Re: f12 sometimes is slow to start

 hi,

 I have been using the f12 (686) on a dell latitude e6500 laptop. This
 is my corporate workstation and so far it's working really nice.
 Everything works out of the box and configuring it to work with its
 docking station was very easy (much easier than expected). Great work!
 Thanks.

 There is one little problem. Every now and then when I boot the laptop
 it kind of 'freezes' and a few minutes later it works as it should
 without any other problems. I can change to a virtual terminal and
 login there, but if I try to login graphically it will take me like 2
 to 3 minutes to complete the process. I cannot see anything in the log
 files.

 Like I said, it does not happen all the time nor it is really
 annoying, but I would like to find out why this is happening. In
 /var/log/messages I do not get any errors. How can I debug the gnome
 login process?
   

Issues with the host file can sometimes upset gnome, check the
localhost, and make sure it is correct.

Help with a Bash script

2010-04-08 Thread Michael Thompson
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm quite new to Bash scripting, and just need a little pointer on how
to go through a file, and execute commands there in until the end of the
file is reached.

The idea is this, a list of iptables rules is downloaded, they are run
through a set of commands to get the file in a state ready to run. I
need to read each line of that file, and execute each one. I'm not sure
on loops in bash, and hope someone can help... :)

I download this file:
http://www.okean.com/antispam/iptables/rc.firewall.china

Then run it through this to sanitize it
sed 's/--dport 25//g' rc.firewall.china|cat|grep ^[ ]*iptables 
rc.firewall.china_mod

Now, how do I loop through that file executing each line in a for while
loop?

 Hi!

 
 Well, if your list of commands already is a script, then including it 
 would be the most convenient method.
 
 Let's say your list is called script then
 
 . path_to_script
 
 would do it...

Thats exactly the thought I came up with after sending the mail.

 
 In other case here is a small executor script which reads your file line 
 by line and executes it:
 
 #!/bin/bash
 # file: executor
 while read line; do
   echo Executing: $line
   eval $line
 done  $1

Thats exactly what I needed.

 
 If you start the executor with your file as the first parameter, it will 
 execute the lines one by one.
 
 # ./executor script
 

Many thanks for your help there, much appreciated.

Changing host name

2010-04-06 Thread Michael Thompson
When I change the hostname on my fedora 12 box, from the installation
default of localhost.localdomain, the network dies until it is reset back.

I'm changing the hostname by the Network control applet in Gnome, and
have checked that /etc/sysconfig/network and it lists the following

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=feddesk

ifconfig shows

eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:29:D1:7F:B3

I cant understand why the act of changing the hostname would kill the
network, has anyone got any ideas?

 localhost is assumed always to exist and to be bound to 127.0.0.1 (see
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost). You can of course give your
 machine another name as well (just add additional names to the localhost
 line in /etc/hosts), but you can't remove the meaning of localhost
 without breaking things.

Yup, I knew that. I'm changing the network name, not localhost. The
hosts file reads:

127.0.0.1localhost.localdomain   localhostfeddesk
::1 localhost.localdomain   localhost6localhostfeddesk

Believe it or not, I'm not stupid.

Uninstall from the package manager, and then install the download from

Anyone else got any ideas?
Each time I remove the USA layout from keyboard preferences, and the 
keyboard operates correctly, however when rebooted, the machine gets 
back the USA keyboard layout, and needs removing again to reset the 
keyboard back to UK. The UK option is always selected as default, 
however the USA is always enabled and active on boot.

Now sorted, I removed each of the layouts, and added UK back in, USA has 
now been readded by whatever is adding it back, but is at the bottom of 
the list, and the UK is active, and at the top of the list. It would 
appear that the position in the list is what determines the default 
layout, not the option selection of default.

 Look for .rpmnew files related to keyboard config somewhere in /etc

 I think it happened because of an upgrade from F11 to F12.
