Re: New D_BUS download
by Bill Case
Hi;
Just updated D-BUS using yum. Now my evolution doesn't work and
evolution's mailing list is down while they move to gnome facilities.
I had evolution set up so that in my user2 I could su user1 and run
evolution from there. The why and the wherefore of that arrangement is
a long story. Nonetheless, it worked successfully for me for 6 weeks
but now I get the following error message:
Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: No reply wi thin specified time
4943: arguments to dbus_connection_get_data() were incorrect, assertion
"connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 4478.
This is normally a bug in some application using t he D-BUS library.
4943: arguments to dbus_connection_set_data() were incorrect, assertion
"connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 4442.
This is normally a bug in some application using t he D-BUS library.
** ERROR **: Not enough memory to set up DBusConne ction for use with
GLib
aborting...
I just want to work in user2 and get the email, tasks, contacts and
calendar of user1. I am both.
Now what?

Slightly OT: Systems Admin Books
by Paul Lemmons
I got me a $20 Amazon gift certificate today and it is burning a hole in
my inbox. I would like to buy a good Linux Systems Administration book
and would welcome recommendations. I already bought the Linux in a
nutshell and was a little disappointed. It is a great command reference
but does not have enough details on networking, disk management, tuning
or really anything that is part of managing a Linux server. So, if you
any of you have any experience in this area, I would really appreciate
your advice in how to part with my $20(+) wisely.

OT: DNS Failover
by Mike McGrath
I'm curious about how others in the Fedora community are doing DNS
failover. Specifically I have two sites, one primary (in a large city)
and one secondary (out in the middle of nowhere). The idea is that we'd
host DNS out of the secondary site to use the web servers in the primary
site.
My question is how are people handling outages at the main site. If the
primary site burns down or all the servers get stolen or something, is
my only option a manual of the configs to point from one to the other?

What does FC4.ppc use the iBook's little front light for??
by Beartooth
There's a little round white light on the front of my G3 iBook, below
the keyboard, not even visible when it's off, that blinks about twice a
second, and makes some small noise as it does -- not noticeable across the
room, but *very* insistent if you're sitting at the machine. So much so,
in fact, that I imagine it has to be some sort of alarm.
Apparently different OSs put this light to different uses; I'm told Ubuntu
made it indicate hard drive activity -- and had to change that posthaste,
because there was a roaring chorus of complaints.
So what is Fedora trying to tell me? And why is it so intense about it?
(If it's anything less than that the machine is about to self-destruct,
physically, and maybe take me with it, I urge that it be changed.)

Update DNS from DHCP problem
by Dusan Djordjevic
Hi all,
Although this is RHEL related problem, I'm sure that someone here also can
help me.
I run DNS and DHCP on Red Hat ES v3, with all updates. I want to update DNS
tables from DHCP, so whenever client gets IP address from DHCP, it will
automatically add it to DNS.
Here is relevant part from named.conf:
zone "pmsl.sd" {
allow-update { 127.0.0.1; lan; };
type master;
file "pmsl.sd.zone";
};
zone "212.29.158.in-addr.arpa" {
allow-update { 127.0.0.1; lan; };
type master;
file "212.29.158.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};
lan is ACL for local network.
DHCP configuration:
ddns-update-style interim;
and in subnet part:
option domain-name-servers 158.29.212.26;
but still I have this message in logs (and of course, DNS is not updated):
Aug 30 08:38:56 pmsl dhcpd: Unable to add forward map from krtws024.pmsl.sd to
158.29.212.100: connection refused
Any idea ?
TIA...

Please don't post HTML to the list, and this doesn't even come close to
what I'm looking to do. I know how master and slave DNS works, I'm less
concerned about the actual DNS server and more concerned about where the
DNS address is pointing to.

Its good to know that this isn't as simple an answer as it seems it
should be, I'll be testing the multiple A record possibility over the
next week or two, I'll post the results. From what I understand having
multiple A records can work in many occasions, but as far as DNS is
concerned it wasn't designed to do that.

That's not a very nice thing to say ("Read The F*-ing Manual"). A simple

Problem with xsane and printer
by Bill Baker
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Every time I start xsane, I lose the ability to print to my printer and
I have to reboot my computer to regain the ability to print. Both the
printer and the scanner are daisy chained off of the parallel port.
First in the chain is the scanner, which is an HP ScanJet 3200C and the
printer is an HP DeskJet 812C. I've tried restarting CUPS and even
deleting and re-adding the printer, but those don't seem to work. Does
anyone else have any ideas?
The software versions I'm using are:
sane-backends 1.0.15-9
xsane 0.95-3
cups 1.1.23-15.1
