firefox bookmarks and highlighting messed up

by Mick M.

Hi; as a normal user FireFox is being weird. My bookmarks are setup so that my folders are at the top. I import my bookmarks as a file. Works great. I exit and restart FF, my bookmark folders are gone. They are actually very very skinny and not labeled. If I put a "New Seperator" above the "personal toolbar folder", they come back. Then the cycle repeats. Also when I visit a page the links are not colored after I visit them. I have checked preferences->-content-colors and nothing makes a difference. [mick@localhost ~]$ su - Password: [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa firefox* firefox-devel-2.0.0.13 -1.fc8 firefox-2.0.0.13-1.fc8 [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.24.3-50.fc8 #1 SMP Thu Mar 20 14:47:10 EDT 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux [root@localhost ~]# Any help appreciated.

FireFox: How to set font-size for F/F menu?

by Dan Thurman

I have looked into Edit/Preference and for the life of me, I am unable to determine why my menu-fonts are so tiny, like a size 6 or something. I cannot even read it. Seems that my Firefox is not taking the system font size although the system-colors are fine. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct this? Thanks!

Keeping time synchronized

by Konstantin Svist

Hi all, Is there a good ["Fedora"] way to keep time synchronized on a laptop? I've checked around and ntpd seems to be a bad idea because it counts CPU cycles - but modern CPUs switch frequencies all the time to save power. Some tutorials say this causes NTP to not work properly.

shared printers in F8 - problem?

by mike cloaked

Does anyone know if there is currently a problem with CUPS printer sharing? A month or so back everything was working fine with shared usb printers on my lan. Today one of the users on a machine on the lan could not see the printer shared from another machine in the network and I have not made any changes apart from F8 updates in the last month. Any help/workarounds appreciated.

[OT] HELP!!! mail attack

by Rodolfo Alcazar Portillo

Hello. Since monday, our mailserver (FC5), behind a firewall, is suffering a heavy DoS mail attack. We have a user account, amanda.davila(a)padep.org.bo and it is receiving millions of emails from very different sites of the planet. Since now, my only action was deleting the account from /etc/password, and the traffic permits working. We suspect a virus attack... What else can we do? We would appreciate any help with this issue.

How to get Wireless work with Radius server and WPA-TKIP

by Arch Willingham

This is one issue with Linux I have never had any luck in tackling on my own. We use a Microsoft IAS radius server to authenticate our wireless clients before they can connect via WPA-TKIP (EAP type is protected EAP (PEAP) and then EAP-MSCHAP). To complicate it further, before the windows clients connect, they have to import a certificate that we supply. All of my Linux clients are using FC8 with Ndiswrapper. Can anyone shed any light on where to start? Thanks! Arch

New to x86_64; why so many i386 packages?

by Steve Snyder

I just installed the x86_64 build of Fedora 8. This is my first ever experience with x86_64 Linux as I haven't had the hardware before now. I'm amazed at the number of duplicate packages installed. My total of 2096 packages installed includes 417 i386 and 2 i686 packages, all of which duplicate an existing x86_64 packages. I understand that some applications don't play nicely when built for 64-bit pointers, but is it really necessary to have all these compatibility libraries just for those few apps?
