Not long ago, I saw the same issue, I've fixed it with:

if you are using halt, this command doesn't work anymore, you should use

halt -p

Yes. I've noticed that too, maybe for saving resources (disk

You can still use Gnome/GTK apps on KDE, and with Oxygen-GTK theme they 
look almost as KDE/QT app.

Update to KDE 4.6 breaks kbluetooth

2011-04-02 Thread Athmane Madjoudj
Hello,

I have just applied all updated of F14 including KDE 4.6.1, now 
kbluetooth won't run anymore, it seems that kbluetooth is incompatible 
with the new kdelib (ABI change)

$ kbluetooth
kbluetooth: symbol lookup error: kbluetooth: undefined symbol: 
_ZN5Solid7Control16BluetoothManager4selfEv
unnamed app(4412): Communication problem with  "kbluetooth" , it 
probably crashed.
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : " "The 
name org.kde.kbluetooth was not provided by any .service files" "


It seems that openSuSE users have the same issue:

IMHO, the best way is to add a new user ex: firefox4, then run FF4 as

AFAIK, VMware Workstation 7 / Player 3 have a feature named "Easy 
Install" when the "New VM Wizard" detect Fedora, it insert a second CD 
into the VM which have a kickstart containing the settings used in the 
Wizard but unfortunately the generated kickstart have a syntax error.

The solution is to choose "Install system later" and then insert the 
Fedora ISO/CD/DVD

PS.
In my experience only Windows guest can be installed with "Easy 
Install", BTW now I'm running KVM, only my laptop run VMware Player 3 on 
Fedora 14 (no VT).

AFAIK, VMware Server Remote Console plug-in is not updated to newer

Dia is very good for diagrams drawing (network, electronics etc..) and 
it can open MS Visio XML format and XFig files, to install: yum install 
dia or search for dia in PackageKit

Getting yum groups short-names

2011-01-13 Thread Athmane Madjoudj
Hello all,

Does anyone know how to get yum groups short-names used by "yum install" 
instead of those used by "yum groupinstall" ?

Eg:

# yum groupinstall  "X Window System"

# yum install @base-x
   
   group name like this


Best regards.

This is related to bash; to fix you need quote the parameter value with '
ie:

# audit2allow -w -a 'node=(removed) type=AVC 
msg=audit(1288923096.835:99): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=16148

Maybe you need to install VMware VIX API (already installed with 
Workstation) and use "vmrun" command, also libvirt has support for 
VMware ESX and GSX (aka Server).

BTW, if you machine support AMD-V or Intel VT-x, go with KVM, better for 
usage with CLI and GUI through libvirt/virsh and virt-manager, and all 
tools are Opensource and included in Fedora / RHEL / CentOS.

Fedora 14 security spin minor issues

2010-11-03 Thread Athmane Madjoudj
Hello all;

I've just installed Fedora 14 security spin (I already enjoyed Fedora 13 
Sec Spin) into a VM and I've noticed that they are no background and no 
install icon on desktop (I have launched installer from terminal)

$ liveinst

is this normal, or it's a bug (It may be related to LXDE spin which 
Security Spin is based on)



PS.
The screenshot shown in [1] has a F14 background !

Sounds like Selinux is blocking the port, can you disable it temporary 
to see if it works:

# echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

# Retest again

# echo 1 > /selinux/enforce

I have tried the following applet:

ps aux | grep java

shows only me (not root) as user .

isn't related to "/opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpnagentd" which runs as root ?

By Fedora firewall config only allow incoming SSH, for HTTP you need to

I have tested FF4 in a Fedora Guest (VM) to ensure that my FF3 settings 
and plugins will not be trashed, I'm not sure, but i think that FF4 
API/ABI have changed, try to read release notes maybe you should find 
some useful infos.

I guess that you have x86_64 so the right link is: [1],
just untar and run ./firefox

 From what i understand, It a mix between PackageKit and Gnome Control

it looks slightly like Ubuntu Software Center [1]

What I liked in those wallpapers is the focus in one object that 
represent a specific fedora version without ignoring the rest of the 
graphic .

I meant with high quality / definition: the specific object looks real 
with a fedora touch ie: blue.

Sorry I'm not good in design terminology!

just like fedora 10, there's one wallpaper "Blue Sun" but with different 
contrast, this may solve some issues with people who hate dark wallpapers.

IMHO, the best Fedora wallpaper was "Fedora 7" flying high. Fedora Core 
6, Fedora 10 and 13 wallpapers are also good.

I think that it will be nice to see some variation of the chosen 
wallpaper, maybe people will change their opinion.

It's recommended to use KVM is your system support Hardware virtualization
otherwise try to use VMPlayer 3.1 which is known to work with F13 (i use 
it) or if you insist on VMware server 2.0 then RHEL/CentOS are better 
Host OS, F13 has a new kernel, VMware server kernel modules are not 
supported with new kernel.

Firefox memory problem on Fedora 13

2010-07-11 Thread Athmane Madjoudj
Hello all,

I have updated my system to Fedora 13 i686 after release of F13, now 
when i download some thing with Firefox it eat up a lot of memory - 
about 800MB when downloading a 700 MB ISO file -

i have solved this by using wget instead of Firefox download manager.

Many users have this issue with different platforms and OS - see [1]-


I want to ask the fedora users before i fill a bug.

does anyone has this issue in F13 ?


Version of firefox:
firefox-3.6.4-1.fc13.i686

Try Mencoder (MPlayer)

mencoder dvd://1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate="1200" -oac 
mp3lame -lameopts br=128 -o dvd.avi

You can see the man page for more options like zooming, scaling and 
subtitle stuffs.

man mencoder

There's also GUI frontends:

you can try something like:

ffmpeg -i VTS_01_1.vob -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800 -g 300 -bf 2 -acodec
mp3 -ab 128 VTS_01_1.avi


you need to active RPMFusion repo and install ffmpeg.

Well explained Kevin,

freshclam is part of "clamav-update" from Fedora repos:

Eg in my system (f13 i686):

rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man5/freshclam.conf.5.gz
clamav-update-0.95.3-1301.fc13.i686

AFAIK, ClamAV (the engine of.) is more efficient  then all AV software 
except Kaspersky AV.

See review here:

http://cybernetnews.com/best-linux-antivirus-kaspersky-clam-norton/

To install ClamAV on Fedora or RHEL (through EPEL) (as root):

yum clamav-filesystem clamav-data clamav-lib clamav-update

Update AV DB (as root):
freshclam

Hint "i" key when Fedora start to boot and don't let wine service run 
ie: answer: N

after that turn off wine service

chkconfig WINE_SERVICE_NAME off

or

run:

system-config-services

and clear the check-box of wine service.

I thinks that "|" char means "OR" "Synonym", this is common convention 
in manpage and computer documents in general.

man yum

remove | erase package1 [package2] [...]

Why vim-X11 is not included in the main fedora DVD

Hello

I'm wondering why vim-X11 package which contain GVim is not included in 
the main DVD while emacs is.

I don't think that is a size problem.

Should I file a bug "as request" in Bugzilla ?

Thanks for advance.

Also you can use:

1. Firefox extension:

2. CLI : youtube-dl URL

to install: yum install youtube-dl

Most desktop software included in f13 are stable (Gnome, Firefox, 
Thunderbird etc ...)

if you have upgraded from a very old version of fedora try to remove dot 
files/dirs in you home dir.

I agree, in addition Firefox is more powerful for web application 
penetration testing and HTTP protocol analysis ( through extensions) and 
it is more memory friendly comparing to Chromium.

RHEL and clones (like the best know CentOS) have a long stable ABI/API 
in contrary to Fedora which bring the latest stable free / open source 
software (sometimes beta)

This mainly why some commercial vendors don't officially support Fedora.

Also try ClamAV is the best open source anti-virus which is packaged in 
Fedora and RHEL through EPEL, I use it in my Laptop/Desktop and company 
  Servers / Mail Gateway etc.

when i opened  http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/ , i found this

These packages have been temporarily removed, due to legal concerns

so the question is:

is there another binaries for f12 i686 ? or we just switch to google

AFAIK, rsync doesn't support ftp.

I use VMware Workstation 7  on Fedora 12 i386 since day when kqemu
support has been dropped,

My system is a laptop w/ Pentium Dual Core and 3 GB RAM.

Try to reduce the memory of guest os allocated by vmware (eg: 256
instead of 512) it's depend on host ram.

If your system support VT-x go with KVM.
