Config ADSL
by Fedora List
Hi Fedorans.
Hmmm... I need some insight to solve this one.
I've set up a FC1 box to access the web through an ADSL device on a UTP network (ie not USB config).
I can ping DHCP-assigned IP 165.165.144.130 say.
I can ping P-t-P addr 165.165.128.1 (gateway?) with mask 255.255.255.255
I can't ping DNS 196.25.1.11 say, Ctrl-C shows packet loss.
I can't ping canonical names www.cnn.com say, Ctrl-C doesn't even report a response.
I've added all sorts of combinations and permutations with 'route add', alack.
It seems as though the further one moves away from the low level functionality, the less name resolving etc one 'sees'.
I've this going before, but can't remember how.
I am aware of the naming issue in the 'Internet Connection Wizard', where one has to enter 'ppp0' as the provider name.
Any insight is appreciated.
Regards,
Stu@

FC1 on HP Servers
by Roland Venter
Hi Folks,
I'm looking at the possibility at deploying Fedora on HP servers, has anyone
had any issues i.e.:
Detecting hardware devices especially raid controllers and network cards,
stability issues,
HP provide drivers for RH8.0 and RHEL3.0, has anyone been successful in
recompiling drivers to work with FC1?
Servers are newer G2/3 ML and DL's
Any feedback appreciated

RE: I killed X.
by Andy Choens
Thanks,
Sorry about the html, I forgot that Outlook defaulted to html.
xfs is running and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my font paths.
There is one odd thing I forgot to mention that might be useful. When I boot the computer, the graphical starter works just fine. Things only crap out when gdm tries to start up, things freak out. So, I tried to reinstall gdm, wondering if there was something simple wrong there.
I don't know what's wrong......

- check that xfs is running
service xfs status
- run chkfontpath to see if something broke with the font paths

P.S. Do not send HTML formatted mail to this list, even not with colored

Re: I killed X

Check your video card resolution settings. I have an ATI AGP M4 in the
Laptop that I am using right now that wasn't being detected properly by
the set up. X would fire off, bring up a blank screen for a few
seconds, and then drop back to the command line and die. I edited the
the config for the correct card settings and life was good...

Re: SMP program with Dell PowerEdge 2500
by Jay Daniels
The program you refer to is not a program but the fedora smp kernel
kernel-smp-version...
I have yet to get the fedora core 1 smp kernel to boot with intel dual
xeon server. Someone said you can compile an smp kernel from
pristine sources from kernel.org and it will work, but there are
specific instructions to do so.
I opted to wait until sometime this month when Fedora Core 2 is
released with the 2.6 kernel and try core 2's smp kernel.
Why the Fedora smp kernel doesn't work on dual xeons on some boxes and
Redhat 9's works is still a mistery many people have been unable to
solve. With the release of Fedora Core 2 around the corner, I don't
expect this problem will ever be solved with the core 1 smp kernel.

RE: I killed X.

There was a typo in my desperate message. The problem is that I can't
launch X for all of the reasons I described. If anyone has some ideas,
please reply. I've got a big project due on Monday and I can't exactly
work on it right now!

Hmm,
I tried to send this once before, but the crazy windows server here at
work seems to think I have a new e-mail address. Interesting.
As an end result I joined and then got told my message was going to the
moderator. So, I'll try this and see if it gets through without the
moderator because I need some help asap!
I just fouled up big time. I was working on making some posters, and
decided to download some new fonts. I used kcontrol to install them as
administrator. BIG MISTAKE! This screwed things up royally. I can't
launch. I get this as an error:
Fatal Server Error
Could not open default font 'fixed'
I installed the fonts into the directory: /usr/local/share/fonts/TTF
I have tried the following. I deleted them, and ran mkfontdir
Didn't help.
I pulled out my CD's and reinstalled all of X with the following
command.
rpm -Uvh -force X*
I bumped down to init 3 and then back up to 5 and still the same issue.
I even tried linking in the TTF directory.
I don't know what to do, but I've got to get this thing going again.
Honestly, even a hack would be appreciated at this point.
PS. Don't use kcontrol 3.2.1 to install fonts as root. Or you might
wind up using a windows machine to beg for help........
Thanks

Hey.. Since you're the ISP.. May I ask you a question?
Say I'm with ISP X, and I'm subscribed to their 384/128k package.
They say it's best effort. I want to know, how do they Cap the connection
to the said 384k.
What sort of trafficshaping etc do they do? TCP Window shaping?
Packet dropping?? ACKs??

I realize that I have asked this question before but I am getting
problems with print jobs coming from my samba system printing out extra
