Gallery2 installation, so where is it?
by Chris G 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

I just did:- yum install gallery2 It installed with no errors. The trouble is I now have no clue as to what to do next. What do I have to do next, I can't see any *obvious* pages to browse to get it going. Yes, I do have apache installed and running, and PHP, and mySql. -- Chris Green

Evolution Unmatched folder changed behaviour
by Simon Slater 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

G'day all, This is to get info to understand why Evolution suddenly changed its behaviour and fix an inconvenience. I am using F8 and Evolution 2.12.3. Normally the Unmatched Search Folder contains only the emails not included in other search folders. Yesterday I created a couple more search folders to catch some new sources of email, but now the Unmatched folder is filled with all emails in all of the On This Computer folders. The Unmatched properties cannot be changed. What did change and how do I correct it? -- Regards, Simon Slater Registered Linux User #463789. Be counted at: http://counter.li.org/

In FC7 if I recall there is caching for host names. You may wish to toggle it. Most internet servers are load balanced one way or another so one lookup goes to one machine and another to another. When you are 'done' the load balancing changes changes the responsible hardware on their end and may in fact cause your network connections to be ill directed as a result of your local cache. Try toggling nscd on/off to see if that is involved. Internet timeouts are much longer than we commonly expect. Also double check your name server list, if one name server in the list is down the timeout will be a min or so. It can take a bit of work but, you can use wireshark and or strace to watch your network traffic and program to see what is taking so long (what is different). -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what? d

Newbie with Login Issues
by Billy Gedney 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hey, I'm a bit of a newb, so please forgive me in advance. I'm running Fedora 8 on a home-brew P4 2.8 with 1 gig of ram. I am trying to run Adobe's Flash Media Server, and I was in the middle of streaming, we get like 15 minutes in it the connection from the encoder goes dead. The box it's self is alive and everything, I even have internet connectivity, but when I ping the box, it wont respond... So I reset it. On the way back up, the Sendmail service decides it's gonna not start. So I interactive boot, I dont need it, when it fully booted, I stopped it and a few other services. All is well now except that every like 10 minutes (we're normally streaming by this time) the box is unreachable and we restart and now login takes a serious 15 minutes... ANY IDEAS? I'm at a loss.. Thanks. Billy Gedney

How to create a button on my task bar to create an xterm?
by Steven W. Orr 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Under Core 4, I used to be able to pull somethingf up called kcontrol to set kde settings? I don't see that anymore. Is it gone? Also, I had a button I made for myself in the taskbar to create an xterm or run emacs. That ability to right-click on the task bar and create a button for a non-KDE app seems to now be gone. Is there a way to now do this? TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

Sound question. It works in run level 5 but not in 3.
by Steven W. Orr 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

F9: I boot the computer in run level 5 and log in and sound seems to work ok. I edit /etc/inittab and set the default run level to 3 and reboot. Then I log in on the text console and run startx. When X comes up I have no sound. Why do I not have sound in Run Level 3? How can I start sound in RL3? Why does sound seem to be related to X? I used to be able to play a sound file from the text console. TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

libdvdcss [quasi OT, quasi not OT]
by Petrus de Calguarium 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I read that rpmfusion, formerly livna, will no longer provide libdvdcss. I have always religiously installed it. Does this mean that it will no longer be possible to play DVDs in Fedora? I don't rip or copy DVDs, just watch them, so would I actually need libdvdcss? Do other programs now provide the functionality formerly provided by libdvdcss?

extra harddisk on RAID5
by roland 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hello, I have a server with 3 Harddisks 74Gb Raid5 I would like to install a 4th disk as a backup. I never did this before. What will happen when I plug this disk in, will it install itself? how will it appear? When one of the disks should fail in the future, can I pull out this 4th disk and plug it in as replacement for the failing disk? Or there some things I have to take care of? .... Thanks for your help -- Roland Brouwers C.A.T. bvba
