Burning mac os x images using k3b
by Paul F. Johnson 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi, Is it possible to burn OS X images using k3b or are they like those weird things Nero produces which are effectively ISO images with some garbage on top? TTFN Paul -- "Bist Du meine Mutter?" - das leere kind

Orbital Laser still down?
by Bruno Wolff III 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

I was supposed to have 30 seconds of time tonight, but whenever I enter the coordinates and submit the request I get the message "Unable to schedule target". I am pretty sure the target should have been visible for at least another hour at the time I tried this. The coordinates I was using are: 38:53:55.133N 77:02:15.691W Should I bugzilla this?

best NFS client for Windows
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi all, Does anyone have suggestions for the "best" nfs client to allow Windows 2000 to access FC5 exports? MS SFU seems sort of flaky. Shaffer DiskAccess claims "Packet-Smart tunes NFS packet transmissions, dramatically reducing packet count" but I can't tell if that's a real useful advantage or marketing mumbo-jumbo. I just want something reliable, without noticeable lags, for both local and over-ADSL connections. I don't need fancy printer re-direction, etc. Suggestions/experiences appreciated! - Mike

windowmaker and gnome-panel
by wwp 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hello all, I'm pretty sure I've seen some informations about this here, but couldn't cast a correct search to bring any result when looking the archives. The point is: how to start gnome-panel properly when using Window Maker as the default windowmanager? I tried to start gnome-panel to get both gnome-panel, gconfd, nautilus and other gnome-things but it seems that dbus something is missing (and maybe more?). Any hint? Regards, -- wwp

mysqld processes using 405% of my RAM
by Phil 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi, I am using Fedora Core 3. Recently I have noticed that there are about 12 to 15 mysql processes running on my server. Is there a way to limit these processes? I have limited my httpd to 4 processes but I do not know how to limit the mysqld processes? All of the mysqld process are using 4.5% of the RAM so needless to say it is eating up alot of my ram... Any help would be great... Thanks.

Well that's part of the idea. I have a DOS program (accounting) which can only write out to LPT1, LPT2 or to a file. The latter is a pain. I used to use redirection to divert the output which the program thought it was sending to LPT2, to a networked printer. I'm looking for something to do the same thing under Fedora 5. The link you point to, does the first portion (redirection) but appears to be tied to piping the input into ghostscript's pdfwriter. What I am looking for is the Linux equivalent of the Windows program REDMON (which does the first bit.) Geoff
