where does Fedora 12 store network / samba shares info
Hi all; I was awful close to running out of space on my HD's in my laptop so I bought 2 500GB drives and installed Fedora 12 on them. I've grabbed most of what I needed from the old drives in several cases I had to pull out my new drives, install the old drives, boot into my old install (Fedora 10) and pull info from the system. I've found that I forgot to grab the IP/settings for a samba share (a LACIE network drive) I use fairly often. I can mount the old drives via an external USB enclosure but I don't know where this info would be stored outside of booting into Fedora 10 again and opening Dolphin --> Network --> Samba Shares (if memory serves, it's possible that I set it up originally as a zeroconf share) I really dont want to swap the drives yet again for this. Thoughts?

Fedora 12 nvidia seg fault
Hi All; I just upgraded my Dell M6400 to Fedora 12 I ran into the KDE delay when you click on the task bar bug so I went out and grabbed the (not yet released) xorg server files: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.3-5.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.3-5.fc12.x86_64 This in fact fixed the delay on click issue. However now when I boot my laptop I see this in the boot.log: Checking for module nvidia.ko: [ OK ] Enabling the nvidia driver: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 520: 1248 Segmentation fault "$@" Thoughts?

skype issues on Fedora 11
Hi All; I have a client that uses skype for group IM sessions when we do production release calls. I've installed Skype on my Fedora 11 box but when I click on the 'join public chat' link the group sends out (running firefox) I get this: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (skype) isn't associated with any program." I tried following the directions found here: http://share.skype.com/sites/linux/2006/08/making_skype_links_work.html but it still didn't work. Thoughts?

sound recording with Fedora 11
Hi all; my son (the musician) has Fedora 11 installed on an HP HDX-16 laptop. He wants to record some of his band sessions, we tried using 'sound recorder' and plugging the output of his mixer into the mic input on the laptop. It does record but the sound is fuzzy and to say it was poor quality would be an over-estimate, since it's there but barely audible. Can anyone give us some direction per sound recorders for linux in general and specifically how to debug & correct this issue with the mic input?

wierd KDE issue - a replaced home dir created upon login?
Hi All; I cross-posted to the kde list as well: over the weekend I was poking around in my KDE system settings and I saw that the akonadi server was not running so I started it. All was fine until this morning when I shut down and moved into my home office where I plugged my dual/second monitor like I do every work day. Today however it seems that KDE got confused per my login and somehow created a new /home/kkempter in the place where the old one was. As such all my Desktop files were gone, and ALL my kde settings such as konsole settings, mail prefs, etc were gone! Most everything related to my user (even the display settings, desktop effects, etc) were gone. Luckily I have backups and I was able with some difficulty to get most everything back, however I'm quite concerned that this could happen. A couple of questions.. 1) should I be running the akonadi server (it's not starting by default)? what do I need it for? 2) any thoughts on why the above behaviour would happen?

cannot play DVD's on Fedora 10 386
Hi all; I'm setting up Fedora 10 (i386) on a new laptop for my son. I enabled the rpmfusion repos and did a full update. Then I enabled the linva repo and installed libdvdcss, xine-lib-extras and dependancies I did a chmod 755 on /dev/dvd If we try and play a dvd we get this: The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (Error reading NAV packet.) Any suggestions?

IRC / VM question
Hi all; I have a scenario where I've installed a Fedora 10 (386) VM via vmware on a laptop running Fedora 10 (x86_64). I fire up the VM, connect the VM to a VPN connection and then connect to an IRC server (which is only accessable via the VPN connection). This works ok, however I'd really like to be able to access the IRC channel from my main OS (the linux x86_64 host OS) instead of having to switch desktops to the VM every few seconds to see if I have new messages in the IRC channels. However I don't want to connect the host OS to the VPN since I have other simultaneous network needs that the VPN prevents me from using. Anyone have any thoughts how I can connect IRC via a sort of pass-through from my host OS, thru the Fedora 10 (i386) guest VM and then on to the VPN accessible IRC server?

networkManager is killing me
Hi all; since the last networkManager update I've been having increasing lockups. It's now at the point where more often than not I boot my machine (Dell M6400 running Fedora 10 x86_64), login and within a minute or two the machine locks up and shuts off. The only way I can work now for more than a few minutes is to disable wireless in networkManager. I need to fix this today, I'm thinking about one of the following (which are all ugly, time consuming options): 1) backup my data and install Fedora 11 2) backup my data and install Kubuntu 3) somehow fix nm so I can once again use wireless? Any suggestions?

monitor resolution wierdness
Hi all; I have a Dell M6400 and an Nvidia card. I'm running Fedora 10. My laptop monitor is a 1920x1200 - I also have an external monitor- an Acer X243w that is also 1920x1200 I've used nvidia-settings to configure the second monitor via Twinview When I plug the external monitor into my vga out before I boot the laptop then the screens are beautiful, a font size that I expect from a 1920x1200 monitor on both screens. The system font defaults are fine (most of em are a font size of 9 However if I boot the laptop without the external monitor then the fonts are much larger, in order to have a similar look I need to go into the KDE system settings --> appearance --> Fonts and change them all to 7, and a few (small, toolbar) to 6. Even then my firefox fonts are bigger than I like and I have to use custom settings for Kmail. I'm unclear why I get different fonts when I'm connected to the external monitor. Thoughts?

convert m4a audio files to mp3?
Hi all; My son who has been running a mac for a few years has finally had it and wants to return to the land of Linux. He's copied the entire itunes library/directory from his mac to his new Linux box. How can I convert all these m4a files to mp3? I tried lame but it gives me an 'unsupported format' error.

Fedora 10 and plotters? - OT
Hi All; I'm a database consultant so I'm forever printing large database models onto 25 sheets of letter sized paper and taping them together - tiresome. I've found a used plotter, an HP DesignJet 750C - a 36" color plotter with automatic roll feed and cutter. I walked thru part of the cups add printer setup and the 750c is listed as an option in the printer list. I'm wondering if anyone out there has any experience running an HP plotter via Linux, are there any gotcha's? do I have to tweak anything to tell the printer (and Linux) that I'm printing to 36" paper as opposed to 24"? Will the automatic roll feed and cutter just work? etc..

I have a file called dirlist which is the list of root level directories I want to backup, this is coupled with a shell script (rsync_backup.sh) which runs my desired rsync command for each dirname found in the dirlist file.

KDE 4.2 screensaver
Hi all; I'm running Fedora 10 (x86_64) and KDE 4.2 I set the screensaver to the 'slide show' and under the setup tab I selected a directory of images, I also selected 'Random order' , 'Show names' , and 'Include images from sub-folders' The images are all quite large (shot with a 12.1 Mpx camera) However when the screensaver is running many of the images show up as tiny thumbnail sized images.. Any thoughts on how to fix this ?

fdisk issues - external drive.
Hi All; I'm running Fedora 10 & KDE 4.2 I have a new Lacie 1TB external drive. When I plug it in via USB or eSATA cable it's instantly recognized by Fedora. However I want the drive to contain an ext3 filesystem. So I do this: 1) # fsisk 2) delete all existing partitions 3) create a new primary partition 4) I'm prompted for the partition number - I choose 1 5) Im prompted for the First cylinder - again I choose 1 then Fdisk goes back to the main menu, I'm never prompted for the size. If I print the partition table I see this: Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdc1: 10 MB, 10484736 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x73736572 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1p1 1 18001 83 Linux Start and end both at 1 I suspect is wrong. How do I make fdisk change the ending value so the size is the full size of my 1TB disk?

Setup Firefox so mailto links use Kmail
Hi all; I did the following to setup firefox mailto links to use kmail but it did not work.

update broke NetworkManager
Hi All; I ran a yum update tonite and after a reboot I no longer had a copy of the Network Manager in my system tray. Also I could no longer run the Network Manager (nm-applet) from the command line. It ran but still failed to show up in the system tray. Plus if I ran "ifup etho" I got an error that the network was 'down'. And finally I went to the network device control and it showed no devices. Fortunately I run an rsync backup before I do any updates. I ran an rsync restore of the following directories and everything is back to where it was before the update. bin boot etc lib lib64 lost+found opt root sbin selinux srv usr var Anyone have any thoughts per the Network Manager issue ?

where to place KDE startup commands

firewall + Wireless problems
Hi All; I've setup untangle as a firewall - it works great. It's setup with 192.168.2.1 as the 'gateway' or the begining I.P. range for the DHCP server. So, if I go to 192.168.2.1 I get the untangle admin panel I also want a wireless access point. I'm currently using a netgear VPN fiirewall with a built-in WAP (I'm only wanting the Wireless Access Point). Unfortunately I cannot have the VPN firewall access point on the same subnet as the untangle firewall. The untangle DHCP server serves up IP's from 192.168.2.1 thru 192.168.2.200 I'd like for the WAP to just get another IP and serve up addresses from 192.168.2.201 thru 192.168.2.250 (or so). The WAP however wants to be its own DHCP server and refuses to start with ANYTHING other than a 192.168.x.1 address. Any thoughts on this ? Is this normal, or maybe its simply because I'm forcing a firewall to be only a WAP ? Suggestions per configurations and/or WAP devices ? I did buy a USR model 5451 WAP but it seems to be too tied to M$ Windows, without the M$ windows install CD (according to their suppoer) I should be able to access it at 192.168.2.1 but it doesn't work - even if I try it before my untangle firewall (Directly off the cable modem) Thanks in advance for any advice, thoughts, etc... -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
OT - looking for feedback per development tools
Hi All; We're preparing to embark on a new development project. It will eventually be released dual projects similar to Red Hat with a commercially supported side and a leading edge open source side. The project will pull data from a database and present info to users. We'll need a graph/chart component and a way to generate html, PDF and spreadsheet reports/downloads. It will be a web based interface. Questions: 1) I'm thinking we'll write the initial commercial (closed source) code in C. Anyone have any thoughts/alternative suggestions ? 2) anyone know of a good source of C library routines (something like CPAN) ? 3) Any thoughts on the methods to generate XML via C ? 4) Any suggestions per the generation of the PDF, HTML, etc reports on screen and for download ? maybe php within the web front end? a set of C routines to be called based on basic report parameters? others ?

Fedora 10, KDE4 - dual monitors
Hi All; I've had several issues with my new laptop & Fedora 10 per the nvidia video card so I eventually ended up with a config where I've removed kmod-nvidia (I had tried the driver from the nvidia site as well) and I have an xorg.conf file that specifies a 'vesa' driver. This allows me to have true 1920x1200 resolution but I cannot get dual monitors to work - I cannot even plug in an external monitor and toggle to/from it as the only display via Fn-F8 (this has worked with past laptops running KDE 3.x) So, my question is, how do I go about setting up dual monitors ? Does this require that I go back to the kmod-nvidia driver or can I pull it off via the current 'vesa' driver? Note that if I dont have an xorg.conf file then I get a config where the system reports that it's running at 1920x1200 but in reality it's more like 1280x800. This was the main issue with the kmod-nvidia driver back in December before I removed it. an lspci shows this: lspci | grep -i nvidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 061e (rev a2) and my xorg.conf file looks like this: $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf # Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "on" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # keyboard added by rhpxl Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105+inet" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName"LCD Panel 1920x1200" HorizSync31.5 - 74.5 VertRefresh 56.0 - 65.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor"Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Backup Restore questions/concerns
Hi all;
I've got a new dell laptop I'm trying to setup. Most everything is working
well but I cannot get dual monitor support working. There's a local Linux
install-fest this weekend near me and I plan to attend seeking some help.
However, I use this laptop as my main work computer and I cannot afford for it
to be down, so just in case something we do at install-fest breaks my system
(in fact I had early issue with the nvidia drivers causing me to only see a
blank screen) I want to be able to restore properly.
Here's what I've done so far:
I have a filesystem "/stage" where I'm staging an rsync backup.
I have a script that reads a list of directories and does an rsync. I've
listed all root level (/) directories in this list except for stage, dev and
sys since dev and sys are generated at boot time and stage is where I'm
pushing the backups to. So, my backup scripts look like this:
dirlist:
==
bin
boot
docs
download
etc
home
lib
lib64
lost+found
media
mnt
opt
root
sbin
selinux
srv
tmp
usr
var
rsync_backup.sh:
==
#!/bin/bash
for I in `cat dirlist`
do
echo "[$I]"
echo "=="
rsync -avXA --delete /${I} /stage/backup/rsync
done
rsync_restore.sh:
==
#!/bin/bash
for I in `cat dirlist`
do
echo "[$I]"
echo "=="
rsync -avXA --delete /stage/backup/rsync/${I} /
done
Here's my questions. Is this going to be reliable , i.e. if I have to
restore will it accurately restore the entire system ?
When I run the backup script I see IO errors like this:
home/kkempter/.xsession-errors
IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code
23) at main.c(1040) [sender=3.0.4]
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code
23) at main.c(1040) [sender=3.0.4]
I also see SE Linux warnings like this:
Summary
SELinux is preventing rsync from creating a file with a context of security_t
on a filesystem.
Detailed Description
SELinux is preventing rsync from creating a file with a context of security_t
on a filesystem.
Usually this happens when you ask the cp command to maintain the context of a
file when copying between
file systems, "cp -a" for example. Not all file contexts should be maintained
between the file systems.
For example, a read-only file type like iso9660_t should not be placed on a r/w
system. "cp -P" might be a better solution,
as this will adopt the default file context for the destination.
Allowing Access
Use a command like "cp -P" to preserve all permissions except SELinux context.

Issues with Kontact/Kmail distribution list
Hi all; I'm running Fedora 10 & KDE I go into the address book and create a distribution list, save it as say 'test_dist' This works fine, I can go back and look at it and I see the email addresses I've added to it. While I have the distribution list editor open (in the address book) I can click on the link of the distribution list name and an email compose window pops up with all the email addresses in the to field just as I expect. However: If I click (in the mail window) on 'new message' and type in the name of the new dist list in the to field the name is entered simply as 'test_dist' which should be fine but when I send the mail it attempts to send to "test_d...@myhostname" in my case it tries to go to: test_d...@issac.consistentstate.com (this is my local laptop hostname) and of course it fails to send (rather I get a permanent failure email back) Thoughts ? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
