Hi, Are there some download statictics about the different spins? The statistics page doesn't seem to differentiate between the spins :/ Thanks, Clemens

User controls over Screensaver...
by Linda McLeod 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Would be sweet if the user had optional controls over which files screensaver picks from.. and options to set the time period of pix in the screensaver slide-show... Would be a plus if the screensaver doubled as a screen on screen slide-show... Would be even pluser if the user could touch a set key to delete an unwanted pix from the screensaver file, when that pix happens to show... -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Accessible with your email software or over the web

F15 - Evolution - Message Window Does Not Refresh
by Manish Kathuria 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

After moving to Fedora 15, I have experience a couple of issues related to Evolution. When a message opened in a window is moved to some other folder, the window keeps on displaying that message instead of moving on to the next message in the original folder. A new window has to be opened every time to view the next message, which is quite different from the earlier behavior. How can it be rectified ? Thanks, -- Manish

Bug in system-config-firewall ?
by linux guy 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi people. I'm setting up ssh on a server box. I'm using system-config-firewall to open up port 22 for it. Here is the thing... it *appears* that system-config-firewall has port 22 opened up by default, for some reason. Ie the port is checked on the port list in system-config-firewall. However, if I run nmap from the remote machine (nmap -sS -F 192.168...) it shows all the ports to be closed. If I unselect port 22 and press Apply and then select it and press Apply again, nmap finds it open and all is well. However, if I then reboot, the port is again closed ! One seems to need to repeat the unselect-Apply/ select-Apply procedure to get it working again. Is it just me or do others have the same problem ? There is also an issue with saving service setting in system-config-firewall on my machine, but I'll get to that later. What other program are people using to manage their firewall settings. I'm not a fan of manually entering iptable entries. $ uname -a Linux zoneminder.localdomain 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Tue Aug 30 14:54:41 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ yum list system-config-firewall system-config-firewall.noarch 1.2.29-4.fc15 Thanks !

Please note that 4 out of 6 machines are used by people that don't know what Selinux is and what is doing. To be honest, no Fedora 16 is running as server but all are heavy duty desktops.

Need KVM switch
by John Aldrich 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

I've got two computers -- a Windows XP machine and a Fedora 15 box. I am sending back the new KVM I bought since it doesn't work at all for my Linux box (just sits there and doesn't detect that it's plugged in.) It also doesn't pass along the unifying receiver for my new wireless keyboard and mouse from Logitech. I need a USB KVM for my Windows machine as I'm currently using a PS2 with an adapter. I think the only reason that is working is because my old Belkin is a powered KVM and doesn't rely on power from the systems. Anyone got a KVM they can recommend? Bonus if it'll share the speakers with multiple computers. :D

DHCP or fixed IPs for servers ????
by linux guy 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

I have a number of servers on our local network. I have always set the IP on my servers manually, ie disabled DHCP and assigned each one a unique fixed IP. Is there a practical way to assign an IP to a server automatically, ie with DHCP and still have other computers find it on the network and have services like port forwarding, firewalls, etc. work properly in routers ? Thanks

What has happened to the Zoneminder website/ info ?
by linux guy 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

I would like to set up Zoneminder to run some security cameras. When I google various Zoneminder topics, invariably the website www.zoneminder.com gets mentions. That website, and all the documentation on it seems to be no longer in service. Anyone know what is up with that ? Where can one get access to some good zoneminder information, like, for example, a list of hardware that works well with it ? Thanks !

BFO not working
by Christopher Svanefalk 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Dear all, has anybody had any problems getting past the boot-stage using BFO ( http://boot.fedoraproject.org/index)? Whenever I try, I seem to get stuck at the download of initrd.img. My network card confirms network activity, but it just drags out for a long time (almost had the whole screen covered in dots on the last attempt), and then the system just reboots, seemingly after random time intervals. I am running an HP ProBook 4510s, and I have had no real problems with anything Linux-related prior to this. Best, Chris
