RE: How to install rshd on Fedora 7.

khubd is at 100%-what is causing this?
by John Cox 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

I'm using FC7. Whenever I use my USB drive or pen drive, khubd starts as it should but won't stop. It stays at 100% on one of the CPUs. I can't kill it. I don't have this problem on my laptop. How can I track down what is hanging up khubd?

Firefox won't click
by Konstantin Svist 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

Hi, I'm having a problem with Firefox: every once in a while (intermittently) it doesn't follow the URL I click and/or doesn't go back/forward in history. It just "blinks a little bit as if it started the process of changing pages, but immediately stops and stays on the same page. If it's a normal URL, I click a few more times or reload the page and it starts working. Sometimes, though, it happens when I click on a button in web store(s) - the button becomes disabled (so as to not let me submit my order twice) but the request doesn't actually get to the store. I have some extensions that might be making this happen... here are the ones that I think are relevant: Adblock Plus Fasterfox Redirect Remover (set in "allow redirects" mode) Tab Mix Plus Does anyone else have this problem? Thx

M2N-MX sound problem
by Paul Erickson 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

For some reason, I can only get sound from one of the channels on my M2N-MX board. A google search indicates that others have encountered this, but the solutions seem to be for other distributions. Any thoughts? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- cheers, Paul - VA7NT - email: va7nt(a)telus.net "Those who hear not the music, think the dancers mad." “Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.” - Thomas Mann "That state which separates it's warriors from it's scholars will have it's thinking done by cowards and fighting done by fools" - Thucydides - The Pelopenisia "The Malice of the wicked is reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous." - Churchill

right permission set for /tmp
by Gianluca Cecchi 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

What should it be the correct set of permissions for /tmp on a fc7 system? Does this change if /tmp is itself a mounted filesytem or not? I just verified that on my fc7 I have now $ ll -d /tmp drwxr-xr-x 46 1000 users 36864 2007-07-03 23:10 /tmp where user id 1000 is not assigned to any user..... and so it seems only root can wrtite to it.... I recently had a power failure and I needed to fsck my fs. I think that the problem I posted at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-July/msg00433.html could be related with these wrong settings.... Thanks

Re: gdmgreeter refuses to start in fc7

Karl It is not so. See below. We work starting in /tmp. Try yourself. [root@localhost tmp]# cd /tmp [root@localhost tmp]# mkdir a [root@localhost tmp]# chmod 755 a [root@localhost tmp]# ll -d a drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-07-04 00:34 a [root@localhost tmp]# cd a [root@localhost a]# tar jcvf ../a.tar.bz2 ./ ./ [root@localhost a]# tar jtvf ../a.tar.bz2 drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-07-04 00:34:27 ./ (more files following if a contained any files/directories but for the example it is the directory itself the problem) [root@localhost a]# cd .. [root@localhost tmp]# mkdir b [root@localhost tmp]# chmod 777 b [root@localhost tmp]# ll -d b drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 2007-07-04 00:35 b [root@localhost tmp]# cd b [root@localhost b]# tar jxvf /tmp/a.tar.bz2 ./ [root@localhost b]# ll -d . drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-07-04 00:34 . So if you untar, AS ROOT, into a directory an archive that contains the root directory itself, you overwrite the permissions of the dir. You (I actually ;-) - should not use root - verify archive before extracting - create archive without the leading ./ dir itself

gdmgreeter refuses to start in fc7
by Gianluca Cecchi 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

After I convinced my wife to use Linux and three days of satisfied use of fc7, today it seems the gdm greeter refuses to start... ;-( I'm not at the PC but I connected remotely. She says that at the screen she gets "the greeter refused to start, retry...". If she presses ok the same happens. Already tried to restart but the same... In messages I have: Jul 3 14:40:34 localhost gdmgreeter[3129]: The accessibility registry was not found.

I updated several not apparently related packages: In yum.log I have: Jul 02 23:31:52 Updated: xvidcore.x86_64 1.1.3-1.lvn7 Jul 02 23:31:53 Updated: livna-config-display.noarch 0.0.14a-1.lvn7 Jul 02 23:31:53 Updated: k3b-extras-nonfree.x86_64 1.0.2-1.lvn7 then I manually installed these: Jul 03 00:54:33 Installed: xmlrpc-c.x86_64 1.06.11-2.fc7 Jul 03 00:54:36 Installed: cmake.x86_64 2.4.6-3.fc7 Strange to say, yesterday I was proposed to upgrade gnome-menus to 2.19.4but I deselected it It seems strange as this should be a devel package not in mainstream fc7, or not? After the problem today I tried to upgrade it Jul 03 14:37:49 Updated: gnome-menus.x86_64 2.19.4-1.fc7 But nothing changes... In its changelog I can misteriously see: * Sun Jun 17 2007 Colin Walters <walters(a)redhat.com> - 2.19.4-1 - Update to 2.19.4 * Tue May 29 2007 Matthias Clasen <mclasen(a)redhat.com> - 2.18.2-1 - Update to 2.18.2 ???

Can anyone point to a solution? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Well it is a what?
by Karl Larsen 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

I was curious to know what NetworkManager really is. So went hunting and found: NM-TOOL(1) NM-TOOL(1) nm-tool - utility to report NetworkManager state SYNOPSIS nm-tool DESCRIPTION The nm-tool utility provides information about NetworkManager, device, and wireless networks. SEE ALSO NetworkManager(1), NetworkManagerDispatcher(1) So then the real one: NETWORKMANAGER(1) NETWORKMANAGER(1) NAME NetworkManager - network management daemon SYNOPSIS NetworkManager [--no-daemon] [--enable-test-devices] DESCRIPTION The NetworkManager daemon attempts to keep an active network connection available at all times. The point of NetworkManager is to make net- working configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible. If using DHCP, NetworkManager is intended to replace default routes, obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server, and change nameservers whenever it sees fit, with the aim of making networking Just Work. OPTIONS The following options are supported: --no-daemon Do not daemonize. This is useful for debugging. --enable-test-devices : This is NetManagerDispacher NETWORKMANAGERDISPATCHER(1) NETWORKMANAGERDISPATCHER(1) NAME NetworkManagerDispatcher - daemon that runs commands in response to off/online SYNOPSIS NetworkManagerDispatcher [--no-daemon] DESCRIPTION The NetworkManagerDispatcher daemon runs commands in the /etc/Network- Manager/dispatcher.d directory in response to interfaces coming up and down. The scripts are run alphabetically. The first parameter is the network interface name. The second parameter is up if the interface is now up and down if the interface is now down. OPTIONS The following options are supported: --no-daemon Do not daemonize. This is useful for debugging. FILES /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d SEE ALSO NetworkManager(1), nm-tool(1) NETWORKMANAGERDISPATCHER(1) (END) So NetManager is a demon and runs in the kernel and tries to keep the Internet coming always and works outside the normal old methods. Now the NetManagerDispatcher is another mouth-full that is also a demon and you can read what it is doing by monitoring messages in the /etc/NetworkManager/dispature.d/ directory. I jus looked and My F7 has the NetworkManager/ but no dispature.d directory. Could be you need to run the demons awhile to get it. In summary all this is now terminal activity so I think all this stuff is VERY Beta! Karl

Network Install Glitch (F7)
by Tim Perry 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

There appears to be a glitch in anaconda when I do a network install. It goes something like this, I enter the server name and directory name as follows server: fedora.mirror.iweb.ca directory: releases/7/Fedora/i386/os and it searches for the files in this location: ftp://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca//releases/7/Fedora/i386/os I do back and see this: server: fedora.mirror.iweb.ca directory: /releases/7/Fedora/i386/os and no matter how many times I remove the slash at the beginning of the directory it returns when I move to the next screen. So is anyone else having this problem or is it just me...and if it is: How do I fix it? Please help! - Tim "TheBlackWidower"
