Firevire cdrom

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I'm banging my head against the wall for the past two days trying to get my
firewire cd/dvd working. It was working with SuSE in 2.4.20 and RH9, but
since I've installed Severn, it just doesn't want to anymore. I have tried
the following:
severn's own 2.4.21 kernel(s)
Arjan's 2.6 test 1,2 kernels
vanilla 2.6 test2
2.6.test2 bk5
2.6.test2 mm5
All of them failed in sbp2 (sbp2 would load and hang/crash). The bug is listed
at http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/18/22 Please help!
Cheers,
Laur
The hardware is Dell x200/firewire CDRW/DVD

Just an idea!
by Bjorn Andersen
Hi
An idea:
Why not make an extension to Nautilus applications:/// so it can handle
rpm installations? (like OS X)
Example: if I drop an rpm file in the applications:///Internet, the rpm
program will install as usual, but the icon for the program I installed,
will show up under Internet in the GNOME-menu.
If some conflicts ac cure, YUM cold resolve the depencies, against the
RHN (subscription based).
That cold be THE THING, that wold turn over new users.
Just an idea...

If RHN was providing the means to upgrade to a 'test' version of the
software, it could also provide the means for the use to return to their
prior release of the software, so making the recovery process straight
forward.
Another option, would be to provide a different version of the RHN
software within the Beta ISO's, so allowing people who have already took
the risk of installing the Beta ISO to also test future / unstable
packages. Again providing a use for RHN subscription during the beta
process. I would have thought this could be as simple as changing a
configuration file to point the RHN software at a beta/test server.

OpenOffice 1.1 RC2
by Brian C. Huffman
Just curious, but when can we expect to see rpms for OpenOffice 1.1 in rawhide -
based on the release cycle of betas, I've been expecting to see it for quite
some time but not a glimpse. Ximian has it in red-carpet as a snapshot, but I
prefer if possible to keep RedHat vanilla....

Promoting LDAP vs NIS on RHL
by Dax Kelson
An LDAP directory can have numerous advantages over NIS. For example:
* Strong mutual authentication of client machines and LDAP servers
* All network traffic and be encrypted (by mandate even) via SSL or TLS.
* A rouge root on client machines cannot access user data, collect
encrypted password strings for user accounts
* Shadow password functionality including aging can be used
I would like to encourage Linux sysadmins to "properly" and securely
setup LDAP directories as opposed to NIS.
What can be done to encourage this?
For starters, it would be nice to have a good generic LDAP directory
browser/editor that was SSL/TLS enabled. RHL7.3 shipped with a decent
one, GQ, but it was dropped.
The slick looking "directoryadministrator" can be used to administer an
directory post-setup.
Any have other ideas?
I'll have a follow up as well.

Re: OpenOffice 1.1 RC2
by Brian C. Huffman
Understandable....I played around with it myself for a while trying to migrate
the spec file from 1.0.x to 1.1 and eventually gave up. Good to know that you
guys are working on it though. I don't know if you can answer this, but is it
planned to be in the next release?

Can't send evo mail in Severn
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage
I did a from-scratch install of Severn last week, then restored my
~/evolution directory from a backup of my Shrike system. Since then, I've
been unable to send outbound mail thru my ISP's sendmail. The error I get
is:
Error while performing operation:
MAIL FROM response error: Command unrecognized: ""
Has anyone else seen this behavior? (This msg sent via squirrelmail, not
evo.)

ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/prelink/0.3.0-1/
by Jakub Jelinek
Hi!
I've changed prelink so that prelinking is done automatically
(if prelink is installed and it is not disabled in /etc/sysconfig/prelink),
by default nightly in quick mode and every fortnight in full mode.
I'd appreciate if you could check it out and report any problems
into bugzilla. Thanks.

skipping audio on severn
by Gregory Boyce
Hello,
I've been running the severn beta on my machines at home for the past
week or so, and I've been noticing a problem on my desktop machine that
I'm curious if anyone else is seeing.
I'm getting rather audio skips in xmms playing mp3 or ogg files when
doing even the simplest of tasks on the machine. Switching between
different workspaces causes a slight skip, and I can even cause slight
skipping by just moving the mouse around.
For an audio driver I'm using the via82cxxx_audio driver. My audio
controller in lspci is:
00:07.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686
AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
I'm using xmms with the esd output plugin. Increasing the buffer size
to 7000ms doesn't help in the least.
I didn't have this problem at all with Redhat 9, and if I run Arjan's
2.6.0-test2 kernel, no skips show up at all. Unfortunately I can't run
it regularly due to an annoying mouse issue where the scroll wheel stops
working under that kernel.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Re: Rhl-beta-list digest, Vol 1 #66 - 19 msgs
by Abraham Al-Saleh
I don't know Mr. Cox, I have always found lokkit to be rather limited.
Maybe I just haven't used it enough, but I never liked it. Usually when
I start with a fresh Red Hat install I delete those chains/rules and setup my own.
I would probably use Lokkit more if there was some sort of builtin support
for setting up things like NAT. but that's just me, I'm not sure how many
people agree or not.
