webmin
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I was unable to install webmin by using yum:
"nothing to do"!
Hence, I was wondering it there some conflicts with fedora or
if it just not recommanded to use it!
Thank.

I thought I'd give this a try, and ran it from the menu, since it was
listed there, only to get this warning message:
UNetbootin must be run as root. Close it, and re-run using either:
sudo /usr/bin/unetbootin
or:
su - -c '/usr/bin/unetbootin'
Then it appears to run, if I close the warning. I haven't actually
tested, yet, whether it manages to run successfully. But a few things
spring to mind:
If it really *requires* to be run as root, why is it in a menu where it
cannot? We don't have a "run as" (someone else) option like Windows
has. Well, at least the mate desktop does not.
Why doesn't the menu call it in a way where appropriate permissions are
requested as you call it? Other things that need it, such as various
system configurators, get you to type in your password, or the root
password, before the thing continues on.
If it has to be run from the command line, why's there a menu entry?
Have I missed something? (Before I go through the tortures of trying to
make a bugzilla report.)

FC14 -> FC20 & Evolution
by Charlie McVeigh
Okay, I have to admit I gave been lazy and have fallen far behind the
the curve on Fedora releases. I am currently running FC14 and I want to
upgrade to FC20. My question for the board is as follows:
Since I am so far behind the current release of Fedora will I have any
trouble restoring a backup of my Evolution files to FC20 Evolution once
I upgrade? I have searched the web for advice on this but I can't find
any information that answers this question.
I am concerned that I am making too big of a leap in Evolution versions
and need to consider an intermediate step of upgrading to FC16 or FC17,
restoring my Evolution data and backing it up again to make the leap to
FC20.
Currently running FC14 & Evolution 2.32.3
Thanks for any advice that can be shared.

vnc
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I am trying to understand the port configuration.
With firewall-config, I can set the part range of the vnc-server
let say from 5900-5903
Then as a user, I can open/kill the ports by using vncserver
But I do not understand the link.
:1 does not seems to by associated with 5900 or 5901?
how can I manage this?
Thnak.

I fixed the issue by modifying the .spc file.

Gnome weather extension as malware?
by Robert Moskowitz
Is anyone running the Gnome weather extension? I have disabled it and
my system is running better. Or rather FIrefox is working 'right' again.
This extension gets its weather information from the Norway weather
service, and you can't change this. I had noticed that many places I
was going to in Firefox took a long time to reply. It was as if Firefox
was hanging, and other Firefox windows were not responding either.
I finally fired up wireshark and I was seeing that requests for things
like apis.google.com (or some such) was being routed through a .no site
(by reverse lookup on IP address). Perhaps this extension was altering
Firefox's proxy settings.
I don't have the time or resources to do a serious review, but I am
pointing this out and perhaps others may have noticed this as well. Or
are suffering and not knowing it. This may be accidental or really
actually malicious; just don't know.

host command not seeming to use /etc/hosts file
by Robert Moskowitz
F20
I put an IPv4 entry for a server in my /etc/hosts file. I can 'ping
bob', but 'host bob' comes back with:
Host bob not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
I have this vague memory from years back about a file that set
precedence of hosts file and dns for fqdn lookup. Can't remember it of
find it.
Of course the problem might simply be the host command is incapable of
processing the /etc/hosts file?
thanks for any help on this.
