Using Exim as a controlled relayer
by Gary Stainburn 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

I've managed to get the Exim + Pgsql setup working. For the domains I'm hosting I have a set of records which contain an email address within the domain and an delivery email address, e.g. user(a)hosted.domain -> gary.stainburn(a)ringways.co.uk When I test this using exim -bt user(a)hosted.domain it works fine, but when I try to send an email it fails relay not permitted. Obviously i do not want to turn on relaying, so how can I configure Exim to allow emails that have matched a record in the user table to be forwarded?

Booting issues
by Kinkaid, Kyle 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hi Fedora Wearers, I'm having some boot problems on my Fedora 18 workstation, KDE Spin. System background: I have a Dell Precision workstation, with two HDs, and full disk encryption. The two HDs are combined into three logical volumes, swap, root, and /home. Issue background: I walked away from my computer and decided to enable screensaver and lock by using the "screen lock" hot corder (sorry, forgot the KDE term). When I came back the screen saver hadn't locked and I couldn't move the mouse (system clock on the Task Manager hadn't moved either). I tried to recover using various key presses, including Ctrl-Alt-F-key to open a new terminal. Eventually I gave up and hard rebooted because nothing seemed to work to unfreeze my system. Current state: After the hard reboot, Grub loads, the kernel starts and I type in my encryption password like normal. But it eventually dumps me into emergency mode, asking for root password. The file system is mounted RW and all my files seem to be there as normal. When I type 'runlevel' it says "runlevel unknown' and an 'init 3' or 'init 5' command brings up the Fedora booting splash screen but drops me back to the command prompt without allowing me to login. What I've tried: I checked the documentation (e.g. here<http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Installation_Guide/ap-re…>) and most of that seems to refer to grub not working, or volumes not mounting, none of which applies to me. I checked /var/log/messages but nothing seems to be obviously wrong in the logs. Any advice on what could be wrong or what to try next? Thanks, Kyle

Blinking tab in Firefox -
by Bob Goodwin 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

I just updated F-18/64 XFCE and was surprised to find that I now have some flashing tab titles in Firefox, at least "New Tab" and I would not be surprised if there are more. The yum log shows: [root@box10 bobg]# cat /var/log/yum.log | grep firefox Feb 27 10:03:48 Updated: firefox-19.0-1.fc18.x86_64 Mar 15 05:27:49 Updated: firefox-19.0.2-1.fc18.x86_64 Am I the only one afflicted with this or is it a new "feature?" If so how do I stop it? I found nothing that seemed applicable doing about:config and searching tabs. Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 Fedora-18 XFCE Linux

Fedora 17 and exim-pgsql RPM
by Gary Stainburn 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hi folks I'm setting up a new server and trying to configure Exim. For the first time I'm trying to use Postgresql with it, so have installed the exim-pgsql RPM which silly me thought enabled Postgresql support. However, I get errors on the hide pgsql_server=(/tmp/.s.PGSQL_.5432)/exim/exim/<password> What do I need to do to enable the pgsql support, or can someone at least point me to a suitable Google search?

Do you have Samsung Printer Problems ? Here is the place to go.
by Mickey 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Don't go to Samsung go here. It takes version 4.00 of UnifiedLinuxDriver for Fedora 18 that you can't get from Samsung, and this driver even fixes the Selinux errors. Will have to go to Samsung to get two tar.gz files; Smartpanel PSU Put the two files in a directory with UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz and extract all three at the same time. Do a su - before install , After install ,reboot computer. Also if the driver install does not print, goto /usr/lib/cups/filters and be sure all files have a chmod 755 . http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/forum/index.php?board=2.0 and here http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ Good luck All.

F17: How to set up VPN for Android?
by sean darcy 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

On F17 trying to configure Host2Host VPN to use with my galaxy nexus. The Fedora wizard on requires a "remote address". I've tried 0.0.0.0, which got an error of: racoon: INFO: unsupported PF_KEY message REGISTER I've also tried the internet facing interface. When I tried to connect I get: ERROR: exchange Identity Protection not allowed in any applicable rmconf. What I obviously don't have is the whatever remote address the phone will be assigned. ConnectionType=Host2Host EncryptionMode=auto IKEKey=<inserted in android client> IPsecld=gnexus OnBoot=True RemoteIPAddress= ????? Can I set up the Fedora VPN for a "road warrior"? sean

How To Adjust Image Options When Setting Desktop Background...
by EGO-II.1 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Figured I'd have to re-name the subject line in order to get a response? Here's the original inquiry again: I seem to recall someone posting the procedure to "restoring" the Options for setting a desktop background (Center-Scale-Zoom-Tiles-etc) I have a friend who's Dell Inspirion laptop was on its last legs, so I assisted them in installing F18, but the feature for handling the desktop background is gone...(missing? kidnapped?) Can anyone help with what needs to be done in order to get it back? Thanks To All EGO II
