F9: USB memory stick won't mount
by Brian Mury
Hello,
I am trying to use a USB memory stick with F9. When I plug it in,
Nautilus shows an unmounted "USB Drive". Double-clicking on causes a
"Unable to mount location - Can't mount file" error. Right-clicking and
selecting "Mount Volume" appears to do nothing.
I can mount it from the shell with "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/abc -t
msdos" (as root).

Any ideas? Worked as expected with F8, though it was a different drive
(which I no longer have, so I can't test it).

Wide, flat, & weird : HP w2207h with F8 & F9
by Beartooth
I've been running several F8 and F9 machines behind a KVM switch
against what seemed the current high-end monitor in local stores. (My old
LCD, which was 1280x1024, died suddenly.)
The first weirdness, of several, is that my three PCs all handled
it well enough to be usable under F8, albeit not optimally -- they try
variously to treat the display or the hardware, or both, as anything from
1280x1024 to 1680x1050 (which is what it is), and often fail when they're
over 1280x1024.
This is the case even though I do my upgrades, and especially
installs, with the subject machine out from behind the KVM switch,
connected directly (and alone, of course) to the peripherals, so that it
can do any necessary negotiating with them, unimpeded by the KVM switch.
(In the past, that has sufficed. Once they're configured, they
can be put behind the switch again.)
One machine actually shows *almost* the model number (w2207,
without the h) -- but that's not in the list of all monitors that Fedora
knows about.
Is there some secret driver somewhere that I should be getting?
One reason I bought this on is that HP is supposed to be linux-
friendly ...

Jumping Terminal Windows on F9

Any hints out there for fixing terminal windows that jump from their

Announcing Eth-0: A week long outdoor Lan Party, Netherlands
by Yaakov Nemoy
Hi List,
I would like to announce that we will have a last minute planned
Fedora presence at the ETH0 outdoor lan party event. So far we have
no plans for an official tent, but I will be giving one or two
presentations, and participating in the VJ camp with some friends.
ETH-0 is a week long camping event held in in the province
Noord-Holland, in the woods near Friesland. The camping site is about
12km away from the town of Den Oever. You can get either day passes
or a discounted full week pass. The event is focused around four
themes, or camps: Open Source Software, Embedded Systems, Multimedia,
and Gaming. The goal of the event is to bring together highly
creative people in any one of these fields to meet with other like
minded people and come up with new creative ideas. The event appears
to be officially in English, and if you are not familiar with the
Netherlands, almost everyone here speaks English fluently. You can
find out more about the event at these links.

http://wiki.eth-0.nl/index.php/Main_Page The wiki for the event
Since this event is geared around the people who use the software,
rather than just the people who develop it, I would like to open an
invitation to anyone in the Fedora User community to come join me at
the event. FAMSCO has allocated a budget for this, so feel free to
let me know about any special or fancy ideas you have.
Also if you are interested in coming but need help with resources like
camping supplies, or looking for more information about travel, please
post information either to this thread, our wiki page, or email me.
Yours,
Yaakov Nemoy

logging is a Unix feature ; -) was Re: Regarding the keylogger in the linux fedora systems

I don't really know what you mean by "keylogger" but I will extrapolate to
the various possibilities offered by a Unix-like operating system is capable
to reach the nirvana of "keystroke logging". I will also assume that you don't
want to hide your activities but this was already understood ;-)
- script
There is the old and venerable Unix command called "script" that permits
to record a whole interactive session in a text file. Very handy when you
have to record an activity session for a course or making documentation.
You just need to run "script myfile" and this will save all shell interaction
into a file called "myfile". Of course, you are free to add some scripting
around it.
- GNU Screen
A second option is to use the wonderful GNU Screen (but I'm sure that
you already know that very nice GNU package). Screen is capable
to do extensive logging of any session happening in a screen session.
"screen -L" is going to log the activities in screenlog.0 but feel free to
use the screenrc config file to configure it.
Lookup the man page of screen and search the following keywords :
"deflog / logfile and %n"
- Sebek
You have also more powerful tool like Sebek
(http://www.honeynet.org/tools/sebek/)
often used in honeypot to capture activities of an attacker.
Of course, this is just an overview of the capacity. You have also the
excellent socat (http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/) that can be used
to capture interaction on any
/dev/ttyp. You can also patch the GNU readline library, use ttyrec,
use the THC vlogger...
But don't forget that such power come with responsibilities.
Hope this helps,
adulau

ssh reverse tunnel
by Rick Bilonick
I re-installed Fedora 8 and now I can get a reverse ssh tunnel (from
server to home) by typing on the server:
> ssh -R 2022:server.ip:22 home(a)home.ip
Then when at the home computer, I type:
> ssh -p 2022 server@localhost
This works fine. The only problem is the connection always times out
even though I've changed the sshd_config files on both machines to keep
it alive. I've restarted the sshd daemon also. Not sure why the
connection keeps closing.

Sagem Fast 800 E3 usb modem and Fedora 8
by Frank Cox
My wife is currently visiting her family in Mauritius, and has taken her laptop
along with her. Her laptop runs Fedora 8 and I have set up network manager on
it so it will automatically grab any available Internet connection without any
further action required on her part. This works fine here, both with a
wireless and a wired connection. Switch on, blammo! Connection established,
done deal.
However, she advises me that the connection at her mother's house uses a Sagem
Fast 800 E3 modem that has only a usb connection, and when she plugs it into a
usb port on her laptop nothing happens. (On the actual modem, the word Fast is
written as F@st.)
A bit of Google searching tells me that this modem is based on the Eagle
chipset (whatever that is) and that there are apparently Linux drivers available
for this thing, somewhere. Making things more interesting, it appears that
this Sagem is a French outfit, and most of the documentation that I can find is
written in French.
So....
Is there an easy way to make this modem work with Fedora 8? My wife is by no
means a "techie"; she just uses whatever software I provide for her, and there
is no way in the world that she will be able to compile a kernel module on her
own, or anything like that.
"yum search sagem" gives me no results, and "yum search eagle" gives me nothing
relevant. I'm pretty sure I could call her on the phone and talk her through a
"yum install whatever" and reboot, but I have no idea what I should tell her to
install.
I hate to have to tell her that she hauled her laptop all the way from here to
Mauritius for nothing, but I'm starting to think that's the situation.
Any suggestions are welcome.

One at a time.
by john brennan-sardou
Hello everybody,
I am under fedora nine and I have two problems. One with the scanner and
the second with the firewire. Here is the first.
My scanner does not work and I don't know how to get out of it. I have
install the last version of iscan and iscan plugin to no avail except
for the sixty-two erreur messages at boot time .
The scanner is an epson v100 which worked great under fedora 8. With
sane-find-scanner I get this:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x012d [EPSON
Scanner]) at libusb:001:005
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be
supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
And with scanimage -L absolutely no joy.
Could somebody please get me out of this mess.
Thanks a lot.

Re: Network disconnected

no I mean in main menu of GNOME there are 3 items :Applications, Places, System
I chose System---> Administration--->Network
by the way, it was the problem of SELinux. I disabled it and network connection was O.K.
