by Gene Heskett 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

Greetings; Running FC2 here, with kde3.3.0. What codec & the url to it, do I need to install to play a .wmv file? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

OpenSSH 4.2p1 over IPv6 results in TCP checksum error
by Jay Cliburn 26 Dec '05

26 Dec '05

Has anyone successfully used the standard FC4 x86_64 RPM version of ssh ( v4.2p1) to connect over IPv6? My attempts result in a TCP checksum error when the client sends the ssh protocol assertion. I have a screenshot of an Ethereal capture of the session that's about 270KB, but I'm not sure what the rules are for posting images/attachments, so I'll hold off on that for now. Here's a synopsis. Frames 1-3: IPv6 address discovery. Frames 4-6: TCP 3-way handshake. Frame 7: SSH server asserts ssh protocol 2 to client. Frame 8: Client ACKs Frame 7. Frame 9: Client asserts ssh protocol 2 to server. Checksum error! Frame 10: Client retransmits. Checksum error again! and so on until Frame 17: Server gives up and issues FIN/ACK to client. Another oddity: If I modify the server sshd_config by setting AddressFamily to inet6, it still accepts IPv4 connections (and the IPv6 connection attempt still fails) after restarting sshd. I'm new to IPv6, so I could certainly have a configuration issue getting in the way here, but ping6 works between the hosts, and the Ethereal capture doesn't show anything out of the ordinary with respect to the source and destination addresses. Before I go and custom build ssh, I'd like verification that the Fedora-supplied ssh rpm actually does or doesn't work straight out of the box under IPv6. Thanks, Jay

by Gavin Li 24 Dec '05

I have some structures defined as: typedef struct { unsigned char ID __attribute__ ((packed)) ; CALIB_ASC asc __attribute__ ((packed)) ; } ASC __attribute__ ((packed)) ; when I compiled the c source file, gcc send warning packed is ignored. There is no warning when use gcc -2.95.x Another problem the option -fvolatile is not supported in gcc-3.4.2, what is the equivalent to do that?

Using yum to update production servers
by Jonathan Carpenter 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

I have a few servers running Fedora 4 core, And I would like to keep them update using yum. This way I will have the security updates and such. I have been using the command from the fedora.redhat.com<http://fedora.redhat.com/>website *su -c '/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 yum on; /sbin/service yum start' But I do have a few servers that run as postgresql and mysql databases will yum wipe my database if it decides or see an update for mysql or postgres* -- Jonathan Carpenter Linux System Administrator Windows System Administrator

Question about sendmail...
by Philip Prindeville 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

I'm running FC3 (updated) on a handful of machines. I have a single IP address, with a NATing router set to that address. I have a domain, and an MX which points through the router at my mail server (or rather, the router is configured to port-forward 25, 143, etc to the mail server). I also have several mail clients on my 192.168.1.x network. The issues are the following: * the clients have a smart host (DS) defined as the mail relay, but they canonical its name and then look it up in the DNS, trying to contact it on the external IP address (and not its internal 192.168.1.x address in the /etc/hosts file). My /etc/nsswitch.conf file is unmodified. * the clients then try to relay the email with a sender's envelope address as user(a)host.my-domain, which the relay rejects because "host.my-domain" doesn't resolve in the DNS. * I should probably have define(`LOCAL_RELAY', `:$S') to handle forwarding everything to the mail server. I used to know all of this stuff once upon a time... Am I missing anything? Thanks, -Philip

DVD burning - mkisofs max size allowed
by A. Lanza 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Hi list, i'm trying to burn a DVD using k3b, as i usually do for CD burning. I'm using 4,7GB size DVD-R. The problem is that i cannot burn a 4,4GB. file. The file is exactly 4,613,704,668 bytes long. The message i get from k3b is the following: /usr/bin/mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type and then File <file> is too large - ignoring It seems like the problem is the file size, but that file should fit in a DVD, shouldn't it? Is there any limit in the size of files written to DVD? Thanks, Alf

Bug report requests for Fedora build of OpenOffice.org software
by Bob Kline 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

The other day while I was running oocalc in the FC4 distribution of the OpenOffice.org suite the program crashed and a dialog message came up stating that "OOo has crashed ..." and requesting that I send a bug report with the displayed information. Assuming that the request was from the OpenOffice.org team, I filed a bug report with them, taking the time to provide a substantial amount of supporting information. I received back a terse request that I file bug reports against the latest, not the production version of the software I am running. When I wrote back to point out that I wasn't a beta tester, and that I had only filed a bug report because they had asked me to, they retorted that it wasn't their software that had crashed, and made it very clear that they don't want bug reports for derived versions of their software which they didn't build themselves. I wrote back and apologized for having bothered them, thinking that the dialog box requesting the bug report had been put up by the OOo team, rather than the Fedora team, and I promised that I would pass along to the Fedora team a suggestion that your build should not be requesting bug reports for builds of OOo created by the Fedora team. So that's what I'm doing. Bob Kline (Yes, I know it doesn't make any sense for developers to turn down carefully prepared feedback on problems in their software, no matter where it's built. I'm just passing on what I was told by the OOo team. Sorry!) __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Re: FC4 laptop no sound AC'97: amixer: Unable to find simple control PCM-2 and DRC-Range

FC3 wav audio worked fine on this laptop, but it went silent on the "upgrade" to FC4. Looks like this fix ought to go back into the main tree. -Nigel

OpenOffice crashing randomly
by Dotan Cohen 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Since the pgrade to OO2, we have random crashes in Writer. As they happen to my wife and not me, I'm not there to see what happend 'just before', but she says that 'nothing' happend just before. Is there a log to check? If I open it for her at the command line, will it leave output when it crashes? Thanks.

From: mooshie <mooshie(a)bluebottle.com> Subject: Installing Gnome 2.12 in Fedora Hello all! I found this nice little tutorial on how to install the newest Gnome 2.12 in Fedora Core, it works perfectly! You will definatly notice the difference from 2.10! Check it out and let me know how it works for you! http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Upgrade_your_FC4_box_to_the_lates… Note: I am not taking credit for writing this, nor am I the technical support for it. Wow, this is great, it's easy and it works. A bug I had with Nautilus in FC4's Gnome 2.10 is gone. Plus all the new features. I highly recommend doing this. Next I will do my laptop!!! Stephen
