FC12 udev rules

2010-02-25 Thread T. Horsnell
Hi all, I need to set up a custom rule to give me mode 666 on a custom USB device (or on all the otherwise un-handled USB devices). I used to do this (in FC9) by modifying ruleset 50-udev-default.rules at the libusb entry (I know this was not the 'correct' way, but I could never understand udev eno

FC12+control-center-extras -> DEATH

2010-03-03 Thread T. Horsnell
Hi all, Having just spent a nice few days moving over to FC12 I thought I'd add the final touch and install control-center-extras so that I could regain focus control over my windows. (Why was this removed to an optional extra I wonder?) The result of doing this is that I now get millions of inst

FIXED: FC12+control-center-extras -> DEATH

Fixed by updating nautilus. Yes, I should have applied all the updates immediately after the install, but as usual we were in a rush. More haste, *much* less speed in this case. I live, and sometimes learn... Cheers, Terry > Hi all, > > Having just spent a nice few days moving over to FC12 I tho

FC12+selinux+dump/restore

2010-03-23 Thread T. Horsnell
Hi all, I'm using the Live version of FC12 to produce a bootable clone of an idle FC12 system to a USB stick. One step involves using 'dump' to dump the contents of the idle root fiesystem and piping the result to 'restore', to build the stick copy of root. This all basically works, except that re

OT: linux clone() and errno

2010-09-07 Thread T. Horsnell
Apologies for the OT query - if you know a better place to ask, please tell me. If I use clone() to create a new thread in a process, the child thread has the same errno as the parent. Is there any way round this, or do I have to move to pthreads? Cheers, Terry -- users mailing list users@lists.
