Slow Second Access to Internet
by Michael D. Berger 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

In my FC7, using Firefox, if for example, I access www.google.com, I get an essentially instantaneous response. If I then close the browser, reopen it, and again try to access google, there is a long delay, perhaps a minute before I get the response. (I note that my browser is set to delete all private on closing.) During this delay, the browser reports that it is looking up the URL. If I then wait a few minutes I can repeat the whole scenario. I suspect that something similar may be happening with my Pan news reader. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike.

Problem with .Xresources
by Steven W. Orr 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

When I log in, I want to get my .Xresources file loaded. That is not happening. Then I found a file called /etc/X11/Xresources I added the content of my .Xresources file to it *customization: -color *StringConversionWarnings: on But when I log in, it still does not get loaded. Anyone? TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

Under F9, kde, I don't see how to get to the controls to cause my taskbar to hide? Anyone know where the controls are? TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

kernel: martian messages
by Aldo Foot 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

I have an old server running on redhat 8.0 (I know... don't ask why). Recently I've seen lines like the following in /var/log/kernel : Oct 28 08:53:28 myhost kernel: martian source 255.255.255.255 from 127.0.0.1, on dev eth0 Oct 28 08:53:28 myhost kernel: ll header: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:<snipped.unknown.mac.address> It appears they are related to a network device and not to the linux machine per se. I did a web search, but I'm not satisfied with the vague responses for the question. what do they mean? ~af

installating from iso
by Jerry Ro 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hello, I thought I would try installing Fedora 9. Unfortunately, my laptop has no optical drive. I made a bootable USB stick, and like I said, I manage to boot from it, but the fonts are corrupt. Still, I can move to text mode (say ctrl-alt-f1) and use the Live version quite well. Since I have Vista, I thought I might have an easier way of installing Fedora without having a DVD. I thought of downloading the ISO and then looking for a boot loader or something of that sort that can "boot" from an .iso file (on a windows partition.) I know one can mount an .iso on linux to a directory, so I see no reason why a boot loader could not do something like that as well. However, I did not manage to find something to allow me to do that. Looking on google leads to all kind of "hints" that it is possible to somehow install fedora using the DVD .iso (on the Vista partition) or from the Live CD on a USB stick (without being connected to the internet), but nothing explicit. Anyone has experience with it? Also, I hope Fedora 9 installation will make it easy to create a new partition for it (or maybe I should first deal with using gparted to prepare a partition properly)... Thanks.

getting a minimum of KDE
by Beartooth 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

I run Gnome; KDE has always grated on me for some reason -- but I do use Konqueror and K3B often. Do I have to install KDE in toto under F9 to get those two? Or is there a way to tell yum to get them and only what they have to have? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

[Off-topic]cvs hangs due a dangling nfs.
by Marcelo Garcia 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi I use automount to share a partition via NFS so every machine can mount this share. For example, the machine "abc" has a partitio /abc and other machines mounts /users/abc. One the machines was removed (retired), but now a few clients can't use the CVS server. After the command "cvs history...", it simply sits and wait. I know that the problem is in accessing the retired machine because of the command "strace cvs history". Is there a way to find where is this reference to the old machine? Something like /etc/mtab? Part II (Really Off-topic) Is there a way to find which machines are client of a NFS share? So that before the shutdown I could umount in the clients? Thanks Marcelo
