Hi,
Does FC5 have any tool which replaces system-logviewer (a graphical
application to view system logs) from FC3?
Thanks,

KDE screensaver issue
by anthony baldwin
Hi,
When my daughter is signed into KDE the screensaver works.
When I´m signed in, it doesn´t.
The only difference is, I have it set to lock my session.
FC5, just installed weekend before last and updated this past weekend.
Screensaver was working before update.
I don´t even have a clue how to diagnose the problem further.
Any assistance deeply appreciated.

I do not find any wireless device in Network Config Tool but an eth0
(my wired Ethernet card) and a wifi0 (another Ethernet card) that
seems connected to my wireless card (shown as Atheros AR5212).
If I digit iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wifi0 no wireless extensions.
ath0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:""

and my modprobe.conf is:

/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ;

alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
alias wifi0 ath_pci
Should I see a ath0 in my Network Configuration Tool???
I googled a lot (all this morning) but no easy and clear document how
to easy install this card!!!
Any help??

Linux equivalent to IBM Access Connections for Windows?
by Irvine Short
Hey All
I have a laptop running FC5 just fine.
I was wondering if there is a Linux equivalent to IBM's Access
Connections?
It allows you to define several profiles which control which http proxy,
smtp server, wireless network, etc etc you use depending on where you
are.
Cheers,
--Irvine

Re: Re: pre-install error: "Error mounting device: X as Y: invalid argument",

Indeed.

A wise plan. Install went OK, and the FC LVM app shows the volume correctly, however I now can't mount it (despite all the devices existing as they should):
# mount -t jfs /dev/mapper/MediaGroup-Media /Video
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/MediaGroup-Media,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
The last line in dmesg is:
JFS: nTxBlock = 8093, nTxLock = 64745
...and /var/log/messages shows no oopsie either.
Back at square one...

Burning iso images with nero

Hello!
I'm about to write my fedora core iso to a dvd rom.
However, I've gotten problem with this. When I write the image it goes very fast at writing, about 4 minutes. Then I get a small part of the dvd image on to my dvd, but not the hole image.
What could be wrong?

how to configure apache for viewcvs & tortoise cvs at the same time on FC3
by Ankush Grover
hey friends,
I am using cvs on FC3 and I have recently configured Viewcvs for browsing
the repository on FC3.The cvs client which we are using is tortoise cvs on
windows xp.
I want to configure tortoise cvs to show all the modules and the web log but
the problem we are facing is that
tortoise cvs needs full path to the repository to pull the modules list and
to show the web log and the viewcvs is using the script alias
http://172.16.1.10/viewcvs is the url through which we can view the
repository and the tortoise cvs needs this url
http://172.16.1.10/opt/test/
means full path to the repository.
viewcvs.conf file under /etc/httpd/conf.d
ScriptAlias /viewcvs "/usr/viewcvs/cgi/viewcvs.cgi"
<location /viewcvs>
AddHandler python-program .py
PythonPath "['/usr/viewcvs/lib']+sys.path"
PythonHandler apache
PythonDebug On
</location>
How do I configure Apache so that we can achieve both objectives that we can
fetch the modules list & see the web log through tortoise cvs and at the
same time view the repository through the browser?
Please let me know if you need any further inputs.
Thanks & Regards

[udev] Changing USB scanner group permissions
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
On one of my FC5 workstation I've got a USB scanner that's being
shared by me and my GF.
I've created a "sane" group (which includes us both) and edited the
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules file adding "GROUP="sane",
MODE="0660"" to the (appropriate) scanner line.
When I connect the scanner, the /dev/bus/sub/x/x device node ownership
changes to "gilboa:sane" (as configured) but somehow, someone
re-modifies (?) the access mode to 0600 (instead of 0660).
Anyone has any idea which file I should edit to keep the scanner
access mode at 0660 (instead of 0600)?
Thanks,
Gilboa
P.S. I did get it to work just fine on FC4. I just don't seem to
remember what I did to make it work...

KDEInit could not launch 'kuickshow'.
by anthony baldwin
KDEInit could not launch 'kuickshow'.
This just after an update, and, so far, I´ve only seen this when trying
to open .jpg files in a direcoty opened in Konq, by right click.
It opens .gif files fine in the same fashion.
Kuikshow is not opening from KMenu.
I haven´t tried any other format (.png, .nmp, .tiff, etc.)
An attempt to open it from terminal as tony gives this:
[tony@localhost ~]$ /usr/bin/kuickshow
/usr/bin/kuickshow: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/libkdeinit_kuickshow.so: undefined symbol:
_ZN9KURLLabel13setSizePolicyE11QSizePolicy
I could open it in terminal as su and open the .jpg files without any
problem.
I´m a photographer and artist, so having kuikshow workig is pretty handy.
I know I have other image viewers on here (KView is working fine), but
kuikshow is my preferred app
for surfing around my image and photo directories.
any assistance appreciated.
tony

How does the PCMCIA subsystem work on FC5? Who is responsible for loading modules on demand?
by Vini Engel
Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone could point me to the documentation here or
give me some more information on this. I would like to understand how
the PCMCIA subsystem works on FC5, what triggers the start-up scripts
when a card is inserted/removed and how the module is loaded.
Particularly how it decides which modules to load for that card and how
I would tell it to load an alternative module instead. My understanding
is that udev is responsible for that but I am not sure how it work.
Similarly, I would like to understand how the modules for the several
peripherals and other modules are loaded. Who decides what should be
loaded? What if I don't want to load a particular module e.g. IPv6.
If anybody could give me docs/info on how the OS loads/unloads modules
on demand that will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vini
