avchd convert to play on ipod touch?
by Alex 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi, Is there a (free) program available for converting the MTS files from my Panasonic camcorder to be useful on the ipod touch? I've done some searching, but it appears the most common way is through some commercial applications. Thanks, Alex

F14 and qtnx client
by Joachim Backes 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi all, somebody has been successful in connecting the qtnx client to a server running the nxserver from nomachine? Wondering about the fact that there are only *fc11* versions of the qtnx client software :-) If starting qtnx after having configured it, I only get an error msg like ------------------------------------------------------ Process started stderr> Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. ------------------------------------------------------- I was not successful in finding helpful entries in the forums. Kind regards -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

Remote X display access
by Alex 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi, What is the best way to securely permit a remote X application to display on as local system? I'm trying to get system-config-services to run on a remote FC14 x86_64 system to my local FC13 x86_64 system. It's on a local internal network. I've tried setting the display and allowing access using xhost, but it still appears to have an access control problem. Also, how can I do this across the Internet? Wrap it in ssh? Thanks, Alex

FC12 to FC14 : stat failed for the webserver over cifs
by Jean-Philippe Battu 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Hello on a linux box in FC12 or FC14, I set up a web server I have two virtual host, the first is a filesystem mounted over nfs (port 1980) and the second is a filesystem mounted over cifs (port 1982) I noticed the filesize php function and the stat php function don't work on the file of the web server which is mounted over cifs my php code is quite simple : <?php $thefile="./filesize.php" ; $arrayst= stat( $thefile) ; print_r( $arrayst ) ; echo "<p> Size: ".filesize( $thefile)."</p>" ; ?> when I do host:1982 to access this file, I get: Warning: stat(): stat failed for ./filesize.php in /dir/filesize.php on line 3 and it works for host:1980 (the php file is copied twice) Getting the error for stat, I tried to use the stat shell command and it works for the two files, nfs or cifs Do you know how I could solve this error ? it worked on FC9. FC9 : httpd-2.2.9-1.fc9.i386 php-5.2.6-2.fc9.i386 samba-client-3.2.0-1.pre3.9.fc9.i386 FC14: php-5.3.3-1.fc14.i686 httpd-2.2.17-1.fc14.i686 cifs-utils-4.7-1.fc14.i686 Jean-Philippe

Re: BOOTMGR is missing, and now cannot login to Fedora either
by Barry Keeling 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Thanks to Stan :) for taking the time and effort to respond to my post. I found his suggestions really useful. I was able to flip to a console in F14 and successfully login to my user account, but sadly I never resolved the graphical login issue where F14 kept redisplaying the user login screen after I had entered my password. I did check the log files, but wasn't able to google much from log file text. Anyway, have re-installed Fedora 14, and it seems to be working fine now. The major learning was to make sure that grub is set up correctly asap, prior to doing lots of work on the linux install. I have a dell laptop and the first non-boot partition is a Dell windows recovery area, so Vista is on (0,2). The default grub.conf setup is set to (0,1), so I edited it as soon as I was able, without letting the Vista boot-up fail. Now I can successfully dual boot and have had no problem with the user login screen on F14. Barry.

system-config-firewall from remote machine
by Matthew Saltzman 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

I tried to run system-config-firewall logged in remotely as a normal user (not root). I am not prompted for root's password. The interface pops up and the startup splash screen displays, but when the splash screen clears, it's replaced with an error popup with the message org.fedoraproject.slip.dbus.service.PolKit.NotAuthorizedException.org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.auth: and buttons labeled "Redo" and "Quit". "Redo" results in the same popup. Running on the local machine behaves as expected: root password prompt, GUI opens, interaction is normal. Logging in remotely as root works as expected too, but that's not a good security practice. Is this a bug? (I assume so...) If so, what package? (This is system-config-firewall-1.2.27-1.fc14.noarch, FWIW.) TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
