I had a similar problem with RH9 up to FC2 using a PS2 KVM. My
solution was ultimately to buy a USB KVM and ditch the PS2 one. None
of the driver changes I tried made any difference.
Sometimes I could temporarily solve the problem by Ctrl-Alt-F1,
Ctrl-Alt-F7 (basically go to a console screen, then back to X).

Re: clamassassin with call to clamav software corrupts mail
by Richard E Miles
I found out that clamassassin does not cause duplicate mail messages because
even if I commented out the .procmailrc rule I still experienced the
duplicate mail messages. I have since updated clamassassin to version 2.2 and
have modified my .procmailrc rules to reflect Alexander Dolloz
suggestions. I found out that the duplicate mail generation occurs if I
leave fetchmail running for an hour or more. I don't know why. I find if
I stop fetchmail after a lull in receiving messages that I don't experience
the duplicate mail messages. I am puzzled by this. I will once more show you
my .procmailrc file after I have made the corrections. If you see something
amiss please let me know.

Hi All,
What's the best way (in Fedora, of course) to turn a PCL5 print stream
into a PDF document ?

FC1 confusing Firefox 1.0 and mozilla-1.4.3-1.fc1.1.legacy
by Beartooth
This may interest someone here.
I downloaded the Firefox 1.0 tarball, untarred it, did the install, and
the very nice new installer ran fine, and opened 1.0. When I closed it,
and then tried to open it from a launcher, I got only 0.9.3 -- and I got
it from the mozilla launcher as well as the firefox launcher.
I cleared out all the firefox I could find, did the download over, and
moved the two files into /opt. Repeat the whole routine, including the
reversion to the supposedly deleted 0.9.3.
Remembering an old release of phoenix, I tried doing "/opt/firefox/firefox
&" from a command line. It gave messages, and not the prompt back; but it
launched 1.0 It asked me, again, about updating the extensions which it
had discovered in my supposedly deleted 0.9.3 -- and checked, and did the
ones it found. That may be significant; I don't know.
Then I inadvertently crashed my gnome-terminal, from another tab, in an
ssh session running pine remotely -- nothing to do with browsers.
Re-launched the terminal, and had to recreate all my tabs (I generally run
five or six, with different color backgrounds for different standard
apps.)
This time I put in an extra tab for firefox. The same command worked --
right, with no messages and a proper return to prompt. So I wouldn't
really need an extra tab just for it -- as I did, at one stage, for the
old phoenix.
But the system still confuses browsers -- in an odd way. If I launch
mozilla, either from the main menu or from a launcher in a drawer on the
panel, what happens depends on Firefox. If Firefox is not running, I get
mozilla. If firefox is running, I get another instance of firefox.
This is no very great inconvenience, since I rarely use mozilla; but how
weird can you get?? And if I ever should want to launch mozilla when
firefox is running, can I? By hacking a command like /mozilla/mozilla,
maybe? I haven't tried that -- yet ...

Strange CUPS behaviour??
by Patrick
When I print a document to a CUPS printer (connected through a local network to a FC2 computer), it gets printed correctly.
But.... the "printing" icon on the taskbar remains.
When double-clicking it, the status of the document reads something like "transmitting" (I'm Dutch and don't know for sure which syntax is in the English version)...
Any idea what's causing this? Can it be because the server is running FC2 and somehow the CUPS software changed in some way?

NFS 4 client, NFS 3 server
by Shahzad Chohan
Hi Guys,
When Fedora core 2 came out I installed on my desktop. I quickly
realised that FC2 nfs would accept the nis automount home directory,
which is on rhel 3. Has this issue been reolved in Fedora Core 3. Or
will I be in a situation where I might never be able to upgrade until I
upgrade the server to NFS 4?
Thanks
Shahzad

Got the same problem yesterday evening on my machine at home. It is a
P4P800 deLuxe mobo with 2 S-ATA drives. Did you already logged it at bugzilla?
I planned to do this when I'm home and gave time tonight or tomorrow.
Did it also change the default boot number back to 0, where it should have
been something else. Kernel upgrades nevere did that to me until yesterday.
