bridges, NAT, virtual machines, brain hurt :-).
by Tom Horsley
I'd like to make a Windows virtual machine that has access to
the outside world but is completely blocked from access to my
local area network (other than whatever forwarding and routing
has to happen on my LAN).
The idea is to make a virtual windows box which can suffer
any ill effects of unsafe browsing practices, while preventing
any of those effects from escaping into my LAN. (Then if I
use a qcow2 image with a backing file, I can reset the machine
to its original undamaged state by simply regenerating a
new qcow2 image).
I keep thinking along the lines of setting up a new bridge
on a separate subnet and doing some sort of NAT routing,
but details escape me. I can write those words, but have no
idea how to actually accomplish what I want (especially how
to restrict the NAT to the outside world and prevent any
access to local LAN).
I keep thinking this should have been dome by someone already
and there should be examples out there, anyone know of any?

F16 with some F17 updating of?
by Frank Murphy
I have an F16 box, with some F17.rpm installed.
Is it possible to update just the f17.rpms
I'm useless at scripting this.
Have googled, probably wrong search terms though.

by Damián Rodríguez Sánchez
Hello, I'm trying to start an xfce session on a vncserver connection.
A call to startxfce4 on my xstartup file works with other distributions, but
on my fc15 it just gives me a black screen after I connect.
Any ideas?

Slow USB port - enabling high speed hubs.
by Javier Perez
Hi
I am passing a lot of info from my USB pendrive to the hard drive
I am using FC16 (Linux pepewin 3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 21
22:41:17 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux )
I am curious, why if I have a USB 2.0 full speed device --supposedly *
480 Mbit/s* (60 MB/s), I only see a transfer speed on the jobs notification
window of 600 KiB/s
I have an Intel DG31PR motherboard with 8 USB2.0 ports. The controller chip
is an Intel 82801GB (ICH7).
I see the note about "not running at top speed, connect to a high speed
hub", but how do I enable the high speed hub if as far as I know, they all
are supposed to be high speed hubs?

grub2
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I updated from fedora14 to fedora16 and I am trying to modify the
grub boat loader.
I do not have an internet connection, so I expect some guidances
from the list.
info grub2 did not help me much.
I understand that I have to a rebuild a grub.cfg file, but how?
grub2-mkconfig can do it, but how do I modify the boot options?
For example I which to remove the quiet and rhgb options from the
boot command (not at each boot).
Thank for your help.

Why would a particular flash-drive reconfigure itself to be read only, and lock-out admin..?
by Linda McLeod
Anyone know why a particular flash-drive would reconfigure itself to be
read only..? This F-drive has done this three times, forcing me to
format it, and reload the hd backup.. and another has done it once.. I
run with ten flash-drives in maintaining a perpetual backup by the
hour..
I reload the hd backup flash yesterday, and now when I click up
properties, I get "permissions could not be determined"..? This
troublesome flash is a "DANE-ELEC" 8-gig".. I can't trust this
crap-thing.. What's the best low priced flash on the market..?

Firefox 9 on F16 can not set Home Page
by Aaron Konstam
In Firefox 9 in F16 I can't set the home page. I make my web page
www.Google.com. Then I go to preferences and click "Use Current Page".
This works for a while. But when I reboot the home page becomes Bing.
Is anyone else having this trouble and know how to fix it?

Thanks Joel.. and "Does the computer "think"..?
by Linda McLeod
Much Thanks Dear Joel..
I am researching your great advice dude..
The data I need to protect, is the new sciences I saw in the Bigfoot
collective, after a female adolescent one touched my neck twice, which
paralysed me for eight excruciating hours while she scanned my
memories.. but I asked "may I scan you while you scan me?", and got
permission.. I saw 14 layers of sciences, and made a copy for myself
before they ejected me from their collective consciousness... That's
1400 untapped sciences, 100+ technologies in each.. more than enough to
get our Species to other healthy planets.. But I can't do it alone..
and I sure can't do it with those mindless-kooks torturing me daily, to
appease their cocaine soaked psychotic bosses vengeances for me
publishing that we need to eliminate the coke-heads from our
government.. and they knows it... Essentially "the apes are doing crime
for their handlers", but they don't have the mind to realize it...
_______________________
New topic: Does the computer "think"..?
Disclaimer: All those who can't handle new stuff without freaking,
should not read this post.. Go to the next post.. Don't read my stuff..
It'll only cause you conditioning headaches, and make you want to hurt
the author.. Just don't read it if you can't handle newness without
being an AH.. This isn't for you.. Get that.. This is for the thinkers
only... The gist of this post exposes the very reason there are free
Linux OS's in this world, for the good folk... If thinking hurts your
head, just don't read it.. Quit comparing yourself to others, and quit
trying to break all that which is better than you.. I can process
thought that you cannot.. Get over it!.. If you break something, it
doesn't give that something to you, you breaks it only, you destroy the
good stuff in your future before you gets to it and you lose it
forever.. You breaks it "at the gate".. It isn't for you to eat!.. Get
it! & WAKE UP!.. I am just a tiny link in humanity's evolution.. Quit
trying to break it.. If you break this one, you don't get any more..
I'm the last...

Can the computer "think"..?
In my working with computers, for a couple decades, there have been
times the computer seemed to actually "think out" its problems, and
solve them, more than just "juggling 1's and 0's".. I know it's just
based on 1's and 0's, off's and on's.. but isn't that how the human
brain works too..? and how the brain thinks in processing thought..?
But most don't think because they just can't, or they once used the
mind, and it frightened them, so now they boycott thinking, and prefer
to create and run habits right to the end...
Isn't the computer based on how the human brain works..?
Some firewalls have it to update themselves perfectly, and go around
problems by going right through them, as if solving them... "Black Ice"
was good for that, in W-98... "WhooHH! just thinking of "thet thar W-98
nightmare", gives me a nasty icy cold shudder, "shivers me timbers" it
does...
Look into what "Maya" does.. That's got to be close to "thinking", or
maybe even better...
Look at how Fedora repairs itself...
Does anyone have any keen examples that made them wonder if the computer
is actually thinking..?
If the computer could think, what processes would it perform..?
This "skin-graft PC" keyboard, mouse, and screen obsoleted, just might
act as an accessory "human mind".. I fear it's gonna be needed in the
near future, given that humanity's collective mind ems to be dying or
devolving, from various causes..
For one, religion teaches that "an idle mind is bad".. An idle relaxed
mind is what our great scientists used, to get us all the science we
have today.. It ain't a bad thing.. It seem that religion just religion
stifles the mind and thinking.. Religion doesn't want its followers to
see and know any truth and reality "out of the tithing box"...
That, and the fact that cellphone radiation is baking brains.. coke and
meth and prescription drugs are melting brain tissue.. the lead and
copper in the drinking water is poisoning brain tissue.. Alcohol is
desiccating brain tissue.. religion, politics, and TV, are programming
and conditioning brains and thought process to force the culture to be
as slave society.. and who knows what the pesticides in our food do to
us..? And the solvents in the air too.. Go outside and take-in a slow
deep full breath.. Notice toward the end of the in-breathe, the pungent
stings of the solvents hitting the nose sensors.. That's a lot of good
reasons to build a synthetic mind for humanity...
I had idea how to alpha-couple, and beta-couple, the PC to the human
brain, but some mindless-idiot erased it all on me t torture me for
suggesting that "all police and politicians should be tested for cocaine
usage, and all the positives be fired on the spot, to clean up our
nation, and remove the parasitic-insanity from our lives".. and I can't
get the data back without ultra deep thought processing.. but doing that
here, the locals feed off it it, like candy, before I can even begin to
use the energies for science and sci-fi scripting... It feels like
"being surrounded by a hoard of starved vampires forever in
feeding-frenzy mode only"... Example: when I'm in my backyard, and I
dives into writer's creative trance, if the pothead neighbour is in his
backyard, I hear him verbalize passionately, "MMmmmmmmm!" and then
there's that repeated stinging suckling-sensation again, on the
right-side of my head, like an invisible demon is "sucking on my brain
like "a baby sucks warm milk from a tit".. I rubs a fresh-cut garlic
clove on the area, and waits patiently till I feels that sudden
disconnect sensation in about ten-seconds... I suppose "raw creative
energy" is considered to be "candy" by the "brain-suckers"..? Then the
neighbour cries out, from the other side of the fence,
"Bully-Bully-Bully".. If they eat all the raw creative energies they
find, sense, notice, smell, in their perpetual feeding frenzy, I/we
can't build them anything new... Someone should tell them, that not
everything that tastes good is here for them to feed upon.. Some things
on this planet are not! food, for hungry parasites.. and I ain't your
wet-momma!.. Go buy a case of enfelac, and a package of pampers, and a
CD of lullabies, and you just forget me!.. I'm NOT here for you to
eat!.. Those kooks who are torturing me are really only hurting
yourselves, by preventing me from building new sciences to help humanity
out of its huge mess...
Ask yourself.. "Where does new science come from..?"..
That's gonna cause a lot of mindless neanderthal g'rillas migraines..
I'm sure to get a lot of violent flack, and v-chip stinging ears, over
this post, from the mindless brain-suckers defending the perpetual
feeding-frenzy glut and their great hell.. Makes me wonder if humanity
is actually in its "larval stage" right now..? no one is flying yet..
It seems this Species is feeding upon everything on and in the planet
like "maggots feed on death"... When I was a kid, exploring the river, I
once studied "maggots feeding upon a beached dead carp.. The maggots
were all violently fighting over the red veins, in the white flesh of
the dead fish, all violently nipping at each other, aggressively shoving
each other away from the tastiest parts.. Seems that is how humanity
treats the planet, all life, and each other these days.. Seems humanity
has lost its ability to love and share... Seems all we've got left of
Love & Life is Greed & Feed... My antagonists can't seem to grasp that
I am the real deal.. So what if I'm not packaged as they expected and
delusion.. WhooH! they are sure making this V-chip sting in my head
loud right now, like they did all last night and all yesterday for
posting something they didn't like.. This tortuous painful noise
prevents me from building new sciences for humanity, to pull your
Species out of our home-made hell... I wonders if any of those demons
are somehow picking up on my thoughts as I write this post..? Back in my
W98 & W2k days, they would crash the computer right about now, if it as
net-connected, the moment the post touched upon exposing any of their
insanities.. Sometimes a few times per day, depending how much I wrote,
exposing their levels of Insanity.. is why I had to switch to Linux, and
tossed all the windows CD's into the incinerator... More and more, day
by day, it seems most of this world is essentially just "a global
asylum"... Oops! That's gonna seriously rock their sinking boat.. The
coke-heads gonna freak, growl, and squeal, and spit, and hiss, and piss
all over his... It's only type-written words.. Combine words as you
wish.. Read if you must.. Don't you be blaming me if you can't
understand it... Some dislike my words, because with them I expose the
evils that hurt our lives.. I show truth, forcing them to think, which
gives them headaches, because their conditioning doesn't allow them to
think "out of the box"... Wake Up! & Grow Up!..
Does the computer "think"..? Do you..?

nepomukindexer was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT)
by Fedora Linux
Hello
I have Fedora 16 for x86_64, from time to time it sends the error
"nepomukindexer was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT)" thru the Automatic Bug
Reporting Tool, but now it keeps sending the error every 20 or 30 seconds
and there are lots of instances of nepomuxindexer running at the same time
one after another consuming a lot of processor...
I read on google that it can be safely disabled, but how can I do that and
what system functionalities would I lose?
Thanks,
Mike
P.D. I'm new to Fedora, please be patient :P

Which Linux software is the very best for slide shows..?
by Linda McLeod
Which Linux software is the very best for slide shows..? one that has
"remove", in right click, to enable users to edit the slide show as it's
running..?
Would be nice if I could send a defective pix from slide show to a pix
repair file, &/or straight to Gimp.. Is there a "Gimp slide show"..?
I've been wondering about buying a digital projector.. but right now
they are quite expensive.. some over a $thou.. but no cheap ones yet..
Please tell.. What are the very best projectors, and which ones should
be avoided..? And does anyone have a projector(s) that they would let
go cheap..?
What's the best backing for today's computer projectors..?
I'm thinking I could run four projectors, one aimed at each wall of a
room.. to make it feel like I'm in the middle of a "cyber-forest".. Has
anyone done this..? Please describe how you did it, and the feelings
you get from experiencing it.. Can you run four projectors off a four
input camera card..? Or is that for input only..? What hardware and
software will run multiple video projectors..?
Why isn't "cyber" in the computer's dictionary..?
