I am aware of that, and such is not my goal. My goal is to get a DVD - like http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso - but then specifically for the Design Spin. Is there such an iso? My apologies if this wasn't clear initially. -- Greetz, Roelof Kusters aka Ben The internet isn't a highway, it's a swamp: the more you surf, the more it draws you in.

Hi, I am using wireless broadband modem in Fedora 14. Network manger is able to detect it. My system is getting an IP on ppp0 and icon on desktop top is showing that network manager has detected it. But Mozilla firefox is giving error "Server not found". Though i am able to ping or nslookup any url from terminal. Even if i put ip of google server on firefox, it is able to launch the first page,. It is able to show search result. But it can not launch any link from that search page. For websites like Yahoo, it is not able launch the home page also. I tried with eth0 and lo disabled also, but no use.

Rdesktop and rdp is definitely MORE secure though (and I generally run vnc over an ssh session using -via). For me, it also doesn't support IPv6 which I want. VNC doesn't support IPv6 directly (actually there are some patched versions running around) but the ssh tunnel also deals with that issue as well. From comparing vnc side by side with nx, I'm definitely impressed with nx. The nx stuff uses ssh under the hood, so that's just as secure as rdp and vnc-through-ssh. The stuff from No Machine doesn't support IPv6 but it looks like the freenx stuff should (it acts like it does) and qtnx certainly seems to, if I could just figure out why the X11 sessions are broken (on either v4 or v6).

This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 154 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.

That's just ssh refusing to allocation a pseudo tty because stdin to is is not a tty.

I seem to have gotten further than you but I'm connecting to a freenx server on another F14 box. Unfortunately, I have also been unsuccessful. I may just load up the NoMachine server on one of my servers, just to test it out and see how it behaves.

I've done the same thing with the NoMachine nxclient and it works fine but that client sucks. It can only establish one session at at time, failing with a bizarre error that didn't make any sense that I finally tracked down to the client trying to listen on local TCP port 12000 for something about X11 fonts. After the first session has it, subsequent sessions catch fire and burn when they can't bind to it, complaining the address is already in use. :-P It also fails miserably if the host is an IPv6 only host. It seems their client is IPv4 only even though ssh is perfectly happy over IPv6 and the qtnx sessions to freenx seem quite content over v6 and I know X11 forwarding works on ssh over IPv6. Lamers need to get with the program. But, it did work to establish a connection into my freenx server setup (on IPv4) and give me an X-session back. So I know the server setup is correct. Still qtnx fails. Seems like, in my case, it's some disconnect in setting up the ssh X11 forwarding and I can't seem to tell where it's broken at. Worse, it's got to be something that qtnx is doing differently that's causing the brokenness. It also LOOKS like qtnx sets up the ssh connections in a way that can also allow ssh agent forwarding to work so you don't need a password and can use hardened encryption keys end-to-end for authentication if you have your authorized key in both the nx users authorized_keys file and in your authorized_keys file which is another nice (and bloody obvious) feature that is totally m

The expression {1..$a} is being quoted and treated as a string, instead
of being evaluated. If you change the printf from:
printf "."
...to:
printf "[$i]"

Well, think again. There are reasons people are dragging their feet going to IPv6. Frankly, I don't expect most, if any, internal LANs to cut over to IPv6. There's no reason or point, and a lot of headaches. Instead, it should become the standard *outside* your router/firewall, and you can stay with IPv4 inside. Probably the simplest approach is to use a router appliance that groks IPv6 for the WAN, and IPv4 for the LAN. On a Linux system, if you want it to be your firewall--and a lot of us are hard-headed enough to do so--I'd put in two NICs and use only the outward-facing NIC for IPv6, confguring the internal for IPv4.

Because {1..$a} doesn't output the sequence 1..65 like you think it
should. Replacing it with `seq 1 $a` does.

Re: BOOTMGR is missing, and now cannot login to Fedora either
Thanks to Stan :) for taking the time and effort to respond to my post. I found his suggestions really useful. I was able to flip to a console in F14 and successfully login to my user account, but sadly I never resolved the graphical login issue where F14 kept redisplaying the user login screen after I had entered my password. I did check the log files, but wasn't able to google much from log file text. Anyway, have re-installed Fedora 14, and it seems to be working fine now. The major learning was to make sure that grub is set up correctly asap, prior to doing lots of work on the linux install. I have a dell laptop and the first non-boot partition is a Dell windows recovery area, so Vista is on (0,2). The default grub.conf setup is set to (0,1), so I edited it as soon as I was able, without letting the Vista boot-up fail. Now I can successfully dual boot and have had no problem with the user login screen on F14.

nm-connection-editor's "Available to all users" checkbox
I can't figure out why nm-connection-editor's "Available to all users" checkbox is not working for me on Fedora 14. I have the following behavior in two use scenarios: 1. Wireless/Add: receive "Connection add failed: Insufficient privileges" error dialog when I click "Apply" with "Available to all users" checked. 2. Wireless/Edit: fails silently. That is, I click "Apply" and receive no error. But, when I again edit the connection, I see that the "Available to all users" is not checked. I would expect to be prompted for a root password when I click "Apply." I would also expect to see some type of error message in the second scenario. I am able to add or edit a system-wide configuration if I run "pkexec nm-connection-editor --display=:0.0" and provide my root password. My user account is stored in LDAP. I have tried adding myself to the desktop_admin_t and desktop_user_r groups (by editing the local /etc/group and confirming with the groups command), but this does not help.

See the SECURITY extension for X for details (short version: there are two different levels of authorization available via MIT Cookies; using an untrusted cookie should help mitigate risks such as the remote system snooping your activity, injecting events into other windows, or taking a screenshot/screencast). Note that you can place a command at the end of the ssh command: ssh -XC u...@host system-config-config-services And then you can put that in an application launcher if you want. Using key-based access, you could then just click an icon/menu entry/panel button to run the app remotely. -Chris -- 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

Viewing apple.com trailers
Hi all, Some time ago I posted a message about having problems downloading trailers from apple.com/trailers, and just wondered if anyone knows now how to do this? I can view them without a problem, but when choosing the download option, it appears to download them, but immediately starts to play them, but there is no video. There is only audio. Here is an example: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/paramount/truegrit/ Perhaps there's a firefox plugin, or you know how to get something like VLC to play them from the URL?

The Fedora 14 repositories have everything you need. Search the
packages for "subversion" and you will see many options (System ->
Administration -> Add/Remove Software or "yum search subversion" from
a terminal). Have a look at the other tools too, such as Nautilus
integration.
1. The main package you want is "websvn." It will have dependencies, I
think yum will install them but they include subversion (of course),
httpd and php.
2. Set up a repository with "svnadmin" from a terminal ("man svnadmin").
3. Configure websvn to browse that repository.

You basically: (option 2 of the web page) a) use "cd /wherever/you/want/the/repo; svnadmin create my1strepo" to create the repo b) run "svnserve -d -r /wherever/you/want/the/repo"to launch the daemon c) ...done (well, you may want to config users/permissions and check your firewall) The default storage method is not apache/webdav anymore; fsfs is much simpler (for example, doing backups of the repo is trivial and efficient). The only annoyance could be that some distros do not ship a proper init.d file to start svnserve (I wonder why). -- Roberto Ragusamail at robertoragusa.it -- 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

Here's what I do: local machine: ssh -YC usern...@remotemachine.com You might need to have the remotemachine's /etc/ssh/sshd_config to have the entry in it: X11Forwarding yes uncommented. The -Y option given to ssh is for the following: -Y Enables trusted X11 forwarding. Trusted X11 forwardings are not subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls. and the -C is for compression. Once you have logged in, you can then spawn GUI applications on remotemachine and have the display show up on local machine. There could be latency issues, and for that you might want to investigate the SPICE protocol (available in F14) or freenx. hth. -- Harish Pillay h.pil...@ieee.org gpg id: 746809E3 -- 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

If you want GUI access over a long latencty network connection you might want to investigate freenx. To get direct display access on the LAN you'll need to track down and eradicate the -nolisten tcp option, which is easy to do if you are logging in with KDM by simply editing the nice simple /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc file, bue if you are using GDM, it involves stuff like sacrificing chickens at the crossroads at midnight. -- 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'll try those commands you suggest and post the results. I'm a bit suspicious, though, as I have tried removing my local DNS server from the config and using only my ISP's servers. I got exactly the same result (see my response to Doc earlier in this thread); I guess if my ISP's DNS servers don't support IPv6 then none of their customers can be using recent Fedoras.

I use a local DNS server as I've other boxes on the LAN with static IP addresses. I have tried removing the local DNS server and using all three of the ISP's DNS servers; the results, unfortunately, were exactly the same. So I'm completely stumped. It must be something I'm doing wrong - it seems to me to be improbable that F14 does this out of the box for others without getting fixed pretty quickly! BTW, the box uses a pretty standard Gigabyte motherboard with an onboard Realtek gigabit ethernet port, so I'm sure it's not the hardware's fault.

You might be running into this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505505 As far as I can tell, DNS won't work unless your DNS server supports IPv6 () queries. If this sounds like your problem, I'd appreciate the input. The glibc devs have been ignoring this. I'm not sure if dig can tell you what you need to know here.
