Linux software for Motorola Razor phone?
by William W. Austin
This may have been answered before, but scanning the archives, I
haven't found it (sorry...).
My wife recently surprised me with a new gsm phone, a Motorola Razor.
I already had the USB cable which works with it (use it with my
camcorder), but a web search for Linux software to use the phone with
one of my Linux boxen didn't turn up anything. Basically I want to
synchronize the calendar and phonebooks, and be able to back up files
from the phone to the computer (and restore). I'm running both FC4 and
FC5 here so anything which would work with either of those would be
great - and much apprecited.
Thanks in advance,

Network problems on new FC4 box - please help.
by William W. Austin
I had to replace a disk (the one with all of the home directories on
it) on an FC3 box, and so I bought a new drive (particulars
unimportant).
To make a long story short, I decided to put FC4 on this box, and so I
installed the new drive and put the root filesystem on it. I still
have the old FC3 root drive and can boot to either for comparison...
Under FC3, I have no network problems that I can detect; however, under
FC4 there are two distinct (related? no idea) problems which have
eluded me. I have tried looking up both of these in the archives, but
have had no luck (some similar issues, but nothing exactly like either
of these unless I missed them).
Problem 1: network card goes to sleep.
This machine has 2 network cards, both on-board. The 1GB card L(Intel
82540EM) goes to the smartswitch to tolk to the local network, and does
not show any problems.
The other card (nVidia nForce2) is a 100MB card and talks to the DSL
modem. Periodically I cannot connect to the internet at all - or even
ping the DSL modem. This happens irregularly but about 5-10 times/day.
If I reboot back to FC3, the problem does not occur. Network
configurations between the two (FC3/FC4) are as identical as I can make
them. The first few times the problem occurs, sometimes retarting
networking works, but eventually a full sys reboot is the only thing
which works.
Problem 2: slow local network.
Under FC3 throughput on the LOCAL network (1GB lan) is very fast.
Under FC4, the best I have seen is ONE transfer of about 1.2 MB/s - and
throughput drops to as low as 50-75KB/s at times. Again, this does not
occur under FC3 but does under FC4. Again the same setup as nearly as
I can make it. No workaround found so far.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Domain of sender address ... does not resolve
by Bill Davidsen
I just did a new FC9 (fully updated) install, and it regularly rejects outgoing
mail with the subject error message. The address does resolve, of course, so I'm
not sure what it means instead of what it says.
The nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf are the authoritative DNS for the domain,
both are up, etc.
Someone have a clue?

I may have spoken too soon. Interesting issue though. By installing the
correct i386 library I was able to run the Citrix client via my web browser
- I am unable though to run the client by itself. If I run
/usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr - I get this error:
*/usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr: error while loading shared libraries:
libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory*
So after some poking around, I found that OpenMotif is supposed to have
libXm.so.3 library. I install both i386 and x86_64 packages from
ftp://ftp.ics.com/openmotif/2.3/2.3.1/, which I got that link directly from
http://www.motifzone.net/.
I tried to run it after that and got the same error. So; I uninstalled then
reinstalled the Citrix client, but I'm still getting the same issue. I've
tried 4 different version of openmotif and I'm still getting the same error.
*openmotif-2.2.3-2.i386.rpm
openmotif-devel-2.2.3-2.i386.rpm
openmotif-2.2.4-0.1.i386.rpm
openmotif-devel-2.2.4-0.1.i386.rpm
openmotif-2.3.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm
openmotif-devel-2.3.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm
openmotif-2.3.1-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm
openmotif-devel-2.3.1-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm*
Please help me understand this library issue. Thanks.

FC10 and freeNX
by Jim
Has anyone installed freeNX Server on FC10, how did it go ? I'am aware
that you have to install xorg-x11-fonts-misc in FC10.
Please no guesses from those who have installed it in FC 7, 8 , it has a
different set of problems in FC10 .
I have installed it in every FC since FC6.

Unable to login after latest FC10 updates (i386 on Dell GX270)
by Al Dunsmuir
I'm running FC10 on 3 systems - 2x 32-bit (DELL GX260, D810 laptop)
and 1x 64-bit (AMD quad).
After applying all the recent updates, the D810 and AMD box are fine.
Unfortunately, on the GX260 I can no longer log on - the Gnome logon
panel appears to have all buttons in the bottom row and my user ID
button displayed (low intensity) and inactive.
This is my DNS, DHCP and Samba server, and these services continue to
work in the background. Recommendations as to the appropriate bugzilla
component for reporting the problem, and any first-pass problem
resolution advice would be appreciated. I've checked the mailing list,
but nothing popped up as relevant.

F10 and vlc
by Joseph L. Casale
Wow,
out of the loop (I skipped F9), I have vlc and gstreamer-bad/ugly installed.
Totem plays mp3's and xvids fine, but vlc is choppy as heck. Given that totem
is not exactly what I would prefer to use, how does one fix vlc?
Thanks!
