USB Ethernet 10/100 dongles ??
Using FC8 on i386 Does A USB dongle for a 10/100 ethernet work on Fedora ? Will they all or just some of them work ? Anybody have one that works, want name brands ? I have a Gateway computer that doesn't have ethernet port and the standard ethernet cards are to big for this computer, it take a much smaller cards in the PCI slots. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
ddclient getting internet IP from AP
FC 8 I'm using a 2WIRE783 router/modem AP from AT&T and I want ddclient to be able to get the Internet IP for my network so it can forward it to dyndns.com. The other methods i'm using like "getip.com" and so on is not working, I think they are shutting me out. Is there a HowTo someplace to explain howto get it from the AP.

Why!! does End Session default to Runlevel 3
FC8/KDE When I do a End Session it doesn't drop to the Login Window, it goes to Runlevel 3 (shell) I have this problem on three FC8 boxes.

AFAIK this is a GTK setting, not specific to Firefox (FF uses GTK). Try
setting TB in the Gnome Preferred Applications dialogue. If you use KDE,
run gnome-control-center to get to it.

No I don't, but note that FF is a GTK application compiled with GTK
libraries so KDE has no direct way of controlling it. You could probably
edit the gconf files directly, but I don't recommend it. Just run "yum

It has nothing to do with being "better". As I already said, Firefox is
a Gnome application and pays attention to the Gconf database (Gnome's
equivalent of the Windows Registry). KDE uses a completely different
system for storing configuration info. You need the Gnome tools for some
Gnome stuff and the KDE tools for some KDE stuff.

Re: Sagem Fast 800 E3 usb modem and Fedora 8
Frank Cox wrote: My wife is currently visiting her family in Mauritius, and has taken her laptop along with her. Her laptop runs Fedora 8 and I have set up network manager on it so it will automatically grab any available Internet connection without any further action required on her part. This works fine here, both with a wireless and a wired connection. Switch on, blammo! Connection established, done deal. However, she advises me that the connection at her mother's house uses a Sagem Fast 800 E3 modem that has only a usb connection, and when she plugs it into a usb port on her laptop nothing happens. (On the actual modem, the word Fast is written as [EMAIL PROTECTED]) A bit of Google searching tells me that this modem is based on the Eagle chipset (whatever that is) and that there are apparently Linux drivers available for this thing, somewhere. Making things more interesting, it appears that this Sagem is a French outfit, and most of the documentation that I can find is written in French. So Is there an easy way to make this modem work with Fedora 8? My wife is by no means a "techie"; she just uses whatever software I provide for her, and there is no way in the world that she will be able to compile a kernel module on her own, or anything like that. "yum search sagem" gives me no results, and "yum search eagle" gives me nothing relevant. I'm pretty sure I could call her on the phone and talk her through a "yum install whatever" and reboot, but I have no idea what I should tell her to install. I hate to have to tell her that she hauled her laptop all the way from here to Mauritius for nothing, but I'm starting to think that's the situation. Any suggestions are welcome. Check these two sites , there is a driver for Linux for the Sagem Fast 800 E3 usb modem. http://dev.eagle-usb.org/wakka.php?wiki=EagleUsb200 http://faq.eagle-usb.org/wakka.php?wiki=ModemSupport -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

This WUSB54G worked on another FC8 box but I can't get it to work on this FC8 box, I Installed ndiswrapper and installed the WUSB54G.INF on Windows CD and I blacklisted p54usb and p54common that was loading after bootup. In Adminstration > Network a prism54 - Wireless - wlan0 - configured shows up, but I can't activate it If I try to probe MAC address it comes up with a "No such device" I found that ndiswrapper wasn't loading, did a /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper and got this in /var/log/messages, any ideals ?

I have tried to launch it as SU from the console but it won't start in FC9.
Two possibilities, then. Maybe you forgot to use '-' ('su -') or maybe it is
not in your path, so you need the full path (/bin/su). I don't do this
directly because I have a root terminal profile which already has this set.

FC9 , 2.6.27-0.312.rc5.git7.fc10 .

Nota bene: I've disabled all the other rpmfusion repos ("enable=0")
except rpmfusion-free so as to keep things simple.
One more piece of data which I just discovered.
If I do a "yum clean all" first I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Cleaning up Everything
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/10/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError:

I notice similar [Errno 4] messages from the livna and fedora repos, but they
somehow recover!
Why not the rpmfusion repo?
For completeness I now will uncomment "mirrorlist" and comment "baseurl" in
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo and run the same commands:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Cleaning up Everything
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

Could not retrieve mirrorlist
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-10&arch=i386 error was
[Errno 4] IOError:
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
rpmfusion-free. Please verify its path and try again
Hmm. This time livna failed, retried and succeeded, fedora had no
problem at all, and rpmfusion failed and did not recover.
I'm completely stumped.

Did you you make a /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf file ??

Selinux and Firefox
FC10/KDE On a Box with Five Users, one user is having problems with, when starting Firefox, Selinux continues to pop up with error message, if you shut down one error message, immediately another will pop up. Could it be a problem with the /home/user/.mozilla directory that Selinux doesn't like ? , I was thinking of deleting .mozilla and let Firefox build a new one. Again the other four users are not having any problems with Firefox/Selinux -- 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

That will probably help others respond. It was the /user/.macromedia directory that was causing Selinux to send errors, I ran the recommened command to correct selinux but that didn't help so I just sent the .macromedia directory to the trashcan and it regenerated a new .macromedia directory and no more problems with Selinux. -- 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
