How to limit maximum number of TCP connections

[Jatin K]

Dear All

I'm on FC 15 which is acting as a router for Cable Internet connection
for 145 PC on the LAN, which works fine... But there is one question in
my mind, How do I limit the maximum numbers of concurrent connections to
router. i.e. if I want to allow only 90 concurrent connection to the
router at the given time only 90 PCs can pass through the router or
connect to the Internet other PCs/users have to wait until the connected
PCs session is over.

is there any solution/tweak available ???

Catalyst 12.6 drivers

[n2xssvv.g02gfr12930]

These are now available on RPMFusion non free testing repository. It
installed with no problems for me.

This should remove the watermark, (I've not tested it)

#!/bin/sh

Yup. Ran into this problem trying to make an alarm clock with atd or
crond. Can't have sound unless you are logged in. I had to totally
remove PA and just use alsa. But I know that's not possible any more.
Now we have systemd too. Joy.

I had asked that question since if the OP knew how he installed it, it may 
provide a
clue as to how to remove it since the "remove" button isn't there.

However, the OP has responded to me privately telling me he didn't really like 
being
asked that... Indicating that this type of question is "OUT OF BOUNDS!!!".

I can not see any reason why I should continue to lend assistance in this
matter...and most likely any others.

You will probably run into problems with the wrong drivers being
loaded into the initrd image. It may not have the IDE drivers.

Are you sure your system does not have an IDE connection as well as
the SATA connections? A lot of motherboards have both.

In any case, you will have to select a custom GRUB config because
the drive configuration will be different when you are installing
and when you boot with the drive back in the Dell.

Well, that depends on if you have a microphone attached to your

There are 2 places where extensions live.

~/.thunderbird/something.default/extensions
and
/usr/lib/mozilla/extensions

Those that live in /usr/lib/mozilla/extensions have been installed "globally" 
and
therefore will not present a "remove" option.

In the case of "Estonian ID Card" you have probably installed the mozilla-esteid
package when you went ahead and installed **everything**.  So, you see what 
headaches
you've made for yourself?  You've installed **everything** and now you are 
seeing
things you want to get rid of and you've no idea what they are and how to get 
rid of
them.

FWIW, the only extension that gets installed in the $user area on first run is
"Thunderbird Test Pilot".  You are given the option to remove since this is in 
the
user's directory.

Now, you've indicated you know how you installed the other 2?

That's very interesting.  When I did the initial install (using sudo yum install

Apparently that doesn't install the binary for wireshark as I didn't get that

I am not sure I understand why wireshark-gnome is NOT a dependency of wireshark.

Wireshark works fine without the GUI, but in a very limited fashion. The gnome 
wrapper just lets you use it in a convenient manner.

legitimate useful stuff being done by people I would not have suspected would

Well, IMO, server software should default to disabled.  It is not unusual for

I could argue this both ways. For something like xrdp I think it should

I've not used XDMCP in years.  I think part of the reason I moved away from it 
is
that when I do "remote" it can be *remote* and the performance over low 
bandwidth or
high latency links was lacking.

   

Agree, but over a 1G LAN with modern hardware it should just fly along.

Don't you mean a DVD?

If the the procedure I outlined in my previous note does not work Down
load a Live CD. Install it on a usb stick using unetbootin you get from
unetbootin.sourceforge.net

Then use the usb stick to install Fedora 17.

Well there are several things.
1. The F17 DVD only boots on selected machines. Of my machines it boots
on only w2 of the three.
2. Howerver I found it will boot if you perform the following procedure.
Go into the Bios and then into the Boot Sequence option. You don't have
to do anything except exit the Boot sequence and exit  the bios. Exit
and save if it asks you that. The the DVD will boot to the Install oe
Update screen. Chose that and the booting will continue after producing
the following mysterious erroo messgae:

Error could not insert 'floppy' no such device
Loading   Fedora 17 i686 install
rpcbind terminating on  signal. Restart with "rpcbind -w"


Just let the error message sit there until it goes in to the language
choice menu. 

All my problems have been on Dell machines.

I have more than a hint and guidance.  I have emphatic advice.  Stop trying
to import and export desktops, no matter the system.  Import and export
windows or create virtual machines, but do not ever under any circumstances
attempt to deal with virtual desktops, no matter the Windows or Linux
distribution.  If you get it right once for some circumstance, whatever you
have gotten right will soon become wrong in some intolerable way just as
soon as some weenie somewhere has a better idea.  No one is more or less a
sinner.  All are.  I know what a virtual machine is and I know what a
window is and so do most systems.  No one seems to be able to agree on what
a desktop is or what its powers are, and that problem is absolutely
fundamental.

I'm guessing there isn't a BIOS (or possible other firmware) for your computer?
If there was something like this might be fixed in such an update.

Pulseaudio strikes again!

[David A. De Graaf]

Does anyone know how to allow root and users other than me to use the
sound system?

Ever since pulseaudio was introduced in Fedora 8 and Mr. Lennart
Poettering inflicted his peculiar ideas of security on us, the default
installation hasn't worked properly, despite many BZ's and copious
complaints!  Specifically, pulseaudio invents the "seat" and only the
one person in the "seat" can use the sound system.  This precludes
having root, or anyone else, from generating sounds - presumably it's a
security risk.  Bosh!

A simple workaround was found - remove the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
package, and edit /etc/group, adding everyone on the system to the
audio group (what a nutty idea).  That removed the restrictions and
restored sanity.  Root could even generate a login tune via the
/etc/rc.d/rc.local script, before anyone had logged on.

With F17, this escape hatch has been removed. 
With the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package absent, a simple command to
play a sound yields a core dump:

  $ play /usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-Log-In.ogg
  dsp_protocol_open_node(): Could not open pcm device file /dev/dsptask/pcm2
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The pcm device file is, indeed, absent from the file system.
In fact, no sounds whatever can be generated by any of the standard
methods I use.  (Except that Windows running inside VirtualBox seems
able to manage it.)

To get any sound at all, I've had to reinstall the
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package, but this allows only me to generate
sound and destroys my crontab-simulated grandfather clock, among other
things.

On an i386 netbook, F17 sound works fine, as it always has, with the
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package removed.  The play program doesn't
complain about the absence of /dev/dsptask/pcm2, but just plays the
sound.

What new magic incantation is now required that I may be permitted
to use my x86_64 sound system fully?

In addition to resizing your XP partition, you may have to "move" it
over to make enough space for grub.  There's lots of posts all over
about this.
You might first want to test by booting it on your PC via USB and with
that SATA HD disconnected.  If you fail to boot with some weird grub
error then you still have some partition manipulation to do. To do
partition manipulation, I generally use a gparted live CD.

this Dell to Boot off a CDROM.

by even setting up BIOS to boot off CDROM.

Yes the CD is a Bootable CD.  If you read the CD from within WindowsXP 
it will read the the files on the CD.


I was thinking about taking hard drive out the Dell and USB connect the 
hard drive to another Computer and do a resize of WindowsXP and install 
Fedora on hard drive and setting up the hard drive as a Boot drive , 
then put it back into the Dell 2400.


The Dell hard drive is a IDE drive and My computer is SATA so I can't 
put the Dell hard drive in my PC.

wireshark not only contains the backend libraries but also couple of tools
in /usr/sbin that can be used independently and without the GUI.

That's very interesting.  When I did the initial install (using sudo yum

Apparently that doesn't install the binary for wireshark as I didn't get 
that until I installed wireshark-gnome.  Shoudn't this be a dependency 
of wireshark?  I am not sure I understand why wireshark-gnome is NOT a

Quick question.

On the server side, did you do the following?

1.  yum install xrdp
2.  systemctl enable xrdp.service
3.  systemctl enable xrdp-sesman.service
4.  systemctl start xrdp.service
5.  systemctl start xrdp-sesman.service

And then on the client side

1.  telnet clientIP 3389

to make sure all is running on the server side and there is no firewall issue?

This is where I get confused. I don't understand or know how to get to where 
the client side is located.

Quick question.

On the server side, did you do the following?

1.  yum install xrdp
2.  systemctl enable xrdp.service
3.  systemctl enable xrdp-sesman.service
4.  systemctl start xrdp.service
5.  systemctl start xrdp-sesman.service

And then on the client side

1.  telnet clientIP 3389

to make sure all is running on the server side and there is no firewall issue?

There have been many syntax, schema, and matching rule changes over the

In general you can go to

Well, IMO, server software should default to disabled.  It is not unusual for 
users
(novices and even experienced) to install server side software they aren't 
going to
use...at least initially.  To have them default to start seems a good choice.  
This
is especially true when you probably should alter any default configurations.

I personally don't find it difficult to enter "systemctl enable some.service" 
and
"systemctl start some.service".  I am sure there will be a GUI some day.

As for GNOME in fallback mode.  I don't use GNOMEbut my impression is that 
it
needs certain functionality in the graphics that I'm not sure will work in any 
remote
environment.

I've not used XDMCP in years.  I think part of the reason I moved away from it 
is
that when I do "remote" it can be *remote* and the performance over low 
bandwidth or
high latency links was lacking.

It's not a Fedora thing, it's a Gnome thing. Fedora ships several other
display managers all of which do xdmcp just fine. The Gnome one is
primarily a docs/config problem. It does it, but the configuration is
undocumented almost every document on Gnome about gdm is stale, obsolete
or misleading.

The setup I run inside firewall is novnc + websockets proxy + Xvnc. I did
play with x11vnc but its basically impossible to make it do what I needed
even if you fiddle with all the config options.

The end result though is that pointing a vaguely modern web browser at the
box gives you a VNC session in browser.

Lawrence,

 He meant do, for example, 'nslookup server1', where 'server1' is the name of 
the server you are using to try to connect the rdp
session to.

This could get into a discussion about the target audience for

The advice is not to use it for production and here is a good example of 
why.

What do you see when you type:

with the hostname for the machine you're trying to access via RDP?

No password prompt from GUI login screen

[John Cockerham]

Hello,
I have a laptop with Fedora 16-x86_64bit installed.  One day last week I
noticed that I was not required to enter a password to log in from the
graphical screen. For example, when I click on my username from the GUI the
system logs me in immediately without requiring or prompting me to enter my
password.   This is true with all users and when using both Gnome and KDE
desktops.  I have searched everywhere I can think of and can't seem to find
a post describing this issue.  I have verified that auto-login has not been
configured in either Gnome or KDE.  I have also made sure the "Enable
Password-less Logins" is not enabled in the System
Settings/Logins/Convenience tab.  Strangely enough, if the screen saver
kicks in I have to enter a password to unlock it and if I switch to a
textual session (Ctrl+Alt-F3 for example) I have to enter both username and
password to login.

Does anyone have an idea how to re-enable the need to provide a password
from the GUI or where I should begin to look for the problem?

 tks

Is there something missing from using VNC or xrdp?

It's not properly been supported in Fedora for years but it does work
most releases.

See

/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-upstream-settings

then go read all about the totally obfuscated dconf mess that Gnome uses.

That should be enough to get you going (I found you also had to restart
gdm)

There isn't a WinFF package in the fedora or rpmfusion repositories.  If you 
want to
use that, just download it from their site and "yum localinstall 
winff-1.4.0-3.i386.rpm"

Thanks, I have rpmfusion configured and I've already used it to install
some of devil patented packages. But I don't think that there is a

You've not indicated if you any 3rd party repos defined.  I suspect not

If you don't have 3rd party repos, that explains the "problem".  The standard 
Fedora
repos don't contain software that is patent encumbered.like mpeg and mp3.

You should visit http://rpmfusion.org/ and configure the free and non-free 
repos.

I am sure others can point you to the software to do what you ask.  I happen to 
be on
f16 and use HandBrake for all my conversion needed.  But, there are plenty of 
others.

Fedora 17 - MPEG-4 support and WinFF package

[Mateusz Marzantowicz]

I have a problem with assembling working environment with all packages
required to encode/decode/convert MPEG-4 and H.264 media files in Fedora
17 x86_64.

I'd like to convert some video files to mpeg-4 format easily but I'm
unable to do it. I'm unable to find any comprehensive info about
packages that need to be installed in Fedora 17 in order to work with
aforementioned files. So I ended up mixing some advice form several
blogs etc. I can watch mp4 videos but not create them from other media
files.


My questions are:

1) What packages are to be installed to fully support MPGE-4 as
destination media format?

2) Is there a package with WinFF, the GUI form ffmpeg
(http://winff.org/html_new/) in Fedora 17? Yumming doesn't seem to
provide and faint trail of such a packaged.

3) How can I find extensive info about Fedora packages where I can read
detail about them and search for appropriate one by myself (something
like http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages because
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/ doesn't work for me, I hardly can
find anything useful there.)



Thanks in advance for any help,
