Can I mount my motorola razr as a USB disk?
by Steven W. Orr
It would make a difference in my decision to buy the phone if I can access
my memory card on the phone as a USB device.
Anyone?

Unfortunately I don't have any .font directory in this user's home directory....

cd-rom eject automatically, why?
by Qiang
Computer: IBM Thinkpad T43
OS: Fedora 7
Kernel: kernel-2.6.22.1-41.fc7
Environment: Gnome
Recently, the CD-ROM of my computer frequently ejects automatically,
sometimes 7 times one minute.
These phenomenon took place before, but not so often.
Can anybody give me some advice?
By the way, eject-2.1.5-5 was installed.
Thanks.

Where is KCRON?
by steve
I've been trying to find a GUI interface for cron on FC^with KDE. Googling
around on that I found a reference to KCRON which I guess is supposed to be
installed along with KDE. But I can't find it anywhere on my KDE menus, and
it's not listed on the the "install/remove programs" tool. On the other
hand, when I tried yum install kcron, it downloaded the files then said
"nothing to do" which I think means it's installed already. Is it, and if
so does anyone know where I can find it? If not, how can I get it to
install?
Also, does anyone have recommendations for a task scheduler with a GUI and a
little more functionality than cron, like showing when something is running,
when is the next scheduled run, the ability to suspend scheduled jobs, etc?
There are a number of such things for windoze. I found this
http://www.sos-berlin.com/modules/cjaycontent/index.php?id=62
<http://www.sos-berlin.com/modules/cjaycontent/index.php?id=62&page=osource_
scheduler_introduction_en.htm> &page=osource_scheduler_introduction_en.htm
but it is a little too feature rich. I tried it anyway and couldn't get it
to play nice with mysql (which it requires).
Thanks,
Steve

amd (am-utils) automounter not working with 2.6.22.1-33.fc7
by Norman Gaywood
We have been running the am-utils automounter (amd) for many years. With
an update to 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 it has stopped working.
See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250716
It's easy to reproduce this. I've done the on many types of systems, i686
and x86_64. Steps are:
1. yum install am-utils
2. edit /etc/amd.conf and add these lines on the end to create a 2nd
mount point:
[ /net2 ]
map_name = amd.net
map_type = file
3. Start the automounter:
service amd start
4. Observe the output of amq:
# amq
/ root "root"
/net error . //nil//
/net2 toplvl /etc/amd.net /net2
It should look like:
# amq
/ root "root"
/net toplvl /etc/amd.net /net
/net2 toplvl /etc/amd.net2 /net2

RFE: how to file
by Globe Trotter
I am thinking of filing an RFE for a Fedora with a lightweight desktop
environment. How does one do this? Bugzilla asks for a specific component so
this seems a little out of place there.
Many thanks,
Trotter

VMware install problem.
by Erik P. Olsen
I have been foolish enough to upgrade my VMware server release (on FC5) and now
it won't launch. Seeing the error messages produced I didn't really expect it to
launch. Please take a look at the attached error message file. It looks like the
install process doesn't like c++. Is that because I need to upgrade the kernel?
I am currently on 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 and the VMware I am trying to install is
VMware-server-1.0.3-44356 and any-any 113.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi Craig,
I don't know why I didn't think about services. I didn't quite debug
it the way you suggest. I went through system-config-services to see
what was running but is not switched on by default. Turns out that
'nmb' was off by default, but was now running. I don't really know what
this is, but "Starts and stops the Samba smbd and nmbd daemons used to
provide SMB network services." sounds likely to be relevant.
I'll reboot as soon as I get a quiet moment..
Thank you,
Bill

Trying to share a printer with XP
by Gordon Charrick
I've got an old Laserjet 6P. It prints fine in Fedora 6. I'm trying to
get my windows machine to use it with no luck. Here's the section of
smb.conf that uses it.
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printer = lj6p
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
browseable = no
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
I can add the printer in windows just fine, but when I bring up the
printer list it says "access denied" and I can't send anything to the
printer. I get no messages at all in the logs and it's driving me crazy.
Do I also need to do something with cups configuration? I have iptables
turned off so it's not a firewall issue.
