Re: ssh into kvm-clients

Traffic Shaping / Bandwidth Throttling
I've been using gShield for years as the firewall on my border device. I am looking at traffic shaping and bandwidth limiting on my network to improve my voip and to throttle down my buddies torrents. I don't mind certain times of the day or night having the speed ramped up, but prime time 4pm to midnight I'd like to control the speeds on things. I'm looking for something that will let me set this up. I'd like to be able to only slow down one or two IP's, and have the IP's of a couple of the other PC's on my lan be unaffected. I've been looking on google, but I don't see much of a solution that fits my needs. I have my border device doing dhcp, so I can control which pc's get which IP.

You have to use tc and probably iptables (I prefer using MARK with iptables and then use the mark for tc rules). You will only get good results if you do it carefully; the first thing to know is what kind of internet connection you have, for example how much up/down bandwidth you have and if you are able to saturate you upload and download in every moment or you have unpredictable contention with other users of your provider. A good setup will not simply slow down torrents; it will only slow down them when other important traffic is present.

For more than 15 years I have found that the GUI partition installer hard to use and in F13 it is even more impossible to use. This is mainly because the various options are hard to distinguish from one another. I know someone will say it was easy fo them but I challenge them in the basic configuration to remove the separation of root from home. Do you mean the root user space (typically /root)? That shouldn't be inside /home, and that's not a partitioning issue. No, the basic disk structure created by the partitioner has separate LVM partitions for /root and /home. I wanted to combine them to a single LVM partition. I failed miserably. It does not make much sense what I wanted to do but I was frustrated that I couldn't do it. What I really wanted to do is to have the partitions other than swap in a single partition. I got that done but I am apprehensive about being able to do it again on my laptop which also has a Windows XP partition. I find the whole GUI partitioning application confusing. /home and /root are not connected to each other and could only become part of the same partition if the / filesystem were part of the partition as that is the connection between them. Of course putting /, /root and /home in the same LVM partition is actually the default so what you are trying to do is nonsensical. But since you admitted that what you are trying to do doesn't make any sense it seems there is really no reason to complain that what your are trying to do won't work.

That being the case, perhaps you can elucidate what you found confusing so those that can make it better can understand what may need improving ? Ok, I have been challenged to explain my complaints about the F13 disk partitioner. If you will bring up the F13 Installer Guide I will use the figures within to explain it to you. Let us start with Figure 7.27 (Section 7.20). I got a similar display when I chose: Create Custom Layout. Except instead of the logical partitions / and swap what was misplayed was /root and /home. No swap and no partition mounted on / could be seen. What could I do. So I deleted the /home and /root and saw a Free partion in their place. Now to replace the Free partition with something more usable. So I decided to edit the Free partition and we move to figure 7.29. Every size I entered in the Size Box got a return that there was not enough space for that sized partition. Even when I chose Fill to maximum allowable size.

FC13 won't start
Hello, I installed FC13 a week back. It was working fine for a week. Then, the other day I was trying different Desktop Environments. I installed KDE and then removed it. I tried XFCE and then removed it. System was working fine. Some automatic updates were installed. (I do not know what they were). Then when I tried to shutdown, nothing happened. I did not get the option to logout or shutdown. I had to forcibly turn the system off. Now when I boot it, nothing happens. I just reach the Fedora icon (before the login page). I do not get the option to login. I have started using FC13 only a week back. I do not know what has gone wrong. Can someone please help me.

OT (maybe) print server
Hi;
I have a small footprint, spare computer that I want to make into a print
server.
1.3Ghz and 256M ram, with hard drive and CD.
Could you recommend a distribution for this?
It will be a wired RJ45 connection, 1284 and USB printers.

A question on OCR for bad old document?
I have a scanned pdf of a very old document which was typewritten about half a century ago. The scanned copy is noisy and the letters are far from clear. The text can be made out (mostly) by eye, but it is 19 pages long and I would like to OCR it to get a digitised text to save the eye strain and lots of typing. I have tried various routes to doing this, including converting the pdf to jpg, tif and other formats after fiddling with it in GIMP to turn it (not very well) from grey scale to monochrome with an indexed image before trying to OCR it. I have tried GOCR, OCRAD and gscan2pdf but all give pretty awful results with a very low success rate. Does anyone have any guidance or a url to point me to that may help with turning that scanned old document into something sensible as a character file within Fedora ?

Fedora 12 Cups and Canon IP3000 from command line
Hi. How do I install a Canon IP3000 printer on a Fedora 12 This server is an old computer (Intel Celeron 1000 Mhz). If has a Biostar M6VLR motherboard (Trident Cyberblade chipset). I mention this because so far, Xorg+KDE or Xorg+XFCE performance has been awfult, ultra slow worst than molasses. Nevertheless on level 3 things work speedy enough. I just want it to work as a printer server + file server. I am not printing from this computer, so I do not mind if it works as raw printer. Therefore I removed everything graphic ( groupremove(X Window) ) My problem is installing my Canon IP3000. It used to work. I'd print to http://server:631/printers/Canon_IP3000 and everything would be fine. somehow I erased that configuration and I am starting from zero. I installed cups (1.4.2-28.fc12) and cups-bjnp (0.5.4-4.fc12) I messed a little to be able to go into the administration menus from another computer in the network. (Allow other_pc:631) Nevertheless after I configure everything I cannot see it nor recognize it from the network although it is supposed to be shared. I tried configuring from lpadmin but gave up, I need to study a lot more to use it I think. I need some guidance and clarification in here. I read that cups_bjnp had like its own server or something like that on port 8411, but the documentation is quite skimpy there. Has anybone worked this out? Do I need also any PPD file to download to make this all work? I am thoroughly confused here. -- -- /\_/\ |O O| pepeb...@gmail.com Javier Perez While the night runs toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Goodbye Fedora XDMCP and VNC
I have configured, reconfigured, and wrestled with exporting the Gnome desktop using either XDMCP or VNC. With all the various idiosyncracies, it has been a time-consuming struggle in which I have rarely gotten exactly what I wanted. Here is the map to freedom from all this nastiness: use ssh -X to export X from applications to a desktop with an X-server. Use the utility alacarte to export a handy guide for all the features that are normally accessed via graphical menus. Use properties of each menu item to find the command line necessary to invoke a GUI application that would normally be invoked through a menu. Use tuxmc or anything you like other than nautilus as a file manager. Live the rest of your life without worrying what fedora or gnome has changed relative to the nautilus, gnome desktop, xdmcp, vnc, or remote access with whatever release or upgrade you are using. If you always access a machine remotely, issue telinit 3 to shut down the graphical interface and x-server you will never need again. If you can ssh into your remote box and have a local x-server, you are good to go.

Firefox opens JNLP files just fine, but I guess it has its own table of file associations. Presuming that you're talking about opening a file with a file browser versus clicking on a weblink and the browser doing something with that file through a webserver, then yes, there's different mechanisms. A file browser will use the system file types and actions to identify the type of file, and hand it over to the default/preferred program. Or, that file browser can have its own identification schemes and associated application lists. And a web server will do its own file type identification, send that information before the data content, and the web browser will have its own list of what to do with the file. It's necessary, as it can handle certain file types all by itself. e.g. You want a web browser to show the HTML, JPEGs, GIFs, etc., as a page, not open a text editor and image viewer programs (well, certainly not by default). Conversely, for some served content, the browser isn't given the file. The file is used by the server to generate content, and that generated content is served to the web browser, with a file content type description that pertains to the data actually sent to the browser, irrespective of the original source that created it. e.g. If a Java applet is called by the URI, and that applet produces a HTML page, the browser is sent a HTML data description followed by HTML data. That's right, but the thing is that when Chrome downloads a JNLP file it by default saves it somewhere on the filesystem, and offers a Open option, along with a always open files from this type. If I use the Open option, JNLP file is opened on gedit, and if the always open ... checkbox is checked, clicking on a JNLP file link also opens the file on gedit. This is why I believe some additional client-side mime-type configuration is needed.

Some things I've added/fixed:
- Fixed DVD +R capacity (had an extra *2 in it)
- Got subprocess.Popen working
- Added a very basic usage (--help) output.
- Switched from a more procedural approach to capturing the main
portion of the program in a def Main() call and if __name__ ==
'__main__': which should make it easier to wrap a gui around it.
- Starting from disc other than #1. I hit enter too early on a backup
and it exited and I didn't want to burn the first two discs over.
- Got basic command parsing implemented.
Some things I was going to work on:
- assignable disc volume name by command line argument.

Some things I've added/fixed: - Fixed DVD +R capacity (had an extra *2 in it) - Got subprocess.Popen working - Added a very basic usage (--help) output. - Switched from a more procedural approach to capturing the main portion of the program in a def Main() call and if __name__ == '__main__': which should make it easier to wrap a gui around it. - Starting from disc other than #1. I hit enter too early on a backup and it exited and I didn't want to burn the first two discs over. - Got basic command parsing implemented. Some things I was going to work on: - assignable disc volume name by command line argument. Richard, Good show. I like your resume-at-disk-N idea, although some sort of proceed only after next disc is recognized smart pause might reduce its use. I'd also like to be able to suppress the uber verbose output. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I read it here: http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Rock-it-What-s-new-in-Fedora-13-1006388.html quote X.org's X Server version 1.8.0, which was released in early April, is responsible for displaying the graphical user interface. Some of the proprietary graphics drivers, which are, as usual, not included in Fedora, don't co-operate with this version -- for example's NVIDIA's Legacy driver for older GeForce graphics cards. NVIDIA's current Linux driver, on the other hand, is compatible and available to install manually from add-on repositories such as RPM Fusion /quote Hope this clears this situation.

Re: phpMyAdmin FC13
Hi, I hope that this isn't a system that is accessible from the Internet because phpmyadmin has a long and great history of being compromised by people who install it and don't possess the ability to lock it down. Yes, understood, and I'm familiar with its security track record. This system is isolated (as you can see from the ACL), and I'm trying to use it to connect to another isolated database. If you created the directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config and you want phpMyAdmin to be able to write configuration data, you should change the owner/group to apache:apache and set group write permissions on that directory. chown apache:apache /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config chmod g+w /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config Yes, I've done this, and it still fails. I wish there was a way to trace the script. I got it working by manually copying the lines generated by the helper script. I then just rsyncd the database from the 'production' server to the system that is running phpMyAdmin. Are there any automated or menu-guided fedora tools for creating an apache SSL host to use with phpMyAdmin?
