Hello,
I got a new Dell Latitude laptop with a touchpad and installed a
fresh F15-XFCE. The computer is difficult to use, because it is almost
impossible to type anything without touching the touchpad, and the
slightest touch will result in a unwanted and sometimes disastrous
mouse click (in contrast with the mouse keys, which need to be pressed
rather forcefully).
I already installed gpointing-device-settings, which does not
recognize the touchpad.
I saw some instructions to install two more packages with "pacman".
I don't know that one and Google only finds the arcade game, and I'm
not sure whether the instructions are only for Gnome or also for XFCE.
What can I do? Thanks!
Take care
Oliver

I am not sure the gpointing-device-settings utility works any more. But
to disable "double tap to click", you can try this in a terminal.
$ synclient TapButton1=0
To get a list of all the options just type synclient.
To execute this everytime you login to XFCE put it in
~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc as a shell script.
$ cat ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
synclient TapButton1=0
Hope this helps.

You don't have to live in a war zone to have a power supply fail. You
don't have to live in a hurricane zone to have a thunderstorm knock out
power.
We live in a city. Just 2 weeks ago a building 50 meters away from our
had a fire. While putting out the fire the fire department determined
it safer for them to cut power to the area. They did so without warning
The problem is that many people take their electric power for granted.
Much like you, they think they will never lose power so they don't

Apparently you don't have cats and/or children. I have cats....this
*has* happened to me:
http://www.simonscat.com/Films/Cat-Mouse/
I won't use btrfs until it has the tools to support recovery and a
proven track record. At this time I don't see the need to take the risk.

If you're so eager to use btrfs you can always build the kernel from
source to configure in support for the driver, as well as build the
userspace tools like the formatter from source.
To do so would be very useful to the community, as you would then be a
tester, if you were so kind as to report bugs. If you found no bugs
at all, well you could report your success as well, and thereby
encourage its adoption by Fedora sooner.
That's quite a different thing from making it the default for
end-users who have no clue what a filesystem is. I'd like to see
Linux pass "The Mom Test", that is, for my mom to be able to install
and use it without any trouble. She wouldn't know what a filesystem
was if it bit her. It was only a month ago that I finally convinced
her to let me teach her what a directory was!
Neither have I *ever* been able to convince my mother to let me teach
her how to back up her own documents. If she's going to use a new
filesystem, it better be mature.

May not, as not all Dells use a Synaptics touchpad. My Dell Inspiron
N7110 doesn't. So, here's what I did:
1. Create "/usr/local/bin/flipdelltouchpad" containing the following
shell script:
------------------------------ CUT HERE -----------------------------
#!/bin/bash
touchpadString="PS/2 Generic Mouse"
touchpadID=$(xinput list | grep "$touchpadString" | awk -F " " '{print
$6}' | awk -F "=" '{print $2}')
touchpadEnabled=$(xinput list-props $touchpadID | grep "Device Enabled"
| awk -F ":" '{print $2}')
# Check for arguments on the command line
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then # Any arguments?
arg1=$(echo $1 | tr [:upper:] [:lower:])
# Yes, convert to lower case
cliArg=1 # Set flag that we have one
else # There is no argument.
cliArg=0 # Clear flag
fi
if [ $cliArg -eq 1 ]; then # Did we get an argument?
if [ $arg1 = 'on' ]; then # Yes, was it "on"?
xinput --set-prop $touchpadID "Device Enabled" 1
# Yes, enable the touchpad
elif [ $arg1 = 'off' ]; then # No, was it "off"?
xinput --set-prop $touchpadID "Device Enabled" 0
# Yes, disable the touchpad
else # None of the above, so...
sleep 1 # ...sleep one second, exit
fi
else # No argument, toggle state
if [ $touchpadEnabled -eq 1 ]; then # Enabled now?
xinput --set-prop $touchpadID "Device Enabled" 0
# Yes, so disable it
else # Must be disabled, so...
xinput --set-prop $touchpadID "Device Enabled" 1
# ...enable it
fi
fi
------------------------------ CUT HERE -----------------------------
(code borrowed from Brendan Dugan, give props where they're due).
2. Save the file and chmod it 755 so it can be executed.
3. Go into Applications->Keyboard and select the "Application Shortcuts"
tab.
4. Add a new keystroke (I used Fn-F3 which will toggle the touchpad on
and off under Winblows but is ignored in Xfce) and tell it to run that
/usr/local/bin/dellfliptouchpad script when that key is hit.
Then, when you hold down "Fn" and press "F3", the touchpad will toggle
on and off. The script also supports passing in an argument, too, so
/usr/local/bin/flipdelltouchpad on
will enable the touchpad and
/usr/local/bin/flipdelltouchpad off
will disable it.
Note that on my Inspiron this does not turn the LED on and off, but
that's a small price to pay. I'll sort that out sometime, but for
now I'm happy.

LOL, very cute. We used to have a cat, I had to train it not to bite on
the wires under my workbench. I included some bare wires in the bundle,
with a 9 volt battery on the end.
They get desperate when they want feeding, though (like Simon's cat). I
swear that ours was on the verge of speech, one day.

running a few tests in labs e.g. for generating benchmark results is
not the same as testing for stability. i am really curious if your
statements are irony or meant seriously. how many machines with how
much storage and how much io do you run with it for what timeframe?

lol. Well... no one is holding you back from running it... but if you
tried to bring that up as arguments why others should run it i have to
honestly say you failed big time, and since you are lobbying that fs
that strongly i am curious:
How many machines with how much storage and how much IO (what
percentage read/write) do you run it on for what timeframe?
Why do you run it?
Which versions do you deploy?
How critical are those machines to your infrastructure?
kind regards,

Hi,
I have a problem with building my SCTP program using crosstool. Please let
me know how to configure to be able to build SCTP program by crosstool. I
get the following error while building my SCTP program:-
sctpsrvr.c:18:26: error: netinet/sctp.h: No such file or directory
sctpsrvr.c: In function 'main':
sctpsrvr.c:25: error: storage size of 'initmsg' isn't known
sctpsrvr.c:45: error: 'SCTP_INITMSG' undeclared (first use in this function)
sctpsrvr.c:45: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
sctpsrvr.c:45: error: for each function it appears in.)
I am using FC14. Please note that I am able to compile and run my SCTP
program without using crosstool. Also, I am not using lksctp-tools for
SCTP. I am using SCTP as a kernel built in module that comes with kernel
for FC14. I have been able to install SCTP headers on my system, so they
end up in /usr/include/netinet/, but I am not sure how to install them for
the crosstool toolchain. I even tried to replace netinet/sctp.h with
/usr/include/netinet/sctp.h but I got the exact same error as above. I am
not sure, how to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.

I want to connect Fedora 16 to a NIS/YP/NFS server that has users from
500 and up.
I can not modify the server at this point, I can create a separate NIS
server and direct all F16 machines to this.
Users will log on to many machines at the same time, so a uid
translating NFS server sounds scary.
I see these possible solutions:
1) Some NFS hack to allow user mapping on the client
This is the best variant if it works, but modern nfs clients seams
to have removed all usable features.
2) Adding login.defs in anaconda %pre, but the /etc I see in %pre is
not the one? This means format the drivers with raid etc and mounting
them in the %pre (oh joy)
This is not a serious suggestion?
3) Installing F15 then upgrade
Installation will take much longer.
4) Hack anaconda to allow for file injection
Fun hack probably a nightmare to debug
5) Replace shadow-utils.rpm with my own on the installation source.
Please elaborate on alternative solutions and my suggested plausible ones.

Try installing with a kickstart file. The fedoraproject wiki has
