F14 and qtnx client
by Joachim Backes
Hi all,
somebody has been successful in connecting the qtnx client to a server
running the nxserver from nomachine?
Wondering about the fact that there are only *fc11* versions of the qtnx
client software :-)
If starting qtnx after having configured it, I only get an error msg like
------------------------------------------------------
Process started
stderr> Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a
terminal.
-------------------------------------------------------
I was not successful in finding helpful entries in the forums.
Kind regards

Remote X display access
by Alex
Hi,
What is the best way to securely permit a remote X application to
display on as local system?
I'm trying to get system-config-services to run on a remote FC14
x86_64 system to my local FC13 x86_64 system. It's on a local internal
network. I've tried setting the display and allowing access using
xhost, but it still appears to have an access control problem.
Also, how can I do this across the Internet? Wrap it in ssh?
Thanks,
Alex

FC12 to FC14 : stat failed for the webserver over cifs
by Jean-Philippe Battu
Hello
on a linux box in FC12 or FC14, I set up a web server
I have two virtual host, the first is a filesystem mounted over nfs
(port 1980)
and the second is a filesystem mounted over cifs (port 1982)
I noticed the filesize php function and the stat php function don't
work on the file of the web server which is mounted over cifs
my php code is quite simple :
<?php
$thefile="./filesize.php" ;
$arrayst= stat( $thefile) ;
print_r( $arrayst ) ;
echo "<p> Size: ".filesize( $thefile)."</p>" ;
?>
when I do host:1982 to access this file, I get:
Warning: stat(): stat failed for ./filesize.php in /dir/filesize.php on
line 3
and it works for host:1980 (the php file is copied twice)
Getting the error for stat, I tried to use the stat shell command and it
works for the two files, nfs or cifs
Do you know how I could solve this error ? it worked on FC9.
FC9 :

Re: BOOTMGR is missing, and now cannot login to Fedora either
by Barry Keeling
Thanks to Stan :) for taking the time and effort to respond to my post. I
found his suggestions really useful.
I was able to flip to a console in F14 and successfully login to my user
account, but sadly I never resolved the graphical login issue where F14 kept
redisplaying the user login screen after I had entered my password. I did
check the log files, but wasn't able to google much from log file text.
Anyway, have re-installed Fedora 14, and it seems to be working fine now.
The major learning was to make sure that grub is set up correctly asap,
prior to doing lots of work on the linux install.
I have a dell laptop and the first non-boot partition is a Dell windows
recovery area, so Vista is on (0,2). The default grub.conf setup is set to
(0,1), so I edited it as soon as I was able, without letting the Vista
boot-up fail. Now I can successfully dual boot and have had no problem with
the user login screen on F14.

system-config-firewall from remote machine
by Matthew Saltzman
I tried to run system-config-firewall logged in remotely as a normal
user (not root). I am not prompted for root's password. The interface
pops up and the startup splash screen displays, but when the splash
screen clears, it's replaced with an error popup with the message
org.fedoraproject.slip.dbus.service.PolKit.NotAuthorizedException.org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.auth:
and buttons labeled "Redo" and "Quit". "Redo" results in the same
popup. Running on the local machine behaves as expected: root password
prompt, GUI opens, interaction is normal. Logging in remotely as root
works as expected too, but that's not a good security practice.
Is this a bug? (I assume so...) If so, what package? (This is
system-config-firewall-1.2.27-1.fc14.noarch, FWIW.)
TIA.

various errors related to configuration
by Howard Howell
I started with an evolution configuration error, and now a
Firefox/Mozilla configuration error, so it appears to me that this might
be a system level error. Maybe some file or directory permissions
issue, or perhaps a generic configuration error.
I tried using the Firefox ProfileManager to create a new profile, but
that lost me all my bookmarks, as well as not changing a problem getting
my home page to load at startup, in spite of that being the selection on
the preferences page, even after creating a new user profile with the
profile manager. Java won't run, even after reloading from the software
add/remove manager.
Next I went to the Java website to get the new package, and retrieved
the jre-6u23-linux-x64-rpm.bin file. when I attempted to source that
file I get:
$ ./j*bin
Unpacking...
Checksumming...
Extracting...
UnZipSFX 5.50 of 17 February 2002, by Info-ZIP (Zip-Bugs(a)lists.wku.edu).
replace jre-6u23-linux-amd64.rpm? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:
y
inflating: jre-6u23-linux-amd64.rpm
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock
(Permission denied)
but the file appears to uncompress and be present as:
jre-6u23-linux-x64-rpm
but I am unsure of loading it with the prior error in existence.
There may be other configuration issues as well, that I just haven't
stumbled onto the situation where they will show up yet.
Is anyone else having these kinds of problems?
I haven't had this much difficulty since maybe my first Fedora
installation. I know that this is all 64 bit, and that there may be
some teething issues for me, but these kinds of errors, and the issues
of moving all the configurations under a new umbrella with little
background on why, where, premissions, access, and guidance doesn't give
me much to go on. I know just enough to be dangerous, and apparently
not enough to be able to find and fix the problems.
Any further help would be appreciated.

Question/Problem creating a live USB
by JD
Using liveusbcreator to dump a linux (not of any distro) iso image onto
a 256GiB flash drive (Made by Kensignton).
After selecting the linux ISO image, and setting the
value of the persistent storage, I click Create Live USB.
I get this error message:
Unknown filesystem. Your device may need to be reformatted.
The usb flash drive has partition 1 as a fat32 filesystem. It was
rejected by liveusbcreator with same error message as above.
So, I formatted it as a Ext3 filesystem. Got the same error message.
Next I tried
/usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk cd100627.iso /dev/sdc
Verifying image...
/sdb4/Download/OfflineNTpassword/BootCD/cd100627.iso: Could not get pvd data
Unable to read the disc checksum from the primary volume descriptor.
This probably means the disc was created without adding the checksum.Are
you SURE you want to continue?
Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort
I press enter, and it exits without creating the bootable usb.
So, I tried to use windows and follow the iso creator's instructions to
transfer the iso to flash disk. My winxp-sp3 does not recognize the
drive. And when I try to format the drive, windows says it was not
able to format the drive.
It is indeed strange that I can format it under Linux, and mount it
and use it the ordinary way. But I cannot transfer the iso image to it.
Any ideas what to do next?
Thanx for your help.
