For example, if a program relies on hardware or data that I don't have on my laptop, but I want to read the manual on the laptop I install the manual without the program, if possible. That isn't what happened this time.

audacity manual dependency
Hi there. Still running f16 which I know reaches EOL in a few days. Been reluctant to install f18 due to hearing that install program had some major problems, although I guess I will have to give it a go shortly. I had audacity and the audacity manual installed. When I found that the build of audacity I had would not handle mp3 files I attempted to remove audacity because install of audacity-freeworld which includes mp3 support failed due to a confilict with the existing audacity package. Yum informed me that it was going remove audacity and audacity-manual. Removing: audacity i686 2.0.2-2.fc16 @updates14 M Removing for dependencies: audacity-manual i686 2.0.2-2.fc16 @updates18 M rpm -q --filesbypkg audacity-manual gave a long list of files in /usr/share/audacity some html files, images, etc. It does not seem right that the manual has to be removed to remove audacity. Seems like a bug to me. Not sure where to report it. Is it just in the fedora packaging or upstream? I just copied audacity-manual/* to audacity-manual-wtf but would like to report this so it can be fixed. Will do some more digging later, just thought I'd ask to see if anyone knows where a bug report should be filed. I looked on http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org and did not find anything when searching for either dependency or manual.

After 40 seconds they can try three more times. I prefer this so if I manage to trigger the rule myself I only have to wait a minute before I can login in again. Usually scripts that try to break in try repeatedly in rapid succession. I like to keep my iptables rules separated from the rest or the rules, so I add a separate chain and jump to that chain at the top of the iptables file. :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [111266:23783263] :local_input_filter - [0:0] -A INPUT -j local_input_filter Some of the other things suggested in this thread are also good ideas. Set the ssh port to something other than 22 (some high number like 32291), not allowing root login, requiring a key to login, etc. I had a system that was subjected to many attempts to connect via ssh, and adding those two rules, plus moving the ssh port reduced the attempts to a trickle.

You probably have something set wrong on your end. Double check the server names, ports, and authentication. If you can't get Evolution to play, try Thunderbird. With either program, you will have to enter your password at least once and you have the option of having the client remember the password so you do not have to enter it every time. At my school we switched to microsoft for email a while ago and there are two ways that I know of that work. The approach I took, since I do not care for outlook and I like gmail, was to use the web access to login to my email MS account and setup forwarding, so that all of my school email gets forwarded to my gmail account. Gmail will let you set your account up so that you can use your school email address as the from address for messages that you send (you can also use the gmail address as the from address - there's a dropdown list to select the address). If you don't want use gmail then Thunderbird will work. A professor that I work for uses Thunderbird on his home system and it works fine. As was mentioned in the discussion about Evolution you have to make sure you check the box for TLS and get the server settings right. One nice thing about using Thunderbird is that your messages get downloaded to your system so you can still get to the downloaded messages if your internet connection goes down, or if you use a laptop and are somewhere with no access. When I had a dodgy ISP at home I used to use Thunderbird to download my gmail messages. Whichever way you wind up resolving this, once you get it working be sure your email client is set to leave the messages on the server. I'm not sure about this, but deleting messages on the server after they are downloaded may be the default.

The installation guide looks similar to previous versions and it discusses install.img: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Installation_Guide/s1-steps-hd-installs-x86.html Someone else asked about this about a week ago and no one offered an answer. It would be nice to know if there is somewhere to get install.img for f15 or a pointer to directions to create one. For some of the systems I'm using fedora on a hd install is by far the fastest (instead old, slow usb or cd/dvd). BTW - while fishing an answer to this question I noticed some errors in the installation guide and filed a bug report, just mentioning it so no one else takes the time to file one for the same thing. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710814 Cheers, Mike -- 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

Re: Not enough info, so no point
Have you removed the scsi card, as Marco suggested? I would do that before doing anything else. You said that there is nothing connected to it and the system crashes right after the scsi bus is reset. Yank that sucker out and see what happens. Zero risk, and it might solve the problem.

Although I do not use fail2ban this sure looks like a bug. You should probably file a bug report. If you want some protection from ssh intruders here are a couple of iptables rules you can use until the fail2ban problem is resolved. -A local_input_filter -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m recent --set --name SSH --rsource -A local_input_filter -m recent --update --seconds 40 --hitcount 3 --name SSH --rsource -j DROP If someone tries to login to your system via ssh more than 3 times in 40 seconds any further packets will be dropped.

I think he meant that the quotes are optional for the echo $i - which is correct. Personally I avoid spaces in filenames and usually use a perl one liner to substitute an underscore for spaces when I don't have to keep the original name for someone else. zsh works without any quotes, the first example works fine for files with spaces in the names with zsh.

I also installed the new vmlinuz and initrd in a subdirectory of /boot but that isn't relevant here so we can skip those differences. Here is what was different for my config: 1. created a directory named images at the same level as the DVD.iso 2. copied install.img from /images of the iso to /images on the hard disk (so on the install disk there was /Fedora...DVD.iso and a directory named /images with the install.img file copied from the mounted DVD.iso) 3. The last entry of the line with the repo info in grub.conf only contained the *path* to the iso *not* the name of the file. In your case, I think that this would have worked: kernel /vmlinuz repo=hd:/dev/sda5:/ Mike -- 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

With cron jobs you usually have to specify fully qualified paths for everything, maybe you script is not doing that, then not finding something it needs to do its work.

One area where I've noticed significant improvement is selinux. This is the first release where I haven't just given up and run selinux in permissive mode. In fact in some earlier releases I just disabled selinux altogether.

If you're using gnome try this at a shell prompt: gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command One my system, where firefox is the default browser, the response from gconftool-2 is: firefox %s You should see something similar, except with chrome (or whatever the executable is called), instead of firefox. Sounds from your description like the %s is missing, since %s is a placeholder for the url. If you are not using gnome, let us know what you are using (kde, xfce ...). Then you'll probably have to wait for someone else to help with kde or whatever. In general, if you have a question about the gui, you need to specify what you are using for your desktop.

Finishing the most recent one The remaining transaction had 228 elements left to run" Then after a very long list of packages it wants to remove including: bash, yum-utils, and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau it says: Remove 159 Package(s) This sure seems like it will kill the system. uname -a Linux mred.localdomain 2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Thu May 27 02:56:20 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Same thing on another, yet to updated system that still has f11 on it. Similar results on an even more out of date system with fc8 which has a bunch of empty directories and one lone file /etc/skel/.xemacs/init.el. Anyone have any comments on whether there are supposed to be more files in the /etc/skel tree, why mine is empty, and what to do about it?

The same system with the same BIOS settings booted from a CD. I'm guessing that that system's BIOS was too old to be able to handle booting from a DVD. Just a WAG, but since the CD got me around my problem I didn't bother digging any deeper. > It's not the end of the world, > as (hopefully) I can transfer the DVD iso file, > and add a stanza in grub.conf . > If you are going to a hard disk install you may want to look up a thread on this list with the subject: Fedora 13 beta ISO install from hard drive There are some differences in the HD install from previous releases.

Re: sshd get path to authorized_keys file wrong

Your log it lists port 39169, but the sshd_config you posted has Port 22 - I'm guessing what you posted as your sshd_config doesn't match what was in place when the log messages occurred. I never allow root login, it just seems like asking for big trouble. I always set PermitRootLogin no and use sudo or su - as needed after logging in as a normal user, which seems much safer. Please post another message saying whether or not the AuthorizedKeysFile change(s) worked for you.

This bug claims that this was a firefox issue and fixed in ff 3.6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445543 I will test this later with firefox 3.6 and see what happens. I currently have firefox set to *not* open pdf's because I prefer to save a local copy and look at it later with evince or acroread instead of viewing the pdf in the browser.
