Mounting cifs
by JD
I have been trying to mount on fedora a shared C drive
from a windows machine running winxp.
Well, I used the mount command:
# mount -t cifs //xp1/c -o
user=jd,password=mypassword,uid=myuid,gid=mygid,rw /mnt/xp1/c
Unable to find suitable address.
I checked the firewall setting on the xp machine and it
allows pings, and printer and file sharing.
C drive is shared as resource name C.
There is also a win7 machine on the LAN.
I can ping win7 and win7 can ping fedora.
But neither fedora not win7 can ping xp1.
I was hoping that someone has encountered
this problem and solved it.

A question from the truly dumb?
by Bill Case
Hi,
More and more I have noticed the use of a double colon [::]in coding
explanations but have not noticed it actually used anywhere. Does it
mean anything other than being used as a format.
For example, in a recent repo description:
perl-DateTime-Format-Natural
Description :
DateTime::Format::Natural takes a string with a human readable
date/time and creates a machine readable one by applying natural
parsing logic.
rsync uses the :: in its a man pages. There it seems to indicate a
remote machine, but doesn't seem to be required.
Just something I have been meaning to ask for a long time.

Gnome3 and screensaver config
by mike cloaked
Does anyone know how to configure the screensaver in fedora 15 with gnome3?
i.e. can you select different gnome screensavers and timeout periods?
If not is there a package that can be installed that allows such
selection?
Maybe I am just thick and don't see the obvious!

F15 KDE can't find the way to setup wireless
by Vinny Onelli
Hello,
I downloaded F15 KDE live to try, I booted the CD and then decided to
install in the HD. The installation was flawless, but when I try to
setup the wireless network I couldn't find. Is there any one that can
give me some detail direction on how to. I am not familiar with KDE I
all the way used Gnome in the past, I see few thing that I like on KDE I
would like to explore some more. Thank you in advance Vinny

Font help for firefox!
by Tom Horsley
I just installed the "Theme Font & Size Changer" add on for firefox,
and now I can see my bookmarks again! :-). Firefox 4 seems to work well,
but the default theme sure makes all the fonts tiny...

F15 preupgrade seems not to work with /boot on RAID
by Matthew Saltzman
All packages downloaded, but preupgrade reported an error on the console
I ran it from regarding the fact that /boot was on a software RAID
device. The GUI, on the other hand, appeared to finish normally and
reported that the installation would start on reboot. It didn't.
So is there a reason preupgrade can't work with /boot on RAID when the
original (F12, IIRC, upgraded to F14) installation did? And why doesn't
the GUI detect the error and fail?

It *looks* like it is waiting for the link to become ready.
You could try using the iwlagn module instead of the iwl3945, to see if
that module reacts better. It is supposed to work with the 3945 chipset
iirc.
I would then try turning off ALL network services and dependencies of
those. and timing boot in that condition. Then timing startup of the
network with the wired NIC only, and then with the wireless NIC only,
etc. etc.
It *could* be that the delay is some other module which actually depends
on network services, such as an NFS or samba share etc..
