When I unpacked the download none of the shell files were executable. 
I assume that I need to add executable permission to some of the
executable files to run from home directory?

So interesting data. I did download from Mozilla.org and the tar ball
has execute permissions when I list it. That was silly to not check the
tar ball. 
I will unpack again and check it. My umask appears to be set properly.

FC13 yum problem -- GPG

2010-11-27 Thread Tony Foster
I could use some help. 
I updated to FC13 from FC11 using a new disc I added to system. 
System now crashes and locks up when it goes into suspend state. 
not responsive to keyboard or front panel of computer without hard
reset. When I boot FC11 all is still fine. 
I tried to run update assuming this was a problem in the distro but 
Yum dies because of GPG signatures for some rpmfusion packages. 
I am trying to find data on how to get the GPG data for the rpmfusion
repository. I tried yum man pages and repo man pages. 
How the heck do you get gpg data for a repository. 
I could just edit the yum.config to remove the repo but that would leave
some packages I wanted hanging and some of them may be effecting the 
suspend problem.

I did not have the keys and the RPMfusion was configured by install. 
I have looked at web site and I am adding keys thanks 
I think this should fix things.

FC13 suspend hangs in 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.x86_64

2010-12-04 Thread Tony Foster
HW  - intel motherboard with E5300 CPU 4GB memory 
35 Gb available on root disc 

system suspend and hibernate worked fine in FC11 
and works fine in FC13 with kernel 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64

However system hangs with kernel 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.x86_64 when
transitioning into suspend. 

I scanned my email archive for any mention of this problem. 
Has anyone else had a problem with 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.x86_64 and suspend. 
Any advice on how to fix it?

Where are the syslogs and how do you dump the hardware profile? 
I used to know unix pretty well but I have been out of the game 
for about 5 years.

fc 11 evolution Error while storing folder inbox

2011-02-02 Thread Tony Foster
"Error while storing folder inbox 
Summary and folder mismatch even after a sync"

I am getting an error in Evolution mail 
this is in FC11 but I thought I would ask if anyone has seen it or their
is a way around it. 
Looks like I need to rebuild the database but I do not see a tool for
that.

Iphone failure to charge on FC14

2011-10-14 Thread Tony Foster
Just recently when I connect my Iphone to my linux box to charge 
I get a message on the Iphone 
"Charging is not supported with this accessory" 
I have connected both my Iphone and my wife's to various usb ports on
the off chance one of the port has a bad connector. 
I have connected thumb drives and a USB portable hard drive to the unit
and both work fine. So probably not the basic hardware. 
I have tried a cold boot on the Linux box. 
I connect the Iphones to my microsloth laptop and they work fine. 
I tried to reboot the Iphone and connecting it again and get the same
message. 
This looks like a bug in the USB power negotiation process when
attaching an Iphone. 

Anyone seen this before? 

Currently running FC14 with all latest revisions. 
kernal 2.6.35.14-96 fc14x86_64
Gnome 2.32.0
Pentium dual core 5300 2.6 Ghz 
Intel mother board

Re: Iphone failure to charge on FC14

2011-10-14 Thread Tony Foster
The Iphone charged just fine a month ago. 
I have not used my computer to charge sinse then. 
The computer mother board is only a year old and 
and it supports 6 USB ports. I am only plugging in one item. 

Also as mentioned it powers a USB external drive just fine. 
My 6 year Laptop will charge the phone so I am more inclined to believe
this is a USB driver issue. A lot of the USB protocol is buried in the
driver.
