pan
by Amadeus W.M. 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Are we no longer to switch news servers in pan in FC6? I added news.gmane.org when pan first came up, then I added another server where I can read things like comp.os.linux.misc. I can't figure out for the life of me how to switch the news servers with the new pan layout.

I'm not understanding what you mean by "mount manually" fails on reboot but you can mount it, "once the machine comes up." Is your mount command in /etc/init.d/rc.local? Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Pan in FC6: heads-up
by Jack Spaar 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

For regular users of the pan newsreader planning to upgrade to FC6: FC6 installs the newest branch of pan (nice) which does not import any existing user settings (ouch). For a simple one-server, one-profile setup, it's no big deal to enter these manually again. Old pan settings are left in ~/.pan, while new ones are created in ~/.pan2. So you can look through the .xml files for servers and profiles. For more complicated setups, there are some useful suggestions here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user/7759 In particular, I would have used this bit of advice BEFORE upgrading: >Subscribed group and read-message tracking: You'll want to use old-pan's >newsrc export ability for this, setting the preferences to write the >newsrcs. You'll need to ensure one is created for each server. New-pan >uses newsrc files directly, so once you have them created in old-pan, all >you have to do is move them into correct place in new-pan. --Jack

evolution deleted message display
by Les Mikesell 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

Just recently my evolution on FC5 started to display deleted message subjects with a large black bar that I find distracting instead of the previous tastefully thin overstrike to indicate deletion. Does anyone know how to get the old display back? I assume this was a change from a recent update, but I don't see anything about evolution in the yum log. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

the super-server "inetd" or "xinetd" for vmwear sever
by Yuandan Zhang 01 Nov '06

HI, I try to configure the free wmvear server for FC5 and get error as follows, i do have folder /etc/xinetd.d [frog|11:34:29|~]ls /etc/xinetd.d/ cvs eklogin ekrb5-telnet gssftp klogin krb5-telnet kshell rsync ERROR from vmwear configure: The module loads perfectly in the running kernel. Please specify a port for remote console connections to use [904] WARNING: VMware Server has been configured to run on a port different from the default port. Remember to use this port when connecting to this server. Unable to find any instance of the super-server "inetd" or "xinetd". It is possible that you do not have one of these packages installed on this machine. Please install "inetd" or "xinetd". If you do have "inetd" or "xinetd" installed, make sure that /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d exists. The configuration will continue, but you should re-run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl after you fix the super-server. Hit enter to continue. how to fix it? Thanks -- ....................................
