configuring eth0
by jery_wang
Hi All,
Just finished installing and am in the process of configuring FC3. Overall the install seems to have gone well, but I have a minor issue configuring my ethernet card. In the past, I have always aliased "/sbin/ifup eth0" to "net" and "/sbin/ifdown eth0" to "nonet"
I would edit my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to include the lines: USERCTL=yes and ONBOOT=no and everything would work. With FC3, I get the error message "users cannot control this device." I am able to run "neat" and bring the interface up or down through that though.
Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?
TIA,
Jim Dishaw

I believe you are correct. There is usually a signed attachement in addition
to the actual text. We are required to use M$ Exchange and get our mail through
an exchange server at work. It also does our calendering. M$ Exchange is has a
lot of brain damaged features, but the alternative is to buy the Linux exchange
client myself and install it on a machine here. I have not gotten that desparate
yet. I will search for GPG or PGP plugins for this beast. Thank you for the
recommendation.

Finding md5sum program for Window
by Kye-Sang Lee
Hello all,
I don't have any working linux machine yet, so I like to download FC3 using my Window XP PC having a CD-RW drive.
And I want to verify the MD5 checksums of downloaded images on my XP, before burning them, as recommended.
Is there a md5sum-like program for Window? Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Kyesang Lee

emacs crashes: X protocol error: BadWindow
by Andrew B. Young
I am ssh'ing into a Fedora Core 2 box (that is not up2date) from an
up2date Fedora Core 3 box and running emacs, displayed back on my FC3
box. When I depress the left mouse button AND then move the mouse to
select some text, emacs crashes. The terminal has the error--
[younga@mfg Test]$ emacs
X protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on protocol
request 38
[younga@mfg Test]$
Anybody seen this? What more information should I gather (and how) to
diagnose the problem?
Thanks,
Andrew

Re: Strange CUPS behaviour??
by Patrick
Fortunately, I'm at home, so here's something.
When I print a file, it prints, no problem.
After the printing is done, the print-icon stays visible.
A second print also comes out fine, no problem.
Again, the print-icon remains on the taskbar.
When I place the mouse-arrow on top of it, it reads: "2 documents in queue". But they are gone already. The queue on the server is (also) empty...

Dont know if this helps you, but my icon remains as well, tho it tells
me that the status of my document is compleated. Have you tried to
see if it'll print another document?

Avoiding 8.3 FileNames when CD Burning
by Allan Metts
Hello all,
I've got a Fedora machine in the field that is burning CDs -- the file names are all appearing with 8.3-format file names when the CD is loaded into a Windows box. The entire file name shows just fine when one mounts the CD in Linux.
I have Rock Ridge extensions enabled. Here's my burn command:
mkisofs -R my_directory | cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance,
Allan

Re: flakey mouse problems
by rado
latest thing I(rado) found:
checking another Fedora box that I did a full install on, NOT an
upgrade, incidently, the mouse is fine in this
box...the /etc/sysconfig/mouse and grep -i device /etc/X11/xorg.conf
readouts were exactly the same as on this box except for this following
line:
FULLNAME="Generic - 3 Button Mouse (PS/2)" instead of Wheel Mouse
but I just don't think that FULLNAME could be the problem huh???
I got a sneaky suspicion that it might be in this very old Athelon 850
processor/mb deal...what do you people think along these lines??
what has me stumped is how come the mouse performs great in the other 3
boxes ...one box I know for sure w/the exact same driver as this one but
yet this box is so flakey.
rado
...
ok...first, for what it's worth:
[root@rbmain conf]# cat /etc/sysconfig/mouse
FULLNAME="Generic - Wheel Mouse (PS/2)"
MOUSETYPE="imps2"
XEMU3="no"
XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"
DEVICE=/dev/input/mice
[root@rbmain conf]#
the mouse: it's like, if maybe I hit an edge of the screen it goes
bananas...if maybe sometimes if it passes over the task bar it just
starts throwing everything to the screen...then maybe if it happens to
pass at the top of the screen and hits a program menu it just starts to
open up stuff that was never opened...this is not just a constant
deal..I cannot pinpoint it as it's not something that I can make repeat
constantly...that's why I described it as just "flakey" ummm maybe like
a lady w/pms w/a loaded 45 in her hand? ::ducking:: hahahaha
that's bout all I can say bout it, Peter,
If there was someway that I knew the exact driver required for this
mouse...I probably have it already installed...I dunno tho...and if I
knew exactly how to install it...or it's path...I could probably tweak
it in xorg.conf
thx
rado

cannot access /mnt/windows
by Red Dragon
I have been having this problem since day one with fedora. I have
everthing setup to read my NTFS drive. I have it mounted and can see
it as root, but no user account can see it, and only root can mount
it. I really don't know what to do here. My fstab line looks like this
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,unmask=0222 0 0
I have tried everything and one thing did work a cmd line
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222
then I can read it in a non-root mode. I got the info from
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html#4.0
has anyone else had this issue.
