Cifs with no writing permissions
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
I have just upgraded from F11 to F12, and now when I mount a samba
partition with command
mount -t cifs -o iocharset=iso8859-1,user="xxx",rw //xxx /mnt/mydir
I do not have writing permissions on the mounted directory.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

F12 yum install wireshark - not added to menus
by Aaron Gray
Hi,
I have just installed Wireshark on F12 on the console using 'yum install
wireshark' as root.
And Wireshark has not appearing on the menus, and it is does not envoke from
the command line either.
Where does it live and is there anyway to add it to the menus ?
Many thanks in advance,

Pulseaudio error message -
by Bob Goodwin
I don't have much need for sound but it usually works.
This is a new F-12 install from the livecd and it acts like the
audio level is turned down somewhere although I haven't been able to
find it. I think I can hear some very faint sounds at times?.
One symptom is:[bobg@box6 ~]$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/alert.wav
Home directory /home/bobg not ours.
ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to
connect: Connection refused
aplay: main:608: audio open error: Connection refused
When I try pavucontrol I get an error message:
"Connection failed: Connection refused"
I don't know what this is telling me, I know that I have changed
anything related to sound. It worked with no problem in F-11
Any suggestions appreciated.

F11 Thunderbird 3 beta 4
by Paul Erickson
Does anyone know when there will be an upgrade beyond
Thunderbird 3 beta 4? My main problem with it is that the
ability to "run filter now" button is no longer functioning.
A Bugzilla report has been filed some time ago, but I
see no indication of when a new version of Thunderbird will
be available for F11 which will fix the problem.
Have I missed something somewhere?

fedora 12, attempt to install dual boot with OS X 10.4 (Tiger) on MacBook Pro
by Matt Morgan
I was running Fedora 10 under bootcamp, dual booting with OS X 10.4.11
(Tiger) on a MacBook Pro.
I began (using the live boot CD) an install of Fedora 12. When I got to the
point where you reboot to continue, the Fedora partition (an LVM, I just let
the installer do what it wanted) was not a bootable drive. That is, bootcamp
didn't see it anymore.
I booted up into OS X and tried the bootcamp assistant, which no longer
runs. Apparently there is no version of bootcamp that still runs on the
version of OS X that I have.
So I have a few questions:
1) Has anyone solved this?
2) If not, if I ditch OS X for good (I'm not going to pay for a new OS on
this 4 yr old computer), should I expect any particular problems with Fedora
12 on this older MacBook Pro? It's an Intel Core Duo (not core 2 duo) model
with ATI Radeon X1600.
The only reasons I keep OS X now are 1) can't get bluetooth to work under
Fedora 10; 2) Can't get my java-based VPN portal to load up under Fedora 10
on this computer. The ATI doesn't do everything it should, but that doesn't
bother me (I've never tried to fix it).
Thanks,

Kaffeine
by James W. Bennett
I am using Fedora 12. After I first install Fedora 12 Kaffeine would
play my music cd's. Once I disconnect my computer to clean up cables
(just tight up cables) I could no longer get kaffeine to work. I always
gets error *Cannot find input plugin for MRL [cdda:/]*. What I am
wondering - does anyone else see this problem and has anyone solved this
problem.
I have two sata cdroms.
I just got on this list so I am not aware if had been previously discussed.
Thanks

Problem with maximum size of group and getent when using LDAP backend
by Howard Wilkinson
I am seeing a problem with retrieving group information from an LDAP backend where the number of members of the groups can be large. The data I have contains duplicate gidNumbers which may be causing other problems. But I think this is a buffer size problem in the interface between the glibc library and the nss_ldap backend.
The behaviour is as follows. I am using getent to enuerate the group map e.g.
getent group
I get all of the entries from the local group files back, and then the first entry from the LDAP store is returned, the next entry is retrieved from the LDAP backend by NSS_LDAP but this layer returns NSS_TRYAGAIN/ERANGE and getent just terminates.
Does anybody know if this is a correct diagnosis of the problem I am seeing, i.e. getent calls into getgrent in the library and it calls the nss layer which gives up on the LDAP service as soon as the buffer overflows.
Note I am testing this on a rehat RHEL 5.3 box running glibc-2.5-34 with nss_ldap-265 plus my patches (which do not touch this area of the code yet).
Thoughts or suggestions as to where I can go to check this out further solicited.
Regards, Howard.
