Suggestion for knowledge keeper?
by Fajar Priyanto
Hello,
Currently I'm using Kate to keep notes, part of log files, my thoughts,
various passwords, bank account numbers, etc. Over 3 years now the file has
grown so big, that I think now it's taxing system resource too much.
I'm looking for a better solution. A friend of mine suggests tomboy, but I
don't like it. Can someone share your suggestion any tool for this kind of
purpose?
Thank you very much.

I have tried this product many times. What I fail to see
is if ClamAV automatically recognizes all data streams on
the fly and catches viruses before committing and does all
of this work transparently and automatically? This includes
but is not limited to applications such as Outlook/Exchange?
Will this product run on M$ servers? Does anyone have direct
experience having implemented this product on M$ platforms
and highly recommend it?
Kind regards,
Dan

kdump on Fedora 7
by Igor A. Nesterov
Hi,
I am trying to make working kdump on Fedora 7. The system is
Linux don2 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Aug 30 13:08:59 EDT 2007 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
with
kexec-tools-1.101-71.fc7
I honestly follow instructions from howto provided with kexec-tools
package
/usr/share/doc/kexec-tools-1.101/kexec-kdump-howto.txt
Everything works well, kexec -l works fine and kdump service starts
fine, except that when I do force-crash to test it, then after the
system is rebooted there is not any memory dump in /var/crash. Attached
is a kernel log acquired with a serial cable starting from SysRq trigger
and up to the successful restart of the original kernel. From what I can
see in this log crash kernel boots and goes up to the point, where the
normal kernel starts initrd execution. But right after that instead of
starting kdump initrd crash kernel suddenly does the cold reboot and the
normal system start happens. What's wrong with my setup? Has anybody
run/tested this functionality in Fedora 7?

Sony Ericsson W850i + Fedora
by Ian Chapman
Hi,
Does anybody successfully use the Sony Ericsson W850i mobile phone with
Fedora in USB (mass storage) mode? Whenever I use it, I see "attempt to
access beyond end of device" fill up my logs. If I reformat the card,
the phone seems to reformat/partition the card itself leading to the
same errors. I'm wondering if a firmware update is likely to fix it, or
if there's a work around linux. I'm pretty sure it's the phone at fault.

Yes, I am aware of it, but again I cannot prevent the messages being
sent. Since you do not believe AVG is a good product, do you have any
suggestion as to what is a great free product for all platforms? I am
using an M$ platform as well as many un*x variants (Solaris, Linux, and
others)? I would LOVE to learn of other products especially that of network
based A-V/S products, free, of course. I am but poor and cannot afford
the fee nor subscriptions.
Kind regards,
Dan

Accidentally removed important packages
by pete@safeplace.net
Hello All,
Thank you in advance.
I know that I should have been more careful, but I don't
know what to do now.
I ran into a version conflict over libstdc++ where I needed to downgrade
to an older version.
When I removed the package (carelessly, I know) it removed some 311
dependencies including:
grub
initscripts
hal
passwd
rpm
yum
and a bunch of other really important things.
Is there any way to salvage this using the rescue CD, or something?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Sharing a printer with Mac OS X 10.4
by Andre Costa
Hi all,
I am running F7, and I've been trying to share a PSC 1510 HP USB
printer with my girlfriend's MacBook Pro, but so far no joy. She keeps
saying "of course this won't work, it's Linux". Of course she's wrong,
I just need you guys' help to prove it to her ;-)
First I thought that going to the Printer configuration dialog and
setting it as "Shared" should do the trick. Not really: her Mac
doesn't see the printer on the network. Since she's looking for
"Windows Printers", I tried starting SAMBA with the default
configuration, but it didn't help either.
Shouldn't CUPS sharing be enough? Is SAMBA really necessary? If so,
any hints on how to achieve this?
TIA
Andre

No. The free AVG scans and attaches these messages AFTER email is sent.
It also scans incomming messages and attaches similar messages before
I can open it for review.
