What could be wrong? I just tried this on Fedora14 and it works. You may want check your sound preferences to make sure the alert volume is up and not muted. Alan

Creating a Gateway
by Aaron Gray 11 May '11

11 May '11

I now have DHCP working fine and a client attached, but am having problems adding a gateway. I have used WebMin to attempt to do it, adding a Static route and setting the "config as Router" option. This has added a file :- $ cat route-eth1 ADDRESS0=192.168.1.0 GATEWAY0=192.168.0.1 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0 have also tried with :- ADDRESS0=192.168.1.1 but I cannot get the remote computer to ping to 192.168.0.1 Many thanks in advance, Aaron

by lancebaynes87 11 May '11

11 May '11

I need a program that allows me to pass an application through a socks server, even if the program does not have native socks support. Under Ubuntu I can use socksify for this. What can I use under Fedora? Thank you!

yum problems
by Walter Cazzola 11 May '11

11 May '11

Dear Fedora Users, I'm just puzzled from an error I get from yum: >yum update Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, downloadonly, fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * fedora: mirror.switch.ch * jpackage-generic: mirror.ibcp.fr * jpackage-generic-updates: mirror.ibcp.fr * rpmfusion-free: mirror.switch.ch * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.switch.ch * rpmfusion-nonfree: mirror.switch.ch * rpmfusion-nonfree-updates: mirror.switch.ch * updates: mirror.switch.ch Error: no such table: packages up to yesterday everything was working correctly and apart from the dayly updating of my fedora13 I didn't change anything. Moreover any operation (repolist, list, install, update, ...) I got the same error message. Any idea on how to solve the problem? Walter

wvdial does not disconnect after ctrl-c
by Ranjan Maitra 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hi, I have been using wvdial (briefly) and I have a strange outcome when I disconnect. This happens about 90% of the time. About 10% of the time, it exits cleanly and everything is fine, but my question pertains to the other 90%. So, I hit ctrl-c and get the following ^CCaught signal 2: Attempting to exit gracefully... % There is no wvdial process anymore. $ killall wvdial wvdial: no process found However, the connection is not terminated (the meter is running), and indeed, $ ps aux | grep wvdial root 2024 0.0 0.0 50616 2344 pts/0 S 08:39 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd 230400 modem crtscts defaultroute usehostname -detach user 1 noipdefault call wvdial usepeerdns idle 3600 logfd 6 remotename 0 maitra 2156 0.0 0.0 103376 828 pts/0 S+ 08:56 0:00 grep --color=auto wvdial So, how should I really disconnect wvdial now? I am using a very up-to-date Fedora 14 on a (IBM) Lenovo Thinkpad T61 (on which sound has never worked after Fedora 13). Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

wallpaper sync for workspaces?
by Beartooth 10 May '11

10 May '11

Till very recently, I've always used a single desktop background, varying from PC to PC and keeping all windows less than full-screen (if only a little less). That was a convenient way to keep track of which machine I might be KVM-switched to. Then I decided to try wallpapoz, with a different background for each workspace; I like that, too. But it gets confusing. I'd like to do two things. First, I would have a standard set of backgrounds, with for instance a shot of the Appalachian Trail in spring on workspace #1 of all machines. Is there an easy way to do that much? Copy .wallpapoz over the LAN to each machine?? But then I'd need to differentiate again -- say, for instance, by putting a blaze orange "1" in the bottom left corner of all 16 workspaces on machine #1, a "2" on #2, and so forth. Is there an easier way to do such a thing than by opening all 16 backgrounds in the GIMP? Finally, if the Gnome developers persist in not letting us have a standard set of dedicated workspaces, alike in all sessions on all machines, is there a way to do the like in KDE?? It does seem to have something like a workspace switcher, which is better than none. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
