Fedora 9 VPN Client
by Kevin Kempter
Hi All;
I have several clients I work with all of 'em have some sort of VPN - some are
java web based, some are PPTP, Cisco, etc
Anyone have recommendations for a good VPN tool (tools) ?
Thanks in advance

gnome-settings-daemon crashes immediately upon starting up... but only in KDE
by Kelly Miller
For some odd reason, gnome-settings-daemon keeps crashing immediately upon
startup, returning the following error:
The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 2669 error_code 8 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
[1226361695,000,xklavier.c:xkl_engine_start_listen/] The backend does not
require manual layout management - but it is provided by the application
Apparently, this may be a conflict between evdev and gnome-settings-daemon,
but I don't notice a problem when I log in to GNOME, only when I try to start
it via command line in KDE.

how to count nfs clients attached to my server?
by Skunk Worx
Is there a way, on a server, to discover how many clients are currently
attached to a NFS file share?
I'd like to be able to see a list of the clients that have "my" NFS
share mounted.
It's my understanding /usr/sbin/exportfs gives a list but it is not
reliable as it depends on clients un-mounting the share properly.
I suppose the nature of NFS makes it impossible to maintain/calculate an
accurate client list, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

kernel build error.
by Reg Clemens
When building 2.6.27.5 on a 64bit machine running a 64bit kernel, there is an
error in the build which reads
<trim>

<trim>
later, when the script is trying to build the kernel, I see the same message,
<trim>

<trim>
Whats going on here, and what am I doing wrong?
First time Ive ever seen anything like this...
With this suffix, is this a debug file of some sort, and can I just
not ask for it (I dont see that I do)

Pulseaudio
by Lars Bjørndal
Hello!
Could you please help me with a Pulseaudio problem:
My setup is a Fedora 9 system on a laptop IBM X61, installed from
a livecd. My default init level is 3, and I use console most of the
time.
When I do # init 5; I get the following errors, and I have no sound
under GNOME:

In my /etc/selinux/conf, I have 'SELINUX=disabled'.
I've set gdm and lrs (the latter is my only real user) to be members of
pulse-rt group.
What could I try to solve this problem?

chkfontpath ?
by Dave Feustel
I want to add a collection of unicode fonts to my fontserver. I have
downloaded the fonts and unpacked them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. I
have created the files fonts.scale and fonts.dir. Now I want to run the
command chkfontpath -add /usr/share/fonts/truetype, but there is no
command chkfontpath on my system (F9).
Is there another way to add these fonts?
Thanks.

In vim, entering ctl-V u xxxx works. This does not

Is there a way to enter unicode characters in xterm?

Fedora 9 boot problem with HP NetRAID 1Si controller
by Jack Lauman
I reinstalled Fedora 9 on a HP NetServer 2000 that had been previously
running Fedora 4.
Rebooting the machine following the install gives the following errors:
Booting the kernel
APCI: Resource is not an IRQ entry
pnp: PnPACPI: METHOD_NAME__CRD failure for PNP0400
....
i2o: iop0 could not activate controller
(it stalls here...)
As I recall when I originally installed FC4 it needed the megaraid_mbox
driver. I sure it's not loading the right i2o driver either.
Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack
