Sorry about top posting. Bbm won't allow bottom posts. Thanks will try it out.

You can still access the sites by ip but dns for things like www.google.com won't work. The sites added must be static ips or that won't work in which case a caching DNS and some restrictions can be done but more of a headache. ________________________________________ From: users-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org [users-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org] On Behalf Of davidschaak1(a)mobilicity.blackberry.com [davidschaak1(a)mobilicity.blackberry.com] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 8:11 AM To: Community support for Fedora users Subject: Restricting browsers to only listed websites Is there a way to allow a machine on the network to only access a small list of websites? I have a fedora 17 machine that is hooked to a tv that I only want to access a couple of sites for movies. This is accessible to everyone and is only to be used as stated. I need the network up. A Cisco router is between the machine and the net that I do not want to reset. (Unauthorized to do so). Any help on this would be appreciated.

systemd Unit - Modifying IPv4 parameters
by Tony Su 09 May '13

09 May '13

In the "old days" edits were made directly to the appropriate file /proc/net/ipv4/... With current systemd (running systemd v202), the entire IPv4 branch appears to have been replaced. Need guidance - How to configure/re-configure the TCP/IP Congestion Control algorithm - How to specify custom value for TCP/IP buffers, etc TIA, Tony

F18 on Raspberry Pi
by MLists 09 May '13

09 May '13

Just wondering if anyone has any hints/tips on getting Fedora 18 up and running on a Raspberry Pi (specifically the latest 2.0 model B 512M version). I've tried about 4 different tutorials scattered around the net to copy the dist onto the SD card, about a half dozen different SD cards. Also tried a couple of preinstalled ones from eBay just in case I was doing something stupid. Also tried about 3 different Raspberry Pi's. In all cases I get nothing... apply power and just get a black screen. Have tried a couple of other distros and they all seem to boot up right away the first time. I'd prefer to be using Fedora since I'm far more familiar with it, but I'm at wit's end trying to get it to work. Cheers, >>>>> Mike <<<<<

Fwd: Fedora 18 basic functionality install question

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: soko.tica <soko.tica(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, May 8, 2013 at 7:47 AM Subject: Re: Fedora 18 basic functionality install question To: poma <pomidorabelisima(a)gmail.com> Wow! Many, many thanks. Really. Everything went as you wrote, but the last step failed - there is no signature. This is UEFI boot enabled, dual booting F18 and Win8 (it that's what the missing signature error is referring to). Attached is a cleaned typescript2.txt showing errors (I didn't start it from the beginning, sorry, but everything went exactly as you wrote). I'll wait for your reply before I give up and try to reinstall kernel.

Two HDs
by Bill Kuns 08 May '13

08 May '13

Dear Helpers: I have installed two 1 TB Hard Drives in my new system. Only one of the two is recognized by Fedora. They are WD1002FAEX drives. When I asked Western Digital for assistance, their "help" wasn't much help. They reported this difficulty was the result of a "Signature Collision". Then,. they gave me instructions on how to clear the error in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. None of those is going to work under Fedora. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks, -- Bill Kuns <am497(a)CyberMesa.com>

f18 audio problems
by Mike Wright 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hi all, My f18-xfce install has serious bugs in its audio programs. 1) There is no volume control popup. The only way to view the audio level is to use the application's Multimedia->Audio Mixer and/or Multimedia->Volume Control. On Audio Mixer the Master control responds to the keyboard volume controls. On Volume Control->Output Devices also responds. Panel applet Audio Mixer seems to off in a world of its own. 2) Panel applet Audio Mixer (different than Multimedia->Audio Mixer) disappears on mouse out even when set to "Always on Top". 3) Multimedia->Audio Mixer->Master when moved to zero volume via the mouse causes Mute on both Multimedia->Audio Mixer and Multimedia->Volume Control. Raising it leaves Multimedia->Volume Control muted. 4) Multimedia->Volume Control->Input Devices->Port->Line In volume setting have no effect. Multimedia->Audio Mixer->Line-in responds to mouse control raising and lowering the input level. 5) Line Input seems to have escaped from the rest of the audio system. While applications respond to volume adjustment Line Input remains fixed. 6) Moving any volume control to zero mutes Line Input; raising it returns it to a fixed level (all or none). 7) Occasionally the panel Audio Mixer applet does control line input volume but I have yet to determine how or what causes that to happen. This seems to be one of those situations where "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing". Anybody have any insight? Others noticed this? Thanks, Mike Wright

latest xen update breaks boot for non iommu
by Mike Wright 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hi all, The latest f18 yum update has a broken boot stanza in grub2 when booting xen. The assumption is that hardware iommu exists. If your system doesn't have hardware iommu your boot WILL fail. If you encounter this situation change the following line in grub.cfg module /xen.gz /xen.gz placeholder iommu=force to: module /xen.gz /xen.gz placeholder iommu=soft

Hi all, Just updated to kernel vmlinuz-3.8.11-200.fc18.x86_64. Needed packages are installed but it doesn't boot. 1) grub2.cfg omitted the ramdisk: /initramfs-3.8.11-200.fc18.x86_64.img 2) if I provide the ramdisk if fails to boot saying "kernel needs to be loaded first".

How to make a gnome shell extension "Click to do Alt+Tab"
by Dario Lesca 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hi, I need to create (but I'm not a javascript programmer) an extension for gnome shell that makes available a button on top bar that, when pressed, performs the function Alt + Tab and swap the window used with the previous one if pressed slowly and, if pressed quickly, swap all windows in sequence. Just alt + tab do. Can anyone help me? Many Thanks -- Dario Lesca - sip:dario@solinos.it (Inviato dal mio Linux Fedora18+Gnome3)
