Re: how to increase the number of cirtual desktops?
I assume you are working under gnome. Just right click with the cursor in on of the workspace icons, on the panel bar on the right. select preferences and you can change the number of virtual workspaces and other things. greetings paul 2009/12/28 Bill Davidsen > Robert P.

Re: linux as router
I don't think that it makes sense to configure a router with one physical network card. If another PC on the same cable segment tries to reach something it needs a router that has connection with more than the same network cable. greetings, paul 2009/12/13 Adel ESSAFI > Hi list > This is the first time I have to configure linux as router. > I have a single network card for which I gave to IPs > > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:5B:72:7F:D9 > inet addr:41.231.X.Y Bcast:41.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 > inet6 addr: fe80::211:5bff:fe72:7fd9/64 Scope:Link > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:2595 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:2295 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:1876353 (1.7 MiB) TX bytes:328059 (320.3 KiB) > Interrupt:21 Base address:0x8000 > > eth0:1Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:5B:72:7F:D9 > inet addr:192.168.10.10 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > Interrupt:21 Base address:0x8000 > > > > > and this is the default route > > [r...@routeur ~]# route > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse > Iface > 41.231.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 > eth0 > 192.168.10.0* 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 > eth0 > link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1002 00 > eth0 > default 41.231.2.81 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 > eth0 > > > The problem now, is when I configure a PC with an IP adress 192.168.10.X > and I put the gateway as 192.168.10.10, I do not succeed to ping any PC.

Re: Re: low res after F12 upgrade
in F11 the configuration is dynamically detected just as in F12, so you still need a static configuration in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, with a modeline like e.g. Section "Monitor" Identifier "DELL 2001FP" DisplaySize 367 275 HorizSync 31-80 VertRefresh 56-76 Option "DPMS" ModeLine"1600x1200" 160.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 EndSection cheers paul 2009/11/19 Greg Woods > On Wed, 2009-11-18 at 19:29 -0500, Todd Denniston wrote: > > > You mentioned being able to "restore my F11 system from backup". > > Did that backup have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? > > I tried this too.

I managed to solve the problem by tweaking some kernel parameter's that influenced the behavior of the virtual memory system.

gnome session control entry missing
After migrating from FC9 to FC11 i noticed that the gnome session entry has disappeared from the taskbar->system->preferences menu. I used it mainly for saving my current session, and now use manually '/usr/bin/gnome-session-save'. Is this on purpose removed? or is this something for the gnome-people. paul van der Meij -- 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

iptables on FC11
I upgraded from FC9 to FC11 (new install) but iptables is behaving strange. My /etc/sysconfig/iptables file shows a number of ports as accept, but nmap tells a different story. e.g. imap port 143 is closed in nmap (and in truce), open in iptables file. I did use the iptables GUI to configure.
