USB Serial Port
by mike
This may be easy for some but, all of my Linux experience has been on
servers and I am just now trying to move into the desktop side.
I am trying to use a USB to Serial adapter by Belkin for a needed
application at work. I plan on using PuTTy as my comm plaform but, I
cannot figure out what port id the device is being given or if I need to
configure it in some manner.
Anyone know a simple way or the correct place to look for info about
this on the Web?

To your question.
I am not really sure, I activated it through the system pull down menu
>System >Preferences >Look and Feel > Desktop Effects
I was able to login as a different user, after creating a second user
account, but I cannot login to the system under that user name
without everything going blank.......
Any ideas????

Converting Fedora 14 from single drive to Intel RAID (ICH7R)
by ivo s
I would like to convert a Fedora 14 64-bit to a RAID1 array on Intel ICH7R.
Тhe RAID1 array has a XP partition and several partitions for Fedora 14 and
data.
Originally when Fedora 14 was installed on a single drive it was partitioned
with a primary /boot and a primary LVM partition with / and /home partitions
(all ext4)
I had some issues with the cloning so at the end I used dd to copy
partitions to a single drive on the controller and then using Intel's Array
Manager from Windows XP to convert to a RAID1 Array.
Booting Fedora 14 fails as there's an issue with properly recognizing the
RAID1 Array. I suppose I either need some additional options in GRUB or new
initramfs-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64.img or something else.
At the moment Fedora 14 sees the 2 drives with same partitions and complains
about duplicate LVM's
Anyone with experience in this, please give some directions. I could
install a fresh Fedora 14 but I am interested in a solution and finding out
if what I am trying to do is possible and how it's done.
I've used Clonezilla in other situations but I don't think it's an option
with Intel's "fake raid" controller.
Thanks

HELP!!! I Borked Java...
by Christopher A Williams
I tried following the guides to install SunOracle Java 1.6 Update 23 on
my F14 x64 system. It got completely messed up.
Now I am unable to get back my OpenJDK java plugin working in Firefox.
Is there a magic incantation that will cure this - assuming that I would
have to start from scratch with openJDK?
I have tried reinstalling java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin.x86_64 to no avail
so far. I know there must be more to do than this...
Cheers,
Chris

Re: GNOME - mount CD/DVD to fixed point

This used to be possible with the gnome-mount command, which could mount
a device from the commandline, or change the defaults, like setting a
fixed mountpoint under /media. The program seems to be missing from
current Fedora releases. The closest thing I could find to a replacement
is pmount ('yum install pmount' will get it for you).
Now I think you'll need to know the device name in order to mount it;
how I use it is:
pmount /dev/sdb1
which mounts my usb disk as /media/sdb1 . The man page will probably
give you the information you need to make it do what you need it to do.

virsh and networking questions
by Alex
Hi,
I have an fc14 server with two interfaces -- one public, and one
private. I've set it up without bridging, but now that I've created a
virtual host using virt-manager, I think I should have created a
bridge first.
Currently, I have eth0 as the external interface, with eth1 configured
as 192.168.1.10 and eth1:0 configured as 192.168.1.2. There is a
default route to the gateway on eth0 (the public interface).
virt-manager has configured networking for the virtual host to be
192.168.122.185 using nat to eth1, yet I can't route packets outside
of the virtual host.
If I were to restart the whole networking setup, what would be the
best way to do this? Since there are two interfaces, I'm not sure
which devices to make into a bridge. I've also seen references to
bridges (ifcfg-br0) that contain the IP and network info, while other
examples have the IP and network info in the ifcfg-ethN file. Which is
correct?
When a virtual host is using nat, it effectively acts like the IP
specified for the translation, including the routing table, etc,
correct?
I'd eventually like to allow access to port 80 on the virtual host
from the outside using port forwarding.
An idea of the general approach I should use to design this network
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Desktop effects disable problem
by Daniel J. Celta
Guys I need help
By mistake I activate the desktop effects and now all I can see is a
blank screen and the mouse, I reboot and nothing I get back to the
blank screen.
I am running FC10 on a X86_64 AMD machine.
Can someone please help???
I know this is an older system but my machine would not accept any
upgrades to any of the available releases.
Also I have read some threads where they recommend renaming the .kde
directory but no luck, the problem still remains.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
