F9 : password crack
by Luc MAIGNAN
Hi,
I want to test the strength of the passwords of my F9 box. I wanted to
use John The Ripper but it doesn't seem to support SHA-512 algorithm
used by default by F9.
So :
* Do you know a patch I can apply to John so it can support SHA-512 ?
* What else tool can I use in place of John ?

sound and video problems with fedora 9
by Rohan Kulkarni
Hello everyone,
I did a fresh installation of Fedora 9 on my Acer Aspire 4720 laptop.
However, there are several sound and video issues. Whenever I start
any video the monitor becomes dim and also the sound starts after
sometime. The sound works only if I connect an external
speaker/headphone to the system.I removed pulseaudio and also created
a new file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base with a line options snd-hda-intel
model="acer" but still it does not work.I have installed KDE 4.0.Here
the sound settings in System Settings shows that my sound card driver
is disabled or not installed.How do I get my sound and video working?

OT: SSI with httpd
by James Pifer
I'm trying to get server side includes working with httpd. I have this
in the conf file:
LoadModule include_module modules/mod_include.so
#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I've restarted httpd and it restarts fine. When I try to add an SSI to a
page it doesn't work. If I look at the page source I can see the include
in the source, which I read means that the httpd server is not properly
setup for SSI.
Here's a simple page I'm trying:
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome</title>
</head>
<body>
<!--#include FILE="include.inc" -->
This would be a Welcome page.
<!--#config timefmt="%A %B %d, %Y" -->
Today is<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->
</body>
</html>
include.inc exists in the same directory as this file. Can anyone tell
me what I might be missing here?
Thanks,
James

verifying iso images downloaded by jigdo during installation
by Mohammed El-Afifi
I'm downloading the DVD iso images for fedora 9 everything 64-bit using jigdo. This spin comes in 4 DVD's. I've finished downloading the first two DVD iso images completely. I then tried to install fedora 9 and booted my computer using the first DVD.
Before starting anakonda installer, I've the chance of verifying the installation media. When I was prompted for verification, I chose to verify the two DVD's I've till now. Actually, this was the sole purpose of running the installation DVD, to verify the images I downloaded so far.
Everything went all right with DVD 1, however DVD 2 was reported to have errors. I tried to verify DVD 2 using jigdo-file and the template file for DVD 2, and jigdo-file reported that the image is good.
The problem can't even be with my DVD burner, because I haven't burned the images yet. I used VMWare instead to boot a 64-bit virtual machine using the iso files.
So now DVD 2 is reported to have errors by the verification step in the installation process, while jigdo-file reports no errors about the image.
Are all the installation media of the everything spin of fedora 9 64-bit guaranteed to pass the verification process during installation or just the first DVD(probably because it may match the official distribution fedora 9 64-bit DVD while the other DVD's aren't part of the official distribution)? Is there a method to verify the image externally(with a third tool for example) to settle if it's good or not?
Appreciating your help.

CUPS not right
by Jonathan Allen
Hi All,
OK, so I have upgraded one machine on our network to F9. Generally
OK, but printing is a problem. The printers are all hosted on an FC6
machine, shared to the whole LAN. When the machine was FC4 is saw
and could use all the printers without any trouble. Now the machine
is F9, with no other changes, it can't see any of the shared printers.
No errors logged on the server; the client shows:
localhost - - [27/May/2008:18:42:09 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.1"
200 289 CUPS-Get-Printers client-error-not-found
Any idea how to get my printers back?

F9: evolution mail with URL
by John Horne
Hello,
I have noticed with F9, using Evolution mail client, that if a message
contains a web URL and I click on it (the URL), Firefox is started up
but remains 'minimised' in the taskbar. That is, it doesn't open up and
show me the web page until I click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar.
Since I clicked on the URL in the mail message, I would have thought it
somewhat obvious that I want to look at the web page :-) I could see no
options in Evolution or Firefox about this.
Anyone else notice this, or have a fix for it?
Thanks,
John.

How to let user to use the web cam in Fedora 8?
by Wong Kwok-hon
Hello,
I have installed the Logitech Quickcam Messenger by using the kmod,
but only root can use the webcam. And I need to change the ownership
from rw-r--r-- to 766 rwx-rw-rw in /dev/video0 every time after I
reboot the machine.
Would any method can do this automatically every time when I reboot ?
Is is related to udev?
Thanks,
Best Regards,

FC9: low volume on Intel HDA
by Marco Guazzone
Hi all,
I've just fresh-installed FC9 x86_64 on my Dell Latitude D830.
It seems the volume of audio of my Intel HDA is lower than the one I had on
FC8... Approximately a reduction of 20% (i.e. 100% of FC9 seems to sounds
like 80% of FC8).
I check both the general volume and the PulseAudio Volume Control.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
Thank you so much!
Cheers,

by Colin Paul Adams
Since upgrading from fc8 to fc9, my ssh passwords are no longer
remembered within a session. What's the utility that does this, and
how do I reactivate it?

Network Manager grays out wireless option
by vs
Running Fedora 9, not sure why the behaviour in subject happens. I know the system can see my wlan0 interface based on dmesg and ifconfig wlan0. But Network Manager decides to disable wireless without giving me the option to re-enable it again. Much like if it'd think that no wireless devices is available.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
