How to know if a given port is Half or Full Duplex from Gnome?
by Fernando Cassia
How to know on a gigabit Eth0 if a given port is working in half
duplex, full duplex,and if it's fast ethernet or full ethernet, from
Gnome/Fedora?
If I hover over the ETH0 icon in the notification area of the Gnome
bar I only see "Wired connection 'System eth0' active". Is there any
way to make it display "Wired connection ' system eth- active (1000
Mbit, Fulll Duplex)" or @"Wired connection ' system eth- active (1000
Mbit, Half Duplex)"
Would come very handing while testing cables....
Thanks!!!

Where can I find a functional nslookup?
by Bill Davidsen
The nslookup shipped with Fedora is a toy, with most of the important
parts returning "not implemented" status. Can someone point me to a
source for the real program, such as I used on other systems like AIX?
The lack of functionality is becoming a real time-waster!

Mozilla spellcheck options
by Temlakos
Everyone:
Where is the English-US option for default spelling dictionaries in
Firefox and Thunderbird? (And for that matter, why don't those
dictionaries come with the proper names of Firefox and Thunderbird
pre-loaded?)
I have been using the spell-check system for many times. And I detect a
distinct United Kingdom bias:
Words ending in "-our" instead of "-or" (colour/color, favour/favor,
savour/savor, etc.)
The -er and -re dispute (centre/center)
The -ce and -se dispute (licence/license, defence/defense)
Meaning no disrespect to staunch defenders of the Queen's English, I
suggest that an English-US set of dictionaries should be available. At
least some members of this community learned (learnt?) our spelling from
Noah Webster, not Samuel Johnson.

posix acl
by Maurizio Marini
Hi there
the issue is relative to the copy of a file chmod 0700 from an home dir to a
shared public location
if i use samba (windows explorer) to copy the file, the default group acl of destination dir are correctly
applied; if i use cp command in a xterm shell, file is still 0700 and no acl is
applied
Is this a known and old issue with posix acl or i missed a piece?
best regards

Slapd starting slowly
by Joe Tseng
I recently set up an Amahi-based file server using F12 and I configured it
to run as a PDC with Samba and OpenLDAP. It had been running very smoothly
until just tonight when I discovered when I tried to restart the slapd
service it would just sit there for a few minutes. After it did start I
looked in /var/log/messages to see if I could glean some clues; it seems as
part of "service slapd start" the system would request information from
slapd in order to restart slapd. Seems pretty circular to me... I did not
note any type of success message when slapd finally did wake up from
suspended animation.
So my $64,000 questions are what is causing this and why is it rearing its
head now after running flawlessly for almost 2 months?
Thanks for clueing me in...

Do I have libbigloo* drivers linked incorrectly?

Lately every time I update my system I see umpteen cycles of messages

Each of these loops takes a noticeable amount of time -- especially on
this old 32-bit system. Thirty-two iterations of this loop add
substantially to the total update time. I see counterpart messages when
updating a 64-bit system.
When I look at all the libbigloo* files in /usr/lib, the *_u-3.4a.so
files are soft linked to *_s-3.4a.so files. There are also *_eu-3.4a.so
and *_es-3.4a.so versions of those files available for linking.
Do I have the correct links?

SOLVED - Re: [Fedora 12] "IOError: [Erno 28] No space left on device"

Worked like a charm. The combination of first booting to runlevel 1,
erasing some stuff to bring disk usage down from 100% to 98% and then
disabling SELinux did the trick.
Thanks to everyone!. Btw. this box had Fedora 10... not 12... :) I now realize

[Fedora 12] "IOError: [Erno 28] No space left on device"
by Fernando Cassia
I have one old machine running Fedora 12, kernel 2.6.27.
Suddenly one day after doing system updates (and it was downloading
some torrents in the background) the system would no longer boot
properly, and the system says the disk is full (probably is).
The issue is that I get the normal Fedora boot screen , then the
hourglass, then the log-in screen,then I get
Oops, sealert hit an error!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/sealert*, line 949, in <module>
print >> sys.stderr, "could not attach to desktop process"
IOError: [Erno 28] No space left on device
This dialog shows an "ok" button. I click there and ... nothing...
black screen and spinning hourglass...
I´ve tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 but nothing happens, Ctrl-Alt-F2 shows
IRQ handler tye mismatch for IRQ 0
current handler: timer
IRQ handler tye mismatch for IRQ 0
current handler: timer
IRQ handler tye mismatch for IRQ 0
current handler: timer
IRQ handler tye mismatch for IRQ 0
current handler: timer
hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
Any ideas?? I´m lost on this one...
TIA

PS: I don´t have a functioning CD/DVD reader on this system. I used at
the time of installation but not anymore...

What do these rpms do?
by Suresh Govindachar
Hello,
Please explain the role played by the material in each of
the following three rpms found on rpmfusion:
1) broadcom-wl-5.60.48.36-1.fc13.noarch.rpm
Common files for Broadcom 802.11 STA driver
This package contains the license, readme and configuration
files for the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA Driver for WiFi, a
linux device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-,
BCM4312-, BCM4321-, and BCM4322-based hardware.
2) kmod-wl-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64-5.60.48.36-2.fc14.2.x86_64.rpm
wl kernel module(s) for 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64
This package provides the wl kernel modules built for the
Linux kernel 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 for the x86_64 family
of processors.
3) kmod-wl-5.60.48.36-2.fc14.2.x86_64.rpm
Metapackage which tracks in wl kernel module for newest kernel
This is a meta-package without payload which sole purpose
is to require the wl kernel module(s) for the newest
kernel. to make sure you get it together with a new
kernel.
The reference URL provided for all three packages is the same,
viz., http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
(Note that the material on the reference URL is newer than any
of the three rpms; but what I am trying to understand in this
thread is the role played by the stuff in each of the 3 rpms.)
Thanks,
--Suresh
