Profile Manager
by Steve Fink
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a profile manager for laptops? For example:
I want to be able to create different hardware profiles for my laptop to
be undocked, docked into dock #1, and docked into dock #2.
Currently kudzu runs and either adds or removes hardware based on which
dock I'm in or undocked as the case may be.
I have to type in the new network info each time and it's time
consuming.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Best,

Windows Print Share
by Jorge Cecílio
Hi all!
I'm trying to configure a remote windows print share on my fc2 system.
I'm using Gnome Print Manager and Printer configuration tool. After selecting "Networked Windows (SMB)" as queue type, it shows 2 machines (a Windows 2000 and my fc2 box) but not the one I need.
Where is my Windows XP Home machine (the one I shared a printer)?
Some issues:
1) Even if I click on "Specify" button and (manually) write all the parameters (machine, share, password,..), no connection seems to be made.
2) I've no problem accessing the remote Windows machine shares (e.g. Computer/Network/Windows Network/Workgroup/shares_names (Nautilus 2.6.0))
3) I'm testing on a (parallel) Lexmark 1100 and I use the recomended driver (lm1100). As this is a remote printer, should I select another driver??
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
JC

Cyrus-imapd delivery problems on FC2
by Phil Anderson
Hi,
I'm playing arround with cyrus-imap, as I'm interested in converting our
site (40 users) from dovecot. I have been able to get the the server up
and running without too many problems. I created the mail boxes (e.g.
user/pza, user/pza/Junkmail, etc), and was able to copy my mail across
from the existing dovecot server (running on an alternative port) using
thunderbird.
However, getting procmail to deliver incoming mail to my cyrus inbox is
causing all sorts of problems. My best attempt at a procmail script so
far is:
=========================================
USER=`basename $HOME`
INBOX="/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver -a $USER -m user/$USER"
JUNKMAIL="/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver -a $USER -m user/$USER/Junkmail"
LOGFILE=/tmp/procmail.log
# Check for spam
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc -u $USER
# Positive SPAM
:0
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YES$
| $JUNKMAIL
:0
| $INBOX
=========================================
The only changes I have made to my default cyrus configuration is (but
they don't make any difference to the problem below):
altnamespace: true
unixhierarchysep: true
But for some reson, mail fails to to get to the inbox. Until I added -v
to the lmtp command in cyrus.conf, there was nothing unusual in
maillog. After adding the -v, I'm getting the following:
=========================================
Jul 31 14:39:56 harry lmtpunix[13440]: accepted connection
Jul 31 14:39:56 harry master[13452]: about to exec
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/lmtpd
Jul 31 14:39:56 harry master[13400]: process 13440 exited, status 75
Jul 31 14:39:56 harry master[13400]: service lmtpunix pid 13440 in BUSY
state: terminated abnormally
Jul 31 14:39:56 harry lmtpunix[13452]: executed
=========================================
Anyone got any idea what I might be doing wrong with lmtp?
Thanks,
Phil

/etc/X11/xorg.conf anyone?
by javajunkie
Hello,
Can anyone post an example /etc/X11/xorg.conf with and without nvidia entries.
I upgraded from RH9 and X wouldn't start as there was no /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I copied and old XF86Config and X runs but I get many errors which in all the troubles I am having can't seem to fine but I think it was a problem with a "glx" module ... but that is specified to be used in the conf I used.
This is what I am using. I was unable to get nvidia support going following thier how to although under RH9 it worked fine.
Anyway, I just want to check that my xorg.conf file is not all goofy.

RE: Harddisk measuring
by Roger Grosswiler
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your information (and the short english-lesson :-)).
I think also, it concerns some pins of the harddisk. This is what i
meant with the investigation, as the homepage of the supplier doesn't
deliver me the data to verify it myself.
also from ear, i hear the access of the disk while reading data, but
always a very silent noise to, which could be also caused by another
device.
hdparm -t unfortunately isn't really helpful...but anyway thx for the
response. i placed a ticket on the hd-supplier also at the
notebook-producer.
Thanks

I need a little more help with the the install...
by Jonathan Hooker
I recently downloaded the four install files for fedora and then burned
the first file to a disk just to make sure the computer would see the cd
and prompt me to start the install. I figured that it wouldn't be this
easy but I hoped. How do you get the comp. to see the cd? And also, is
it as easy as just putting just a copy of the .rpm file on a cd? Please
help!!! Thanks!

Harddisk measuring
by Roger Grosswiler
Hi,
i had to setup my fc2 box because of a hd crashed. after installing my
new, all went well - except the busy light of the harddisk now burns
permanently. As response from the supplier i got: this might happen, new
hd's use 3.3V instead of 5V, so if you motherboard not recognizing it,
it is no problem - but the new hd is 5V either - they should know, as i
sent them models, serialnumbers and all of it - another example for a
helpdesk not really caring about the problems of their customers and
just replying without a good investigation before.
I know, here i am in good hands.
so, i expect that even if the busy lamp burns permanently, the ide-disk
doesn't turn fulltime. it's just the lamp. so perhaps some pins at the
disk are a kind of weird.
i look now for a tool, that measures rpms of the ide-disk, without doing
benchmarks. so i could see, if no i/o-operation is going on the speed
should be 0, and if some i/o-operation going on the speed of the disk.
i was searching for days now in internet and found for win many toosl
using s.m.a.r.t - this tells start/stop but almost in % and doesnt
really help me.
why this damn light is disturbing me? i use a laptop - if this hd
doesn't stop spinning, i don't have so much battery-lifetime, thats all.
so, does somebody know a tool, where i can measure the rpm's? it should
really be some kind of daemon or whatever, that just measures the actual
speed of the harddisk.
thanks a lot.

Just added a second Hard Drive
by Andrew Konosky
Well, I just installed my other 80gb hard drive in as slave rather than
trying to setup a RAID array right now. I am trying to decide what to do
with it. I am thinking that I could have Windows on one drive and Linux
on the other, but that would force me to reinstall one of them, and I
would prefer not to. Is it better to have the OS' on seperate drives or
the primary drive? I know in Windows I can set my virtual memory to a
partition on the second drive and it will improve performace, but I have
512mb of RAM, and Linux rarely ever uses my swap space. The most I have
seen used was 3%, so it would be almost useless to make a new swap
partition., or would it be? How does grub deal with this?
Is there a program that could just copy my Linux partitions over to the
second drive? Then I could just use fdisk on the windows boot CD to
delete my ext dos partition (only has 1 game instaled at the moment
since I have been using FC2 mostly, so no big loss...), then create a
new one using the rest of the space on drive 1, and create logical
drives from there. And then on my second drive I would have my linux
installation with a whole 80gb to it self, rather than sharing 40gb with
windows.
On my current setup, I had 2 Windows partitions (C and D), so I could
only create 2 more for some reason during the Fedora insallation. I have
a ~38gb "/" and a 2gb "swap," but was unable to create a seperate boot
or usr partition. If I transfer my install to the second drive, would it
be possible to change this configuration?
Or would it just be easier to make a second install of Fedora on the new
drive, copy my stuff over from my current fedora install on the first
drive, then edit my partitions to delete fedora on the first drive?

Re:IMAGE EDITOR & WEB BUILDER

Hi.
The Gimp can handle basicly as many colours as the file format you are
working with can handle.
If you were stuck with 256 colours, I assume you were working with a
.gif file. As I recall, GIFs have a limitation of 256 colours.
JPEGs however can go up to "full colour" (24 bit)
So if you want more colours out of your image check the file type.

freeze during boot with kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 ?
by Thomas - Lists
hi there,
I just installed FC2 on an Athlon64-3000+ in 32bit-mode.
I don't want to go for 64bit until its really stable.
It runs fine with the defaul 2.6.5-kernel but with
kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 it freezes during boot.
At first it shows a small error (in 2.6.5 too) "Failed to allocate mem
resource" then stays there for a while,
then tells "starting nash ..." and thats all. With 2.6.5 it continues
afterwards without any problems.
Any ideas which could cause this? I would really like to use the
2.6.6-kernel as it has powernow-k8 built with it ;).
Some specs: athlon64-3000+, 1 GB Ram, Matrox G550- graphics, SATA-HDD.
TIA,
Thomas
