strange time zone setting
by Aaron Konstam
Suddenly, hardware time on my laptop (in the BIOS) has to be set to UTC
time for the time in GNOME can be in CDT (US) time.
I don't know how this happened or how to fix it. I don't see how one can
set the time zone for the BIOS so it is all very myterious.
Any enlightenment out there?

nvidia driver, kmod-nvidia-PAE question
by Antonio Olivares
Dear fellow Fedora users,
I was having trouble playing DVD's with Fedora on a Quad Core machine, and I decided to install the nvidia driver from rpmfusion and it has cured the problem :), thanks to those guys for the work they do.
Now I decide to update the kernel to a newer one, will I have to
# yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE
again versus the new kernel, or will the update to the new kernel automagcially fix the driver against the new kernel.
I really don't understand the kmod and/or dkms part of the drivers. I have seen similar things for the modems like the 11c11040 drivers. When I update to a new kernel, I manually update the modem drivers, but apparently when one uses the dkms/kmod code the work is done automagically.
Regards,
Antonio

Another basic networking question.
by Simon Slater
G'day everyone,
I've been working through a networking cookbook that obviously assumes
some basic knowledge on networking ... that I don't have. So to humbly
ask of the gurus here:
When a firewall computer has 2 nics, they should be on separate
subnets? Yes?
When an ISP dynamically assigns an ip address, is it associated with
the dsl router, eth0 where it plugs in, or the ppp0 device that does the
communicating?
So if eth1 goes to a lan and has its ip address configured in its
ifcfg-eth1 and similarly eth0 on the wan side is configured to get its
address from dhcp, is it the ISP's dhcp server that it needs to get the
address from or the local dhcp server?
With respect to the ip address for configuration of the dsl router
(defaults to 192.168.1.1 for this Linksys AG300), which subnet should it
be on, the lan side or wan?
Slightly more advanced: What are the pros and cons of using an ifup
ppp0 command from the firewall computer to connect with the ISP versus
connecting from within the dsl router itself?
Thanks in advance.

Gimp Gap?
by Dan Thurman
[OFF TOPIC]: Gimp
I was reading Gimp on Gimp's website and
discovered that there was something called
Gap. It was not clear to me if this was
already built in, is a plugin, or a separate
application to be downloaded and installed.
If Gap is already built-in, how does one
invoke it?
Thanks!

upstart bug (tty1 and Xorg) and bugzilla?
by Carl D. Roth
I wanted to post this to the Redhat/Fedora BZ, but there doesn't appear to
be an upstart entry for Fedora...
My system is misbehaving right now because Xorg and upstart are fighting
over tty1. My CPU load for Xorg is at 100%, and I see a stream of kernel
log messages of the form
Apr 4 11:11:12 huggy /sbin/mingetty[3342]: tty1: invalid character 0x93
in login name
Apr 4 11:11:17 huggy init: tty1 main process (3342) terminated with
status 1
Apr 4 11:11:17 huggy init: tty1 main process ended, respawning
My tty configuration in /etc/event.d/ (via upstart-0.3.9-22.fc10.x86_64)
looks like
# tty1 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.
start on stopped rc2
start on stopped rc3
start on stopped rc4
stop on runlevel 0
stop on runlevel 1
stop on runlevel 6
respawn
exec /sbin/mingetty tty1
Is this correct? Shouldn't it be the case that the tty1 mingetty is
squelched by either runlevel 5 or prefdm? In any case, my 'runlevel'
command indicates that I am at runlevel 5, and the tty1 mingetty is still
respawning...
In a related topic, my TTY switching doesn't work (CTRL-ALT-Fn)...
