Remote desktop connection (F10)
by David Hláčik 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hello guys, I've seen recet discussion about nomachine remote server/client. I would like to have a remote desktop connection to my fedora 10 server, which the most effective user feeling as if I was working on keyboard and lcd attached to server. To compare, I am looking exactly for the same as microsoft remote desktop connection and microsoft services terminal (mstsc). What I like the most is XDMCP connection, which I am using a lot currectly. But this has a big disadvantage, after I will close connection, session is lost, and I am not able to login to current session (loged user) again. Please help, many thanks David Hlacik

What's the Audit command "I Need it now!"
by Paul Ward 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi All, About 18 months ago I recall having to run an audit command on our servers that created an archive file (tar maybe) of all the system configurations files and info to send to a redhat technician. I have completely forgotten the name of it can someone please tell me what it's called, I don't think it's called auditd though. -- email: pnward(a)googlemail.com website: http://www.pward.co.uk MSN: pob2000is(a)hotmail.com Skype: paul.n.ward

VPN
by Ashley M. Kirchner 24 Feb '09

At the office I have an FC10 server that acts as our firewall for our internal network. Eth0 is a public IP, and Eth1 is private. Connections are handled by iptables. The internal network consists of private IPs being handed out by a DHCP server running on that same FC10 server. Can someone give me some pointers or links on how I can configure something that allows me, sitting at home using Windoze, to be able to connect and access our internal network? Thanks!

Gnome scanner utility crashes, no Bugzilla component
by Matthew Saltzman 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

In my F10 installation, the gnome-scan utility, flegita, segfaults when it detects my scanner (attached to another machine on the network). I went to Bugzilla to file a bug, but there is no component for gnome-scanner or flegita. What component should I use? Also, has anyone noticed that when one selects Fedora as the product in Bugzilla, the version numbers don't change from the initial version numbers associated with the default RHEL product? -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs

KDE 4.2 requires local MySQL Server
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi folks, most people with automatic updates might not have noticed, but if you look closer, the recent bunch of updates, including KDE 4.2, installs the MySQL server on the machine (and some other database related stuff which MySQL depends on). It's the "akonadi" package that requires a MySQL server to run. Google shows that there's been a long discussion about this issue some months ago. Unfortunately, akonadi cannot be uninstalled, because that will break a lot of KDE dependencies. Is there an easy way around it? An end-user desktop environment requires a full-blown local database to be setup and run. Wow, I didn't know that so many users are professional database admins and know what to do. No KDE without MySQL. For now, the KDE 4.2 stuff can be ignored: yum update -x akonadi -x 'kde*' -x 'PyKDE*' -x ksysguardd -x oxygen-icon-theme Of couse, KDE updates cannot be ignored forever ... Is this MySQL dependency by intention? Couldn't find anything helpful on this or on the devel mailing list, although this is a big issue, IMHO. Confused ... Andreas
