Strange email problem developing
by Sharon Kimble 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

I've got this strange problem that has only just started happening in the last few minutes with my email in kmail. I save the emails that are output from my cron jobs and they are stored as a .mbox file in the mail folder. That way they are easily reviewable if I have a problem. Within the last few minutes one of these emails, normally the most recent, which if I try to read it again, shows up in the top pane as 'No Subject' for the subject, and 'Unknown' for the sender, 'unknown' for the date. If I display that email all the header appears as part of the text of the email. At this point the previous email may be displaying in the top pane correctly, but if I then go to display it in the bottom pane, then the top pane changes the email charcteristics to 'Unknown' etc. It appears that there is some form of progressive deterioration occuring. But, how can I stop it, and how can I repair the damage that has been caused without losing the information in the affected emails please? Hopefully thanks Sharon. -- 12:52:41 up 12 days, 20:44, 2 users, load average: 2.43, 1.77, 1.60 A taste of linux http://www.sharons.org.uk/taste/index.html efever http://www.efever.blogspot.com/ Fedora Core 4, KDE 3.4.1-1.2, OpenOffice 1.9.112 Registered Linux user 334501 Now accepting personal mail for gmail invites

Disabling kudzu during reboot -- Solved!
by Benjamin Sher 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Dear friends: After some research in Google, I found the solution. Couldn't be simpler: As root, type: #/sbin/chkconfig kudzu off That's it! Reboot and you'll see that kudzu is gone forever. Good riddance! Of course, if you need it again, just type: #sbin/chkconfig kudzu on Benjamin

X and Composite extension
by malcolm 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

I currently have Suse and KDE with the 'composite' extension and it does all sorts of nifty drop shadows and transparency stuff - However this is neither my favorite distro or my favorite desktop. Does FC4 and Gnome do this wonderful eye candy ? thanks mal

Need info about setup of successfull FC4 install servers.
by Paul Elliott 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

I have an install server that works for FC3 but not for FC4. I need info about how to setup a FC4 install server. What does the line in /etc/exports that nfs shares the directory look like? Options? What is the directory structure of that directory? That is, relative to that directory as the "top level", where are the .iso files located? Where are all the files from the CD roms (or DVD) located? Thank you if you can send me this information. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

sftp -s <batch> refuses to connect
by Ralf Corsepius 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Hi, Since having upgraded to FC4, I am experiencing a strange problem with sftp -b <batch> "sftp -b <batch> user@somesite" refuses to connect: # sftp -b upload.ftp user@somesite Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer While "sftp user@somesite", i.e. interactively using sftp, works: # sftp user@somesite Connecting to somesite ... Password: ... ssh and scp access to the same site also works. Any ideas? Ralf

How do I get rid of Kudzu?
by Benjamin Sher 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Dear friends: Every time I boot up Kudzu insists on checking my hardware. Specifically, checking my printer. I configured my printer a long time ago in Gnome and it works perfectly in both Gnome and KDE. But the hardware configuration box keeps showing up every bootup. I've considered removing it but yum tells me that if I do, I'll have to remove all of KDE. So the obvious question is: how do I disable it so it NEVER shows up again during bootup or whenever unless I personally invoke it? Thank you so much. Benjamin

In praise of vnc on the installation line
by Javier Perez 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Hi I think the installation team should place also vnc as part of the information material regarding options to set on the command line before intallation. I have an nvidia system that was going to give me problem with X during the installation. Text installation is not nice yet because there are some things that you can set up for installation in graphic mode but not intext mode (LVM, individual packages,etc.). But reading TFAs I came across the other options applicable and vnc. It sure was fun to start an installation, tell the system to do an NFS installation and then go to my VNC client to continue the installation as if I wer on the graphic console. Neat! Now I just have to install the nvidia drivers and off I go! (BTW, the system is attached to a TV, that's why I did not have a monitor ) Javier -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho(a)pananet.com ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.

I was ready to reply that I couldn't find "Server Settings" either! I happened to look under the "Desktop" menu item and found it there. (I was looking under "Applications.") Thanks! Mark
