Fedora development: scp has really slow transfer speed
by Kenneth Jensen
I just installed Fedora Development on a server that was running
Fedora Core 3 until this afternoon. Now I am trying to copy my backup
data onto the box, with scp and I realise that the transfer speed is
close to DSL speeds - while I am on a LAN, with a 100Mbit connection
to each mashine (and a GB fiber based backbone). :(
It is currently copying a 600 MB tar file at the tremendous speed of
82 kb/s, which will take a couple of hours... I have been doing these
kind of scp and rsync operations all the time, and usually the
transfer speeds are around 10-11 MB/s.
Anybody has an idea of what's going on?

RE: trying to setup for a remote installation
by bruce
no stephen.. i don't just need a kvm.... to look at the remote monitor...
i have a system with no cd drive... i need a way of installing FC3. i can
copy the isos to the system harddrive, and then what?
i wanted to be able to do this whole thing somewhat remotely, walking
through the Fedora/Anaconda install process.... for now, i'd settle with
being able to stick a boot floppy in, and somehoe pointing to the iso dirs
and starting the Fedora/Anaconda process that way.. although this would mean
i'd have to be at the server...

While I haven't tested remote installs this way, I'd be willing to bet
it's possible, but this is _not_ kickstart. I think you get this point
now, but kickstart is for fully-automating installs. It doesn't mean
you can't monitor an install, but it sounds like all you really need is
a network-capable KVM so you can look at a remote console.

help with playing audio files
by Tathagata Deb Goswami
Hi,
I have been trying to listen to audio cd's /mp3's in linux,I have a dual
boot
Fedora/Xp system. Linux is able to recognize the files on the cd's but
it just would not play when I try to use Audio player. This happens
for both regular cd audio as well as mp3 files.
I tried to see whether Linux is able to play anything or not , so
when I used ' test sound ' in sound options, it did play that.
Plz can you guys help.
Thanks

Problem with USB Pen Drive
by Diego Ruiz
Dear all,
I have just upgrade to FC3 and I fece the following problem:
When I boot using the kernel included in the distribution, if I
insert my pen-drive in the USB port, it immediately mounts and the
corresponding ICON appears in the desktop.
However, after downloading all the updates and the FC3 Kernel, if
I boot by using the new Kernel, the drive does not mount
automatically.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Diego

From googling around the net --
1) Got any USB devices connected to your PC? If so, disconnect them.
Some versions of Fedora have problems with USB devices. Why, I don't
know. I bumped into this jproblem with Fedora Core 2 64-bit.
2) Are you installing it on a separate hard drive or a second partition
on one drive? People have reported problems trying to get Fedora
installed on a second partition with Windows on another partition when
both partitions are on a single hard drive. A separate hard drive for
each OS is usually considered the most trouble-free way of dual-booting
a machine.
3) I just checked the website for your board. Warning number 1) -- Not
all MSI boards can support Linux. Warning number 2) Your particular
board uses ATI chipset drivers. These may not be supported by Linux,
or at least Fedora, yet. You may need to email MSI's tech support to
find out if you can run Linux on your board. You may be out of luck
with that board and unable to run any version of Linux on it. It's a
new board, and I suspect that these ATI chipset drivers may be ATI's
first foray into chipsets for motherboards, so they may be too new to be
included in any Linux distribution yet. Like I said, you will need to
contact your motherboard manufacturer to find out for certain one way or
the other.
Hope this helps.

syncing users to slave system
by rado
Hi!
I am trying to sync all user files from a box running as master to a
slave system.
the files I know where and should sync are:
/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/group
/etc/skel
I cannot seem to find the files that hold the users
also...if there are any other files y'all can think of that would be
necessary for this task.
thx
John Rose
