How to connect FC4 PC with windows PC
by ravisagar@gmail.com
I have two boxes at home. One running windows xp and other running FC4.
I would like to connect them two together in a network using cross wire
RJ45.
Can I connect them using the usual method by assigning 192.168.0.1 to the
first and 192.168.0.2 to the second. With Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Regards,

IBM 6549 G96 CRT Monitor Help
by Edmund C. Daulton
I am attempting to install Fedora Core 5 on a Dell Dimension 9100 with an
IBM 6549 G96 CRT monitor and I need help. The installer states that I have
an "unknown monitor type" and then all I get on the monitor are vertical
lines on my screen. Can anyone help me with this??

First, _Please_ do not post in HTML to the list.
To answer your question: You state that you are doing an install.
If the graphics install does not work, try a text install by entering
"linux text" at the boot> prompt.

weird messages in /var/log/messages, FC4
by Joachim Backes
Having a lot of weird messages in /var/log/messages in my FC4 machine such as
Jul 2 10:08:43 lindb gconfd (backes-8188): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0
Jul 2 10:08:43 lindb gconfd (backes-8188): Resolved address
"xml:readwrite:/usr/people/backes/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1
Jul 2 10:08:43 lindb gconfd (backes-8188): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 2
Jul 2 10:08:46 lindb gconfd (backes-8188): Resolved address
"xml:readwrite:/usr/people/backes/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 0
I guess it has to do with gnome.
Does somebody know what this means?
Many thanks.

Re: Re: How Do I?
by Eugene Poole
Both answers from Sam Varshavchik and Gene Heskett go 90% toward solving
my situation due to me not providing all of the physical environment
explanation. I use all 4 IDE ports - and not in the normal
configuration. However, when I've completed this hard drive install it
will be normal.
I'll post the final solution when I've completed the install.
Thanks Loads

GDI laser printers
by Henk Altena
Recently I installed fc5_64. I want to replace my HPDeskjet with a
monochrome laser printer:
Brother HL2030 or Samsung ML1610/1710. These are so called GDI printers
(not postscript or pcl6).
In CUPS these printers are NOT listed however there is an item 'GDI
printers'. This means that all GDI printers do work ?

Serious LDAP Authentication Issues[Scanned]
by Chris Bradford
Hi guys,
I posted a while back about an LDAP authentication error I am getting,
now I've since found a work around but its messy to say the least. I'm
hoping this will catch one of the developers attention.
If I configure LDAP authentication to my Windows Server 2003 Domain via
Services For Unix 3.5, the majority of my users cannot log into the
system, there is an error like this that flashes up:
login:../../../libraries/liblber/sockbuf.c:89: ber_sockbuf_ctrl:
Assertion ' ( (sb)->sb_opts.lbo_valid == 0x3)' failed
If I run "id %username%" - ie "id chrisbradford" i get:
id: ../../../libraries/liblber/sockbuf.c:89: ber_sockbuf_ctrl: Assertion
`( (sb)->sb_opts.lbo_valid == 0x3 )' failed.
uid=10010(chrisbradford) gid=10000(LinuxUsers)Aborted
So this appears to be a problem when obtaining the secondary group
information as submitted in this bugzilla report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187448
Now, what I've noticed is that this seems to be a problem with the newer
nss_ldap libraries (ie 249 & 250), I say this because FC4 *does not*
have these problems, and neither does Ubuntu 5.05/6.06 (which uses
libnss-ldap 238) The latest version of OpenSuse *is* however affected by
this issue and it has a more recent version of nss-ldap
The workaround under FC5 is to install BerkelyDB, OpenLDAP and then
nss_ldap-250. The catch is that the ldap libraries only work for a short
while before these problems arise again, thus they have to be
re-installed via a cron job *every hour*. This is madness! The setup of
all this adds around 2 hours to a basic install.
Has anyone else experienced these issues, and if so have you found a
more permanent solution, and one that does not take so long? I'm
determined after getting a fix going that I would help get this fixed.
I imagine its a pretty serious issue, as an enterprise of around 500
workstations we're keen to use Linux, and I'm keen to push FC5, but this
is hindering our roll-outs.
Many thanks,
Chris Bradford

what you should be paying attention to is the installation instructions
from the livna repo instead: http://rpm.livna.org/ also note that the
news post from March 29th points out that the steps necessary have
changed. (hopefully they'll get around to updating or appending the
original instructions to reflect the change)
This having been said, I should warn you that with the current
kmod-nvidia I experienced quite a bit of error WRT memory corruption
that reflected back into swap, which reflected back into what actually
got onto / -- I wound up having to manually fsck /, redo my swap
partition, and uninstall kmod-nvidia, after which my problems went
away.
Fortunately I was able to get quite a bit of debuginfo that will get
forwarded on to the lovely nvidia folks with a pound of thanks for not
open-sourcing their drivers so things like this could get caught sooner.
=P
my advice: live without kmod-nvidia for now. It's *not* ready for
prime-time; not because of livna but because of nvidia themselves.
Many thanks to Mike Harris for straightening me on this, and for
assistance with the recovery process. Cheers dude, where do I send the
beer? :)

Package to represent network traffic
by Anne Wilson
I once had an installed package that gave a graphical representation of
traffic on the network, but I can't remember its name. I've tried searching
yum with a few guesses, without success. Can anyone help?

Nope. That's one of the experiments I did before rolling back to the old
kernel and the situation doesn't change at all.
