Can't Gedit anymore
by George Hare
Hi All,
I used to su gedit all the time to make any changes to files that required
me to be root. I used to get this warning also
(gedit:3880): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
but it would still work. Now it stopped working. Gedit just freezes. I have
done many things since last use, so I would not have a clue how to fix this.
I am using Fedora6 64bit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
(exept for , "use vi").
Many Thanks,
George Hare

Evolution user settings directory
by Dan Track
Hi
I'm getting this annoying problem with my settings, so I'd like to
trash all my evolution settings. Now I naturally assumed the settings
are in ~/.evolution but it miraculously keeps returning. Could
somebody tell me where it keeps the settings in gnome for me to trash.
I'm running FC 6.
Thanks

Port 8000
by Eli Barzilay
I noticed that something is listening on port 8000, but I can't find
out what. All I've seen is that netcat-ting to it almost always
closes the connection after reading 12 bytes. Does anybody know
what's listening on that port? Is there a way to find out? (I tried
netstat and lsof, no useful information there.)

Installing to and booting from external USB hard drive
by linux
I have a Maxtor One Touch III, external USB, drive which I wish to use
as my sole hard drive on my Fedora Core 6 machine. Can I simply remove
all my hard drives from the machine, plug in the Maxtor One Touch then
proceed with installation as usual to achieve this?

rsync problem on FC5
by Mark Haney
I've got a system I upgraded FC2 => FC5 recently and I'm seeing some
strange problems. On this box I have /etc symlinked to /bak/etc.bak so I
can backup just one directory (/bak) to my backup server using rsnapshot.
My problem is, in order to backup /etc from the symlink I need to use
the --copy-dirlinks option in rsync. It works fine on other FC5 boxes,
but not this one, here is the error I get:
> /usr/bin/rsync -av --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \
> --copy-dirlinks --stats --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh \
> rsnapshot@noc6.hpcc.ercbroadband.org:/bak \
> /archive/.testsnapshots/hourly.0/noc6/
> rsync: on remote machine: -vlkogDtprR: unknown option
> rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1084)
> rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
> rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463) [receiver=2.6.8]
yet when I run this _without_ the copy-dirlinks parameter, it doesn't
give me an error (although it doesn't backup the /etc directory either.
I use rsnapshot to backup several ohter FC5 boxes and don't see this
error. Any thoughts what I might need to look at?

Hash-style
by Luca
Hi all!
Just a question: I've downloaded latest cvs versions of binutils, gcc
and glibc.
Fedora by default uses "--hash-style=gnu" so I would like to know how to
compile these packages from sources in this way.
Before configuring them, I thought of something like:
"export {gcc,cc,c++,g++}={binary} -Wl,--hash-style=gnu,--enable-new-dtags"
and
"export ld="ld --hash-style=gnu --enable-new-dtags".
However, when passing "make install" to gcc it broke with:
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/fixincludes'
make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gcc'
gcc -c -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros
-Wno-overlength-strings -Wold-style-definition
-Wmissing-format-attribute -Werror -fno-common -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.
-I../../gcc/gcc -I../../gcc/gcc/. -I../../gcc/gcc/../include
-I../../gcc/gcc/../libcpp/include -I../../gcc/gcc/../libdecnumber
-I../libdecnumber ../../gcc/gcc/tree-ssanames.c -o tree-ssanames.o
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-overlength-strings"
make[2]: *** [tree-ssanames.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gcc'
make[1]: *** [install-gcc] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build'
make: *** [install] Error 2
Doing a ./cc1 --help | grep overlength in the build-dir of gcc ouputs:
-Woverlength-strings Warn if a string is longer than the maximum
-Wold-style-definition, -Woverlength-strings, -Wstrict-prototypes,
-Wmissing-include-dirs, -Wmultichar, -Wnormalized=, -Woverlength-strings,
-Wold-style-definition, -Woverlength-strings, -Woverride-init,
-Wparentheses,
-Woverlength-strings, -Woverloaded-virtual, -Wparentheses,
-Wpmf-conversions,
and "-Wno-overlength-strings" is not listed.
gcc version I'm trying to compile is:
"GNU C version 4.3.0 20061128 (experimental) (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
compiled by GNU C version 4.3.0 20061128 (experimental).
GCC heuristics: --param gcc-min-expand=30 --param gcc-min-heapsize=4096".
GCC version on host system is GCC version 4.1.1.
Question: is it safe to delete -Wno-overlength-strings from the sources
or what?
Is it correct the way I thought about compiling with the --hash-style
option or I should pass it in another way?
Thanks in advance,
Luca
