Extremely slow web page loading to only 1 site ?
by linux guy 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

This has me scratching my head. My access to www.rv.net is extremely slow. With both Konqueror and Firefox. And yet others say they have good access times. I'm running a fully up to date F12 installation. $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Jan 18 20:06:44 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ping www.rv.net PING www.rv.net (12.17.249.39) 56(84) bytes of data. ^C --- www.rv.net ping statistics --- 31 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 30371ms Pinging Google gives me: $ ping www.google.com PING www.l.google.com (74.125.127.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from pz-in-f99.1e100.net (74.125.127.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=35.5 ms 64 bytes from pz-in-f99.1e100.net (74.125.127.99): icmp_seq=2 ttl=53 time=94.5 ms 64 bytes from pz-in-f99.1e100.net (74.125.127.99): icmp_seq=3 ttl=53 time=117 ms 64 bytes from pz-in-f99.1e100.net (74.125.127.99): icmp_seq=4 ttl=53 time=53.3 ms 64 bytes from pz-in-f99.1e100.net (74.125.127.99): icmp_seq=5 ttl=53 time=35.2 ms 64 bytes from pz-in-f99.1e100.net (74.125.127.99): icmp_seq=6 ttl=53 time=43.1 ms ^C --- www.l.google.com ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 5608ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 35.266/63.190/117.264/31.485 ms What gives ?

Strange Copy/Paste behavior in KMail 1.13.5/Kontact 4.4.8
by Steven P. Ulrick 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hello Everyone, I am using KMail 1.13.5 from within Kontact 4.4.8. Also, I am running Fedora 13 and KDE 4.5.4. All of this is fully updated. I don't know when this problem started, but when I copy something like this from any email in KMail: No. Why do you need the "full-install" DVD? and paste it into any text editor, it comes out like this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1- strict.dtd"> <body>No.  Why do you need the "full-install" DVD?</body> If I want to copy and paste a tracking number for an item that I purchased online, it looks like this when I paste it: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1- strict.dtd"> <body>9101128882300487354725</body> In the above example, this is the procedure I followed: 1. Using my mouse, I select "9101128882300487354725" in the desired email. 2. Right click the mouse, and then select "Copy" 3. Then, I either do "Ctrl V" or "Right Click | Paste" 4. The result is always the same. I get the text that I selected, plus a whole lot HTML markup... I have KMail set to compose and send emails in text only. In my experiments so far, this only occurs when I copy FROM KMail. If I copy from any other application, and paste INTO KMail, it pastes correctly. Also, when I select and then copy "9101128882300487354725" FROM KMAIL, and then check my clipboard, it shows up in the undesired format: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1- strict.dtd"> <body>9101128882300487354725</body> As far as I know, I didn't change anything to cause this problem to occur. I do know that up until a few weeks ago, on this same system, if (from within KMail) I selected and copied something like "9101128882300487354725" and then pasted the result into any application, I would get this: "9101128882300487354725" That is how it has always worked for me, and that is NOT how it's working for me now :( Your help is greatly appreciated.

Is there a better Alternative to Thunderbird ?
by Mickey 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Fedora 14 / KDE Today my Thunderbird-3.1.7 crashed and sent all my 1500 emails to the Trash Can. Thunderbird was taking so long to compact and other things it had to do and locking up my desktop and Web Browser. In Fedora is there a better email Browser ? I tried Evolution but it just does not seem to work very good in Fedora 14.

how to change nautilus' default browser?
by Mike Wright 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi all, Subject says it all. I've gone through every option I could find, right clicked everything, grepped through .nautilus and .gnome2* and haven't the slighted idea why nautilus insists on opening Chrome when the system default is set to Firefox. (IMO Chrome isn't ready for prime time: the Firebug extension for it is a joke, its UI is tedious; it may be faster at some things but its shortcomings *way* overwhelm any of its benefits.) Any takers? TIA, Mike Wright

Fedora 14: Shutdown problem
by Terry Barnaby 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hi, About 1 in 4 times Fedora 14 hangs during shutdown on at least 4 of my systems. Looking at the shutdown messages (ESC in the splash screen) and adding some debug statements to /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/S01halt, it hangs after the messages: "Unmounting file systems" "init: Re-executing /sbin/init" with the message: "mount: you must specify the file system type." Adding some debug, this appears after the following command is executed: "fstab-decode mount -n -o ro,remount /dev/sda1 /" The file system is ext4 on all of the systems and that command looks ok. Any ideas ? Terry

Printer marker levels -
by Bob Goodwin 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

I am plagued with the cryptic message: Printer "Brother-HL-5140": ";marker-supply-low". This seems to have begun recently, perhaps with the installation of F-14, I'm not certain? If I knew what it means I might be able to fix something, alternatively how to eliminate it if I can't satisfy whatever it's objecting to. System-config-printers > Properties tells me "Marker levels [whatever they are] are not reported for this printer" but the notice keeps coming up anyway. I print two copies each of five crossword puzzles every morning and this notice keeps popping up and blocking part of my screen, an annoyance and one more thing to keep clicking on! Suggestions?

CHECKSUM is not easily accessible on Fedora Download Page
by Armelius Cameron 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hello, I know Fedora try to be more user friendly, and the website design that points to the various download options reflects that. But I think one signficant thing is missing: the CHECKSUM file is not easily accesible. How can a novice user know how to check that his/her download is correct and not corrupted ? Following the link to get fedora from the main page, I ended on this page: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#formats Since I want to get the full DVD install, I follow the link to: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_6… x86_64-DVD.iso That goes to a page that tells me that the download would start shortly (and it did), but no information about how to check the correctness of the downloaded file. There's this box that says: "What should I do with this ISO file?" and a link to instruction. The second page on the instruction ask to "Verify the download", but again, no link to point to the CHECKSUM, or how to even verify the download. Sure, I can figure out just fine that I can browse the download directory manually, get the CHECKSUM, and verify it with 'sha256sum' utility. But how about Aunt Tillie ? How about people who uses Windows to download and may not have the utility handy ? should there be at least a link to the CHECKSUM file, or even just display the hash there on the download page, and a quick instruction on how to check the download ? Thanks -- AC

httpd cannot connect via TLS to LDAP server after upgrade to fedora 14
by Ldap Tester 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

After upgrading a machine from fedora 13 to fedora 14 (with all updates), I was suddenly unable to get its httpd to authenticate with my LDAP servers. After connecting my browser to the web server with https, and typing in my username and password, I get an Internal Server Error response. My configuration is: LDAPTrustedGlobalCert CA_BASE64 /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt LDAPTrustedGlobalCert CA_BASE64 /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.asc <Directory /var/www/html/ssl> AuthType Basic AuthName "User Login" AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthLDAPURL "ldap://serv1.foo.org serv2.foo.org/dc=foo,dc=org" TLS AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off require valid-user SSLOptions +StrictRequire SSLRequireSSL </Directory> The httpd debugging log shows: auth_ldap authenticate: user XXXX authentication failed; URI /ssl/staff/index.shtml [LDAP: ldap_start_tls_s() failed][Connect error] Changing AuthLDAPURL to use SSL instead of TLS also fails but with: [LDAP: ldap_simple_bind_s() failed][Can't contact LDAP server] tcpdump shows that the httpd client connects to the LDAP server, and is sent: Start TLSrequest accepted Server willing to negotiate SSL but no certificate info is exchanged and the client quickly closes the connection. Changing AuthLDAPURL to use NONE makes it connect successfully. serv1 uses a cert purchased from GoDaddy, and serv2 uses a self signed cert (which is /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.asc). Both servers are 389-ds. Both certs mentioned in LDAPTrustedGlobalCert are valid and world readable. ldapsearch is able to connect to both servers with TLS. On another machine with the same httpd configuration, but still at fedora 13, httpd is able to connect securely even without the LDAPTrustedGlobalCert lines. As a side note, after upgrading to fedora 14, I had to add tls_cacertfile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt to /etc/nss_ldap.conf and /etc/pam_ldap.conf and also add TLS_CACERT /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf in order to get those to work. Under fedora 13, everything worked without those lines. I don't know if this is a problem with httpd's mod_authnz_ldap or its mod_ldap or with openldap, or just a configuration mistake on my part, but it used to work before the upgrade. I have searched all over for an answer to this problem because I can't believe that I am the only one having it, but I have found nothing. I welcome any ideas.

Help coming up to speed
by don fisher 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Sorry for the length:-) I have used RedHat/Fedora since the company started. But for the last few years (since F9) I have been doing science. I tried to install F14 and found many changes. Much of what one used accomplish by editing configuration files is now done using GUIs under Gnome. I would like to know how the system works at the configuration file level. What are the switches that can be included on the kernel command line? Is there any way to control Plymouth so that the commands are visible and one drops to a login prompt at the end? What is upstart calling and what files does it modify? When one configures a dual head display under gnome, what tools are used and what files are modified? What auto configurations are controlled by HAL and udev and whatever? Is there a document or book that can purchased/downloaded that explains what is going on under the covers? I have found fragments via Google. The software development I preform does not lend itself well to the desktop environment. Most of my work is done from the command line and/or under emacs. I currently use fvwm2 with a 6X6 grid of desktops. If this query is not appropriate for this list, please suggest the alternative. Thanks, don
