Dual NICs flopping IP Addresses
by Gregory Malsack
Hello All,
I have a core 5 server running with dual nics, 1 for network connectivity, and 1 for mirroring to secondary server.
All runs well, except that every time I reboot the server the ip addresses swap network cards. Any idea on how I can stop this?
Thanks,
Greg

FC6 on X86_64
by Christopher Johnson
I've been unable to install FC6 on my AMD 64 system and I haven't seen
anyone else with this problem in the forums. The error I receive is
"isolinux: Disk error 80" right after it starts from the DVD. I've tried
both the 32 and 64 bit versions of the DVD and strangely I get further with
the 32 bit version. Unfortunately it still will not boot once its through
the install process.
I may have bad hardware but if anyone can point me torroward a forum thread
that might help I would appreicate it.

Totem is not working on FC6
by Andre Costa
Hi,
I can't use totem on FC6 to view MPEG movies, this is what happens:
(totem:10128): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Cannot load module `/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libdesktop.so' (/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libdesktop.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
Segmentation fault
gnome-vfs2 is installed, but indeed it doesn't provide libdesktop.so.
I have /usr/lib/vfs/modules/libdesktop.so, but it is provided by
gnome-vfs, which is an _old_ package:
~ rpm -qi gnome-vfs

Description :
...
So... anyone knows what's going on? Do I still need gnome-vfs around?
Where do I find libdesktop.so for gnome-vfs2? How do I make totem work?
BTW: I just upgraded from FC5 to FC6. I have been doing upgrades (i.e.
no clean installs) since FC1, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was
some garbage left behind (there's always some cleanup to do ;-))...
TIA
Andre

nvidia drivers from freshrpms.net
by Fernando Lozano
Hi there,
I have a nVidia GEForce MX 440 card but never bothered with OpenGL
applications before. But I just installed FC6 and heard all rumors about
compiz, so I decided to give it a try.
I understand I need the nVidia proprietary drivers for compiz to work
with my card, so I installed the package from Freshrpms.net. But it
looks like the kernel refuses to load the drivers. At least I say a
message saying so during boot and could not start X. I had to
reconfigure X to use the Xorg open source driver (nv) instead of the
proprietary one (nvidia) but I could not find in any log that message.
I read the docs from nVidia web site but had no success. What could be
preventing the driver to load? Maybe SELinux?

I've been doing *EXACTLY* this for quite a few years. Dan's advice will
get you started on DNS but you should probably take things slowly. Get
your DNS set up and check that you can "find yourself" from outside your
own network (e.g., go to someplace that provides public internet access
and make sure you can connect). Make sure your ISP allows you to run
your own servers. Many ISPs do not or require that you purchase a
business account in order to do so.
As another poster has pointed out, you are supposed to have more than
one DNS pointing to your network. The internet police will not swoop
down on you if you don't but your network disappears whenever your name
server is down. A quick reboot isn't usually a problem but you probably
ought to have some sort of backup available in case you have a hardware
failure that has your DNS down for a lengthy period of time. As an
example, my DNS box is also the primary server for my home network so I
set all of the drives up with Linux software RAID and then confirmed
that the box still functions if I remove a ribbon cable from any disk.
In addition, I have an old PIII/733 that I typically use for testing
that I can swap in if I have to.
Once you have your network "live" you can start messing with sendmail.
Make sure you disable relaying from outside your network. Getting a
basic configuration working isn't hard and it's really nice to be able
to control your own e-mail. The only problem I've run into is my ISP
still claims my IP address on a reverse look-up so there are a very few
places (spamhaus in particular) who won't accept e-mail from my domain.
Cheers,
Dave

Running own mail server
by Edward Dekkers
Hey there guys,
for years I've run fetchmail to grab mail from my isp in multidrop mode.
Now, my area is finally ADSL enabled. The ISP I'm going with gives out
free static IP addresses. I've also bought a domain name which is
currently parked.
I'm pretty sure I can get the sendmail part sorted, but DNS has me
confused. At the domain name site, I can put in two name server fields.
Originally I thought I could just run DNS here on my Linux box. But
apparently from what I understand of the reading I'm doing I'd need two
servers to do this.
Other readings I'm doing are telling me to use my ISP's DNS servers and
have them set up the records for me.
At this stage I do not know whether that will cost money or not.
Some whispers around the traps tell me there's free DNS hosting services
all over the net.
All in all I'm very confused.
Could someone tell me what step 1 would be to get this going?
Thanks
Ed.

mp3's hosed again
by J.Moore
I recently upgraded to FC5 (from FC4). I followed the instructions in
the Sound Juicer help file to add mp3 to the list of available formats,
and immediately ripped a new CD. However, when I try to play the .mp3
files in Audio Player, it refuses to play. The "old" mp3 files still
play in Audio Player just fine.
I know this must be the oldest and tiredest question, but how do I get
Audio Player to play the "new" mp3 files?
Thanks,
Jay
