Gno fonts in GNOME (not pango problem)
by Mark J. Reed 13 Jun '04

13 Jun '04

For some reason I have no fonts in GNOME. It's not the pango problem; my pango.modules is fully populated and world readable, as are all the directories it references. But when I do a cleanup and start gnome from scratch, all text disappears as soon as it gets to the globe+arrow logo. I assume from this that it's a locale problem, but I have no idea where to go from there. I also get empty .gnome2/share/?(cursor-)fonts/fonts.dir files - or actually, containing just the single character '0'. Dunno if that's related or if it just means I don't have my own custom fonts. Any help? -Mark

RE: Random Screen Blank on startup all the Time.

Is that while you are activly using it? And if i turn off the screensaver it SHOULD stop? -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Stone [mailto:chris.stone@gmail.com] Sent: Mon 5/31/2004 6:46 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Cc: Subject: Re: Random Screen Blank on startup all the Time. This happens to me about 3-4 times when I first boot X.org. It's like it goes into screensaver mode. However, I can recover by just pressing any key, and the monitor will turn back on. It will turn off my monitor about 3-4 times but then after that it goes back to normal and never happens again. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ragone_Andrew <andrag(a)bergen.org> Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 18:42:44 -0400 Subject: Random Screen Blank on startup all the Time. To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com I have posted to Bugzilla but have not gotten any replies. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with this problem: Description of problem: I have an error where the screen blacks out [seems to turn off all output to the monitor] after a certain period of time whether I am activly using my system or it is idle. I need to either restart the computer to regain functionality or SOMETIMES i can Ctrl-Alt-F7 or F8 and it will switch back into the X session I had been running. Otherwise Ctrl-Alt-F1 doesnt even bring up the shell, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesnt restart X, and the keyboard seems to not function [i know this because no keyboard lights go on for Num/Caps lock]. It occurs after my installation of FC2 x86_64 today and I origianlly thought it may be the wrong monitor that I specificed, but I returned to generic and it still occurs. I am running a PCI ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon [i believe 7000 series] on a FC2 AMD Athlon64 system with x86_64. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): default FC2 x86_64 release How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC2 on x86_64 2. Boot up X and logon 3. Use the computer for 10-20 minutes or let it be idle and will find the screen go blank Actual Results: Screen goes blank. Usually keyboard is unrepsonsive to X restart commands or Shell keycodes. Expected Results: X continue to function normally. No reason for the screen to go blank. The drivers and config SEEM to be correct as it takes time for this issue to occue. Additional info: Have tried to reconfigure the monitor display. Didnt work. -Andrew -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

FC2: Question about hotplugging
by Jean-Rene Cormier 10 Jun '04

10 Jun '04

Hi, I have a laptop with an Intel Pro Wireless mini-PCI card and I installed the IPW2100 driver and I can do a modprobe ipw2100 and it loads the module and the firmware but when I boot the laptop the module gets loaded automatically but it can't find the firmware. After Fedora is done booting I can do an rmmod ipw2100 and then a modprobe ipw2100 and the module will load and it will find and load the firmware. I asked on the IPW2100-devel list and someone suggested to me that maybe it was because the modules gets loaded before fedora starts hotplugging. I just looked at the init scripts and hotplug seems to start in the rc.sysinit so obviously it should start before networking. Is there a way I could make sure hotplugging gets started earlier than the networking in the boot process? Anybody had a similar problem? Jean-Rene Cormier

Firewall - Very limited Access - suggestions
by Kevin F. Berrien 09 Jun '04

09 Jun '04

I'm intersted in building a bastion firewall for the following sistuation. Have a closed network (police dept). There are no crosses to the internet. However, we'd like VERY LIMITED access by the Windows DC server for the following: Windows update (via SUS), Symantec AV updates, VNC/or remote desktop connection to 1 or 2 workstations on our WAN. Thus, I want to limit all traffic except various protocols/ports between specific IP's/URL's. Certianly FC and iptables can do this, does anyone recommend a configuration utility, start off scripts, etc? Should I be looking more into LRP (now defunct), etc? My iptables knowledge is not great (did it years ago), so some configuration utility would be great, and my co-workers isn't experienced in this area at all.

using libmilter, milter-spamc and spamassasin
by John Walsh 09 Jun '04

09 Jun '04

Hi, My intension is to get spamassasin to process ALL the emails that pass through my sendmail, even those forwarded on to external email addresses through /etc/mail/virtusertable... IF YOU HAVE AN ANSWER AT THIS POINT, PLEASE JUMP IN AND TELL ME WHAT TO LOOK AT. Otherwise... I have sendmail working fine, a large virtusertable working fine, aliases working fine, ... I don't currently use procmail, and don't think I want to. All my email goes into /var/spool/mail/* After much web searching, I found out that the normal use of spamassasin is through procmail, but I don't want to use this method because it would miss out all my virtusertable forwarding. After a bit more web searching, I found: http://www.snert.com/Software/milter-spamc/ which looks like it is exactly what I want - although it does not state if its processing happens before or after virtusertable is applied ? BUT, to use this milter-spamc, I need sendmail to be configured with the Milter API enabled, and to build libmilter too. So my question(s) are: 1) is sendmail with FC1.0 compiled with the Milter API enabled ? 2) if not, is there anything I need to consider in downloading the source and installing from that - other than following the normal instructions ? 3) has anyone else used libmilter in FC1.0 - and any issues ? 4) does the Milter API process emails before or after /etc/mail/virtusertable ? 5) has anyone also used milter-spamc - and any issues ? 6) if there is a bigger advantage to using procmail (inplace of aliases and virtusertable), then please let me know so I can switch to this method. Thanks, John. ps. if Fedora sendmail is not configured with the Milter API enabled - please can it be ? As it is supplied without the source (I believe), would it be better to have this feature enabled by default ? _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE connection, FREE modem and one month's FREE line rental, plus a US or European flight when you sign up for BT Broadband! http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/btbroadband
