Firefox, Thunderbird and %#$@* Evolution
by Robert 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

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)

Re: Fedora3 installation

Thanks for the message. It is consistent but the boot image I copied is from my floppy (Red-Hat9.0) which boots up and lets me get into RH9 OK? If I should I use another boot image, where can I get it from?

Problems with ldap on Fedora Core 3
by Bruce Embrey 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Fedora List: I get the following error when trying to log in to FC3 with ssh using ldap: Last login: Mon Jan 24 10:13:34 2005 from 192.168.2.107 id: cannot find name for user ID 10271 id: cannot find name for user ID 10271 [I have no name!@cpg23 ~]$ I get this error both when using ssl or TLS. It appears that ldap authenication is working but not the ldap user information. I've applied updates for FC3 and it hasn't resolved this issue. Has anyone been able to get this to work in FC3? I also have a Redhat 7.2 server that uses ldap and it is working fine. Bruce

Hi, I want to know if a project like this exists : A web interface for a system summary (load average etc.. (like phpsysinfo)) with administration possibility (add, remove... users / group...) and have a summary of the system (like the daily mail made by slocate (or another cron.daily task....) ? I search this just for fedora.. the idea isn't to make another webmin but to make a Fedora Server Web Interface if you know what i'm searching.. Thanks !

This fixed the problems for me. -Curt I cann't find any "sense" controls. All i see on the control panel is; master-PCM-surround-center -LFE-line-CD-mic-mic boost-video-IEC 958-IEC 958 Playback AC97-SPSA-PC speaker-AUX. I muted them one by one though without any improvement. I noticed that testing GStreamer Preferences (applications-preferences-more pref-multimedia systems selector) both audio tests result in failure. I not sure if this is important. I installed xine and was astonished to find out that both cd's and (movie-)dvd's can be played now. I am happy and grateful for the hint someone of this list gave me. Still i wonder why xmms and cd-player won work. Peter.

selinux and apache modules linked against libs in non-standard places
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

I have PHP module linked against library in non-standard place. When starting Apache web server, it loads PHP module, which in turn attempts to load this library. This is what I get in /var/log/messages each time I start Apache: kernel: audit(1107201979.916:0): avc: denied { execute } for pid=3248 path=/opt/foobar/lib/libfoobar.so.1.0.0.1 dev=dm-1 ino=560573 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=file I believe this is due to the fact that Apache is restricted in what files it can open using SELinux policies. How to allow Apache to use an library in non-standard place (/opt/foobar/lib for example)? Preferably in a way that will not be overwritten when system is updated (if possible, of course). -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic(a)pbl.ca> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7

Evolution vs Kmail/Kontack Observation
by Chadley Wilson 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hi guys, I recently switched back to fedora from suse9.1 I decided to give good old gnome a bash, but using evolution I noticed that mail retrieving took quite a long time. Well what can you expect from a super busy list. The question is why when I switched back to KDE does Kmail retrieve mail so much faster. Going out on a limb here I suppose it has some thing to do with the when and how it sorts mail. I have the same filters in place on kmail as on evolution and am subscribed to 16 mailing lists and 6 news groups. So the filter I have in place are definatly not the issue, and since kmail is noticabley faster that eliminate the fact that my server could be slow or busy. In my test which I conducted today I set evolution (currently my default) to leave messages on the server. Tonight I backup my evolution folder, I then configured my account in evolution and kmail both set to leave messages on the server. Evolution downloaded the 1500 odd emails in 5 minutes while kmail downloaded the same (give or take about 10 mails) in 30 seconds. Is this a common observation or is there something that is not functioning correctly in my evolution setup?
