FYI: ISA sound cards no longer supported
by Kam Leo
If you are using FC6 or FC7 and have problems with sound your problem
may be due to the developers removing support for legacy ISA sound
cards. The driver for the card will no longer be automatically loaded.
I discovered this after filing this bug report,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234021 .
If ALSA still supports your card all is not lost. The fix is to
manually tell the kernel to load the driver. In my case I edited
/etc/rc.local and appended the following two lines:
modprobe -r snd-sbawe
modprobe snd-sbawe
Change snd-sbawe to whatever is appropriate for your system.

system-config-users hangs
by Gene Lapointe
Hey everyone,
I have a machine running fc6 and I haven't touched it for awhile. It
was originally my desktop but I've set it up to be a LAMP machine as
well. I was trying to add a user today using system-config-users, but
it never comes up. I tried opening a terminal to see if there was any
output, but it just hangs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep a console to be like rhgb
by Leo
Dear all,
I am wondering if it is possible to keep one of the 6 consoles
(Ctrl+Alt+F[1-7]) to be something like rhgb, i.e graphical background,
widescreen resolution etc.
I am using Intel 855GME video card.
Regards,

How to set the default system (locale?) encoding
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello, Everyone
I believe that I have made an honest attempt at scouring OpenOffice.org
(SRC680_m210 Build 1) to find an easy way to set this. Also, I have
had no luck finding an answer on this list or any other reasonably
locatable location on the Internet.
That being the case, here is my problem. I have used the Sword
Project's "diatheke" command to output the Bible into plain text files,
divided by chapter and book.
If (as an example) I open up "01-Genesis.txt" in KDE's KWrite, Genesis
4:22 looks like this (in the screenshots that follow, keep
an eye on the name "Tubal–cain"):
http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Genesis422-ss-001.jpg
If I do "Insert | File" from within OpenOffice.org, I get the following:
http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Genesis422-ss-002.jpg
If I open OpenOffice.org and just open the same file referred to in all
of these examples, it looks like this:
http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Genesis422-ss-003.jpg
Then, if I copy and paste the sample verse, book, entire Bible,
whatever from KWrite (which displays all occurrences of this
"hyphen-like" character correctly) into a new OpenOffice.org text
document, it looks like this:
http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Genesis422-ss-004.jpg
As you can see, this "hyphen-like character" displays correctly in
KWrite. Also, it will display correctly in OpenOffice.org IF I copy
and paste it from a non-OpenOffice.org application.
The verse also correctly displays in gedit. BUT, if I display the same
file using abiword, vi, emacs or less, it does not display correctly.
In "Tools | Encoding" in KWrite, I have it set to "utf8"
So I guess the question is, "What SHOULD my default encoding be set to,
and how and where do I set it so that it is respected by all
applications?"
My system is Fedora Core 6, and my Desktop Environment is KDE (Branch
3.5 compiled from SVN)
I wanted to get this off now to give all of you brilliant Ladies &
Gentlemen an opportunity to contemplate my issue. In the meantime, I
uninstalled the OpenOffice.org that I was running, and I am now
downloading and installing the most recent FC6 version of OpenOffice.
That should make sure that the playing field is level :) But, this
issue is not confined to OpenOffice.org, as stated above. So, this is
"probably" either a Fedora Core 6 issue, or an issue with my system....
If you need any more information, please let me know.

slow login to ssh trough nat to server
by Rick Lim
Hi there,
I have a ssh server sitting behind a nat device, when I ssh in from the
internal network its instant.
If I login from the internet thru the nat device the ssh login takes about >
30 seconds.
I'm sure it must have something to do with either ssh or pam doing a dns
lookup.
Can't figure out how to fix it, anyone got any suggestions?
TIA

shouid the kernel-headers package equal "make headers_install"?
by Robert P. J. Day
technically speaking, should the content of the kernel-headers
package equal the output of running "make headers_install" on the
kernel source tree? or something at least reasonably close?
