FC6 Nautilus CD/DVD creator problem
by Paul Erickson
I am having trouble with the Nautilus CD/DVD creator on one of my FC6
boxes. When I put a blank
disk in the HP 8100, the CD/DVD creator window comes up, but when I try
to write the files to the
disk, I keep getting an "Insert a writable or blank disc" message. No
matter how many times I click the
"OK" the message keeps coming back. I know the hardware is ok, because
K3B works fine.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I broke YUM
by Ric Moore
Dammit, in my rush to get onto the web with this stinky modem and even
stinkier connection, I copied my old repo stuff into yum... yup, it
blows sky high and complains about missing core and other aches and
pains. How do I re-install yum (for FC7) from scratch?? I dnloaded every
yum rpm I could find, but what rpm contains all of the repo stuff?? It's
not in anything named yum*.rpm as I dnloaded mc (Midnight Commander) and
examined them all.
Someone just shoot me, Ric

Anyone have F6 XSANE working with a HP6300 Scanner?
by Reg Clemens
I havent used my scanner in AGES, and during that time have had
a failure on my SCSI card, so I had to move the scanner from
SCSI -> USB.
However, while it USED TO WORK (and that may have been in f4
or earlier) with f6 the scan head in the scanner never moves.
So either my scanner has decided to die, or the software doesnt know
how to deal with this scanner any more (tho it says it does) via a USB.
Anyone out there running F6, with SANE and XSANE and a HP6300?

Devel packages gone missing?
by Ashley M. Kirchner
I'm looking for the -devel package for unixODBC and [a/p]spell.
Looking at my FC7 DVD, they're not on there. Looking at the updates
sites, they're not there. Can someone point me in the right direction
please?
Thanks.

sendmail sending slowdown
by Frank Cox
Suddenly (starting yesterday) my mailserver is very slow when I send mail
through it.
I cranked up ettercap on the server to watch what's going on, and it connects
immediately when I send mail, but just sits there for between ten and thirty
seconds before it finally accepts the mail for sending.
It looks like it's waiting for something to time out. But waiting for what?
The nameserver entries in /etc/hosts are correct.
The only thing that has changed is that I added SPF records to my DNS records a
few days ago. They are "v=sfp1 a mx -all". I don't see how that would be
related to this situation, though.
The only thing that I can think of that might be relevant is that my IP address
(my address, not the server's address) is defined as "theatre" in the
server's /etc/hosts file, but a rdns lookup on that address gives this result:
200.59.165.142.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
142-165-59-200.yktn.static.sasknet.sk.ca.
Could that be the issue? I thought that the system would look as far
as /etc/hosts and if it finds an entry there then it will look no further so
what the "real" rdns lookup says should be irrelevant.
I tried removing the spam blacklist entries that I have in sendmail.mc (spamcop,
spamhaus, etc), thinking that if some of those folks were offline maybe
that's what's causing this timeout, but that didn't fix it.
Nothing has changed (other than the SPF entries, but I put them in about a week
ago) but my mailserver is slower when I send it mail today than it was
yesterday.
Picking up mail, and the webserver stuff are all pretty much instant, just like
they have always been.
It may be worth mentioning that sending mail directly from the webserver is
still pretty much instant as well. I have a webmail front-end on there
(Squirrelmail, actually) and there is no wait when sending mail through it.
What could have happened here?
