Jonathan I don't think the delta rpms are a problem in the install. It is not an issue of the signature matching. Some bug was introduced in the middle and it seems to have carried on. That is the only explanation I could come up for my observation that you can not update from the interim 2.6.34's at all. Specifically, I went back to 2.6.33.5-122 and removed all the other more recent kernels -- the last two kernels before 2.6.34-7. Then I installed the latest 2.6.34.7-56.x86_64 from 2.6.33.5-122 and this time, it rebooted fine, no problem. The problem has cropped up over the last three kernels. If I update from a lower kernel, there is not a problem, but from these it yields the kernel panic. So, I believe this bug was introduced in the previous two kernels and has not gone away. Something there has changed (please consider the changes from the last three 2.6.34 kernels relative to the ones previous to it, I guess!)

If it is and someone guesses your password, then they get a shell via ssh. Depends on how paranoid you are. I'm... a small home user, and not at all familiar with chrooting, should I be using it too? as for the guessing my password, that is a good point. Though I do not do that as root, still, that would allow access to my system. It depends on how secure you wish to be. If your site is going to get a lot of traffic or you're going to have a lot of different people uploading to you, yes, I'd consider a chroot environment (a.k.a. chroot jail). The details of a chroot jail are available elsewhere and I won't go into the details here. FTPS has the ability to use three different encryption things: no encryption, encryption of just the control channel or encryption of both control and data connections. vsftpd allows you to run both regular FTP and FTPS using the same daemon and there's no possibilty of an outsider getting a shell. vsftpd, I'll have to check that out. thanks for the tips info, always good to learn new useful apps.. It's up to you. We use sftp for most things here, but I've had a lot of clients in the past want FTP/FTPS.

The only two real problems I have seen with FC13 are video (if you have Intel, ATI or Nvidea other than the latest use vendor drivers or vesa mode), and the endlessly denied bug involving trying to use the network after suspend before the network is restarted. Removal of NetworkMangler and custom network scripts will fix that. All can see left is to revert to 12, if I have to DBAN each machine and install 12 from scratch; make sure it's right; and preupgrade to F 14 in November. But I seem to have deleted both my F12 ISO and the DVD I had burned of it. I have had much better luck doing an upgrade after booting an FC13 install DVD. I'm 5 of 6 for that, 1 of 3 for preupgrade.

How to change console font in grub2?
Does anyone know the secret sauce that's needed to change the colour of
the font in a high-res (1600x1200) console when using grub2 in F13? (By
console I mean the framebuffer-based console. X isn't running yet.)
The back-story:
Last evening I built and installed grub2 on my new F13 system. Turns
out that vga=838 (i.e. 1600x1200x16) at the end of the kernel line
no longer works. In Grub1 it gave a nice 1600x1200 console outside
of X.
Below, I've marked the two magic lines I added to the menuentry in
/boot/grub/grub.cfg to get the hi-res console. But the font is an
ugly hard-to-read green on black and I don't know how to make it
white on black like I had before.

One place to get them from is ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/olea.org/paquetes-rpm/win32-codecs-1.8-1.i386.rpm as far as I am aware (I use xine extensively) xine does NOT use the above mentioned codecs. Perhaps you are thinking of mplayer, which does. Xine has native codec players, available as the package xine-lib-extras-freeworld, which is available at rpmfusion.org note that if you are playing dvd's, you will likely also need the libdvdcss package to deal with region locked dvd's (not necessary for files extracted, or encoded from the dvd). http://rpmfusion.org/FAQ#head-ad193f146afb4c556137f9009c5bfaabba21d74c All the best, - -Greg Unfortunately, I do not know if any of the fedora repos package them. - -- +-+ Please also check the log file at /dev/null for additional information.

Re: ffmpeg problem
