NFS mounting... bypass portmap
by Dan Vietor
I am trying to mount a NFS partition across a router that has port 111
(TCP) blocked. In Fedora 1 and other RedHat releases, I could use the
mountport=### in the mount options to bypass portmap and mount the
partition. In Fedora 2, this option seems to be disabled.
When I use ethereal to check what's going on, I see a TCP request to
sunrpc (port 111 or portmap) and a return from the router "ICMP no route
to host" and then the mount fails. It actually backgrounds the mount
process and hangs there.
Is there any way with the FC2 mount command to bypass the portmapper and
specify the port that mountd is running on so I can mount the partition?

Start up gnome-session-manager. Kill metacity (if running) and
nautilus. Start enlightenment (if needed) and set everything the way
you like. Make sure that "Save desktop on exit" is checked and exit the
app. Now logout and login.

Nautilus Window Behavior Question
by Jerry DeLisle
When I double click a folder icon on the desktop it opens a window.
When I double click a folder within that window I get another window, ad
infinatum.
Is there a way to configure the behavior so that it does not open a new
window, but just displays the contents of the sub folder in the existing
window?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Jerry

does FC2 support NTFS ?
by Kali
hi all,
does FC2 support NTFS ? i want to acess the windows 'D' drive {i can
access 'C" using the mount command but not my backup partition D
drive} which is currently on another Hard disk using a SATA Intel
Motherboard. FC2 is in the old HD. {{ Btw, windows has crashed (not
surprising at all) and hence the long route }}
Second problem is that the mozilla browser has also gone kaput and
does not load. How do i set it right ? Please be kind as i am quet new
to the *nix world :-)
thanks for your time,
Kali

Text Editor
by Thomas E Dukes
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a text editor equivalent to TextPad for
Windows.
What I'm looking for is the ability to search for a word or phrase in a
directory of files.

Fedora Core 2 on Compaq (HP) Proliant DL360 G2
by Joel Moxey
Hi!
I am having much difficulty installing FC2 on a Compaq Proliant DL360 G2.
First of all I tried using the GUI install this just froze before completing installing the RPMs, I tried doing on install using text, and the install stopped at about the same place - however, this time the screen was covered in a load of characters!
After I tried all combinations of using ide=nodma and noacpi, and when using both together, the install managed to get through to the post-RPM bit where configuration is done - I then just had an egg timer for a long long time.... so it seems to have hung later in the process.
I'm not really sure what to try next!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joel

Latest versions of cdrecord, xcdroast, k3b can't burn my CDs
by Fulko.Hew＠sita.aero
I updated my FC2 system last night with the new versions of CD burner
software that was release yesterday... and this morning...
I can't burn CDs any more. I'm not sure I can blank CDs either.
I noticed that I had to go through the xcdroast setup procedure again.
Its progress bars don't work for me anymore, and the result
of a burn, is not mountable.
When I try k3b, it causes my CD burner to drive the head into
the end stops (not a nice sound), and I get the same bad
result. The first time, it couldn't even complete the burn,
and the second time, it completed, but again it was un-mountable.
I know one other person, who can't burn CDs anymore too,
so its not just me.
Comments??

Show/Hide Details
by Greg Lobring
Hello, I am trying to find where to configure FC2 so that when my
computer is booting up (before it gets to the login screen) it will
default to the "Show Details" screen (instead of me having to click
the "Show Details" link).
Is this possible to do? If so, can anyone point me in the right
direction? I searched all through the Login Screen configuration, but
all of that occurs after.
Many thanks.

Dual Head and maximum resolution.
by Jim Cornette
I am trying to setup dual head and it seems that the max resolution for
each of the different cards is maxed at 800x600. Is this a normal limit
for dual-head setups. The resolution happens whether I setup the
secondary card for dual head or have it active as a virtual desktop.
Hardware is below for video.
Internal:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82815 CGC [Chipset
Graphics Controller] (rev 02)
PCI card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R100 QD
[Radeon 7200]
