Re: Question about installing the proprietary nvidia drivers with RPMFusion
by Hugh Caley
Thanks, Richard, I did not have those entries in xorg.conf. Seems to
work. I wonder why I didn't get that?

Fwd: Re: Understanding Local Networking - Thanks, so far....
by DB
Hi All,
Thanks first off for the help & suggestions!
1) So far, by enabling nmb & smb services, I've been able to see my
work-group & its machines with smb4k, I can also see the first level of
shared directories & printers. (Would be nice if, after installing
Samba, that whenever I start Samba or one of its bits, 'IT' would check
the state of the services & either start them as necessary or give me a
message to do so... No, I've zilch idea how to do something like that!)
BUT (there's always a 'but'!), if I click on the top level directory,
expecting it to open up like Pandora's Box, all I get is a message "The
share xxx could not be mounted" & in the details box
mount error(1): Operation not permitted
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Tried using mount.cifs to mount the local top directory & all I get is
one directory from the next layer, which is also not openable.....
Using smbclient, I've been able to copy single files from one machine to
the other!!!
2) Tried the fish in konqueror, that throws up in either direction that
the other machine is refusing the connection:
"The server xxx refused to allow this computer to make a connection"
As far as I can understand..... using KDE Desktop Sharing, I've allowed
anything that seems useful......
3) Found nmap & installed it to find out what ports I had on each
machine, results;
111/tcp open rpcbind
| rpcinfo:
| 100000 2,3,4 111/udp rpcbind
| 100024 1 53843/udp status
| 100000 2,3,4 111/tcp rpcbind
|_ 100024 1 59421/tcp status
139/tcp open netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.X (work-group: LXP)
445/tcp open netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.X (work-group: LXP)
5900/tcp open vnc VNC (protocol 3.8)
(At the time nmap runs, I see a "Someone is requesting access" message
from Desktop Sharing on the remote machine.)
4) I'm not able to put my "host name" in any of these commands, only the
IP address - it seems that somewhere along the line DNS ain't doin' what
I thought it ought to!
5) From the desktop sharing, I can generate new invitations & I've just
managed to connect! What a trip round the houses! BUT (again!) all I get
on the invited computer is the screen of the inviter - that actually is
not readable - I might almost think I'd been on the beer all day!!! I'm
guessing that to be able to change what's on the screen, the inviter
needs to allow the invitee to use mouse & keyboard???? And I'm
suspecting I will not be able to copy files from one to the other
through this shared desktop?????
6) Tried to check man fuse-smb, nothing there till I installed fuse-smb.
Not yet sure how/whether this will help me.
7) Checked /var/log/messages & var/log/samba - empty!
Again, thanks to all for your help! If anyone can point me in some new
directions, I'll be most grateful!

Howto disable package-kit package list updates?
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
About once a day, packagekit starts on my laptop and updates its package-lists.
Beside the fact that this eats my traffic, I find it quite annoying
because starting yum usually means a LOT of disk IO slowing down my
system during that time.
Is there any way to disable package-kit updating its package-lists?
Thanks, Clemens

Fedora 11 Mouse and Xorg
by Dennis Mattingly
Hello,
I've been using Fedora 11 for months, and love it.
I've recently had issues with my PS2 mouse.
Sometimes it stops working, and other times is weird.
So I have a few questions:
How can I find out what's wrong with my mouse?
I unplugged it / reconnected it, and the mouse stopped going "up & down" for
over a week.
How can I check / post Xorg log files for review?
Mouse just started randomly working fine again, I haven't rebooted.
So I want to post log stuff.
Thanks for the help
Backstory::
A) Original mouse
My original / good mouse was eaten by my pet rabbit.
B) Old mouse from friend
Stats: Std 3-button, PS2 connection, Optical mouse
Worked fine, but eventually had the "always double-click" bug.
I would single click, and files would open, text would highlight, GIMP,
Office, Firefox, etc...
So I fed that one to my rabbit too.
C) Brand new mouse, but from an obscure 3rd party
Stats: Std 3-button, PS2 connection, Optical mouse
Worked fine, but then I unplug / replug mouse.
For next week, mouse does not go up and down.
And just 5 minutes ago, while surfing internet, mouse magic fixes itself.
Thanks again

saslauthd issue with F11
by Luc MAIGNAN
Hi all,
previously I had a F8 mail server on which saslauthd daemon as smtp
authentication checker. And all has worked fine...
I migrate my server to F11, and I have problems with saslauthd. After a
while (perhaps 2 days), authentication fails but the daemon still run. I
have to 'killall saslauthd' and then restart it.
It is very heavy because mail users aren't able to send mails.
Has anyone an idea ?
Best regards

Your system is too slow

More precisely, is there an nvidia driver
that does not experience extreme slowness?
I've had trouble getting flash to play right
either through firefox or through mplayer.
Most recently mplayer told me that my system was to slow.
It made suggestions that were scrolled
off the screen by many cpoies of
> AO: [pulse] pa_stream_get_latency() failed: Connection terminated
> AO: [pulse] pa_stream_write() failed: Connection terminated.4% 1312 0
I'm running a recent install of F11 on a 3 GHz
pentium 4 with hyperthreading, 4G of memory
and F11's video driver.
So far, it has not made me happy.
[hennebry@localhost Cache]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Aug 24
17:16:21 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[hennebry@localhost Cache]$
The GEForce nvidia card and the 4G of memory are
not original equipment, but they predate F11.
At one point, instead of a login, I got a screen with one line:
> nouveau 0000:01:00.0: nouveau_fifoo_free: freeing fifo 0
I had to reboot.

custom ICMP message in iptables
by Jatin K
Dear all,
I'm wondering that, is there any method to add custom ICMP message to
iptables ... e.g say I block Echo Request (ping) through
system-config-firewall, other systems on my network cannot ping my
system ... but on on the system from where I try to ping .. it shows
message like [1]
[1] From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=xxx Destination Host Prohibited
From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=xxx Destination Host Prohibited
From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=xxx Destination Host Prohibited
From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=xxx Destination Host Prohibited
problem is that anyone can determine that my system is alive and icmp
request is blocked
instead of this I want like this [2]
[2] From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=xxx Destination Host *Unreachable *
From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=xxx Destination Host *Unreachable *
From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=xxx Destination Host *Unreachable *
From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=xxx Destination Host *Unreachable
