FC1 -> FC2: very slow xDSL connection...
by Andrea Giuliano
Dear all,
a few days ago I had my home ADSL connection working, and it was working
incredibly fast!
Then I decided to upgrade from FC1 to FC2. Note that I've been using FC2
for some weeks here at work with very positive results.
After the upgrade at home, the connection became so slow that it is
almost unusable. I swear I didn't touch the network configuration, which
is indeed very simple: I only did the upgrade, leaving everything as it
was before.
Please note that I still had no chance to install the updates for FC2,
and since one of the first was the kernel itself, I guess I should try
to install them before posting this message.
But, right because of the very slow connection, I must download them at
work, burn a CD and bring it home, and I still had no time to do that.
At present I don't have the network config files with me, but I guess
they wouldn't be enough, so feel free to ask what file you need to
investigate.
Many thanks in advance.

Looking for a big Redhat
by Thijs
Hello All,
I'm building a dutch Fedora-website, and I would like a Redhat, the same
as the one from the Bluecurve theme(start-button), in a big format, for
on the background, but I can't find them. Even Google can't help me :(
Does somebody have a redhat, format: As big as possible ;), but at
least 500x500px.

suEXEC equiv for PHP in Apache2
by Gary Stainburn
Hi folks.
I didn't get a response last week so i thought I'd try again.
I'm moving from RH7.3/Apache1 to FC1/Apache2 and I've found that the user and
group clauses can no longer be used in vitualhosts. I understand that for
CGI's I need to use suEXEC, but does anyone know how I get round it for PHP
files?

resizing partitions
by scott
I had originally installed Mandrake 9.1 on a machine I built.
I had created a 10 Gbyte FAT32 partition, (on /dev/hda1), and later
decided
I wanted to reclaim it for linux. When I used Mandrake's "diskdrake",
it pulled the new
"free space" inside the extended partition (/dev/hda2), and deleted
/dev/hda1. The free space
shows up as space at the begining of /dev/hda2, prior to where
/dev/hda5 ( the first paritition inside the
extended partition). In theory, all the
space is still there. What I would like to do is to resize change
where /dev/hda2 starts to be where /dev/hda5
starts, then create a new partition (/dev/hda1) to use up the free
space.
I currently dual boot to FC2, and used the remaining two partitions for
the FC2 install
(I used the LVM for one of the partition)
Any ideas anyone?
Has anyone had any luck resizing a partition using parted?
Thanks,
Scott

Re: problem with CUPS
by León Alberto Ramos Mendoza
Hi guys!
Regarding the CUPS and ML-1710 SAMSUNG printer, I think that there are
some issues here.
This seems to work for a couple of hours, but, suddenly it stops,
then,I need to restart the service manually or by printing someting
using the lpr command from a terminal. This is quite anoying because I
have smb users complaining about the availability of the printer.
Hesty already reported this problem and Tim replied him with a
question, I just wanted to help and to see if there is a possible
solution to this problem. thanks ! =)
"Hello all,
I am having problem with cups after naively running
setup script for Samsung ML-1710 laser printer (USB).
The driver is available here:
http://www.samsung.com/Products/Printer/support/Download/driver/
driver_SamsungLinuxDriver_0000004418_3.htm
Afterwards, everytime starting cups, I get this error
message:
Starting cups: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/printconf-backend", line 7, in ?
import backend
File "/usr/share/printconf/util/backend.py", line
52, in ?
which = cups_import.which_spooler ()
File "/usr/share/printconf/util/cups_import.py",
line 191, in which_spooler
which = l.split ('.')[1].strip ()
IndexError: list index out of range
I cannot run redhat-config-printer,
redhat-config-printer-gui, printconf, etc. More
importantly, I cannot print to the printer :(
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Hesty"
Tim asked Hesty the next lines:
"What does '/usr/sbin/alternatives --display print' say as the very
first two lines of the output?"
And this is what I have:
"print - status is auto.
link currently points to /usr/local/linuxprinter/bin/llpr
/usr/bin/lpr.cups - priority 40
slave print-cancel: /usr/bin/cancel.cups"
I hope this helps.
Thank you in advance!

useradd: cannot rewrite password file
by Kall, Bruce A.
All of a sudden I am getting this on my Fedora 2 system that has been up
and running fine for some time when I try to add a new user with
useradd. All I can find in bugzilla is a NOTABUG reference (116391) to
shadow. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

What is the right folder to install .bin file
by Barry Yu
As root, I downloaded the Audacity-1.2.xxxx.bz2 , and it is in /root
and I untar it, and then ./audacity-1.2.xxxxx.bin, and the installation
goes on, created a subfolder /audacity-1.2.xxxxx under /root, I cd into
it and ./audacity and the program starts fine.
I decide to install it out of /root so regular user can use it, /usr/bin
or /usr/local which one should be the right place?, do I have to chmod
a+x the audacityxxx.bin file before installing it in the new place?
p.s. : I am not asking for a yum install method instead of the
./audacity.bin because I had tried 2 repositories already but none of
them worked, and the last resort is audacityxxxxxx.bin and it is working
fine now)

good news re sata, & gigabyte 8ipe1000pro2
by Marc Lucke
Hi,
I have asked several times on this list about the performance of the
libata sata drivers over the standard ata ones (/dev/hde as opposed to
/dev/sda). For my machine, a Gigabyte 8IPE1000Pro2 ich5 865PE m/b setup
with a 120GB seagate + 8MB cache my system behaved so much better.
Speed was improved and my busy disk does not mean my system grinds to a
halt for everything else. Well I compiled kernel 2.6.7-bk12 with the
ATA SATA drivers instead of Linux & it (a) booted (b) performs much
better. I used the FC2 config by copying the architecture configuraiton
file to ".config" and made my kernel with "make oldconfig".
For the first time since FC1 and kernel 2.4.24 and above I'm a happy chappy.

renaming my linux box
by xentek dev
how does one set the name for the linux machine when being browsed by a
windows machine?
samba is up and running, and i can access the shares on the linux box
from my WinXP client, but it's named 'localhost'... I'd like to change
it to something more descriptive.
thanks!

Re: X11 Issues
by Thomas Sapp
That helped resolve my issue. My /etc/sysconfig/mouse and
/etc/sysconfig/gpm where already configured this way but when I change the
DEVICE="/dev/mouse" in my XF86Config to DEVICE="/dev/input/mice" it all
works perfectly! woohoo! pass this on to those having the same issues!
Thanks,
Thomas Sapp
