Rdesktop link to Windows XP Home Edition ?
by Timothy Murphy 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Has anyone successfully used rdesktop to link to a machine running Windows XP Home Edition? As far as I can see, Windows XP Home Edition does not support Telnet server or Remote Desktop (as Windows XP Pro does). It does support "Remote Assistance", and I see from the archive for this list that some claim one could use this to login to a Windows machine from a Linux box. Unfortunately none of the postings I have seen explains how this is done. Has anyone actually linked Linux to WinXP Home in this way? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

.gtkrc problems
by Peter Magnusson 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

GTK doesnt seem to have any good way of how to handle themes. I have these .gtkrc files: [iocc@flashdance iocc]$ ll .gtkrc* -rw-r--r-- 1 iocc 218 Dec 4 2004 .gtkrc -rw-rw-r-- 1 iocc 133 Dec 7 2004 .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 -rw-r--r-- 1 iocc 247 Dec 4 2004 .gtkrc-2.0 [iocc@flashdance iocc]$ cat .gtkrc # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT #include "/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk/gtkrc" #include "/usr/share/themes/Crux/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" include "/usr/share/themes/Glider/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT [iocc@flashdance iocc]$ cat .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 # Autowritten by gnome-settings-daemon. Do not edit include "/usr/share/themes/Raleigh/gtk/gtkrc" include "/home/iocc/.gtkrc.mine" [iocc@flashdance iocc]$ cat .gtkrc-2.0 # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT #include "/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk/gtkrc" #include "/usr/share/themes/Crux/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" include "/usr/share/themes/Glider/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT .................... .gtkrc-2.0 did I create myself because i cant use xchat without emacs bindings. .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 is probably autocreated by something, dunno. .gtkrc is mostly used I guess. Problem is... Some gtk programs says that its broken: [iocc@flashdance iocc]$ xmms /usr/share/themes/Glider/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:11: error: unexpected identifier `GtkWidget', expected character `}' for example. I have had this for like 8 months now. I wonder how it can be fixed? Glider was included in FC3 that is running on this box. I havent modified Glider/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. I get no themes in xmms ofcourse. An other note, the themes included in FC3 is very similar. They dont differ much at all. Wouldnt it be better to include themes that most people would like to have (like MacOS X style Aqua for example?) and maybe a bit more, maybe in FC5? It doesnt take much space. Personally I think they are quite ugly the one that are included by default. Is there anywhere to download new themes? It doesnt matter that much how it looks, its fine as long that they doesnt annoy me. Like GIGANTIC font, bizarr colors or so...

by Jason (spot) Brower 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

in FC3 my webcam worked, quickcam 4000 pro but in the new release FC4 it doesn't work. Is there a solution? and is there a program for yum that works like synaptic? If not, is there a way for e to get the source installed under apt-get so I can use synaptic to install software? -- Jason Brower Encompass Computers (608)744-3343

Keyboard keycodes
by Mike Chambers 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

I have an MS wireless desktop (keyboard and mouse are wireless), that in which I have an "F Lock" button that I have to push for my F1-F12 buttons to work, or if I don't, those same buttons use email commands, such as reply, open, clearn, etc.. I am seeing in my logs all the time to set a key code, which is I guess this button (or it's my numLock button), but I don't know which keycode to use. Jul 30 23:59:09 scrappy kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd9 on isa0060/serio0). Jul 30 23:59:09 scrappy kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e059 <keycode>' to make it known. How do I know which keycode to use? -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Everything is always harder, before it's easier!

Setting up Radius
by John Aldrich 31 Jul '05

How hard is it to set up and administer RADIUS? At work, we're looking at offering dial-up access and while I've run it before, I haven't actually *set it up* before... Thanks John

Error launching gnome apps as root: "Failed to contact configuration server"
by Colin Brace 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

I am getting an error message launching gnome programs as root or launching programs which require root access, such as the hardware browser: An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-network-preferences. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly. A second dialog box gives additional information: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-root/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: Input/output error 2: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-root/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: Input/output error) I took a look at the gnome.org page, but didn't find a clear answer. Likewise, Google didn't return any helpful any information. The problem developed after I used the Fedora installer upgrade my system from Core 2 to Core 4. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Thanks.
