evolution to MS exchange 2007 via MAPI
by L 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

I am looking for information how to connect evolution to MS exchange mail server. The institute switched the mail server to MS exchange. The temporary solution is outlook on XP on VirtualBox, but this is not preferable. I tried evolution-MAPI, it seems tried to connect, unfortunate, MAPI account crashes every single time. Any one have good story to connect Evolution 2.26.3 on F11 to MS exchange 2007. best Y

fc-11 on IBM e server
by kevin Graff 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello I have an IBM e-server x-series 335 with 2 xeon 2.6 GHz and 1 Gig of ram. It uses a built in raid controller I have set up as a Raid 1 with 2 36 GIG hard drives. If I try to install using 64 bit version it tells me that there are know 64 bit CPU and to use other version if I install 32 bit version with the ACPI=off I can get it to install but it locks up all the time. Most time I get a CPU 1 not responding error also when I check the hardware it reports back 2 cpu I would have thought that it should have shown 4 cpus since I have 2 dual core cpus running hyper threading. The severe is an old one and the problem could be in the hardware, I have been using Fedora since core 1 and never ran into so much trouble dose any one have any experience install fedora on this server?

What are .config parameters for my kernel?
by Jonathan Ryshpan 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

I had thought that they would come from the .config file from either the kernel-source.rpm or the kernel-devel.rpm for my current kernel. But these two files are different. I run the latest kernel, namely linux-2.6.30.x86_64 . In particular, is my current kernel PREEMPT or VOLUNTARY_PREEMPT? Any way to find this out? I know I can get the kernel I want (PREEMPT) by rebuilding, but it would be nice to avoid this, and also to be able to settle this question in general. Thanks - jon =========== diffs between kernel-source and kernel-devel =========== $ diff -c ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.30/linux-2.6.30.x86_64/.config /usr/src/kernels/2.6.30.9-90.fc11.x86_64/.config *** /home/jonrysh/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.30/linux-2.6.30.x86_64/.config Tue Oct 27 20:25:44 2009 --- /usr/src/kernels/2.6.30.9-90.fc11.x86_64/.config Sat Oct 17 08:38:07 2009 *************** *** 1,7 **** # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit ! # Linux kernel version: 2.6.30.8 ! # Tue Oct 27 20:25:44 2009 # CONFIG_64BIT=y # CONFIG_X86_32 is not set --- 1,7 ---- # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit ! # Linux kernel version: 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.x86_64 ! # Sat Oct 17 11:22:55 2009 # CONFIG_64BIT=y # CONFIG_X86_32 is not set *************** *** 284,291 **** CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y # CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set ! # CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set !

Freeze on resume from Suspend to Ram.
by linux guy 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

For about the last month, occasionally my laptop will freeze when I resume after suspending to RAM. About once in every 5 resumes. It responds to a keypress by starting to come to life. The fan goes on high. But the screen stays dark and never displays anything. Does anyone else have this problem ? How would I troubleshoot it ? Thanks.

Heads up: Brute force attacks on the rise recently
by Michael Cronenworth 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

It seems in the past month brute force attacks are on the rise. They are targeting anyone listening on port 22 and go after root. If you do not have a hardened box, you will see thousands upon thousands of connections in your logs. Once logged in they will set your system up in their botnet. Google: dt_ssh5 This little baby will get placed in /tmp and will be running. Looks to be a SSH gateway for the attackers for easy access/control. -Make sure your root password is not a dictionary word. -Add iptables rules to limit multiple connections on SSH to 4 within a minute.[1] Perhaps this needs to become a Fedora default. -Update your system. -Use SELinux. Why am I sending this message? Is it SPAM? No. I've seen this hit a customer and cause an explosion in their network traffic. The backdoor was installed on Sept. 30th and was not detected until recently. Google results seem to indicate this past month with higher than normal brute force activity.

Got Windows guests?
by Richard W.M. Jones 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello fellow Fedora, libvirt and libguestfs users, If you have any Windows guests, then you can help Fedora to support Windows guests better by spending a few minutes testing the Windows Registry feature we just added to libguestfs 1.0.75. You will need: - A Windows NT/200x/XP/Vista/7/... guest - Fedora 12 or Fedora Rawhide host - libguestfs-tools >= 1.0.75 (from updates or http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8391 ) - a few minutes of your time The tests: (1) Run the virt-win-reg commands shown in the following web page, where "MyWinGuest" should be replaced with the name of the Windows guest as known to libvirt: http://libguestfs.org/virt-win-reg.1.html#examples Do the commands run without any errors? Does the output look sensible? If you have several Windows guests, please try as many different sorts as possible! (2) Download the registry binary files and try to convert them to XML: guestfish -i MyWinGuest --ro <<'EOF' download win:\windows\system32\config\software software download win:\windows\system32\config\system system download win:\windows\system32\config\sam sam download win:\windows\system32\config\security security EOF hivexml software > software.xml hivexml system > system.xml hivexml sam > sam.xml hivexml security > security.xml Do those commands run without error? If there's an error, try adding the hivexml -k option. Does the XML look complete? (Try running the XML through tidy -xml -indent -quiet < foo.xml | less ) I hope you don't find any bugs, but if you do: Send a reply to this message, or report a bug in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?component=libguestfs&product=Virt… It's useful to include the following details: HIVEX_DEBUG=1 hivexml regfile 2>&1 > log.out The Registry file itself that is failing (but note that Registry files can contain sensitive data). It's also useful to have positive feedback ("it worked!"). Thanks for any testing you can give, and if you have any other suggestions for handling Windows guests from Fedora, please let me know. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.

> kdebase-workspace I installed kdebase-workspace with yum. Then when I typed "startx" on my shell, I obtained this result that I post following: [root@eva ~]# startx hostname: Unknown host xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.2006 xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "/usr/bin/X" in PATH Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/bin is in your path and that "/usr/bin/X" is a program or a link to the right type of server for your display. Possible server names include: Xorg Common X server for most displays Xvfb Virtual frame buffer Xfake kdrive-based virtual frame buffer Xnest X server nested in a window on another X server Xephyr kdrive-based nested X server xinit: Server error. [root@eva ~]# What have I to do? Thank Andrea
