x0vncserver HowTo
by Jamie Bohr 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

After logging into X (KDE) I start x0vncserver. I tried several options (-display=:0) but none seem to resolve my issue. From a remote (or the local system) I try to connect to the server using vncviewer hostname:0, I get Connection refused. I can telnet hostname 5998 and get a responce. I have googled around and found nothing. I am missing something just not sure what? How do I connect to a VNC server? I am finding I can not connect to any VNC session (not even :1 after starting it) yet I can telnet to the port. Any input would be greatly appreciated. -- Jamie Bohr

Mozilla - Flash Player..
by Ted Gervais 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi everyone. I am knew to the list and have Fedora Core 5 newly installed. Most things are ok but I can't get the plugin for Macromedia Flash Player installed. I have tried all the methods available to me and while Fedora tells me that the Flash Player is installed, I don't see it when I click on Help>About Plugins. I have tried making sure the Flash Player files are in ~/.mozilla/plugins, and /usr/lib/mozilla, and any other place I think it might be looking for it. No luck. I have also tried to install it manually rather than using the automated process. And still no luck. But in every case, Fedora tells me that the Flash Player is installed. Now, how do I tell Mozilla that it is installed.?? -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada b4r1a7

FC6 and acroread - not working
by Florin Andrei 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

I got acroread-7.0.5-2.2.fc5.rf.nosrc.rpm from here: http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/packages/acroread/info.html I extracted the spec file. I downloaded the latest acroread tar.gz from Adobe, then adjusted the spec for the new version. Then rebuilt the acroread binary package. But when I launch acroread, I get a bunch of messages like this: expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error Any clue? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Re: bacula server
by RYAN M. vAN GINNEKEN 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Thanks again mostly u/we got it to work so far. However it is asking for a pile of dependancies. I know give a guy an inch and he will try to take a mile or km here in Canada. Is there a way to install without any gui stuff or mabey i am wrong mabey there is no gui stuff. Some of the dependancies for those dependancies are X11 related. I do not have any X11 stuff on this box it has no xwindows/gnome system and is minimum install Command prompt only. So before i go ahead and make a big mess of my faily clean fedora box do i really need all these or is there a way to turn some of them off. Thanks again and sorry about top post i think my clock was messed up not sure how it happend but should be fixed now. ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Howarth <paul(a)city-fan.org> To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list(a)redhat.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 1:10:02 AM GMT-0700 Subject: Re: bacula server On Mon, 2006-03-13 at 17:11 -0700, RYAN M. vAN GINNEKEN wrote: > First off thanks to all for your tremendous help without it i would have probably given up on bacula by now.

Rebuild computer with Intel DG965WH motherboard
by Gordon Charrick 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

I decided it's time to rebuild my computer and replace the aging Asus motherboard and Matrox graphics card and old ATA drives. I went to Fry's and picked out a motherboard that I hope will work with no problems. At least I have 15 days to return it. I also picked up a couple Maxtor SATA drives. I plan to use the onboard graphics and sound. Doing some googling, I'm not quite sure how compatible all the hardware will be with FC6. It looks like there might be a problem with DVD drive. Before I go through the time and hassle of taking apart my perfectly working computer to replace all the innards only to find I may have to get a different motherboard, I thought I'd ask the list for recommendations on current motherboards that can handle dual-core processors. Fry's has a dizzying array of motherboards in stock so picking one is no easy task when it comes to Linux.

Sendmail + clamav-milter...
by Drew Bertola 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Hi, I'm setting up sendmail on FC6 and am having trouble determining whether or not clamav-milter is properly configured and running. I guess there's been some changes since the last time I set this up (FC3). I'm not sure if I need to install and run clamav-server w/ clamav-server-sysv, but it wasn't pulled in as a dependency when I used yum to install clamav-milter. I've added the following line to my sendmail.mc and rebuilt sendmail.cf (followed by a sendmail restart): INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav', `S=local:/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl and the resulting sendmail.cf has: O InputMailFilters=clamav, milter-regex, greylist Xclamav, S=local:/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m When I send a mail out via "echo test | mail -v -s test drew(a)somewhere.com" I do receive the mail, but there's no header telling me it's gone through the milter. Anyone have an idea what's wrong? Also, has anyone played with milter-regex or the greylist milter? How effective are they? -- Drew

cron miss-fire
by Gene Heskett 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

Greetings; I didn't get any mail from amanda this morning, and no record in the log of the script having been run at 1:01 this morning. So I called up kcron, highlighted the command line, pulled down the edit menu and told it to run it. It appears to be running as expected although the shell where I launched kcron reported the root catcher exit of the first call in that script, a call to amcheck. This should not be, and should be bugzilla'd against kcron because it did not become amanda before launching the script, and parts of amanda that the script calls will fail because of that. Which bugzilla do I use? But the real question is: Why didn't it run it at the set time this morning? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
