Mobile Braodband (GSM) on fc9 i686 laptop
Dear List, I just received a gift from my wife of a Verizon mobile broadband (GSM) usb modem. Unfortunately all of the documentation is for the inferior MS platform. I have plugged it into my usb port and nm-tool recognizes it as : Device ttyACM0- Type : Mobile Broadband (GSM) Driver : cdc_acm State : disconnected Default: no I have tried calling Verizon about connecting to Linux, but have only waded through the first layer of responders that were not aware of Linux. Have any of you used these with Fedora? Can you point me in the direction of a how to or is there an easy switch to toggle. Thanks in advance Greg Ennis -- 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

Have any of you used these with Fedora? Can you point me in the direction of a how to or is there an easy switch to toggle. I tether my Verizon Blackberry Storm (hereafter called BB) to my laptop (F11) on occasion to use it as a wireless modem. You need to jump through some hoops (e.g. barry and XmBlackberry) to get it to set up the modem for use, but it works. What follows is what I do on the BB. You first have to dial #777 (at least on the BB). Once that's done, the trick is knowing what your username and password are. Your user name is your cell number (area code and number without the leading 1, @vzw3g.com (probably...at least mine is). The password is your phone number (again, without the leading 1.

F11 and CD Failure
I've just installed F11 on a small dell machine that had been running FC8. Everything installed ok except it does not mount the CD when I place one in the drive. I used the CD drive during the install of F11 so I know the drive works, and I can use the CD I am trying to mount in other machines so I know the problem is not the CD.

in the /media directory when a CD is inserted; also, obviously a mounted

were created on a different machine as I inserted the same cd and

that all looks good - I don't think it actually mounts until you tell it
to mount - i.e. I use KDE and KDE uses a widget called 'Device Notifier'
and it wouldn't mount the inserted CD until you do something like open
the disk with 'file manager' (Dolphin). I don't know the similar actions
from GNOME. You might find that the disk is actually available and
waiting for user instruction to actually 'mount' it.
Craig
Craig,
I wish giving a command were the case. In fact when I try to mount
using a konsole interface with a user different than root I get :
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cd
mount: only root can do that
If I watch what happens on a different fedora installation the mounting
directory is created and the lock files are created in the /media
directory. On this new install of F11 neither of those occur.
Since I can mount with the root account but am unable to mount with any
other user account do you think looking at mount's security is where I
should look. I turned off selinux and rebooted for grins, but that did
not make a difference either.
hal is recognizing the new CD for sure, but it just is not mounting it
when it is recognized.
Thank you again for your help if you have any other thoughts ..

To All :
I have not been able to solve this problem with hal. If any of you have
an idea of what to do next I would appreciate it. Thanks to Craig and
Hiisi and Aaron for their dialog.
I don't like building kludges but I could not figure out how to fix this
problem without a BIG KLUDGE. Here is how I have temporarily solved it
until one of you can help me learn how to fix hal.
#1. Create subdirectory 'cd' in '/media' so that '/media/cd' is
addressable with protections of 444.
#2. Added line item in /etc/fstab of :
/dev/cdrom /media/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#3. Created a perl script to mount the cd by way of :
'/bin/mount /media/cd' and created a launcher link on the desktop of the
user.
#4. Created a perl script to unmount the cd by way of :
'/bin/umount /media/cd' and created a launcher link on the desktop to
the user.
This gives manual control to a user that has never heard of the words
'mount' and 'umount'

In practical terms ssh replaces telnet so that your computer to computer connections can be accomplished with encrypted tcp/ip packets. You can establish computer to computer connections with telnet, but it does not customarily encrypt which means the content of your connection can be sniffed and understood by someone monitoring your network. ssh prevents the sniffer from understanding what is being sent from computer to computer. Because ssh is so much better than telnet, telnet servers are usually turned off and not used.

Everyone,
After reviewing some of the posts on this lists it appears to me that
sendmail is having trouble finding the network at start time, and unless
restarted or forced to read the queue it does not transfer any mail.
I have written a little perl script to restart sendmail after it
recognizes the network as being up. This has solved the problem.
I do have NetworkManager running, and could not figure out a way to do
this other than to restart sendmail. If you start this script in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local and create the appropriate sub directory as
the /var/log/smile it should at least bypass the problem with
NetworkManager.
Greg
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# s.sendmail.check.prl.001
#
# This script will check to see if a network connection exits
# and is functioning
#
# If a network is not functioning it will wait for this to happen
# and restart sendmail so that it will process the queues

I'm certainly a proponent of always looking for low-hanging fruit, but in
this case, I'd have to say that running a sendmail server is certainly one
of those cases where you really can't know too much and that not knowing
enough is just going to cause problems.
So in the spirit of offering constructive comment, here is some of
the sendmail section of my library:
* The Bat Book from O'Reilly. If that's all you have then you're not
going far. It's really a reference book.
* The Sendmail Cookbook. Excellent to have around. I wish it was
twice as thick.
* Linux Sendmail Administration by Craig Hunt. Very good
presentation.
* Sendmail Performance Tuning by Christensen. Just what it says it
is.
* Sendmail Milters by Costales Flynt. Once I thought I'd want to
write a milter. Still do, but it got pushed down the list.
* And last but not least, Sendmail Theory and Practice 2nd ed by
Vixie and Avolio. This is THE book and AFAICT, the ONLY place to
find out how to actually program sendmail. I'm not talking about
those namby pamby m5 macros. I'm taking about the good stuff. The
stuff that puts hair on your chest. The stuff that makes all those
gurly men cry.

Only the last line is needed to use kdm, the first one sets up KDE as the default GUI. I have those lines in that file and my default gui is GNOME. So what you are saying is not true. It IS true. Of course, you can still set up the default desktop for YOUR USER as Gnome or any other GUI you like if you have it installed. Log in as a user who does not have such settings (a new user, for example) and you will see KDE will be loaded, unless he explicitly selects Gnome before he logs in. KDE will be the system default. On the other hand, if you don't add that line (in Fedora), new users will automatically log in to Gnome, even if the display manager is kdm. Maybe you should be more careful with what you say, or at least with how you say it. Of course, I can make mistakes like anyone else, but you seem to imply I'm deliberately lying. []'s Marcelo Marcelo, Using the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file with the additions you suggested worked perfectly for me.

You can use sendmail without bind, but you have to deal with sendmail having difficulty being able to identify your internal machines from remote machine.

Make sure you study this subject well. dovecot has been recommend and I have used it frequently with ease. I have not had the opportunity to install cyrus.

Use F2. --Frank Elsner Thanks Frank Not sure if I can train myself not to use F1 :) -- 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
fc10 - Logon Display filtering
Hi all, Just installed a x64 fc10 and noticed that I could no longer filter out users from the login screen. In fc8 and below I could have multiple users set up but only one or two showing on the login screen. Is this option gone or is there a way to continue using it. Also, what happened to the option of being able to see each process started during boot time. I liked being able to see what was being started and any error messages.

That still works. I am not sure how to control this, since when I upgraded things kept working pretty much the way they had previously. I believe there is a quiet option for the kernel in your grub.conf config file that you don't want. I am not sure how plymouth plugins are selected, but uninstalling them may be one way to do this. Bruno, Thanks for the help. There is a README file in the /usr/doc/plymouth directory that gives up the keystroke that allows the viewing of each started process. All you have to do is hit the Esc button. Do you have any ideas about the ability to restrict user names on the login menu? This is something we would like to have back in if it has been removed.

I tried SANE, but I want experience ! For my personal, I tried models, without success Thanks for the help ! Sincerely, Newton - Brazil Newton, I had an HPG85xi Color Officejet; The printer functions worked fine using a PS driver but I could never get the scanner to function with fedora. I was able to use MS, and this was the only reason I left a MS operating system around. I still have this printer and it functions very well. I recently purchased a HP2840 Color Laserjet. The printer functions worked fine using either a PS or PCL driver, but I could never get the scanner to function with fedora. I had to use MS for the scanner functions on this one too. This printer is the worst HP product I have ever purchased. We used non HP toner cartridges, and after one cyle of toner cartridge replacements I could not get the printer to work. I have had two HP printer service agents look at it and no one can fix it. I eventually did some google searching to see if I could fix it, and found two videos of users demonstrating their dislike by destroying the printer with sledge hammers. I have been thinking of doing the same. When the printer worked it was great, but it worked for only a year. I have not had much success in getting SANE to work so I will be following your post with interest.
