Re: Is Fedora 6 fit in IBM A21 notebook?
by Chris Schumann 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Frank, Fedora Core 6 should be a great fit for that machine. I've put Fedora on a 600E, 600X, T60, and 570. You'll be fine. There are utilities to help make the Fn button do what it should, and for an onscreen display, among others.

I want to install Linux on it. Is Fedora 6 a goog choice for this? or other release of Linux? Thanks Frank

Re: cups-lpd: Unable to reserve port: Permission denied

It worked. (Actually my URI is lpd://ip-address/?reserve=none .) I believe that the underlying cause of this problem is a change to the selinux policy for cups. I believe that a recent change to the policy restricts the cups process to only being able to bind to port 631. (I can't explain the lack of any avc message when the cups-lpd process receives an error from bind() due to the policy.) I don't know whether to call this a bug in the selinux policy or a bug in cups-lpd. It seems that there are historical reasons why a *client* wants or even must bind to a privileged port number. Anyway, the work-around you suggest is probably better than modifying the cups selinux policy. Most folks never want to access a lpd server. -- Garry Williams +1 678 656-4579

Weird reboots (ntpd related?)
by Andre Costa 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi, I've been experiencing weird reboots leately -- not the "bad-RAM" kinda reboots, they seem to be software-related, because they seem to happen always at the same time. It usually happens right after boot, when ntpd is synchronizing. This is what appears on /var/log/messages: Apr 2 22:21:43 localhost ntpd[2300]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 Apr 2 22:21:43 localhost ntpd[2300]: kernel time sync enabled 0001 Apr 2 22:22:49 localhost ntpd[2300]: synchronized to 200.218.160.160, stratum 2 >>>>> here the system rebooted Apr 2 22:23:45 localhost syslogd 1.4.1: restart. Apr 2 22:23:45 localhost kernel: klogd 1.4.1, log source = /proc/kmsg started. After it reboots, it "survives" -- and even synchronizes again: Apr 2 22:27:09 localhost ntpd[2319]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 Apr 2 22:27:09 localhost ntpd[2319]: kernel time sync enabled 0001 Apr 2 22:29:16 localhost ntpd[2319]: synchronized to 193.6.222.47, stratum 2 Apr 2 22:43:16 localhost ntpd[2319]: time reset -2.639872 s Apr 2 22:47:17 localhost ntpd[2319]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 Apr 2 22:48:22 localhost ntpd[2319]: synchronized to 193.6.222.47, stratum 2 Anyone ever seen something similar? Is it really possible that time syncs could cause reboots? Any other log file I could check for additional clues? I am using latest kernel (2.6.20-1.2933.fc6) TIA Andre -- Andre Oliveira da Costa

Argh...Boot options...
by Michael Comperchio 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

I screwed up .. Again. I was attempting to make my machine connect to the network at my new job. Somehow I managed to turn on ipv6tables, now the boot hangs on attempting to load the ipv6tables. Where might I find that instruction and how do I delete it in rescue mode? Question 2, how can I change the GRUB boot order? I would like to have the 'other' operating system default (since that's where I earn my keep!) TIA Michael

boot up changes
by Weiner, Michael 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

List readers - Not sure this has been asked before, and I hope that I can describe my needs well enough to make sense so someone can answer, but I have a strange need. I have a laptop that when I am work, I connect to the network and upon bootup networking starts, grabs NIS information, etc, and all is well. However, when I am at home without a network, or anywhere else for that matter, it's a real pain because it takes forever to 'timeout' getting an IP and attempting to contact the NIS server. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best approach to fixing this problem? I thought about disabling the networking on boot up, and running something like network manager in X. Is there a way to do this using some bootup profiles and grub?

Thanks. > > Bob Goodwin Each of your zone files files should have a header that looks something like: $TTL 1D @ IN SOA ns3.davenjudy.org. root.fraud.davenjudy.org. ( 2006110301 ; serial 3600 ; refresh 900 ; retry 1209600 ; expire 43200 ; default_ttl ) ; TXT "Dave and Judy Miller's Network" ... The line "2006110301 ; serial" is the serial number. I'm using YYYYMMDDxx to generate my serial. The idea is that nameservers recognize the serial as a means of overriding previous information. When you bump the serial other nameservers recognize that you have provided new information. This particular example is from /var/named/chroot/var/named/davenjudy.org. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

view function of Bind 9
by Edward S.P. Leong 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Dear All, If all of service ( include Firewall ) in the same server, and the server use Private IP and connection with Router / HUB... Then use the NAT ( iptable function ) to transfer the IP Address ( Public <-> Private )... So, is there need to define an external area ( public ip network ) of DNS for other client ( Internet ) ? If need, is there an simple sample for reference ? Edward.

X with vesa at 1680x1050 possible?
by Patrick Lists 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi all, I have a laptop with an ATI X1300 chip and a 1680x1050 screen. Just installed FC6 on it and was messing with X. The radeon driver does not seem to work so I tried the vesa driver. But I can't seem to get it to use 1680x1050 using the vesa driver. It insists on 1400x1050. Does anyone know if the vesa driver can display 1680x1050? If so how would I make it do that? Thanks, Patrick
