Openvpn under Fedora-16
by Timothy Murphy
I can start openvpn with
[tim@blanche ~]$ sudo systemctl start openvpn(a)client.service
(My openvpn config file is /etc/openvpn/client.conf ,
which I think is more or less standard.)
But I don't know how to turn it on permanently, eg I get
[tim@blanche ~]$ sudo systemctl enable openvpn(a)client.service
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
The whole thing seems to me extraordinarily badly documented,
even by Linux standards.
Or is it a bug?

You would be better off reinstalling the 64-bit version of Fedora 16,
then you can have the 32-bit libs installed alongside.

[OT] Hybrid 64/32 kernel ???
by John Wendel
Sorry if this is too off topic, but it's bugging me and I can't find it
on Google ...
I saw a post/web page somewhere (can't find it now) that seemed to say
that some kernel gods were working on a kernel with a "new" memory model
(which I didn't understand). If someone knows anything about this, can
you post a link.
Thanks,
John

Another Fedora 16 + Gnome 3.2 question!?
by Bill Case
Hi;
How do I get rid of the Universal Access icon in the upper right hand
corner/panel? Googled but seems every distribution has a different
answer. How do I get rid of it in Fedora 16, preferably using the
icon-manage extension in dconf-editor if there is such away. Nothing I
have tried seems to work. Everything found on the internet is either
out of date or doesn't work.

}
So, what the .... is the root filehandle in this context and how do I
define it?

The software is not from a trusted source ???
by Alexander Volovics
When using 'software update' to get and install the last batch of
7 updates the following was displayed:
"The software is not from a trusted source. Do not update these
packages unless you are sure it is save to do so"
Is this something new in packagekit or does it have anything to do
with the "cyrus SASL" packages.

dumb question
by Paul Allen Newell
To the list:
I am dealing with a primary Fedora machine and a alternate WinXP under
cygwin. Cygwin always screw up the permissions when I drag stuff over to
it and then bring it back to the Fedora box. I've got scripts to handle
making things right again.
But I did have a question which I didn't find out from Googling (as I
suspect I didn't know how to phrase it). On a Fedora/Linux box, do
Makefile/makefile (s) have to be set to +x? Or can they be just "rw-r--r--"?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

yum.conf file
by Tim
Hi,
Do others have this yum.conf file on F16 (see attached), and know what
it refers to by the *useless* description of "this," as in the "This is
the default" comment?
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=3
# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

CDrom popup alert
by Robert Moskowitz
When I put a music CDrom in, I get a popup at the bottom of the screen
asking if I want to start rythembox of a browser, well I had k3b open to
copy the CD, so I tried to <esc> from this dialog but nothing I did seem
to make it go away. There is no cancel button like in the old dialog box.
How is this thing controlled?

The reason I'm not using the forums is that they are clumsy and full
of people who don't seem to be able to use man.
I like them for the not having to delete stuff from my mail box, and
for reducing the overall burden on the web, but the signal-to-noise
ratio there is not what I would call low.
Don't have time to write a full analysis here, but this touches on
something I posted a riff on yesterday:
http://defining-computers.blogspot.com/2012/01/mailing-lists-vs-e-mail-e....
Anyway, as several have noted already, the "mass migration" to the
forums is not what it would seem, for several reasons.
