dev file goes missing after reboot
by Philip Walden
I have just started using jpilot to sync my Palm-top.
Jpilot expects to have /dev/pilot links to the device file connecting
the palmtop. In this case, I do a
ln /dev/ttyS0 /dev/pilot
chmod o+rw /dev/pilot
This work great. However, when I restart the computer the next day, the
link is gone. I have to recreate it.
This is the first I have noticed this behavior. Any idea as to why this
happens?

ntpd filling log
by Ian Malone
Hi,
My dmesg and /var/log/messages are full of ntpd complaining,
it seems to be trying to get a IPv6 address:
Aug 28 10:20:11 atlas ntpd[3443]: bind() fd 21, family 10, port 123,
scope 4, addr fe80::20e:2eff:fe51:c525, in6_is_addr_multicast=
0 flags=0x11 fails: Cannot assign requested address
Aug 28 10:20:11 atlas ntpd[3443]: unable to create socket on ra0 (22)
for fe80::20e:2eff:fe51:c525#123
Aug 28 10:20:11 atlas ntpd[3443]: failed to initialize interface for
address fe80::20e:2eff:fe51:c525
Can anyone suggest why this might be happening all
of a sudden? (All I can think of is I changed from the
old rt2500 driver for my wireless card to the rt2x00
driver in current kernels.)
It does seem to be talking to IPv4 okay, since
there's one mention of:
Aug 28 10:16:45 atlas ntpd[3443]: synchronized to 198.144.194.12, stratum 2
Aug 28 10:18:50 atlas ntpd[3443]: synchronized to 198.38.16.2, stratum 2
Aug 28 10:18:55 atlas ntpd[3443]: synchronized to 195.179.15.117, stratum 3
System is 2.6.22.2-42.fc6

Linux stops working
by Karl Larsen
I'm back on my old computer because of problems with the new one.
They were these:
1. I had the same 500kb RAM and hard drive from this computer in the new
one.
2. After a couple of problems grub started working just exactly as before.
3. But this F7 would start to load and then go into a kernel panic.
4. I tried FC6 and it was better. It loaded clear up but then I had no
"head" on my mouse. I could not see how to do anything.
5. I made a new F7 and it boots up but just like FC6 the mouse was
invisable :-)
I am just wiped out today. No ideas here except I may have had the
mouse and keyboard plugged in wrong. They are both PS2 connectors.
Any help will be much appreciated!

CUPS problem
by Per Anton Rønning
After a long period of smooth sailing I suddenly encountered a CUPS problem.
Why I have got it is uncertain, maybe as a result of a yum upgrade run.
I had to reinstall FC 5 due to some disk trouble (possibly because a
blown fuse cut the electricity supply to my desk)
so I imagined that I would be interested in upgraded programs since I
burned the FC5 distro.
I remove and reinstall the printer (which btw. is online, lights are up
:-) ) and when sending a testpage to the printer i get the following
message:
"There was a problem sending CUPS test page to laser1 queue (my chosen
printer name)
/usr/bin/lpr connection refused
The following daemons are running:
cupsd
cups-config-daemon
I would be grateful to receive some help on this one.

Routing/Iptables/Forwarding = i have no idea
by Roger Grosswiler
Hey togehter,
until the update to Kernel 2.6.22.x i had a well working, forwarding, proxying and
natting infrastructure.
Since this Kernel it is not working no longer, as internal traffice outside squid gets
no longer forwarded.
i have forwarding-rules for a transparent-proxy, that work now again. Internal and
external. This must be because of squid forwarding the requests.
e-mail is no longer working, as the request doesn't get forwarded to the mailserver. it
stops somewhere on the firewall (3 nics, all use SNAT-Rules to mask their IP-Adresses).
Traceroute also stopps on the firewall, nothing goes outside. The forward-bit is set in
ip4_forward.
Did they change something in iptables?
Please help...
Thanks in advance

memory fragmentation?
by charles f. zeitler
after a few days of moderately heavy use,
( running 2 or 3 gui-based apps simoltaneously,
typically konqueror, thoggen or sound juicer
& mebbe a third ) things tend to get _real_
slow (apps more than system functions) as my
swap usage starts climbing...
logging out/in alleviates this greatly, but
i usually wind up re-booting.
i should think 1 gb of ram was sufficient..
perhaps system tweak somewhere would help?

Is there a way around this?

FC7 and beryl on Dell Optiplex 320
by Craig White
Fedora 7 running X86_64 - perhaps I am reaching too high here.
Dell Optiplex with integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (RC410)
When I start beryl manager, I lose window title bars and KDE panel.
So I installed fglrx-x11 and kmod-fglrx from livna which I can't get to
launch at all. So I switched back to open source 'radeon' driver.
Is this possible (Google isn't giving me much in terms of solutions)
For the record...
