non-FOSS driver you accept that if you have a problem there are a fair
percentage of developers who will not look at dump from a tainted kernel. The
most recent FC10 drivers seem to work reliably (that was NOT true with the
initial install), but are not accelerated. I believe my last look showed
radeondrmfb, and I considered flgrx but decided reliable was enough, I don't run
games or video benchmarks on my laptop, just boring work stuff, which is fast
enough. It will run flash 1280x800 without a problem.

Thanks, but I can't find any newer version than 2.0.0.72 and I can't see how you
enable video on this version.

The package I am running is skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586 (albeit on an F10
x86_64 box).

I don't think I had to enable it as such, skype automatically found the
webcam as a usb device. However, right-clicking on the skype icon and
selecting 'options' shows a 'Video Devices' section. Within there there
are tick-boxes to enable video, and select the video device.

all I want to do is add a second(static) ip (device alias 1) to my
interface in addition to the dhcp address all ready being procured .
I can find no combinations of 'Network Manager' settings that allows
this to happen .
If I plumb the interface manually after "Network Manager' is finished
initializing it works fine .
If I turn off NM I get this in the log
  "localhost nm-system-settings:    ifcfg-rh: Ignoring connection
'System eth0 ' and its device because NM_CONTROLLED was false."
  "localhost nm-system-settings:    ifcfg-rh: Ignoring connection
'System eth0:1' and its device because NM_CONTROLLED was false."

this should not be this difficult

I have a .thunderbird email client folder on a Fedora 7 x86_64 system
that I need to move to a Fedora 10 x86 system. It occurs to me that if I
move this, and then start thunderbird on the new system, I might have
trouble because of 64-bit code. Also trouble with updating Enigmail. I
want to be sure I can sign and encrypt email messages. Am I better off
just moving

.thunderbird/[salt].default/Mail/*
.thunderbird/[salt].default/abook.mab

What file(s) store the email account information?

Or, to make a long story short, can I just tar up all of .thunderbird
and not worry about conflicts on the 32-bit system?

You're hardcoding a keycode number, but evdev uses different keycodes.

It's not a bug, you have to click on "Refresh
Components/Versions/Milestones". They made it an explicit pushbutton
because having this done automatically was too slow, people did not

I just noticed that I do not yet have a .gnupg directory on my Fedora 10
system. I haven't tried to create a gpg keyring on it yet. I want to
migrate sensibly from a Fedora 7 system to a separate Fedora 10 system.
Can I go ahead and copy the .gnupg directory from the old system to the
new one? Or should I attempt to create a fresh .gnupg directory on the
Fedora 10 system and selectively copy elements of the .gnupg directory
from the old system?

Thanks

There should be noting specific to 32-bit or 64-bit in your .thunderbird
directory.  I know, I upgraded an FC6.i386 system to F9.x86_64 and my
Thunderbird just plain continued to work.

You could just move the entire .thunderbird/[salt].default directory
lock stock and barrel (AFAIK).  Make sure you edit the
.thunderbird/profiles.ini file to properly reflect your default profile.

> What file(s) store the email account information?

They are all buried down in the profile directory structure.

That's my thought.  Good luck!

For the Free Software drivers (i.e. NOT the proprietary fglrx):
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon

In short, r1xx up to r5xx series are now supported with 2D (XRender) and 3D
(OpenGL) acceleration. In marketing names, that's up to X1950 (rule of
thumb: if it doesn't have "HD" in it, it should be supported - the HD*
models (r6xx/r7xx) and the X2300 HD which appears to be some sort of hybrid
between the r5xx architecture and some r6xx or r7xx one are not supported).

Gosh, you are right. I don't know how I missed seeing that. Found my old webcam
and sure enough it worked right away. Thanks a lot for opening my eyes.

acer use these settings as default on the aspire one in linpus (which is

You must have been mislead somehow. With preupgrade, the system remains

I can believe that!  Where can I find the correct codes?

If I can use those "Windows" keys and disable Caps Lock I will be satisfied.

Because packages need to be patched to integrate with the rest of the
distribution and the kernel is no exception.

Because Fedora is about shipping new technologies which sometimes have to be
backported to stable releases and the kernel is no exception.

And to ask back: Why should it?

One of Fedora's goals is to stay close to upstream (and in fact some other
distributions have a lot more kernel patches than Fedora does), but that
doesn't mean we ship completely vanilla upstream software without regards
to things like system integration. If we just did that (and if it even
worked, which is not always the case), what would be the purpose of the
distribution?
