F10: gnucash - white space in reports
by Craig Goodyear
I have just noticed this. Trying to generate reports with gnucash now
outputs a large amount of white space after the report title and before
the report detail. This white space can be several pages in length.
This has started within the last month. I am using Fedora 10, and I
have all updates applied including the gnucash update to 2.2.8-2 on Jan
7, 2009.
I install the previous version of gnucash 2.2.7 on another F10 computer
and also see the larger amount of white space in the reports. This
makes me think it is related to one of the dependencies of gnucash.
Has anyone else noticed the same problem? Has anyone been able to print
reports without the white space since the last gnucash update?

Assert error from Latest Firefox (just update)
by Richard England
Yum updated to Firefox this morning (firefox-3.0.6-1.fc9.i386) on my
F9 system (fully updated) and now I'm getting a dialog box that shows
the following info every time the browser is started. The browser
comes up but throws this assert. My error or there?
Thanks,

by clarice oshea
however yum update yielded nothing.
The notice was a little red window out of the lower right
of the dektop.
I did a yum clean all but still no update. I tried this last night and today.

Xemacs over ssh tunnel question
by Jerry Feldman
My Desktop system at work is an HP Integrity (IA64) with Fedora 9 and a
GNOME desktop. Because I do a lot of compiling under xemacs, I ssh -X
to a RHEL 5.2 system to run xemacs. Under RHEL 4, everything worked
fine, but under RHEL 5.2 I am unable to click on any buttons on a dialog
box. Everything else works fine.
If I log into a RHEL 5.2 console through a KVM, things work fine. So,
the issue seems to be some combination of a Fedora 9 IA64 host running
xemacs through ssh and X forwarding through the tunnel.
One solution is that I could install RHEL 5.1 on the workstation, but I
would prefer Fedora. AFAIK, Fedora 10 is not yet available for IA64.

Thunderbird not opening links
by Anoop
Hi List,
Today I updated my system and in the process Firefox got
updated to v3.0.6. But now when I am clicking links in Thunderbird,
the open is failing. It seems that it is looking for Firefox v3.0.5,
which is not present.
[...]
Error showing url: Failed to execute child process
"/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/firefox" (No such file or directory)
[...]
Any ideas how thunderbird chooses its browser. I use KD-4.1.4
Thanks,

Hi Mikkel,
i do on the client-machine a "tcpdump -i eth1" - which is the only connected card
(wireless). This shows, that connecting to my ipsec-enabled server only, traffic is in
ESP, but surfing around doesn't. Default Gateway is the ipsed-enabled server.

Re: How to set up a DNS server(at Home)
by Seann Clark
Ok, with setting up the domain server, the key thing to consider, is
this going be able to be queried from the internet? If so, then yes you
need to register a domain, to avoid confusion and issues. If this is
just going to be isolated to your local network, and not accessible
outside of your network, you won't have to register a domain.
I hope that clarifies it a little bit for you

Re: How to set up a DNS server(at Home)
by gmspro
Michael wrote:[
Just a minor additional suggestion: since this is for a home network, you
probably have DNS servers supplied by your ISP. You should configure your
named server as a forwarder rather than doing your own full resolution,
e.g., add
forward only;
forwarders {
68.87.76.178;
68.87.78.130;
};
to your named.conf options section. The values above are for Comcast in San
Jose, you'll need to change them!]
After cat /etc/resolve.conf, got this:nameserver 203.88.111.18
nameserver 4.2.2.2
Should I replace
68.87.76.178;
68.87.78.130;with the values:203.88.111.18;4.2.2.2;And what does the forwarder do?Thanks
