05 Oct '12

Why my gnome-shell is connect to yahoo.com ? > [root@dodo ~]# netstat -natp|grep 80 > tcp 0 0 10.9.2.105:47580 98.139.53.227:80 ESTABLISHED 1555/gnome-shell > [root@dodo ~]# host 98.139.53.227 > 227.53.139.98.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer yts.yql.vip.ac4.yahoo.com. I have nothing to do with yahoo It Is some gnome-shell-extension witch I have install ? There a way to find out who is making this connection and disable it? Many thanks -- Dario Lesca - sip:dario@solinos.it (Inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 17 Gnome3)

Need help
by Lawrence E Graves 05 Oct '12

05 Oct '12

I need some help in trying to get to the source of this problem. This the readout of the command traceroute risingstarmbc.com. I am unable to connect to this email address and I don't know how to resolve it. Could somebody give me instruction on who I can touch base with to get this fixed. There is nothing wrong with my email account. Have already checked that. Nothing wrong with ISP provider.

Re: Remote Amarok music collection?

I'll look into it, thanks! I just want to be sure that there is no simpler way, before I go on to mount a remote filesystem. Also, will a remote filesystem give me trouble in the situations where I don't have an Internet connection? Will Amarok be able to cope with occasional (but regular) loss of the mount point? On a side note, why do you say that pure http is wrong for this? From where I'm sitting, I see absolutely no reason to make a distinction between local music and remote music. It looks like an unneeded limitation of Amarok (or short-sightedness of its devs?) to require music to reside on a filesystem. Everything is becoming remote and "clouded" these days. :-) I would prefer the functionality of having a music collection which contains local files, remote http files, youtube links, .iso images of audio CD's, etc... Somehow I naively expected that Amarok already has this functionality... ;-) Best, :-) Marko

aurecord problem/question
by JD 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

# aurecord /tmp/a1.wav Can't connect to audio server What server is that? pulseaudio daemon is running: jd 8829 1 1 Oct02 ? 00:44:46 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog Also, in the mixer settings, Capture and Microphone Capture are checked. In the Options tabs, I tried both Mic1 and Mic2 (Not sure which is internal and which is external - as I do have a headset plugged), but still, aurecord exist with the same error message.

Problem with wpa_supplicant
by R. G. Newbury 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Has anyone else noticed a problem with wireless authentication using wpa_supplicant? Following a router change and consequent messing with passphrases, my Thinkpad with iwl4965 chipset has ceased to authenticate. It can easily connect with the wireless router if the router is 'open' but fails on WEP, WPA and WPA2. The household's mac airbook, ipad, iphone and android phone have no difficulty. I have tried deleting all /etc/sysconfig/network* files, as well as those in wicd and wpa_supplicant and recreating but no joy. Interestingly, the psk reported by a 'iwlist wlan0 scan' for my router is nothing like the psk produced by 'wpa_passphrase essid mysecretpassphrase' scan: 1382882a0e39633131ca70df0db2a9bff9a8f142d47cdde921740e27aea26c77 wpa_passphrase: f389062374809e11f7c30b39b6e34f221b311a963dcb866a318bcee1e4ce0337 Anyone have any idea what's going on? Fedora 17 on 3.5.5.-1, wpa_supplicant, wpa_supplicant-1.0-1.fc17.x86_64

Why graphics drivers are proprietary
by Junayeed Ahnaf 04 Oct '12

The header is self explanatory. I always wonder what bad would it bring to the vendor if they open source their graphics driver? Thoughts? Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor

>> To repeat, the imac is working, apparently with full internet access, >> via *wired* connection. The prior use of wireless internet on the imac, >> has been turned off. >Well, (a) I'm not really sure where you trying to use this 10-digit key, >and (b) even wired links can use encryption or require some form of >authentication. Granted, that it's not common for wired links to be set >up that way, but it is possible to do so. ------ This 10-digit key was first response I got from uverse on phone after the uverse install. At that time even the imac had no internet. The uverse rep on phone had me go thru a sequence of 2 things to set up wireless internet on the imac, including giving him/her that 10 digit key, read off from side panel of the uverse modem. Then a day later I had another phone exchange with uverse where at my request they led me through the steps on the imac to turn off wireless (Airport) internet, and to turn on wired internet, and the imac has wired internet since. I suppose it remains possible, that 10digit key encryption/authentication on the imac is affecting my wired connection on my f16 box. Seems unlikely but maybe? --------------- Tim, I have yet to try your suggestion of turning off both computers, and then pull the power cable from uverse modem, wait, and then put power cable back in, all with the computers turned off. Will try this soon. ------------------ Had the worst/most frustrating uverse phone exchange yesterday oct 3. The rep was barely understandable, he finally got around to to having me pull the power cable from uverse modem. This had the effect of also cutting off our phone, something I had not realized, that the uveerse bundle now has our phone line subject to problems/disconnects of the uverse modem. And of course, even though the uverse rep had our phone number which they dutifully take down every time we call, "so that we can call you back in case of a disconnect", he never did call back. That uverse rep also seemed to know nothing about the added 3 pieces of electronic gear that came with the uverse install, so I don't yet know what they are, why such a mess needed. When I crawl under my desk I can see a jumble of 1) aluminum? ~1ft square 2in high box-- a large 'W' on one face. 2) a grey plastic Belkin box ~8in square, 3in high-- another router? 3) a small vanilla box All 3 I think are connected to the uverse modem. there is an additional very thin green wire coming of somewhere in that 3-box mess, that is also connected to the uverse modem. --------- Is there any command sequence to restart/stop/start NetworkManager? Jack
