Fedora 11 DVD download
by Chris Kottaridis
I know this is old, but I need to install Fedora 11 to investigate a
compatibility issue. I can't seem to find a Fedora 11 DVD download site.
Anyone know where there is an archive for Fedora 11 DVD ?
Thanks

HOW to REDIRECT to HTTPS?
by erikmccaskey64
I'm searching for a method [on client side] to redirect to HTTPS in a few given domains.
e.g.:
http://www.facebook.com/
to
https://www.facebook.com/
Ok. I use several webbrowsers, and not all of them has "add-ons" to redirect these pages to https.
My purpose is this: when i go to "http://www.facebook.com" i don't want to see any http traffic with wireshark
Is this possible?? How can i achieve it? How can i automatically redirect http traffic for given domain names to HTTPS??
is it enough to redirect http? I mean then the webserver [e.g.: www.facebook.com] recognizes that i want to "talk" over HTTPS?
I has a caching-nameserver on my pc - BIND
I have an "ad blocking" proxy on my pc - PRIVOXY
And my pc is a "linux box" - IPTABLES [iptables only knows ip addresses?]

Sleep hangs on Fedora 14 x86_64 for last few days
by Digimer
Hi all,
Each night I run 'yum update'. Three days ago (give or take a day), I
noticed that putting my laptop (Thinkpad T400s) to sleep no longer
worked. It would fade the screen out, jump the the Fedora splash screen
(like you see during boot, blue background with the Fedora logo
centered) and then just sit there. The only recourse I have is to
cold-boot the laptop.
I checked /var/log/messages and this is what I see:
http://pastebin.com/ZPVeCpZy
Any thoughts or diagnostics tips? In case it matters, I've tried both
the Fn-key combo and 'acpitool -s' with the same results.
Thanks!

FC15 and GNOME3
by Bill Davidsen
I read in a non-Fedora list that GNOME3 has dropped the ability to do power
management, and that all laptops will suspend when the cover is closed, like it
or not. Hopefully that's just a users who doesn't know how to do config, but
some feedback would be helpful, that behavior would be a total show stopper.
It's desirable in many cases to turn off the display and lock, but in business
use the computer is likely to be doing something useful the users needs to continue.

Well, no, I don't agree. If Intel is releasing hardware with that
EEPROM version into the wild and is happy to support it on Windows,
I am at a loss to understand why it can't be supported under Linux.
It would be one thing if these were just a few engineering samples
that escaped to ebay through some nefarious means. But the reports
from the user suggest that these came through Dell and are being
supported by the Windows driver. That suggests that there is enough
correct information in the EEPROM to ensure the device is functioning
properly...?

Fedora Weekly News?
by Timothy Murphy
Does this still exist?
I was looking through some old email (2008/2009),
and I see it was still appearing then,
although it seemed to be getting more and more bureacratic,
with reports from committees whose pontifications
were generally unintelligible to me.
Earlier on, IIRC, this newsletter used to contain
interesting and useful (and intelligible) articles
on features of Fedora, eg user-friendly articles on WiFi, PXEboot, etc.
(I seem to remember articles on KDE, maybe by Anne Wilson,
which opened my eyes to facilities available in KDE.)
Is there anything similar now?

mouse clicks fail on first login
by Jim Philips
I had this on a previous distro, so it's not specific to Fedora. I log in
and after about 60 seconds, mouse clicks no longer work. The only workaround
is to log out and log back in. Then mouse clicks work for an unlimited time.
This is an HP DV7 laptop with a Synaptics touchpad and a Logitech Marble
Mouse plugged in to it. Anyone know what's going on? My guess is that it's
an X bug.

Fedora Core 14 wireless issue with Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200)
by Sebastian
Hi,
I'm running 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 on a Precision M6500 and have a
wireless issue.
My wireless device is a Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200.
Here is the output of dmesg.
[root@cupri iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1]# dmesg | grep iwl

Any hints to get wirless working?

Duplicate accounts?
by Fernando Cassia
Is this normal? Fedora10 here...
# users
fcassia fcassia fcassia fcassia fcassia fcassia fcassia
[root@doscabezas]# groups
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel
Somehow I inardvertedly ended up with a bunch of folders owned by
root, and when I attempted to move those around from the user account
(fcassia) I got permission issues, as expected.
So I did SUDO -i, and from root as shell I tried to
chown -hR * fcassia on the Desktop folder...
all was fine but one particular file doesn't want to be changed...
chown: invalid user: `mail-backup.zip'
I must be doing something wrong...
FC
PS: I figured it out... I had the parameters for chown reversed...
file name is always last.Sheesh. Still, is the multiple "fcassia"
accounts output from "accounts" normal?
