Keyboardmap ?
by linuxmaillists＠charter.net 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

I saved this from a post that I cannot find now. Nor do I know the original subject. <s/quote> The X server does keyboard mapping of keys and you can use X to map keys. If you have an international keyboard set up then X ships with compose functionality which for the subset of symbols it does is usually easier to learn. Basically hit alt (left alt to US folks) and shift together, then let go of both, now type two keys in sequence that compose the resulting symbol. The compose pairs are designed to be logical thus ss = ß a' = á e^ = ê e= = € c, = ç and so on <e/quote> Where is the file that this would be done in so this would work? -- If the word following begins with a vowel, the word you want is... to read the rest of this, go here http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/a.html

can't start X11 consolehelper apps on remote SSH server
by Adam Monsen 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

I'm SSH'ing into a remote server. X11 Forwarding appears to be working fine, as does sudo. For instance: [box_a]$ ssh -X box_b Last login: Sun Apr 22 11:22:39 2007 from box_a [box_b]$ sudo xev And the X11 event tester pops up right away, running as root. However, when I try to run virt-manager or system-config-lvm, I get an error: [box_b]$ sudo virt-manager X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. The application 'virt-manager.py ' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application. I'm thinking that an RPM install failed or I don't have an RPM I need. Any guesses which one it might be? Is this perhaps a consolehelper problem? Additional Information: * box_b is a fairly minimal Fedora Core 6 install with packages installed only as they were required. I wouldn't be surprised if 'yum groupinstall "X Windows System"' would make this work, but why should I have to install the whole kitchen sink? * box_b does have the 'xorg-x11-xauth' package installed. * I can ssh from box_a to box_c and "sudo virt-manager" works fine, where box_c is a more "kitchen-sink" install of Fedora Core 6 (includes a GNOME desktop and lots of packages) * I've inspected and recreated the sudoers file on box_b, only uncommenting the line that allows people in group wheel to run all commands without a password * "rpm -aV" returns tons of prelink errors, so it's tough to see what of the OS has been changed on disk Other Possibly Helpful Background Information: How to use consolehelper: http://www.linuxnovice.org/main_tips.php3?VIEW=VIEW&t_id=127 consolehelper & sudo 1: http://lists.linuxcoding.com/rhl/2004/msg03759.html consolehelper & sudo 2: http://lists.linuxcoding.com/rhl/2004/msg03576.html -- Adam Monsen

BIND Woes
by mike 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

OK, I am trying to set up a second server which is going to have Master Zones and Slave Zones so must be a full nameserver not a caching-nameserver. I did a complete virgin install of FC 6 and then did a yum install bind* I then went into /etc looking for named.conf, all I could find was a caching-nameserver.conf. The caching-nameserver.conf contained a comment line that said to use system-config-bind to create a named.conf. A quick whatis system-config shows that there is no system-config-bind command in FC 6. Being a rookie enough to have never seen a full nameserver named.conf I have no idea how to proceed from here. Help!!! Mike Dwiggins _________________________ This email was transferred using an Office free edition of AXIGEN Mail Server.

I *think* that I can use a custom kernel, they're using VZ, we're running CentOS, & I set up firewall + apf without much trouble. Their support has been pretty decent thus far (going on two years with them). Chris
