java applet input problem?
by Alimin Bijosono Oei
Hi guys,
I am running FC3 here and recently encountered a problem with typing
inputs to an opened java applet window from
http://www.global-view.com/fxtrekcharts.html. When clicking on
Indicators on the toolbar, and then selecting to one of the indicators,
say Exponential Moving Average > New, a java applet window is supposed
to pop up and allow us to input the parameters.
I used to be able to do this but now after updating my Fedora box to the
latest bunch of updates available the problem appears. I am not sure if
this is the problem with the java applet itself or it is related to java
installed on Fedora or something else. Can anyone verify this? (I
tried opening the same page with latest Opera, Firefox, Mozilla, and
Konqueror, all with the same result). Thanks a lot for any help provided.

PCMCIA UMTS Card - Network speed Problem
by Reinhard Sy
Hi
if I insert my merlin U630 UMTS-Card from vodafone into the PCMCIA-Slot
I see the following in /var/log/messages.
Mar 31 08:54:06 localhost cardmgr[3214]: socket 0: Serial or Modem
Mar 31 08:54:06 localhost kernel: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 10) is a
16550A
That looks fine.
Then I use:
minicom to set the PIN which works fine. ( the blue light is blinking/
UMTS)
now I start a connection with:
% ifup umts
and all is fine the connection is established:
ppp0 Protokoll:Punkt-zu-Punkt Verbindung
inet Adresse:10.XXX.XXX.XXX P-z-P:10.64.64.64
Maske:255.255.255.255

TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:3
RX bytes:110 (110.0 b) TX bytes:182 (182.0 b)
routing looks like this:
~ $ netstat -r
Kernel IP Routentabelle
Ziel Router Genmask Flags MSS Fenster irtt
Iface
10.64.64.64 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
ppp0
default 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
ppp0
But I am very unhappy with the flow rate I got only a max of 8Kb/s.
How I can improve this ?
If I use the same card on the laptop (dell C800) with W2K then I got
345kb/s.
Here my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-umts file:
ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Modem
DEVICE=ppp0
BOOTPROTO=dialup
AC=off
BSDCOMP=off

WVDIALSECT=umts

Any hint would be great

The alias should look like
Alias /webmail/ "/usr/share/squirrelmail/"

Thanks Alex and Matt! Unfortunately, I've tried all
options, with quotes, without quotes, with slash,
without slash--both on the alias and the
directory--and the result is the same. Could it be
something with the index.php file itself?

bad posting habits, jeremy bernstein and scientific cranks
by Robert P. J. Day
there's an old essay by jeremy bernstein entitled something like
"scientific cranks: how to recognize them and what to do with them
until the doctor arrives" (can't find it online, dang), in which
bernstein writes about getting regular submissions from obvious crank
scientists, claiming to have solved some of science's biggest
mysteries -- guys showing up with a unified field theory scrawled with
crayon on a shopping bag, that sort of thing.
bernstein goes on to list a number of clues that someone is a crank,
the first being that the crank doesn't understand even the most
fundamental basics of the field they're trying to overturn. someone
who clearly doesn't have a clue about simple physics will nonetheless
claim to have disproved the theory of relativity, you get the idea.
and another obvious giveaway is that the problem allegedly solved is
never a small one, it's never minor, it's never just an incremental
addition to scientific knowledge as it stands. rather, it's
invariably an all-encompassing, universal, ground-breaking discovery
that will shake the very pillars of science as we know it, etc., etc.
as i recall, bernstein claims that that's pretty much a dead giveaway
of crankhood since, these days, while you might get the *occasional*
wondrous discovery, most of science is just slowly and methodically
pushing the boundaries of what we know outward, just a bit at a time.
fill in a missing piece here, tweak or refine a little bit over there,
that sort of thing.
which brings us to mailing lists.
and as long-time mailing list participants will know, the concept of
ML etiquette may have started out a bit chaotic but, over the years,
it's settled down nicely. the fundamental principles have long been
in place and, as technology (like general science) marches on, those
principles might have to be tweaked or refined every so often, but not
much more than that.
and then (in the spirit of bernstein) the cranks arrive. no! they
proclaim! you've been completely wrong all this time! i bring you a
*new* unified mailing list theory which overthrows the current
orthodoxy! a theory in which HTML is a *good* thing, and in which top
posting saves time! i bring you the new paradigm of the next century
and, why no, i really *don't* know the current rules and why they're
there or why so many people have agreed to abide by them but ... no
matter! change is good, and years of constancy are to be swept away
by my new universal worldview!
cranks, the lot of them. bernstein would be amused.

Absolutely nothing! Also checked messages,
access_log, error_log, secure. All are clear when I
try to access the page "incorrectly" and get the 403.

Hi Shelagh,
I found your conversation with FlashTux via google. Looks a lot like
mine.
I think you got to 'timed-out connection' in the adsl-start
script. I had this too. But /var/log/messages had lines like:
Timeout waiting for PADO packets
Do you have anything there?

LVM questions for FC3
by Mark
Hi,
I have some questions regarding the use of logical volumes with FC3 systems:
1. What happens if a LV spans over mutliple hard disks and one of the disks fails while the server is running?
Can the server still keep on running on the other disks as long as no data from the broken disk is needed? Or does everything just
crash once one of the disks dies? As an extreme case, lets assume the broken disk does not contain any files or directories that are
used at all.
2. How big is the performance loss? Obviously, an additional layer in the file system hierarchy does mean additional mapping and
handling, meaning additional processor usage, meaning performance loss. In most cases this probably does not matter, but what if I
use the server for example as a mysql database server?
Thanks,
MARK

Correct videodev.h and videodev2.h files?
by Mauri Sahlberg
Hi,
I am trying to get mpeg4ip to work on Fedora 3 with quickcam-messenger
and so far have not had any luck. I can get the video source preview in
mp4live (1.2.11) to show picture from the camera after choosing PAL
instead of NTSC but capturing the stream causes either the mpeg4ip to
crash or it just records the voice.
According to the mpeg4ip developer Fedora distribution does not have
correct header files: videodev.h and videodev2.h included. And he gave
me pointers to the bytesex.org to look for them. What I found from the
bytesex was patches for the kernel. As I have no knowledge what the
correct header files should be, I assumed that the glibc-kernheaders
package just contained copies of kernel-header files from the kernel
distribution and the right way to go would be to patch the kernel,
install it and copy the videodev.h and videodev2.h from the
/usr/lib/`uname -r`/build/include/linux to /usr/include/linux. This I
did and got even more problems, starting from the compilation of the
mpeg4ip.
Obviously this is not correct way to go with the header files and I
still need to find the correct ones that are meant to be used with
compilation of user applications. Where I should look for them?

Top posting, html & list rules
by Gustavo Seabra
Hi all,
Sorry for starting yet another thread on this subject. I hope noone
will actually bother answering this post :-)
In one of the threads it was suggested that we should have some list
rules. Well, i just wanted to say that we do, somehow, at least a kind
of "release candidate" version.
They are not official, as in "signed by Red Hat" but, in my opinion,
they are as "official" as they can be, since they are a result of
extended discussions on this list, a real work of the whole community.
(Of course, not /everyone/ contributed but, since the discussion was
open in the list, we can safely assume that whoever didn't contribute
just didn't feel like having anything to add.)
We are moving to make it as official as possible. Meanwhile I just
suggest that, should we get e-mails that don't follow *our*
established netiquette rules (and we *do* have them), we can just
kindly remind the person of their mistake, and point them to the web
page.
That being said, just in case anyone doesn't have the link, here it is:
http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~seabra/linux/FedoraRules.html
P.S.: As can be noted from my sig, I'm a student. At this point, the
page is being hosted in my university, using a personal space that i,
as a student, have available. However, I'm am finishing my studies
here, and in a couple of months I'll be gone from the university,
which means that I won't have the space to host it anymore. If anyone
that likes this idea is willing to host this in a more permanent
address, please let me know. I have no problem mantaining it, just
don't have the host. Thanks.
