OpenOffice crashes compiz on F 14
by Kirk Lowery 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

The subject line pretty well summarizes it. I've got a vanilla Fedora 14 box, with the default theme and compiz enabled. Compiz works fine until I try to do *anything* with Oo.o. Then it crashes. I've googled around and apparently Oo.o has had issues with gnome gtk and compiz, but I was unable to come up with a workaround except to disable compiz. Suggestions? TIA!

Advanced Format Hard Drives and Linux?
by KC8LDO 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I'm going to be screwing a new system together in the next few days. I got a Hitachi Deskstar HDS721010CLA332 1TB drive for main storage. My question is will Fedora, any particular version, install OK on one of these drives without doing anything special, the so-called 4K alignment, I've read about? A brief downloaded from the manufacture says yes but you have to use some particular command line switches with gparted. Is this already setup in the Anaconda installer during the disk partitioning step? Also I hope this isn't a drive that has the same problem the Western Digital "Green" dives have with wear out due to frequent head loading and unloading issues. http://www.rrfx.net/2010/03/western-digital-green-hard-disk-drives.html http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=609&sid=113&lang=en http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/tips/Disable_WDGreen_HeadParking.htm

Problem with IPSEC transport
by Luc MAIGNAN 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi, I want to establish an IPSEC tunnel between a fedora box and a NETASQ router. The router doesn't support AH transport, just ESP. So I try to disable it by setting : AH_PROTO=none in the ifcfg-ipsec0 file. but it doesn't work ! In the log file, I can see : pfkey GETSPI succeeded: AH/Transport 8x.xxx.xx.xx[500]->192.168.50.181[500] spi=30486826(0x1d1312a) Can anyone help me to give me a way to DISABLED the AH proto ? Best regards

Installed F13 from DVD - Won't Boot
by Oliver Ruebenacker 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hello, I installed F13 from DVD on a PC with two SCSI hard disks. The F13 partitions (e.g. /boot) seem to be there and look OK, but the BIOS says there is no operating system. Also, if I try rescue mode from the DVD and say "boot from local drive", it simply hangs. Any idea? Thanks!

FC14 module-init-tools fatal error
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I am installing FC14 on a system that has 503Mb of memory, so I am doing the install via a ks file. I did a text only install previously to get the basis for building the ks file and one person here sent me his anaconda-ks file for guidance on what to add. So the file module-init-tools-3.11.1-2.fc13.i686.rpm is one of the files to install and I am getting a fatal error on it. "This could indicate error when reading the installation media." Well the media is my local repo server. I downloaded a fresh copy of the file, just incase something was wrong with the copy I extracted from the DVD iso. Still the error. Anyone see anything like this? There has not been any update to this rpm.

Hi, I am using wireless broadband modem in Fedora 14. Network manger is able to detect it. My system is getting an IP on ppp0 and icon on desktop top is showing that network manager has detected it. But Mozilla firefox is giving error "Server not found". Though i am able to ping or nslookup any url from terminal. Even if i put ip of google server on firefox, it is able to launch the first page,. It is able to show search result. But it can not launch any link from that search page. For websites like Yahoo, it is not able launch the home page also. I tried with eth0 and lo disabled also, but no use.

svn with dyndns
by Paul F. Johnson 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi, Has anyone using f14 managed to use dyndns to provide the IP name with their own svn server? I've got things set up here for svn, but when I try to connect via dyndns, it comes back with no route to host. I'm not going through apache to try and make life easier. All requests in via tcp:3690 are routed to the server. I've set things up using the instructions at http://queens.db.toronto.edu/~nilesh/linux/subversion-howto/ (option 2) If I try svn import kickstart svn://127.0.0.1/developer/paul -m "Initial import" I get asked my password, and life is good. However svn import kickstart http://devsys-dyndns-server.com/developer/paul -m "Initial import" comes back with svn: OPTIONS of 'http://devsys.dyndns-server.com/developer/paul': Could not resolve hostname `devsys.dyndns-server.com': Host not found (http://devsys.dyndns-server.com) Not sure if this is my router being silly (it looks ok, I have a rule set for TCP/UDP 3690 to allow traffic in, so the firewall is happy there). IPTABLES has 3690 tcp/udp also open or if i'm missing a trick using dyndns - it looks like everything should work TIA TTFN Paul -- Vertraue mir, ich weiss, was ich mache...
