Switch eth0 and eth1, how?
by Fernando Cassia 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

In my server I have eth0 and eth1 (previously were em16, em17, but I hated it so I changed to the traditional approach). Each NIC port is connected to a different ISP. However, more often than not while moving things around I get the cables reversed so ETH0 goes to ISP2 and ETH0 goes to ISP2, or vice versa, ie the cables are interchanged. So... is there a way, in such situation, to manually (say, from a bash script) bring down both eth ports, and re-arrange those? (so that eth1 becomes eth0), and do so without a reboot?. I´d like to make eth0 and eth1 consistent regardless of mixed cabling so every time I bring down eth0 I know what isp I´m bringing down. What IP each port is connected to I can figure out via a query to www.whatismyip.com, but the question remains if it´s possible to change the naming of two ethernet ports without a reboot. What would be the best way? ethtool? TIA FC

enable second monitor in F14?
by Dave Stevens 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

I tried to uninstall OpenOffice before installing LibreOffice and found that my proprietary ATI X driver was uninstalled too. After sorting that out I wound up sticking with OO after all. But now my monitors mirror each other and I don't see where/how to change to the pan view I had before with independent display content. Suggestions?

Laptop doesn't know which display to use when docked.
by Terry Polzin 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

I am running xfce on F17 completely patched and current. My laptop is a HP probook 6460b. When I boot it docked the grub screen appears on the external display. When the boot has completed the background screen is displayed on the external display. I get no login prompt on the external display. I press enter a couple of times the login display will appear and I'll log in then the external display goes dark. I open up the laptop and it's display has the desktop on it and I have to manually switch to the external display and discontinue use of the laptop display. If both displays are selected for use the whole thing wants to act like a twin head setup which I don't want. What do I have to do to get the laptop to use the external display when docked and it's own display when it isn't automagically. To undock the laptop I have to reverse the display procedure of course. This also makes it impossible to "undock and run" without making manual changes as to which display to use.

USB modem support broken since linux-3.6.1
by Clemens Eisserer 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Hi, After updating the kernel of the Fedora-17 installation on my laptop (from 3.5.4 to 3.6.1), both of my umts-modems aren't found anymore. The first one (was usb0) is integrated into the notebook, the one I typically use is an external ZTE MF652. The ZTE's cdrom emulation (used for windows setup files) is detected, however I can't see any new network devices created. Is this a known issue, or should I open a bug-report? Thank you in advance, Clemens

Xine-Check question
by JD 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

I have the following xine packages installed: xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.21-3.fc16.i686 xine-ui-skins-0.99.7-2.fc16.noarch xine-lib-extras-1.1.21-2.fc16.1.i686 xine-lib-1.1.21-2.fc16.1.i686 xine-ui-aaxine-0.99.7-2.fc16.i686 oxine-0.7.1-11.fc16.i686 gxine-0.5.907-2.fc16.i686 xine-ui-0.99.7-2.fc16.i686 Xine-check seems to output some messages that need to be perhaps changed or corrected?? $ xine-check Please be patient, this script may take a while to run... [ good ] you're using Linux, doing specific tests [ good ] looks like you have a /proc filesystem mounted. [ hint ] ummm, you're running a strange kernel version. Your kernel says, it's version 3.4.11-1.fc16.i686, but I don't know << So what?? anything about this version. That probably means You should either upgrade your kernel or upgrade this script. press <enter> to continue... [ good ] intel compatible processor, checking MTRR support [ good ] you have MTRR support and there are some ranges set. [ good ] found the player at /usr/bin/xine [ good ] /usr/bin/xine is in your PATH [OUCH!!] no libxine.pc on this machine. <<<< I do have xine-lib installed, but it does not install libxine.pc This means that xine-lib is either not installed or it is installed in a very unusual place. So you should probably install xine-lib before running xine-check... press <enter> to continue... [ hint ] unable to determine plugin directory <<< And what is the user supposed to do so xine-check can determine plugin dir? I could not determine your plugin directory. That would be much easier if you had libxine.pc installed (see message above)... Note that I could not check your xine plugins. press <enter> to continue... [ good ] /dev/cdrom points to /dev/sr0 [ good ] /dev/dvd points to /dev/sr0 [ hint ] Your DVD drive seems not to be attached via ATAPI. This might be due to the use of an ide-scsi emulation. If you really have a SCSI DVD drive, your SCSI controller is likely to do perfect DMA, so there's no reason to worry about this. However, if you're using ide-scsi, there is a chance that DMA is disabled for the DVD drive. Moreover, I don't know how to enable DMA in that case, so you probably have to live with some performance loss. (FIXME: check for /proc/ide, provide solution) <<< There is no /proc/ide

Contact list for KDE user?
by Timothy Murphy 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

As far as I can see, KAddressBook/Kontact has become completely non-functional, with entered contacts being entirely invisible except when exported as a CSV list. In my experience, KAddressBook has always been pretty bad, but it has now become, as I said, completely useless. (I asked about this on the KDE mailing list, but the only response I got was from someone else who said he had the same experience.) I'm beginning to think that maybe Google Contacts is the only practical solution? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Gimp Stuck
by Jonathan Allen 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Dear List, I've got my Gimp stuck. File->Open and it locks - the only way out is force-quit. It can do recently open, but the main 'open' dialog and the save-as dialog are both guaranteed lockups. Any ideas? Jonathan

Idea ´unbrand´ meta-package
by Fernando Cassia 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Is there a meta-package name encompassing all trademarks and bitmaps copyrighted by Fedora? (guess not) In other words, I want to create a Fedora re-spin VM, it´d be great if there was a single package name I could remove (ie something like "rpm -e fedora-branding") and end up with a system that I can start customizing while knowing there´s not a single piece of conflicting trademarks or names left behind. Thoughts? Ideas? Expletives? ;-) *joke* FC -- During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act - George Orwell
