Thanks for your help. I can follow the steps, but got no results.
After changing the boot option to boot from CD I got this messge on
rebooting:

Booting from CD-Room...
Boot failed: could not read CDROOM (code 001)
No bootable device.

Clearly the same CDROOM was read and have gone through disk formatting
and file-copying still in the CD drive. This may be a different side
(effect) of the same bug.

A virus scanner on linux for windows partition

[JD]

  I came across an article that mentioned some viruses
that can hide and move around on a booted windows
machine, and can evade virus scanner.
So, I thought that is the windows partition can be scanned
by another booted OS like linux it would make it impossible
for the virus to evade detection and quarantine.
Is there such a scanner than can be run from Linux?

I presume it only affects some file types.  Or files called in a certain
way (e.g. through gnome-open).  There's been a few comments about having
to set your default applications outside of the preferred applications
control (which seems awfully limited, only offering a few options, when
there's masses of different types that you might want to configure).

But when you right-click a certain file type, and adjust its open-with
properties, it only sets it for that file type.  e.g. If you do that for
MPEG, you'd have to *separately* do the same for other similar video
file formats (AVI, FLV, etc.).

Interesting.  I had to do this in gnome too. When I selected gnome 
mplayer under the 'open with' tab (under the permissions menu when you 
right click on the actual file) it finally set it for all the other 
files of that type.  

Is this a bug?  Or is the preferred applications menu only used for 
opening dvds and cd or something?

Yes I was using virt-manager, the gui to libvirt. And when I say 
hardware details tab, I mean go to the tab with the info sign ("i") in 
virt-manager for the VM in question.

Go to the hardware details tab, under boot options you should be able to 
change the boot device order. I haven't had time to try any of this 
since the discussion I referred to from last month, so things might have 
been fixed by now.

If I can find the time I 'll try to play with this tomorrow. In the mean 
time good luck to you.

Until you need to replace the router or it loses power. Setting a
static IP address for each of your networked appliances is a better
solution.

Hi Suvayu,
I still don't get it. I know you were "installing from a CD, so I went
to the hardware details tab and
selected the CD ROM drive in boot options as the boot device". From
which application did you get to the hardware details tab? How do you
create virtual machine? Do use Virtual Machine Manager? I have the
same questions as asked before. Namely:
How do you tell the VM to boot from CD (or in my case the ISO) ? Could
you say the actual steps you took - that would be great.

I thought he was taking about clicking on a video file icon either
on the Desktop or in the gnome file browser.
And I agree, changing the System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications
to change the multimedia handler did not work for me either.
After I changed it to /usr/bin/smplayer,
right-Clicking on a video file icon on desktop brings
up the menu that has the default "totem: player - albeit,
I still have the option to "open with" some other app.

works and confirmed by Ken Smith. However, how this method was
technically executed step-by-step is not clear to me, although I am
not considering my self a newbie to Linux or virtual machine. Can
somebody share this technique with us with detailed instructions?

Thank you.

Chromium can't override page fonts

[Patrick O'Callaghan]

I updated Chromium from
chromium-6.0.417.0-1.20100526svn48276.fc13.x86_64 to
chromium-6.0.451.0-2.fc13.x86_64 and now find that certain Web pages,
notable www.nytimes.com, are rendered in a Times Roman font that is hard
to read. Previously the same page used a different font (I'm guessing
Arial or Liberation) which was readable so I'd never tried to change it.
In fact I've no idea why it decided to change now, but the font-changing
dialogue (Spanner->Options->Under The Hood->Change Font and Language
Settings) has no effect when the page specifies its own font. Every
other browser I've used has an option to override the page font, but I
can't find this in Chromium. The same appears to be true in Chrome,
though I haven't looked extensively.

Suggestions welcome.

Some routers do not support assignment of fixed (static) IP addresses.
Work around this limitation by setting a static IP address outside of
the range controlled via DHCP.

Here are the instructions lifted from the Samsung CLX-3170FN user guide:

• Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address
from your computer. If your machine has a control panel, you can also
change IP address using the machine's control panel.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network
administrator to set this address for you.
IP setting using the control panel
1. Press Menu on the control panel until you see Network on the
bottom line of the display and press OK.
2. Press the left/right arrow until TCP/IP appears and press OK.
3. Press the left/right arrow until Static appears and press OK.
4. Press the left/right arrow until IP Address appears and press OK.
5. Enter a byte between 0 and 255 using the number keypad and press
the left/right arrow to move between bytes.
6. Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the 4th byte.
7. When you have finished, press OK.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to configure the other TCP/IP parameters:
subnet mask and gateway address.

Can't start X on F12

[Steve]

I just upgraded from F11->F12 and after rebooting the display was scrambled and 
unusable.  etc were unusable also - blank screen.

I booted into single user mode and found this error:

error setting MTRR (base=0xbd00, size=0x00e0, type=1) Inappropriate 
ioctl for device(25)

in a couple of the logs. I googled around and found that this problem has been 
reported before in bug #522258 (closed for insufficient data) and bug #564543 
but I have not seen any answers.

I'm running kernel 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686 and I have an nVidia 8800GT graphics 
card. The xorg.conf shows me using a vesa driver.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Didn't check the grouping. There you go (one-liner, just
using one FOR):

FILE=$(lynx -dump http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MqPXZwc3); SETS=$(echo

Most routers have a setting somewhere under something like "Advance
DHCP" or "DHCP Options" that will allow you to assign a fixed IP address
to a particular mac address.

This has to be set in the router's configuration. Most routers have a
web page you can go to for configuration. You would need to set the MAC
address of the printer to be assigned a static IP address, in the
router's DHCP configuration. Consult the manual that came with your
router or Google for it.

FC13

How would I lock the IP address of my Network Printer, Device URI:   
lpd://192.168.1.99/PASSTHRU   , so a Linksys WRT54GL router wouldn't 
change it.

This Samsung CLX3170FN will not setup as a  ipp:// in FC12 or FC13, IT 
prints very good as a
lpd:// setup

Everytime I turn the printer off, then on Router DHCP will reassign 
1.100 or 101.

Hi,
I have a suspicion that you misunderstood ipv6 state in about:config ...
This is what it looks like (assuming it is in an original default state):
  about:config
  network.dns.disableIPv6 defaultbooleanfalse
It means that ipv6 is enabled !

If you want to disable ipv6, right click on the line and select Toggle to read
  network.dns.disableIPv6 user setbooleantrue

Only add-on which checks for bad web sites is RequestPolicy
which checks for cross-site request forgery.
However, it is disabled!!
And no, I am not using a proxy.

Also, FF seems to use a single socket file descriptor for all the FF 
windows and tabs.
The side effect of it is that when you hit a sluggish site, then all 
windows/tabs are unavailable.
If you switch to another FF window, you see same image of previous 
window overlaid on every
other FF window.
I had suggested to FF people to spawn a separate thread for each tab and 
let each tab open
it's own private socket, so it will not tie up other tabs.
It fell on deaf ears!

I had hoped bluetooth had gotten better since the last time I
tried, but I guess not. I have a bluetooth dongle that will
operate in "usb" mode, which is the only reliable way I can
get my bluetooth keyboard to work. It means the dongle can only
talk to the keyboard, and nothing else, but at least when
appearing to be a usb keyboard rather than a bluetooth one
it operates reliably. Perhaps there is some obscure setting
you can use to make your mouse look like a usb mouse and
solve the problem that way?

   This does not fix the problem of mouse disassociating - tho the many

about::config shows that ipv6 is set to false,
so that cannot be the cause. But I will try wireshark.

Thanks for your help.

It's "Default Applications" in KDE Settings.

Try configuring your Gnome (not KDE) settings to use TB as the default

Only if you use the trap address to block a whole domain.

The technique I used was to consider all *messages* identical to ones
received at trap addresses were spam.  You can't fail with that approach
(content checking, and received at honeypot trap addresses).  No real
mail will ever be sent to one of them, and any other address receiving
the same content was being spammed.

You feed such messages to your spam recogniser along with an extreme
spam rating.  i.e. "This is 100% spam," not a "this is probably spam."

Blocking addresses is just doomed to failure.  Most spams fake their
addresses, *from* and other mail header addresses.  And they keep using
different ones.  So you won't block their next spam, and you will block
addresses that belonged to someone other than the spammer.

I don't have "workspaces on a cube" selected and it works for me.  the

Thank you.

Just tried.
It seems that you get this behavior only if you also select the option
"Workspaces on a Cube", something that I don't like too much :-/

Just for curiosity. Someone knows why this basic behavior (also
present in several old WM) is not included in "plain" GNOME (i.e.,no
compiz).

Thank you so much!

That approach has a problem. One significant source of spam is compromised
accounts. If you go that route, eventually you will end up blocking the
big free email providers. You'll either need to white list them or be willing
to block their email.

SPF refers to the envelope sender address. That's why it causes problems
with forwarding. Normally the address in the from header matches the
envelope sender address, but that isn't always the case (mailing lists
being a big exception).

You will get this behavior if you enable "Desktop Effects" (composited
desktop).

I'm afraid that's a fail - it doesn't match the desired output.

It's quite cool, however:

1) It needs to place a "\n" before everything except the initial
header line with the  tag.
2) It repeats the header above each link. Jozsi wanted the header only
above the first occurrence to group the links.

Who switches vterms when?

[Tom Horsley]

I turn off rhgb so I can (maybe) see who was doing what
if the system hangs during startup or shutdown. The
startup part works fine, but someone, somewhere, insists
on switching to a totally blank vterm when I'm
doing a shutdown, so I can't see any of the messages
from services stopping, etc.

Does anyone know who is in charge of doing this switch?
Is it whatever login manager I'm using (gdm or kdm)?
Is it the X server itself? Is it plymouth?

I'm just wondering what code to look at to see if I
can maybe send in a patch to make it behave more sanely
with rhgb disabled.

Not likely. Obviously, you must replace lynx with cat .

Workspace cycle under GNOME

[Marco Guazzone]

Hi all,

Is there a way to tell GNOME to do workspace cycle?

By "workspace cycle" I mean that the WM considers:
* the Workspace 1 as the next workspace of the Last Workspace (e.g. to
pass from Workspace 1 to the last Workspace by pressing
Ctrl-Alt-LeftArrow), and
* the Last Workspace as the previous workspace of the Workspace 1
(e.g., to pass from the Last Workspace to Workspace 1 by pressing
Ctrl-Alt-RightArrow).

I did a search and from what I found it seems GNOME does not allow it,
but I hope this is not true :(

Thank you very much,

Best,

Two things spring to mind:

Does the browser go through a proxy?  If so, that proxy will do the
resolving.

Are you using the Firefox features to check for bad websites?

That didn't line-wrap very well... here is the pastebin version:

It's a rather simple bash script, but not a one-liner unless you don't
count semicolons..

In p-code:

OLD_FOO=DUMMY

for each line in the input file
   FOO=dirname
   BAR=basename
   IF FOO != OLD_FOO print a header

   print HREF line

   OLD_FOO=foo
endfor

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt based on the fact a quick
Google search says you ask questions a lot and they don't all look
like homework ;o)

If you have the filenames in a file, you can do this:

cat list.txt | ( function title { echo "$1" ; } ; function ending { echo "" ; };
function link { LINK=$1 ; LINKFILE=${LINK##*/} ;
LINKNAME=${LINKFILE%.html} ; echo "$LINKNAME |"
; } ; PREVTITLE="" ; TITLE="" ; while read line; do
TITLE="${line%%/*}" ; if [ "$TITLE" != "$PREVTITLE" ]; then if [
"$PREVTITLE" != "x" ]; then ending "" ; fi ; title $TITLE ;
PREVTITLE=$TITLE ; fi ; link $line ; done ; )

 If you have a tree of links, you could replace "cat list.txt" with
"find ./ -type f"

The pretty version looks like this:

##
#!/bin/bash

function title {
   echo "$1"
}

function ending {
   echo ""
}

function link {
   # prints out the link template given the path to link to
   LINK=$1
   # delete the longest match of */ from the left side of the path, to
give the filename (equivalent to running `basename $LINK`)
   LINKFILE=${LINK##*/}
   # delete the shortest match of .html from the right of the
filename, to give the name of the link (equivalent to `echo $LINKNAME
| sed -e 's/\.html//g'`
   LINKNAME=${LINKFILE%.html}
   echo "$LINKNAME |"
}

# set the variables to detect a title change
PREVTITLE=""
TITLE=""

# start processing STDIN
while read line;
do
#  deletes the longest match of /* from the right of the path, to
generate the category title, equivalent to `echo $link | cut -d/ -f1`
TITLE=${line%%/*}
   if [ "$TITLE" != "$PREVTITLE" ]; then
  if [ "$PREVTITLE" != "" ]; then
 # only print the  on title change and not at start of loop.
 ending
  fi
  title $TITLE
  PREVTITLE=$TITLE
   fi
   link $line
done

Can I ask "why" you need to do this before I provide the answer, which
took me about 5 minutes to write in bash script.

I only ask because this seems to me like some kind of elementary
homework assignment on bash scripting and I don't want to be involved
in doing someone's homework for them.

- look at your system services and permanently or temporarily disable
  unneeded services/daemons that interact with a network/Internet,
  like avahi-daemon, etc.
- in cases like this make sure  that you have up to date firefox , and that
  means install it from scratch (before that save your bookmarks),
  remove firefox, remove ALL leftover related directories so that no data
  or config caches are present (!), and install it again.
- start firefox and do not do any customized config yet; just try the same or
  any other URL to see if the problem persists
- do you have any custom firefox plug-ins installed , or any other stuff for
  that matter ?
  Remove that extra funcy stuff and see if it helps.
- now you can look at config issues
  - do you utilize

If you install wireshark, and then begin capture just before you make
firefox go to a fresh site, ou should be able to see what is happening
on the network.

ps. for me its: ff tries ipv6, waits a minute for nonexistent response,
request ipv4, and instantly has the answer and the page.

wireshark makes it easy.
