Fwd: Re: Tackling a shared USB printer (linux -> WXP)
by Brion Swanson
Are you suggesting that I should be able to simply enable raw queuing with the
Canon drivers for my printer? As far as I could tell, I have a choice - raw or
Canon. With raw, localhost won't print (logs don't reveal a problem either),
but with the Canon driver, I can print locally but not from Windows (logs
complain that an octet stream arrived and it didn't know how to handle it).
When I went into the mime.types and mime.convs manually and uncommented the
octet-stream line with the Canon drivers, then I could print both from
localhost and from networked printers. But that, I've been told, is not really
how I should be doing it -- aside from the fact if I change anything using the
redhat-config-printer tool it'll re-create my mime.* files and comment the
octet-stream line out again.
Thanks,
Brion

I am 37 and I started using linux when I was 29. All 4 of my six
computers are running linux.
To be almost 30, you have some serious misconceptions.

Shuttle SN41G2 and FC1
by John Aegard
Last night, I installed FC1 on my new Shuttle SN41G2, which has
512MB of RAM and an integrated nvidia graphics controller that
shares a configurable amount of that ram -- in my case, 32MB.
I kept getting this error after hitting [enter] at the
installer's boot prompt
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root FS (9,2)
The fix for this problem is to start the installer by entering
linux mem=480 at the boot: prompt. I suspect the installer
doesn't realize that some of the system ram is used by the video,
and is trying to assign the ramdisk to that ram.
In the next couple days, I'll get the latest FC test iso's and
see if this is still an issue and do some bug reporting if it is.
I just wanted to post this for posterity's sake.

Random core dumps in home directory
by VB
Why would I get random core dumps in my home directory
every now and then after I've started my system (or
maybe it's during login?)?
I know this question has been asked before, I think.
Searching the archive was little help. Somebody
suggested "limit coredumpsize 0" to prevent it. But
why does it happen??

Netiquette, GPG Keys, Keyservers
by Charles Howse
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I was reading http://www.charlescurley.com/netiquette.html, and remembered an
issue that I had wanted to ask about.
I know there is a gpg list, but maybe someone here can save me the trouble of
subscribing for just two questions.
First, I have 2 gpg keys out there...search for my email address on
http://pgp.mit.edu/
I've lost the revocation cert for the older key, so I suppose I can't get rid
of it...?
Second, what is the accepted way of making it easy for someone reading my
signed email to import my key from the keyserver?
Should I post the fingerprint or id in my sig?

OpenSSH and UsePrivilegeSeparation
by Ray Van Dolson
I'm setting up a bunch of Fedora-based servers that will be
authenticating logins via pam_ldap (PAM). I've gotten things
running nicely, but ran into a small probelm with OpenSSH. When
a user who hasn't logged into a certain box before logs in and
his home directory doesn't exist, I use the pam_mkhomedir.so
module to create the directory. However, this will barf on
OpenSSH <= 3.7 unless Privilege Separation is disabled since
after authentication is complete, the process is running as the
'ssh' user and can't write to /home (and couldn't change the
owner of the new directory to the user I want in any case).
Work-around is to turn off privilege separation, but I'm not sure
how good of an idea this is... the other option would be to upgrade
to OpenSSH 3.7.x where this problem is no longer an issue.
Any plans to bump Fedora's OpenSSH to 3.7? Doesn't appear to be
the case in C2. Maybe I should roll my own RPM's or just modify
my Kickstart configuration to turn off privilege separation on
all the boxes when they're set up...
Just looking for some opinions.

issues when updating packages
by Jon Shorie
When I do a yum upgrade or a yum update, I get the following message:
.Package gtkhtml3-devel needs gtkhtml3 = 3.0.9-5, this is not available.
If I add the following line to my /etc/yum.conf:
exclude=gtkhtm* fortun* kdetoys
and do the yum upgrade again, then I get the following:
Package evolution-devel needs gtkhtml3.0-devel >= 3.0.10, this is not
available.
Package evolution-devel needs libgal2.0-devel >= 1.99.11, this is not
available.
Package evolution needs gtkhtml3.0 >= 3.0.10, this is not available.
Package evolution needs libcom_err.so.3, this is not available.
Package gnome-pilot-devel needs gnome-pilot = 2.0.10, this is not available.
Package libsoup-devel needs libsoup = 1.99.26, this is not available.
Now I am pretty sure that both gtkhtml3 and gtkhtml3-devel are installed
because when I do an:
apt-get install gtkhtml3
I get
gtkhtml3 is already the newest version.
apt-get install gtkhtml3-devel
I get
apt-get install gtkhtml3-devel
gtkhtml3-devel is already the newest version.
Any suggestions?
