As root run
$ system-config-network
under the DNS tab set your hostname
save changes and restart your network
$ service network restart
Then try the hostname again

I'd check how the hostname command runs on your computer,
See what happens on my F8 system:
[dennis@confianza ~]$ hostname
confianza
[dennis@confianza ~]$ hostname -s
localhost
[dennis@confianza ~]$
the -s option returns 'localhost' so it will never = the name of your computer.

I made that "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|most" and started slogging.
Other than the two lines below, I see nothing that even might be
enlightening.
===== ===== =====
(II) VESA(0): VESA VBE OEM: VIA K8M890CE
(II) <default pointer>: Setting mouse protocol to "ExplorerPS/2" (It's
actually a USB mouse, currently behind a MiniView G-CSIO4U KVM switch.)
===== ===== =====
Btw, I *run* machines behind the KVM switch; but I *install* OSs,
one machine at a time, with the machine pulled out from behind the switch
and connected directly to the peripherals.

Jack Audio Not Working
by Chris Spencer
I'm unable to hear any audio using the Jack server. I've followed the
guide at http://www.passback.org.uk/music/fedora-music-intro/ and
everything seems to work, except that I don't hear anything. If I
connect VKeybd to ZynAddSubFX using QJackCtl, then hitting keys in
VKeybd causes the decibels to spike in ZynAddSubFX, so I think Jack is
working but it's output isn't getting to ALSA.
Another interesting point is that while Jack's running, I can't play
music in any other apps (Audacious, VLC, Timidity, etc). However, as
soon as I stop Jack, sound returns.
Is this a bug somewhere, or could I have something mis-configured? Any
help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

1. Did you apply the reboot=bios setting as well?
2. Did you try more than once, with the new bios?
What you're describing sounds more like a fluke, or at least a problem
unrelated to the bios update. There's nothing in your rc.local, thus
nothing there which should make a difference. Reapply the most recent bios,
set the kernel boot parameter, and give it a few more tries to check.

is it possible to create an orphaned process?
by Konstantin Svist
Hi all,
I have an odd application that has threads which hang around until all
child processes have finished executing.
I'd like to create a background process that isn't a child of said
thread, so that the thread can exit.
Can this be done cleanly?
Thanks!

nvidia quadro 135m issues - fc9
by potat0
I have a problem which I was hoping someone could send me in the right direction. I have a nvidia quadro 135m working with the latest driver from the nvidia site on fc9, but occasionally my screen will flicker, even when the screen is idle. Additionally any time I have the laptop docked using dual screens my they will both display very "chopped up" pictures and machine will freeze to the point of having to hard boot it.
Any insight/help/thoughts/flames are much appreciated.

Backup Server RAID Suggestions
by Mike McMullen
Hi All,
I am trying to build a NAS server based on Fedora 9.
I will be using a de-branded HP Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core with 2GB RAM and
two 250GB drives mirrored for the OS stuff and a few apps.
I would like to add some type of raid storage box to it with about 5 1TB
drives using raid 5 unless there is something better.
I want to use the system for photography work flow and backing up a few
Windows systems.
My questions are as follows:
1. What is an inexpensive external RAID storage box to go with?
2. What is a good inexpensive RAID controller to go with?
3. S/W RAID vs HW RAID? Which is the most reliable way to go?
4. Are there ways to do full backups of windows boxes and restore a
complete bootable drive from the Linux box?
5. What is the largest file system Fedora 9 can support?
6. Are there performance hits for large file systems?
Thanks so much in advance!
Mike

use gpg-agent with smartcard for ssh
by Bjoern Schiessle
Hello,
i habe a GnuPG smartcard which i use to sign and encrypt my mail. Now i
want to use it also for ssh logins.
I have installed gnupg2 and started the ssh agent with:
gpg-agent --enable-ssh-support --daemon --use-standard-socket
and i can connect to the ssh agent with gpg-connect-agent but "ssh-add
-l" which should show now my key from the smartcard only says "The agent
has no identities."
The hardware should be OK, the same works with Debian which i have
installed on the same computer.
Any ideas what i have to do to make it work with Fedora?
Thanks!
