check to make sure the yum.conf you have does not have the
distroverpkg package defined overriding the default.

By default yum sets distroverpkg at what provides the redhat-release
you can check that on your system with this
rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release  --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n"

all you should see listed is fedora-release-9-5.transition

Firefox3 silently fails to save file (Fedora 8)

2008-12-10 Thread wwp
Hello all,


I noticed that with Firefox 3 (3.0 as well as 3.0.4 from remi's repos)
in my Fedora 8 sometimes silently fails to save a file (downloaded).

This happens when I attempt to save the download to a directory where I
don't have write access.. easy to fix (PEBCAK), but IMO *silently*
failing is a bug from Firefox 3.

Did anyone notice that behaviour?

I saw this before.

The last kde update before FC6 went EOL caused the same problem.

Those who still have an FC6 around can check that (kde version 3.5.8-1).

It was fixed in the next release for F7 and F8, but FC6 missed it.

No, I don't see that behavior.  Can't say I normally try saving to a
directory I don't own...but when I just tried it did say it could be
complete the operation.

Gnome and kde terminals in F10

2008-12-10 Thread Paulo Cavalcanti
Hi,

in gnome, all the open gnome-terminal are not saved
when logging out, and are lost when returning to a new section.
(yes, I have the "Automatic remember running applications when logging out"
checked).

In kde I, cannot use konsole transparency anymore. I tried
konsole --force-transparency, but no difference (in gnome I have
transparency). This is an Intel onboard video.

Any workaround?

That was a completely different problem from the one we have now, even if

I'm talking of those you don't get the source for obviously.

That looks like you for some reason got bits scrambled on the SATA cable.
That can happen very occasionally with SATA and isn't fatal (it's

And we then come back. Generally speaking smartutils will tell you if you
have a drive problem and can ask the drive about that. If you only get
these very very rarely I wouldn't be too worried. If they keep popping up
it may be worth further investigation, cable checking etc.

Yes it does, I've also found that using vga=0x361 works as well and uses
the proper resolution (1280x800).  However, I was under the impression

Plymouth to GDM and perhaps logging in problematic.  So far this has not
been the case, but I have noticed the mode transitions between Plymouth
and GDM (the 'flicker').  


Correct. If you fall back to using framebuffer mode, then you will still 
see flicker. Only when using KMS, will you not see that. That will come 
in a future update for more chipsets.

Good to know. This resolution has the same aspect ratio that I use here, 
though with a different resolution. Where did you get this information? 
Were there other values/resolutions for Intel chipsets?


vga=ask will tell you. There is in kernel documentation for more details

Or crap disc drives?  I won't touch western digital drives, any more.
I've had several of them die with a very short life span, in several
different computers.

Overheating is also a problem, some of them get damn hot, and start
behaving badly.  Putting a fan in front of the drives in one of my
systems solved random computer stuff-ups.

But if you have a drive killing system, I'd try and find the cause,
rather than just put up with it.

Now i am not sure about this (since I don't use gnome[1]), but since this was 
'try deux', I'll venture a possible guess. It may/may not work

a. make sure you have gconf-editor installed
b. fire up gconf-editor
c. go to Edit->Find, type in nautils, select 'search also in key values'
d. look for the most likely place where nautilus can be disabled and change 
accordingly. AFAICT, it would make sense to remove it from 
/desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list but I could be wrong.
e. report back if this does it for you.

HTH

Do you just mean stopping Nautilus from drawing the desktop display?  Or
just stop it drawing some things onto the desktop.

You can run gconf-editor  
Navigate into its /apps/nautilus/desktop
Turn off some "visible" options.

Navigate into its /apps/nautilus/desktop
Turn off a "show desktop" option (for a more extreme option).

That'll give you a blank desktop, though Nautilus is still available as
a file browser application.

If you mean changing window managers, that's another thing.  Someone
else might be able to advise on that.  If you still want to run Gnome,
but differently.

Well, one of number of things things:

2) If the API for libcap.so.2 is incompatible with what your

libpcap.so.1, build it yourself, and install it locally.


3) Find an old RPM and install it and hope that it works.

Sometimes there are compatibility versions of libraries available in 
one or more of the repos, but a "yum search libcap.so.1" for me 
doesn't find anything.




A further option considering "Miredo is an open-source Teredo IPv6

And there is the crux of the problem. If it is not a plug-n-pay build,

How to determine cause of computer freezing.

2008-12-10 Thread Antonio Olivares
Dear fellow fedora users,

I thought I had found a solution to a computer Asus Motherboard, 1.25/1.5 GB 
RAM, AMD 64 Dual core processor, freezing with kernel 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64. 
 I boot it with acpi=off parameter and it works mostly.  Yesterday, I connected 
an external usb modem to connect to the internet.  For about a minute or two 
the machine continued to work, but then it froze.  I booted two more times only 
to find out the machine froze again :(

when I ran dmesg, I saw the errors that are believed to be Xorg's fault:

Is there a way of booting like in debug mode, to see what causes all these 
problems.  I boot slax linux live cd, and I can surf the net, I can do all the 
things that I can't with Fedora without any problems not even the Xorg errors.  
Advice/Suggestions/Comments are very much appreciated and welcomed.

But the more top-level question is WHY  Isn't the Fedora built-in
IPv6 networking up to the task?


And if you are on a v4 network and need v6 connectivity? That is 
Miredo's roll. It is a transition mechinism. Lots of discussions about 
it at the IETF meeting last month in the IPv6OPS workgroup.


Actually, I am working on a project that is using HIP (infrahip.hiit.fi) 
over IPv6 (with Miredo where needed), doing secure mobility and NAT 
traversal (Miredo over ICE). SIP and P2PSIP are my apps for this.


What has driven me to even spend time with F10 is two-fold: The 2.6.27 
kernel has the IPsec ESP BEET mode patch, I no longer have to work on 
patching the kernel or running HIP in userspace. Hopefully some of the 
problems I have had with my OQOs (www.oqo.com) will just work with F10 
(I almost have suspend/resume working). Otherwise, I would just be using 
Centos, as part of my 'model' is to be production for this.

You can try to set up a symlink:

Usually newer versions of libraries are backwards compatible with older

Did not work. Thanks for the idea.


If not:

I am behind a firewall here, and no reason to setup any ipv6 stuffs yet, but 
something has enabled it, now apparently causing amanda to fail also.  What 
the heck?

More and more, fedora is turning into one grand denial of service.  Its 
getting old, fast!

Thanks for any hints to fix this, it is probably one common cause. ipv6 where 
it isn't wanted.

I can only guess here, but something like EDID info going

You might also want to download memtest86+ from

If you turn up the volume on your speakers to the max and max out all
the relevant software volume sliders you will hear faint sound coming
from the speakers.  It appears that pulseaudio has a scaling problem
when talking to HD audio.

This bug has been around for almost a year.  Here is the first hit
that google coughed up for me:

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/192040

The fix is to remove all packages related to pulseaudio.

iocharset on fc10 mount -o option

I installed the Fedora 10,

when I mount this vfat partition with -o iocharset option,
I found that no matter "iocharset" setting to any charset, it uses utf8! 
Is this buggy of fc10?

Currently these will not innstall because of missing dependencies:
PackageKit-yum = 0.3.12-1.fc9 
PackageKit-udev-helper = 0.3.12-1.fc9
libpackagekit-glib.so.11
PackageKit-libs >= 0.3.11 
PackageKit-glib = 0.3.12-1.fc9


Is it just too early or am I missing something? Pun intended.

Your excellencies,

I have a brand new install of F10 on a reasonably fast desktop.  The
only apps are FF 3.0.4 that came with the install and VNC, also came
with the install.

It's painful to watch the screen repaint.  Through googling, I saw

anyone has any idea?

Network Manager PPTP Incorrect Routes

2008-12-10 Thread Garry T. Williams
When I connect to my VPN using Network Manager, I end up with the wrong route 
table.  Here's what I start with:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0 0  0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 0  0 eth0

After connecting, I get this:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
65.237.0.254192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH   0 0  0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0 0  0 eth0
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0  0 ppp0

The 65.237.0.254 (obfuscated) is my VPN server.  I don't think it should appear 
in my route table.  There's no reason for that.  Also, the default route has 
been changed to ppp0.  I don't want that.  The nm-applet pretends to let me 
"ignore automatically obtained routes" but that doesn't affect the default 
route change.  From my /var/log/messages file, I can see the endpoint of the 
tunnel:

Dec 10 08:13:06 localhost pppd[5046]: local  IP address 10.6.250.118
Dec 10 08:13:06 localhost pppd[5046]: remote IP address 10.6.250.25

I would expect the 10.6.250.25 to appear in the route table, if anything.

Here's what I do manually to get back to normal:

sudo route add -net 10.6.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 dev ppp0
sudo route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1
sudo route del -net default dev ppp0

Now I have:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
64.238.111.254  192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH   0 0  0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0 0  0 eth0
10.6.0.00.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0  0 ppp0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 0  0 eth0

and all works fine.

The nm-applet doesn't have a way to control my default route and won't let me 
route my private networks via an interface -- the routes I can add insist on an 
IP address for the gateway.

Is this a bug?  How can I manually configure my routes in a configuration file?

By linking to 32-bit libraries? Multilib support is precisely for this
situation, as far as I'm aware.

I've never had a 32-bit app fail to run on my 64-bit system, e.g.
32-bit Firefox works fine (though I now use the 64-bit version).

I have two machines - F8 and F10.

On the F8 machine, my main X session is on Ctrl-Alt-F7, as expected.
However, my wife has an X session running on Ctrl-Alt-F9, which she got
via "Switch User".  We have been going back and forth like that for weeks.

On my F10 machine, my main X session is on Ctrl-Alt-F1, as expected.
However, Ctrl-Alt-F2 (or "switch user") bring me to a console login.
Trying to "startx" tells me that "Server is already active for display
0" and recommends deleting the /tmp/.X-lock file.  I don't want to do
that and disable my main session; I want a second X session as another
user.  Any of the Ctrl-Alt-Fn combinations don't seem to help here.

Is this no longer possible in F10?  The upgrade of my home desktop
depends upon this functionality.

enable "desktop effects" (i.e. KWin compositing) in systemsettings (or use
compiz-kde, but KWin is preferred) to get support for transparency.

cups server

2008-12-10 Thread Craig White
For years now, I have used a Linux server to provide print services to
networks for various clients whether Linux, Macintosh or Windows and it
has worked well.

One of my clients got a Konica-Minolta BizHub C550 and the Macintosh
computers had a problem with certain features - most notably, scaling to
fit while landscape and so we downloaded the Macintosh specific client
driver and PPD seems to fix that issue EXCEPT that it specific to
Macintosh.

At the top of the PPD, it lists...

*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C650/PDEs/KONICA
MINOLTA C650 Output.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C650/PDEs/KONICA
MINOLTA C650 Finishing.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C650/PDEs/KONICA
MINOLTA C650 Tray.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C650/PDEs/KONICA
MINOLTA C650 Cover.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C650/PDEs/KONICA
MINOLTA C650 PerPage.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C650/PDEs/KONICA
MINOLTA C650 Stamp.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C650/PDEs/KONICA
MINOLTA C650 ImageQuality.plugin"
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript
0 /Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C650/Filters/psToKMC650PS"

so when I load this particular PPD into cups on Linux, there is no such
path and obviously no such plugins.

While I could probably copy the 'plugins' from the Macintosh as I have
copied the PPD, I need to reconcile this for all the Linux users as well
as the Macintosh users.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed so I can have happy
users without running around to each Macintosh to install this Macintosh
specific driver and thus render the cups server obsolete for Macintosh
users?

But if I can get some good hand-holding, I could build this rpm. Where 
do I put the Judy c library after downloading if from sourceforge (where 
I was pointed to for it)? I hope it will work 'out of the box'!


I am also building this on Centos, and already tried to do a 'make rpm' 
and it failed. And I don't see a spec file (which might be part of the 
reason for the failure). So I expect 'make rpm' to fail in F10 as well. 
So a little guidance would help.

Error with updates addressing PackageKit issues

2008-12-10 Thread Doctor Who
Since yesterday there have been PackageKit package updates available
for Fedora 10 which I assume address the issues a number of people
have been reporting.  However, since yesterday, when trying to update
I get the following error:

Missing Dependency: libpackagekit-glib.so.10 is needed by package
gnome-packagekit-0.3.9-8.fc10.i386 (installed)

Does this mean that I need to un-install this package, or is there a
problem with the mirror or something else entirely that causes this
issue?

Thanks.

A further option considering "Miredo is an open-source Teredo IPv6

OP know that they need more 'devel' packages and that the OP 
understands what the configure script is asking for.


And there is the crux of the problem. If it is not a plug-n-pay build, 
it will take me a day to pull off, and I have other fish to fry on this 
project right now. I will try and reach the builder and get them to look 
into this.




As I don't have need for Miredo nor do I have an F10 install setting around 
yet, there is no point in me pulling Miredo sources and trying... BUT
Often if you pull the source of a project, untar it, and type ./configure; it 
will either fully configure and be ready for  a `make;make install` or spew 
out a 'could not find package BLAA' [which means you need to do `yum install 
BLAA-devel`] and have it figured out in less than an hour.  If Miredo uses 
pretty much standard libraries, it is unlikely that you will even need to 
install any extra devel packages.


i.e., give it a go ... I think you could be lucky :)

> Codec: Motorola Si3054

Hi Salvatore.

I think that the problem is with the codec, which is for a sound component on 
a modem. There are some problematic drivers that insist on grabbing card0, 
and as the actual soundcard uses card0, the soundcard is not able to be 
initiated.

You could check this out on your FC 7 install. In a terminal type as below, 
and you should see a different codec listed, which is the actual one for the 
soundcard, and would be why sounds are working on FC7, and earlier. If that 
is so, we now need to stop the Motorola one grabbing card0.

grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec*

The easiest thing to try is to add a line to /etc/modprobe.conf, if it exists. 
If modprobe.conf doesn't exist on F10, create the file, and add a line like 
the example below.

options snd-usb-audio index=-2

You'll need to change "snd-usb-audio" for the driver that is for this modem. 
The -2 means that instead of the driver grabbing card0, it will use any other 
slot available, apart from card0, thereby allowing the actual soundcard to 
use card0.

Type /sbin/lsmod in a terminal, and see if you can see the module for this 
modem. It will probably have an "m" at the end of it's name. If you can 
identify it, exchange snd-usb-audio on the example line above with the one 
you think is correct. Next, pray, and then reboot, and see if the sounds work 
on F10.

Would you post me the full output from running /sbin/lsmod. It may help me if 
this problem shows up in the future on someone else's machine.

Also would you say if /etc/modprobe.conf exists on a fresh install of F10, or 
whether you have had to create the file.

All the best.

Nigel.

Isn't it the case that all "normal" multimedia packages require pulseaudio to

I should have mentioned that the error message received was from yumex
and had nothing to do with PackageKit itself.  So perhaps the original
question remains.

Yes. -- I had another machine in the past where this was a problem. NIS didn't 
work after boot, but when I manually restarted ypbind it started working. No 
such luck this time.

> Q2: can you ping the NIS server or its backups?

Yes.

> Q3: portmapper running?
> chkconfig --list portmap

No, but it looks like portmap was superseded by rpcbind, which is running:

  # /etc/init.d/rpcbind status
  rpcbind (pid 2828) is running...

Also, rpcinfo reports several portmapper services.

> another command to add to your yp test suite: ypwhich

# /etc/init.d/ypbind status
SIOCADDRT: File exists
ypbind (pid  22270) is running...
# ypwhich
ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind

This doesn't change if I stop both iptables and ip6tables (and then restart 
ypbind).

Another thing I tried: /etc/init.d/portreserve stop and chkconfig portreserve 
off
but that didn't make a difference either.

I also ran yum install ypserv, without actually turning it on. No luck still.

Re: problem with liberation fonts

2008-12-10 Thread David Hláčik
Well no thanks, this is not a solution. I like them Medium hinted as they are.

Kevin, are you maintainer of freetype-freeworld?

As you may known, Ubuntu is using patches to cairo and libXft to
achieve smooth, nice fonts on LCD display - this looks just superb.
Check out my screenshot at http://www.hlacik.eu/screen2.png .

I have patched Fedora10 libXft and cairo packages with ubuntu patches
and have them available in my own repo which is located here
http://linux.hlacik.eu/

It can be added by installing
http://linux.hlacik.eu/fedora/i386/hlacik-release-10-1.noarch.rpm
unfortunately i am providing only i386 and SRPM packages.

Can you please look at those SRPM's or simpler, install hlacik-release
package which will update freetype , cairo, libXft for you?
After that ,please do not forget to add "Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault" to
/etc/X11/Xresources and restart X server.

When you will then set in gnome Appearance, Fonts - Subpixel Smoothing
(LCD's) you will see that difference.

Can be eventually those packages being added to rpmfusion repo?

Thanks in advance!

Q1: network up before starting NIS? (watch out for NetworkMangler^H^H^H^Hager

Yes. -- I had another machine in the past where this was a problem. NIS didn't 
work after boot, but when I manually restarted ypbind it started working. No 
such luck this time.


Q2: can you ping the NIS server or its backups?


Yes.


Q3: portmapper running?
chkconfig --list portmap


No, but it looks like portmap was superseded by rpcbind, which is running:

  # /etc/init.d/rpcbind status
  rpcbind (pid 2828) is running...

Also, rpcinfo reports several portmapper services.


another command to add to your yp test suite: ypwhich


# /etc/init.d/ypbind status
SIOCADDRT: File exists
ypbind (pid  22270) is running...
# ypwhich
ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind

This doesn't change if I stop both iptables and ip6tables (and then restart 
ypbind).

Another thing I tried: /etc/init.d/portreserve stop and chkconfig portreserve 
off
but that didn't make a difference either.

I also ran yum install ypserv, without actually turning it on. No luck still.

I think you are at the "NIS Service Is Unavailable" stage of the document...
try the following, even if `/etc/init.d/ypbind status` returns a pid:
ps aux | grep ypbind

`/etc/init.d/ypbind status` may be reading a file from /var instead of 
checking for a physically running program.

Re: Experience with x86_64-only (no i386) in F10?

2008-12-10 Thread Phil Meyer

Steve Snyder wrote:

Hello.

I'm about to wipe my x86_64 F8 installation in preparation for 
installing x86_64 F10.  Since I'll be doing a clean install, I'm 
feeling adventurous.  My plan is to go 64-bit only - no 32-bit 
binaries.  Mind if I ask a few questions?


1. In prior versions of Fedora there was no provision for doing a 
64-bit-only installation.  You had to do a standard x86_64 install, 
then erase all the i386/i686 RPMs.  Is that still the case, or can I 
opt at installation to only install x86_64 and noarch packages?


2. What functionality will I be giving up to go 64-bit-only?  In times 
past the immediate answers to this was Flash Player and the Sun JVM 
browser plug-in.  Between the alpha 64-bit Flash Player (which I've 
been successfully using for 3 weeks) and IcedTea, these drawbacks seem 
to have been resolved.  Anything else?


Thanks.

  


It seems like I have replied to this question several times lately, but 
perhaps more in conversation than on the list.


Anyways, there is a beta 64bit flash that works well.
   http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

Adobe's acrobat reader works just fine.  Just install with:
   # yum localinstall AdobeReader_enu-8.1.2_SU1-1.i486.rpm

Many other commercial and non commercial 32bit apps that do not have a 
64bit version, can also be installed this way.


Good luck!

I do not run a firewall between the boxes on my local net, which is behind a 
dd-wrt install on an x86 box, the best kept secret firewall ever.  So there 
is not a fireall involved in the paths around here in any direction but the 
internet, and certainly not between the server and client pieces of amanda 
all running on the same machine.

The point being that I have not configured anything here to use the ipv6 
addressing conventions.  Not samba, not cups, and not amanda, so where is it 
coming from and how to I turn it off.

Or, alternatively, since I use hosts files first, dnsmasq second (which I'm 
not sure I understand yet) and all failed dns requests are delivered to the 
box running dd-wrt, which in urn fwds them to the verizon servers it gets 
assigned by PPPoE, how do I go about setting up valid, private addresses that 
are the same as a 192.168.*.* address is for ipv4?

Hmm, dnsmasq is unk, lemme stop it.  And start nscd in its place since it has 
always worked.  Nope, same error timeout, the amanda client cannot talk to 
the amanda server, on the same machine.

Now I've made another discovery. I cannot disable the ipv6 address as shown in 
an ifconfig report in ifcfg-eth0.  I can edit it and change IPV6INIT from no 
to yes and back to no, with a restart after every edit, and still an ipv6 
address is being configured in both lo and eth0.

Is this:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.XX.XX   coyote.coyote.den   coyote

etc etc for the rest of my local network

A valid hosts file format for localhost?  I had found the machines FQDN 
included in the 127.0.0.1 aliases a few days ago, and since that is separate 
from the address assigned to that machine.domain.name, I took it out.  A 
leftover from the FU8 install I assume, and one I'd consider to be more 
breakage, according to the file, set by network manager, which I don't use.

Am I wrong, and I need to redefine the FQDN as an alias in the 127.0.0.1 line?

If thats the case, this is IMO, a security hole.  What were they thinking?  

Amanda has always considered that a no-no and refuses to do some things 
because of it when it finds a dle defined as localhost instead of the FQDN or 
a valid alias to that FQDN.  It is one of the foundation stones designed to 
prevent data theft by recovery on a machine that may not be the machine the 
backup represents.  Localhost can of course be any machine.

Plenty of unanswered questions above.  Whats the best fix?

Thanks.

A further option considering "Miredo is an open-source Teredo IPv6

the OP know that they need more 'devel' packages and that the OP 
understands what the configure script is asking for.


And there is the crux of the problem. If it is not a plug-n-pay 
build, it will take me a day to pull off, and I have other fish to 
fry on this project right now. I will try and reach the builder and 
get them to look into this.




As I don't have need for Miredo nor do I have an F10 install setting 
around yet, there is no point in me pulling Miredo sources and 
trying... BUT
Often if you pull the source of a project, untar it, and type 
./configure; it will either fully configure and be ready for a 
`make;make install` or spew out a 'could not find package BLAA' [which 
means you need to do `yum install BLAA-devel`] and have it figured out 
in less than an hour. If Miredo uses pretty much standard libraries, 
it is unlikely that you will even need to install any extra devel 
packages.


i.e., give it a go ... I think you could be lucky :) 


If you look at the 'Judy' thread, you will see I did this and was 'not 
lucky'.


make rpm failed:

make: *** No rule to make traget 'rpm'.

And I think this is because there is no .spec file.

I think I'm beginning to see the issue.  If you are subjected to a
misbehaving NAT box not under your control, you might need to tunnel
ipv6 over UDP.

I've always been lucky and had access to at least one clean, globally
routable IP address, so the normal protocol-41 ipv6 inside ipv4
tunneling just worked.  In case it helps, here are my notes for
setting up static tunnels under fedora.

Sounds like a noble goal.  I've always been hoping that direct

P2PSIP, like skype is burdened with a complex overlay model. Then

I designed HIP to address some of the fundimental deficiencies in our IP

years in coming, but there is now code and a few deployments.

The ypbind process is running according to ps aux. Same process number as
reported by /etc/init.d/ypbind status.

Does someone have a working Fedora 10 NIS client? -- Just to know if it works

In gnome, you can "switch user" from logout dialog once you are logged
in, or from the switch user applet (which is active in the default
desktop. it the applet showing your name)
The switch user applet also gives you a pull down list of users who
are currently logged in I think as well as letting you log in a new
user into a new desktop session.

When you "switch user" who is not yet logged in, gdm starts a new
greeter and lets the additional user login. You can think switch back
and forth between logged in users using the say switching mechanism.

If you do multiple startx instances I'm not sure the user switching
sees the multiple instances that way, startx might not run coordiated
gdm's. I haven't personally tested that.

I did finally get NIS working with autofs for my home directory.  It was
messy though, the system-config-network tool and
system-config-authentication UIs made a mess of the /etc files.
ifcfg-eth0 was laughable at some point.  I think it set my broadcast
address as my default gateway.  

The order I went through config may have been part of the problem:
turning off DHCP, turning off Network Manager and turning network back
on, modifying /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/nsswitch.conf, etc. 

I guess I'm saying I did most of the config manually.  I plan to upgrade
another workstation and see if there is a more direct path to getting it
bound to NIS.

Hi Salvatore.

That most definately is not the case. With Pulseaudio disabled, your sound 
apps will use Alsa directly, without Pulseaudio entering the equation.

I have disabled Pulseaudio on all my Fedora installsF8, and F9, with no 
problems. I still have Pulseaudio enabled on a Ubuntu 8.10 install, mainly 
because I can't find out how to disable it, but the sounds are working ok.

Pulseaudio appears to be usefull for setting volume levels for different audio 
apps that are running. As an example. You are listening to music, and you 
like too listen to it loud. You also have IM running (Gaim/Pidgin, Kopete 
whatever). Your volume is set to loud, and when you get a message from IM, 
you get a huge DING-DONG. With Pulseaudio you can set the level for your 
music app to high, and the level for the IM sounds to low, so that they are 
heard in the background, and you know that a message has arrived, without 
being a huge DING-DONG, which is likely to make you fall off your chair.

I believe that Pulseaudio can also be used for networking sound to other 
computers in your home. How well this works, I don't know, as I'm alone, 
apart from my dog. The dog's not too good on the keyboard. Paws too big for 
picking out individual keys.

It works fine in the fedora 10 virtual machines I installed.
I'm pretty sure I didn't enabled it during firstboot, but instead
ran system-config-authenticaion later and turned on NIS, pointing
it at the IP of the yp server.

That did cause host name lookups to start failing due to bug which
has a fix making its way to the updates repo right now, but I worked
around that bug by removing "nis" from the list for "hosts:"
in the /etc/nnswitch.conf file.

Is NetworkManager running? Try turning it off. Of course, if you were using

restart ypbind. By bizarre coincidence, I had the same problem on a new

Miredo 1.1.5

2008-12-10 Thread Robert Moskowitz

Progress!

I found an 'issues' on Miredo at:  webui.sourcelabs.com/fedora/issues/437626

From there I got a src.rpm for fc8 and fc9.  It looks like the owners 
are fiddling with things for fc9, so I rebuilt for fc10 with the fc8 
src.rpm.


It worked, and the rpms have fc10 in their names.

Don't know how well they will work; I only need client for fc10 (server 
is Centos).  I will be trying them over the next couple weeks.  If 
anyone wants a copy, let me know

what have you done to make you believe that ipv6 is disabled?

do you see any ipv6 addresses when you run ifconfig?

I've no idea if KDE implements an equivalent feature.

The response was that it was a missing requires. I am going to do a double
check of this to see that it does fix the problem and then file bugs
against the problem packages.

If so then it needs a Requires(pre): gtk2 . I'll be looking at these cases
more carefully and try to get bugs filed against the appropiate packages.

I plan to look through all of the installs for errors. There is one segment
fault, that I am not sure of, but maybe that was caused by a broken previous
install or being installed out of order as well.

I don't suppose the Requires(pre) info is prominently displayed in the
packaging guidelines (especially the coreutils case)?

I found that on my system it only lists official VESA resolutions, i.e.
only 4:3 up to 1920x1200.  Since this is a lattop with a 16:10 screen, I
wanted at least the correct ratio and spent a week googling for some
answers.  I found that setting on a TuxOnIce how-to at

No, it's supposed to be optional with no dependency on gtk2.
As in "if the gtk2 tools are available, run them", else don't run them.
The -x check and the '|| :' are important.

If powermanga doesn't use gtk2 at run-time, it doesn't need to require
it for the scriptlets either.

Christmas comes early.  Good work, Rex.

Where do we report bugs ?

OK, so I stumbled around in there for ten minutes before finding the 
SET button, even after reading the above (I never claimed brilliance,
but it IS an obscure app). Even after finding the set button, and having
previously entered my home location info, it still isn't showing weather
info. :(
