Re: NAT-setup: modification requared [SOLVED]

Dear list! My mail provider had some technical problems. I could not log in to my mailbox during all day. Now it's OK but I've no new messages for the last 24 hours. Probably KGB erased them ;-) I read your kindly replies from public list. I've solved the problem by setting 192.168.3.* network for eth2. Thanks goes to Mr. Alain Spineux. So simple it was! To Bill Davidsen: “*I appreciate that you may have policy or financial issues which prevent this, that hardware is inexpensive in the US but might no be at your location.” I have no restrictions of what to do with *my* traffic after I've got it from that socket on the wall. I just don't want to buy anything. I've already brought a nice desktop and powered it by Fedora. Now I can even establish my own Internet provider. Just if I could put a plenty of Ethernet adapters to the box! By the way, switches from the same China' plant cost the same around the World, aren't they? Joerg Bergmann Wed, 02 Sep 2009 01:45:38 -0700 “You should buy a network switch (about 10$), connect that to eth1 and connect both the clients to that switch. No further configuration needed, please do _not_ configure eth2.” Sorry. Can't promise that... jaivuk Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:25:25 -0700 “*You can find more info fore example here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Bridge but I don't think you need to compile anything – I'm pretty sure this funcionality is built-in into Fedora for quite a long time now. Bridge has one more advantage - if you decide to add yet another network card - it should be pretty easy to add it into bridge.*” Grate tip. Thank you! I will consider of doing so in the nearest future. But for now I choose the simplest way (the fastest to configure) to satisfy my WEB-addiction. Once again: thanks everybody for participation. Appreciate that. Respectfully -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982. Be counted at: http://counter.li.org/

Chrome Fedora proxy configuration
by John Thompson 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Has anyone figured out how to configure a proxy server with Chrome? Going to "Options...Under the Hood" and clicking the "Change proxy settings" button just brings up a help screen, but I can't see anywhere to actually change the settings. -- -John (john(a)os2.dhs.org)

Audio locks on latest kernel
by Antonio M 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I usually listen to radio streams by Rhythmbox, after updating to latest kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i686 I am experiencing locks after a short time (one or two songs): it is running fine on previous kernels. I am using Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) with snd_intel8x0. My system is Fedora 11 fully updated to now. Anyone experiencing same troubles??? -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag SIP: antoniomontag(a)ekiga.net

[OT] LiveCD proved to be a valuable tool
by Smith, Herb 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

All, My wife has a Dell set up as a dual boot with Fedora 6 and Windows XP. Over the weekend a shutdown attempt went awry and something got corrupted on her machine. Neither Fedora or Windows would boot. Fedora would get past GRUB, but hang at the second step in the detailed boot process. Windows would also hang somewhere. I gave her the FC10 LiveCD to boot from. She was able to do so and used the Logical Volume Management tool to mount both the Linux partition and the NTFS partition. She was then able to remove all her files off to a USB disk. She has now installed FC10 and is rebuilding her development environment (she did not reinstall Windoze..). The LiveCD proved to be a very useful tool to enable her to recover her files. There may have been another way to recover from this, but since Windoze was also hosed (even worse than it typically is... ) it felt like there might not have been much that could have been done.

Hi I am trying to create a virtual machine and install Windows XP. I am using Fedora 11.The system was last fully patched about an hour ago. selinux is disabled. root@pc32 ~]# uname -a Linux x.com 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 17:16:21 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux When booting the virtual machine for the first time, the VM hangs with: "Booting from hard disk". Nothing else appears. When I shutdown the VM /var/log/messages has: Sep 2 03:42:44 pc32 libvirtd: 03:42:44.714: error : operation failed: could not query memory balloon allocation ... and a dialogue box appears with the same message: here is the trace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 507, in shutdown_domain vm.shutdown() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 566, in shutdown self._update_status() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 217, in _update_status info = self.vm.info() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 523, in info if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virDomainGetInfo() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: operation failed: could not query memory balloon allocation Thanks, James Harrison

NAT-setup: modification requared
by Hiisi 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Dear List! I have F11 machine which shares WEB to small home wired network. F11 computer has 3 ethernet adapters - one built in motherboard (eth0, 'main' adapter) and two additional cards (eth1,2). With grate help of this list and even greater help of google I was able to set up NAT over it. It worked perfect while there was only one client in the home network - window$ laptop, connected to eth1 (eth2 was down). Now I added second laptop - it runs ubuntu. I turned on eth2 and tried to do the same trick with it but no lack until now. Here goes mine configuration: ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:EA:22:A0:2C inet addr:192.168.0.203 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20f:eaff:fe22:a02c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:124015 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:25838 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:21230917 (20.2 MiB) TX bytes:4769745 (4.5 MiB) Interrupt:19 Base address:0xe000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:48:2E:43:9C inet addr:192.168.2.20 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::280:48ff:fe2e:439c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:11044 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9539 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:8868181 (8.4 MiB) TX bytes:3991105 (3.8 MiB) Interrupt:18 Base address:0x8000 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:98:DB:E9 inet addr:192.168.2.40 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::240:f4ff:fe98:dbe9/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:75 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:73 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:5935 (5.7 KiB) TX bytes:14586 (14.2 KiB) Interrupt:19 Base address:0xa000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:329 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:329 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:69191 (67.5 KiB) TX bytes:69191 (67.5 KiB) route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1003 0 0 eth1 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1004 0 0 eth2 default mitht2.imt.ru 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 iptables -L -t nat Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination MASQUERADE all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables # Generated by iptables-save v1.4.3.1 on Tue Sep 1 23:36:23 2009 *nat :PREROUTING ACCEPT [1264:158963] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [96:14688] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [462:49878] -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE COMMIT # Completed on Tue Sep 1 23:36:23 2009 # Generated by iptables-save v1.4.3.1 on Tue Sep 1 23:36:23 2009 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [7849:1116249] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [1219:189475] -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth2 -j ACCEPT COMMIT # Completed on Tue Sep 1 23:36:23 2009 Window$ laptop has 192.168.2.30 address and uses 192.168.2.20 (eth1 IP) as gateway.

When I'm trying to ping 192.168.2.50 from F11 the result is: ping 192.168.2.50 PING 192.168.2.50 (192.168.2.50) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 192.168.2.20 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.2.20 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.2.20 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable ^C As I can understand packets go from wrong IP. Namely, from eth1 when I would like them to go from eth2. How to fix that? Thank you for your attention! Respectfully -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982. Be counted at: http://counter.li.org/

Evince: Prints some images not others
by Smith, Herb 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I have been trying to print a pdf document that contains several jpg images. Some of them print, however others do not. This occurs on two different systems so it does not seem to be a printer issue. Does anyone know what would distinguish jpg files to make one print and another just appear as a blank space? Thanks Herb Smith

FC11 - flash plugin for Firefox
by Markus Kesaromous 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I have posed this question to the firefox folks, but got no answers. Hoping someone can advise/explain the cause of the problem. I have installed firefox-3.5.2-2.fc11.i586 and flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386 (from adobe.com) If I browse to a website like youtube, and open a video and after viewing the video, I go on to doing oher things, (without closing the youtube page). After a while i want to play another video. Well, the audio gets stuttered, and then I get a repetitive stutter with lots of echo of the same word/phrase/sound. Only way for me to fix it is to kill firefox and and restart. If someone knows of another flash plugin that does not have this problem, please let me know.

F11: no sound
by lanas 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hello, After the install and update (close to 600 packages were updated) of Fedora 11 x86_64 there is no sound. On board sound is provided by Nvidia. Ubuntu, installed previously, used to have sound. Installed xine and mplayer (yum install xine, yum install mplayer) and both are playing a ogg file but, no sound ever gets to the speakers. What to do ? Thanks for any advice.
