yum vs system-config-package
by Wong Kwok-hon
Hello!
I found that the "Add/remove packages" always displayed "Unlocatable
package" but the name is like "libselinux,1" and problem still
happened even I rebuild the rpm db or install the rpm --justdb. But
the package "libselinux" is actually installed .So What can I do if
this incident happened again and what would it caused to happened ?
Although the problem happened and I can perform install by yum.

Startup Scrpts
by paul lawrence
Hi,
I am new to the world of linux, for my sins I have been entirely a Microsoft
person; untill now, and I need some advice on how to do something.
I have a server running Fedora Core 3, with Resin.
I want to be able to create a startup script that will set some environment
variables for Java, start up Resin and the call two custom scripts I have
been given. I have been playing around with a file called resin-a.sh which
a web site suggested creating to run the commands I want.
>From a promt, if I type the following the variables are set OK, but if I
include them in the resin-a.sh file and type sh resin-a.sh they are not
set.
export set JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06
export set RESIN_HOME=/usr/local/resin
export set PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/bin
I also want to somehow include in this script a startup command for httpd.sh
to start the resin web server and also to call to other scripts.
Any help would be much appreciated, as I said I am completely new to this
and its a little confusing.
Regards
Paul

Enable Firewall, But Allow Specific Inbound Connections
by Robert L Cochran
On Fedora Core 3, I want to enable the firewall, permitting inbound TCP
connections from anywhere on port 80. I also want to allow inbound
connections on port 3306 but only from hosts 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2.
It looks like I can't do this from the Applications --> System Settings
--> Security Level GUI. I can allow ports 80 and 3306, but it doesn't
look like I can limit the port 3306 connections to just 2 specific
hosts. I would have to craft an IPTABLES script. Am I right here, and if
so, what would be the right way to add specific IPTABLES rules without
interfering with the Security Level applet?
Thanks

Re: Fedora Core 3 sound problems.....?
by Peter Lesterhuis
Hi there,
I'm new at this Linux thing and i've just installed Fedora Core 3 on
my desktop, so i hope someone would be kind enough to help me out with
my problems.
After installing Fedora, the first thing i notice is that i can't play
any VCD, DVD or even normal audio CDs; I "tested" my soundcard and it
work find because i can hear the sample sound played in the "Sound
Card Detection" section and i can also hear all the system events
sounds.... so far that is my worries after installing Fedora into my
desktop apart from not being able to access my NTFS partition but that
i can solve..... so pls help me out with my sound ( & video )
problems. thanks
Hi,
I seem to have exactly the same problem. I cann't hear an audio cd and i cann't play a dvd (movie).
Testing the soundcard (system settings - soundcard detection) shows audio device, model and module. When i hit
"play test sound" i hear the test sound very well. I changed permissions of /dev/hdb (my cd-rom drive) to 664, but
this made no difference. I checked the alsamixer for muted switches or low volume levels. When i try to play a
audio-cd i can read all the tracks, so the cd-player is picking up a signal at least.

I hope somebody can give me a clue.

mouse bindings
by Carl Nygard
Can someone point me to where the mouse bindings configuration went?
FC3 seems to have removed easy access to it, and I want it back.
Raising the window when I click inside the window is *not* what I want
metacity to do, I have focus follows mouse and I want the window layers
arrangement to remain the same when I'm working in a partially obscured
window.
Help?

Fwd: How can i find out, what files a RPM is provding?

I've never heard that. The query function is a standard function of
RPM. If you have RPM installed (and you should) then you should be
able to perform any queries of your RPM packages.
Try rpm -? for additional help.
rpm -q = query mode
--whatprovides is an argument to the query mode that tells RPM to look
at it's own data and tell you which packages provided a particular
file.
For example, I want to know what package I installed that provided me
with libmysqlclient.so.10:
rpm -q --whatprovides libmysqlclient.so.10
Then it gives me back an answer:
MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.9-0
So any file that is installed from an RPM package can be queried this
way to let you know which package installed the file.
I didn't have to add any additional packages to be able to do this
query -- or at least none that I intentionally added.

Firefox, Thunderbird and %#$@* Evolution
by Robert
FC3, KDE
I have been attempting to find a way to migrate from Mozilla to Firefox
and Thunderbird. So far, everything has gone pretty well EXCEPT that
when I wanted to email a web page from within Firefox, that option was
not available. The only choice is to "Send Link". That's acceptable
and definitely more friendly for those who are still using dialup
connections but the deal breaker for me is that it wants to use
Evolution and I don't/won't. I have looked in the prefs.js file, in
about:config and in the handful of options available under Edit -->
preferences and haven't exactly been inundated with clues. In the Help
section, I find this jewel:
Send Link...
Opens an email composition window using your computer's default
email program so you can send a message with a link to the
current page. This feature is currently only available on
Windows, Mac OS X and OS/2.
...which is about as useful as "How may I help you today" on the
back of Walmart employees vests.
I tried removing evolution from another machine that I don't mind
wrecking and sure enough, evolution didn't try to start. Neither did any
other mail client, as in NOP.
Any ideas short of doing a fresh install and specifically omitting
evolution?

Ok but Webmin is just a part of what i'm searching..
I want to have an system stats and summary (if service failed..) and a
lot of information about my systems (i think the software must parse logs)
