events/0 eats 50% CPU when Network Manager runs
by Mogens Kjaer
I have a Lenovo X61s with F12, kernel 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE
I normally use Network Manager to manage the wireless, however,
recently my events/0 process is using 50% CPU time (measured with top -d
60).
The load stays high even if I disable the wireless and remove the iwlagn
module. The machine doesn't have a wired connection.
"/etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop" cures the problem and brings the
load down.
When NetworkManager is running, but with disabled wireless, I don't
see anything special in /proc/interrupts, except for the timers.
Why is Network Manager generating all these events? How do I stop
it from doing this - keeping Network Manager running?

Clamav
by Michael Miles
How on earth do I set this up to get virus definitions that selinux
won't jump all over
I just want email scanned out and in
I tried the latest 96 could only find i686 rpm for clamav, clamd, freshclam
I am running Fedora 12 x86_64
The fedora repo has version 95 only
I installed the i686 version of 96 but selinux is freaking out stopping
the update
I have removed all and I will wait for proper instruction as I really do
not know enough about this OS
Is there a proper order for install?

EPEL clamav packages
by Dan Irwin
Hello,
I couldn't find a EPEL users list, so I'm posting here.
The clamav packages in EPEL are quite broken, and don't work out of
the box. I think this has been the case for many months.
Is there a current maintainer for clamav in EPEL? If not, what is
required to take this role over. I have the necessary skills, and I
have a working clamav install based on the broken EPEL packages. I
would like to contribute this work so next time I install a server
with clamav, it just works.
On the off chance I'm "doing this wrong", is there a better source for
clamav packages for RHEL/CentOS?
Regards,
Dan

Don't forget about the denyhosts package which will watch
/var/log/secure for repeated failed login attempts and attempts for
accounts like root and add the host to /etc/hosts.deny.

Lexmark printer
by Steve Blackwell
My wife just got a new Lexmark X2670 all-in-one printer with her new
laptop that we want to share.
I can't find any drivers for it for F11. Does anyone else have this
printer and if so have you found a way to make it work?
Thanks,

Possible cups/hplip bug?
by Richard Shaw
Hopefully someone can tell me definitively if this is a bug or not.
I've been having a lot of trouble getting my CD/DVD printing to work
properly in F12 after having it work perfectly in F11 on my HP
Photosmart C5580. I've re-tweaked the glabels template and can get it
pretty close but no matter what I do the printer always complains that
there is a media mismatch which I can choose to ignore and have it
print anyway.
I have three printer queues setup, one for regular printing, one for
CD/DVD printing, and one for photo printing. I have verified that the
settings for both tray and media type are properly selected in the
cups web interface in case there was a problem with
system-config-printing, which there does not appear to be. However,
when I look at my page log I see the following:

It appears that no matter which queue I use, it uses 8.5x11 regardless
of my print settings. As you can see from the log I also tried
printing a photo with the same problem (and same complaint from the
printer about media size).
Anyone have and ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

GW (LAN1, LAN2, ADSL) config
by j.halifax .
Hi All,
please help me kindly to reconfig my default GW (Fedora 12).
The GW has 3 active Ethernet cards:
eth0 - connected to Internet ADSL router (incl. VPN, pptpd)
eth1 - not used
eth2 - LAN1
eth3 - LAN2.
I had everything working fine but due to some problems I lost
the configuration of the GW and I can't get it working again.
(1) The Internet access (LAN1 -> GW -> Internet) is working fine.
(2) The access of (Internet -> GW -> LAN1 / LAN2) is ok incl. VPN
(3) I can not access LAN2 neither from LAN1 nor from GW box
Traceroute shows that for (3) packets don't go to eth3 (LAN2) as
they should, but they fall down to eth0 (default gw).
Can you please advise me what I need to set-up (iptables) in the GW?
Thank you so much for your kind help.
Regards,
jh

Did you read and follow these instructions?

Also, note: there is a bug with unetbootin. It won't work.
Have you done a Google or Yahoo search for solutions to your problems?
