command to create Shell - Konsole
by Michael D. Berger
Under KDE on FC4, is there a shell command that will
create a Shell - Konsole just as if I clicked:
<Red Hat> -> System Tools -> Terminal ?
Thanks,
Mike.

Here we go again -- printer not working ??
by Bill Case
Hi;
I have a HP psc 1315 attached to my FC6. I have all upgrades as of this
morning.
I tried to print a simple *.txt document through gedit and OOo Writer
with no response. The job is in the queue; gedit job shows document as
'unknown'; the OOo job shows the proper document name but does not
process. Printer is set to go; no flashing warning lights; paper
inserted; relatively new ink cartridges. Printed fine a couple of days
ago. Printer works in WindowsXP.
Command line printing (~]$ lp
'/home/bill/Desktop/Docs/Stuff/BugInstall') fails to print as well.
Message: request id is psc_1310_series_-143 (1 file(s)).
What now ??

Grrr.
You are right. Didn't think about the parentesis.
Sorry for the noise.

Setting up multiple simultaneous sessions
by Simon Slater
Now GDM is configured properly (thanks again Mike), I would like to set
up this FC6 box to allow 5 users (the kids) to login concurrently as
different sessions and switch to their session for as long or, more to
the point, as little as they need.
Two possibilities that I have considered is using the Lock Screen and
Switch user in KDE, so that they can select their session from the gui
menu. Alternately, can fixed login session be assigned to one of the
F1-F5 keys for each user and one other for me to access as a console if
required, rather than the default F7, with F1-F6 as consoles? If so how
can this be done?
Also, can a new session be started from within Gnome as it can from
within KDE?
All your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Simon Slater

ssh & sftp terminal timeout
by Tony Crouch
Hi All,
I noticed of late my ssh & sftp connections have been timing out very
quickly. If I leave my machine (or do not use the ssh connection) for
even 10 minutes the connection will timeout and I will have to close the
window and re-connect.
I am unsure whether the problem exists with my local machine or my
university's servers (the machines to which I am remotely logging onto).
I have the following modules installed (and versions) on my machine:
openssh-askpass-4.3p2-19.fc6
openssh-clients-4.3p2-19.fc6
openssh-server-4.3p2-19.fc6
openssh-4.3p2-19.fc6
While my university is running the following versions:
fuse-sshfs-1.7-1.fc4
openssh-server-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-askpass-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-askpass-gnome-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-clients-4.2p1-fc4.10
Was wondering if anyone could possibly shed some light on this or provide some sort of explanation?
Thanks for your assistance.
Cheers,
Tony Crouch

...Except that the reports are sent to root, and root's mail often goes
unread.
Peter, check root's mail -- if the logwatch reports are there, you can
edit /etc/aliases, find the line that says who should get root's mail
(the last line in the file), uncomment it, and change it to your user
ID:
# Person who should get root's mail
root: put-your-user-ID-here
Then run newaliases and you should start getting logwatch reports.

In the logs I found exactly the same results since one month ago.
Does that mean I have been hacked and all those binaries are replaced?
The secure logs are full with unaccepted ssh connections. The only
successful connections for this period are from a known IP, but
unfortunately I have no older logs.
Thanks for any clues!

The dash after openssh in openssh-4.2p1-fc4.10 is the delimiter between
the package name and the version. The dash after openssh in any of the
others (e.g., openssh-askpass-4.3p2-19.fc6) is part of the package
name. The wild card works on package names; not versions.

jigdo don't?
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
I just installed jigdo, only to find its called jigsaw in the kmenu, thinking
it was something like a torrent manager, but apparently not.
But the menu's require a true URL to the image, and if I point it in the upper
cli line, to the nearly 166KB jigdo file I downloaded from the fedoraunity
site, called FC-20070401-6-i386.jigdo, it claims it doesn't know how to
handle that file format yet.
So, since this 'jigdo' thing will be stillborn for obvious reasons, where can
I find the .torrent for that respin? I thought I saw a link to it once, but
the availability of fedoraunity.org seems to come and go, and I've not
managed to find the page with that link on it again.
Ok, I got it to start by manually entering the URL to the exact same file I
had already downloaded. That's a right cast iron pita when it can't be
copied & pasted from firefox...
So either I need instructions on how to setup FF to start jigdo with that url
as an argument, or jigdo needs fixed. Starting a download should not take 50
screen changes and 30 minutes to get it going. Needless to say, I voted for
future releases in torrent because I can do this in azureus in just a minute
or so, plus time to carve a hole in my firewall.
And now the transfer has been interrupted after about 70 of the 255 megs just
for the template, and now it wants to know where I live but refuses to take a
USA entry. And under advanced it apparently needs a comma separated list of
url's. How the hell should I know where in a 100 million servers where this
stuff is? Rhetorical question obviously.
Screw it, send jigdo back to finishing school, and where can I get
the .torrent file?
Thanks.

Cheers, Gene
