Mr. Softy's Novell Strategy [Fool.com] March 30, 2007
by Jim 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I to totally agree on this synopsis, that the motivation of Microsoft was it has a lot of Unix in Vista that it paid SCO rights to. And before it released Vista it had to be sure that their bases had to be covered. And it's looking more like Novell is the kid on the block that owns Unix.

How to search in this mailing list?
by Yan Li 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Hi, I'm sorry, but I just can't figure out how to search in the mailing lists hosted by Red Hat. I must missed some very simple link? -- Sincerely yours, Li, Yan

RFC about apparent DoS attack on V4L list the other night
by Nigel Henry 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Anyone here, also on the v4l list. The other night it appeared it was under attack for some time, then everything stopped. No more mail. A couple of emails popped into the v4l box the next day, but since then absoulutely nothing. I posted a request to the list asking for info, but that didn't turn up in my v4l box. I also checked my settings on the list to see if somehow the suspend mail option had been set, but that's ok. A bit of a mystery, as this happened a few days ago, and normally there is a reasonable amount of traffic on the list. Sorry that this is totally OT for the Fedora list. Nigel.

FC4 Samba only shares some files, not others...
by Gareth Howlett 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I can't share /home on FC4, smbd doesn't think it exists! (I blanked-out workgroup below - it is actually set but we'll leave that out of it 'cause this isn't a domain/workgroup problem and server string isn't worth worrying about) Here's the config... [root@whistler samba]# cat smb.conf [global] workgroup = ******* security = share log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No server string = encrypt passwords = no guest ok = yes [Junk] comment = Whistler Build Directory path = /home ; writeable = no guest ok = yes browseable = yes Here's the log file error... [root@whistler samba]# tail -2 samba.log [2007/03/29 09:23:51, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(615) '/home' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [Junk] As you can see, /home does exist. [root@whistler samba]# ls / bin boot dev etc home lib lost+found media misc mnt net opt proc root sbin selinux srv sys tmp usr var The really weird thing is if I share-up "/", it works but I see about 1/2 the stuff that is actually in / (eg, I see /dev but not /home or /bin). This is very puzzling to me - usually samba is binary; it works or it doesn't... not working with some directories and not others... Anyone have any ideas? - Gareth

Kernel 2933 suspend crashes laptop
by Patrick Lists 30 Mar '07

Hi, Laptop Acer TM6455 with latest bios, FC6 with latest updates, running kernel 2.6.20-1.2933. X uses the vesa driver. Filed as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234622 When I suspend the laptop from the Gnome desktop it crashes the laptop. Here is the output from /var/log/messages. Most interesting message I could find is: kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:67!

Desktop behavior in fc5->fc6 upgrade
by Phillip 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

After upgrading from core 5 to core 6 (32-bit), every time I log in, my gnome desktop is black until I open System->Preferences->Desktop Background and I run the mouse over the application gui. Changing settings has the same result. 2. The gnome desktop contains no icons and a right click does not bring up any options. 3. Switching to kde makes the wallpaper look correct; right clicks bring up options. However, seleting a konsole window produces a window where the mouse works on the menu bar but no text can be entered into the window from the keyboard. I have checked the local file permissions affecting kde and gnome, but see nothing amiss. Any suggestion about what rpms need to be (re)installed or about what settings have gone awry?

why does the system often get restarted automaticlly?
by yz wang 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Hardware of my computer: Pentium 4 cpu 3.20GHz, RAM 2.00GB, Monitor NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600, two 80GB harddisks, one with windows and one with fc6. 3D desktop is off. It often crashes or restarts. The latest restarting occurs while only 3 web browsers are open. How can I solve this problem? Thanks!

I initially had some instabilities on two different systems running FC6: On my desktop (older dual Athlon 2400+), I had to remove the 3D xscreensavers. The system would randomly crash X (could still ssh in but keyboard and mouse went with X). The system has been stable ever since. My laptop dies with a kernel panic within 24 hours of bringing up the wireless interface which uses ndiswrapper. The system is stable otherwise. Don't know if either of these fit your situation. It sounds like you still have Windoze on your system. Is it stable running Windoze? That would tend to rule out a hardware failure as other have suggested although you could have some hardware that doesn't play well with Linux. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

Winsock proxy with access control
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Hi, people Is there a linux/unix solution to implement Internet access control based on user accounts from an LDAP directory? I know squid will do that for web access, but I'm interested in a solution that allows me to control internet access by protocol and by user, not just for HTTP. For example, I must be able to set it up so that members of group A can access MSN, HTTP and POP3, while users C and D can access SMTP, POP3 and FTP and members of group X can access HTTP and some internal applications which use ports 5021, 7045 and 8015. In other words, something like what MS ISA Server does for Windows clients. Is there a way to implement this for linux clients? Thanks, Marcelo

Printer no longer working
by Craig Goodyear 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Since the FC6 updates that were rolled out on 3/27/07, I am no longer able to print. If I put selinux in permissive mode, I am able to print without any problems. This update included selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted. Is anyone else seeing this problem? Craig
