Would someone running Emacs / KDE / F7 / x86_64 do a quick test?


Does your emacs "maximize" button work properly?

That is, when you click on the middle upper right button of the emacs
window (with the "square" icon) to maximise the window, and then click
to resize back to normal, does the latter work?

Thanks.

Dean

Yum Dependency problem

I'm trying to update but get this error

Total download size: 40 M
Downloading Packages:
Running rpm_check_debug
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
Package python-reportlab needs python(abi) = 2.4, this is not available.
Package metakit needs python(abi) = 2.4, this is not available.
Package PyRTF needs python(abi) = 2.4, this is not available.
Package python-sqlite2 needs python(abi) = 2.4, this is not available.
Package python-imaging-tk needs python(abi) = 2.4, this is not available.
Complete!

My rpm database says this

[david <at> reddwarf ~]$ sudo rpm -q python
python-2.5-12.fc7.i386

Why does yum want python-2.4 when 2.5 is installed.
If it is required where do I find it?

  Thanks  david

You want to increase the seek time?

Fanky, I think you're nuts. I would rather zero seek time;-)

Don't imagine you are going to get anything like 3 Gbytes/sec. Possibly 
your system memory isn't that quick. If you want disks that go that 
fast, they're available; IBM uses them on its zSeries, but those cost 
serious dosh.

   its very easy actually - the only trick is finding the correct host 
name(s) - you may need to poke around a few times in dns to make sure you 
have all the hosts/ip addresses. For each host that you may be forwarding to 
add 1 line to sendmail /etc/mail/access file as follows (this is 1 line - the 
mailer may wrap it). 

So if you isp gave you smtp.isp.com do a 'host' on it and make sure you cover 
all the ip addresses and the hostnames they reverse to - 1 per line.
#
# This goies in /etc/mail/access
#
AuthInfo:<ISP_MAIL_HOST or IP Address>  "U:<your isp user name>" "I:<your isp 
user name" "P:<your isp password>"  

then rebuild. Note if you haven't done so you will need to

This is the "correct" way to do it.

In a later email, Les, you recommend masquerading. This will probably 
work for Dario, but it has the disadvantage that it only works if 
there's a one-one mapping: if debian <at> here is the same as 
debian <at> westnet.com.au, my Internat Access Provider.

In my case that's not so, and if debian <at> westnet.com.au does exist, then 
it's certainly not me.

As a layman, I think it doesn't look good. I do not like those words, 
"device error."

On the basis that I had what looked like terminated errors on my laptop 
yesterday (could not read _any_ files) but it seems okay after cycling 
power, I suggest you shut down and turn the port off at the wall.

After a minute - no more - restart the thing and run smartctl against 
all the ATA/SATA drives.

You have packages that have a dependency for a specific version of
Python. It happens to be an older version then what you have
installed. The packages may or may not work with the newer version.
The requirement for version 2.4 may be because the packager knows it
will not work with other versions, or because the packages made a
mistake when giving the requirements. (=2.4 instead of >=2.4)

Generally, that's a server-parsed webpage.  What you get is the
generated HTML.  If you've saved a webpage, through a server and web
browser, you might try just renaming it to .html file, so that a few
things expect the file to by HTML.

If you're working with the source files, directly, it's rather likely
that they won't display in a browser in the way that you want.  But
they're just plain text files for editing.

FWIW, the SATA spec is 3Gbits/sec and I believe that hdparm is reporting
MBytes/sec.
