getting hibernate / ACPI suspend to work
by Chris Jones
Hi,
After recently getting standby and suspend to work on my FC3 laptop (by
finding out that the agp settings for the nvidia driver needed tweaking), I'm
trying to get hibernate (suspend to disk) to work for my dell 8600. I run kde
and activate standby / suspend from the klaptop battery icon. However, if I
try hibernate nothing happens. What is this applet doing behind the scenes -
Can I activate these from a console to see any errors etc. ?
I understand I probably need to install something to get hibernate to work,
but not sure what (software suspend 2 perhaps ?). Has anyone managed this,
and do you know of any good instructions on how to do this.

doing weird commands whenever i press them, and i would like to set
them to be back and forward commands as they are default in windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FC3, NT 4 PDC, auth problems after upgrade
by Martin Marques
I finished upgrading a few weeks ago my RH 7.3 server to FC3, and I'm having
trouble with an NT server which is the PDC of the domain.
The problem is that my samba server si configured to autenticate against the
PDC server (euler.matematica) when ever someone wants to get a resorce:
security = server
password server = euler.matematica
This is an old configuration which worked for years, and after upgrading to
FC3, when ever someone want's to log in to the PDC (euler.matematica), they
get pass OK, but they can't get there profiles from the samba server, as well
as no other resorce from it.
In the log files I get this:
[2005/05/02 08:54:36, 1] auth/auth_server.c:check_smbserver_security(263)
the challenge that the password server (EULER.MATEMATICA) supplied us is not
the one we gave our client. This just can't work :-(
Can someone give me a hint. I can't find any kind of documentation on it.

RE: what 'user' are acpi scripts run as? Forcing DCOP to look atcurrent user?
by Birt, Jeffrey
This is strange! This is the perl script which controls the back light and screensaver depending on the lid switch position.
# Manage the backlight. Even if we're not going to sleep, it makes sense.
if ($will_sleep==0 && $device eq "LID") {
if ($lid_state eq "open") { # reopening.
backlight "on";
system "su -c '/etc/acpi/actions/perl_dcop.pl false' birtj";
print DEBUG "It's off\n";
} elsif ($lid_state eq "closed") { #closing.
backlight "off";
#system "dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface enable false";
}
}
This works fine if I call it manully from a root console. If it's called from via the acpi lid switch event the backlight is turned of but the screen saver is not turned off. I assume this is some wierd permissions related problem. Something like a script called by the 'system' can't call a script as a diffrent user?
I'm lost any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff_Birt

I believe they're executed as root.

Yes -- use 'su -c' to do this.

by James Kaufman
I have two monitors being fed by one Matrox G550 video card. I have a Pinnacle
TV card as well. I can run tvtime on the first monitor and all is well. If I
try to run it on the second montor, I see the error message:
xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images.
Any thoughts? Pointers?
Thanks.

X doesn't start
by Deboo ^
I had a normal working X a few days back. I have a dual bot system and
needed an app for a few days to work on som eproject so did not boot
in to linux for some days. Now when I boot in to linux, neither do I
get the gdm screen for login nor can I start X from console. I got the
error : "Failed to load default font fixed.
This PC has an Intel 865GF MB which is not detected by the kernel
2.4.x which I'm on but still X was doing okay. I tried booting off of
knoppix and copying knoppix's XF86Config but now I get the error : No
screens found. How is knoppix able to start X and when I copy i t's
XF86Config, that doesn't work?
I kept looking for some tool to configure X, but there's no console
tool I could find. There used to be xf86config in old RH systems but
even that is not in Fedora, stramge! I have searched the Fedora
install CDs but there's no such tool
This raises another question: Is there a rpm equivalent to Debian's
apt-cache search and apt-cache show commands?

apache/gnome service question..
by bruce
hi...
i've had to build apache1.3.33 on a FC3 system. apache2 normally sits in the
'/etc/httpd...' dir structure. apache1. seems to be placed in the
/usr/local/apache...' dir structure.. can anybody tell me how i can
configure/build apache1 to be placed in the same area as apache2...?
also, the apache1 doesn't show up as one of the services in the Gnome
service listing. can anyone point me to how i can get it to show up as one
of the services, or can you point me to a site on the web with this
information. tried to search with google, but didn't find anything useful...

a2ps problem
by Michael Hennebry
Since changing from RH9 to FC3, a2ps is misbehaving.
The default behaviour, (-2), gives me virtual pages
with 68 lines and 80 columns apparently without
reducing the font width.
The left pages run into the right,
the right pages run off the page.
Room for 68 lines was apparently achieved
by skimping on the inter-line space.
What's going on?
What can I do about it?

Problem with automatic mounting of USB device
by Diego Ruiz
Dear all,
After installing FC3 (Kernel Fedora Core 2.6.9-1.667), everytime I
inserted my USB memory drive, it was immediatelly mounted by the
system.
However, after downlading and installing all the updates and the
FC3 Kernel (2.6.11-1.14_FC3) the device does not download
automaticaly.
Meover, if I boot with the previous Kernel, the USB does
automaticaly mount. The /etc/fstab file looks the same in both loads.
Thanks,
Diego
