When I login as root in another shell F1, about 20 KB of buffers are written, then buffer writing dies. > Is your system swapping? With 4 GB of RAM? I sure hope not! I even set Klipper to have 100 entries! But it now that there's no more a setting for its buffer and I'm stuck with pasting a max of ~20 lines! So I installed clipman but, for now, it says there's another clipboard application running, even I clicked Quit, do not restart and so on after I removed the klipper icon. Then thingy won't die until I reboot I suppose. > Linux filesystems have a > last-accessed field for directories which needs to be written out, even > if you don't change the contents of any files.

Well, sending a test message to the group with a copy to myself from altern, I suppose I'll find out the smtp server name, which is impossible in altern's interface. As for the pop... there's a long list of headers. I'll see. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
