Re: [Spice-devel] More on virt-viewer for windows
by Fernando Lozano
Hi,
Still hoping someone takes my test results and fix the windows port. ;-)
I configured my host to accept remote tcp libvirtd connections, once
with sasl security and the seccond time without any security. Both
setups were validated by a linux client, who could connect using virsh
and virt-manager without problem. Bu then the windows port fails with
the same error message it displayed when using TLS certificates:
C:\Program Files\VirtViewer\bin>virsh -c qemu+tcp://kvmhost/system
error: Unable to set close-on-exec flag: Success
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
It looks there is a basic network client code error on the windows port,
as using different authentication schemes do not make a difference. :-(
If someone wants, I can generate libvirt debug logs and Proccess Monitor
logs for those cases, but I guess they'd show more or less the same
things as the TLS test I already sent.

installiing joomla
by Martin S
I'm trying to set up Joomla on my laptop to play around with a site I'm
planning. However SELinux seems to block write access for the installation
routine to the direcotry /var/www/html and none of the solutions I've found by
googling to allow SELinux httpd write access seems to work (installation hangs
immediately).
setenforce 0 deosn't have any effect either as far as I can tell, as I still
can't install Joomla.
Anyone successfully installed Joomla 3 on Fedora 19 please can tell how I
should proceed?

Browser question
by Roger
I'm running 3 browsers Opera, firefox and Chromium in Fedora 19
developing another drupal site.
I need to have admin and anonymous users in browsers at the same time
and find that none of the browsers allow that.
Has anyone successfully got FF or Chromium to have 2 instances open and
running two users of the same application.
How?
Thanks

Thunderbird text color -
by Bob Goodwin
I view Thunderbird meswsages on a black background with white text,
works well for my vision problems, however T-bird displays quoted text,
e.g. joe(a)xxx.com, in dark blue which I can't read unless highlighted
using a hand magnifier! Does anyone know how to change that color? I
would be happy if everything was displayed in bold white text, the
colors are without benefit "to me anyway."

I switched to KDE around F17 after trying to persevere with Gnome
Shell for a while. I really found it very similar in behaviour to
Gnome 2: applications menu, ability to put quick-start buttons and
gadgets on the taskbar. If you don't like the look you might try the
Caledonia theme that the Fedora Jam spin uses, it has less of the
cartoony appearance (though I always found after a while I just adapt
to a new look anyway).
Media handling is much the same as it was in Gnome 2, capabilities are
similar to Gnome Shell.

Which applications are Gnome, as opposed to GTK? Because it's not the
same thing. The only one I've really found so far is that I slightly
prefer EoG to Okular for image preview, and that's only on two small
irritations that haven't annoyed me enough to put in RFEs for.

GNOME Classic & Extensions
by Jorge Fábregas
Hi,
I'm running Fedora 19 & GNOME Classic Session and wondered if there was
any extension for:
- add "Open in Terminal" when you right-click on the desktop (like GNOME
2 used to)
- a workspace extension so that I could see all the workspaces on the
bottom right hand. Right now, with the classic session, I have to click
twice: activate pop-up & then choose the desired workspace. Again,
I'm looking something like the old days.
I searched the extensions website but can't find any for these.
Thanks,
Jorge

udev/network question
by Gary Artim
I have 6 nics that I'd like assigned like:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:3c", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:3d", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth1"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:54", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth2"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:5c", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth3"
# PCI device 0x8086:0x10c9 (igb)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:04", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth4"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:05", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth5"
I'm only using eth0,4, 5, but the kernel assigns the others, but keeps
assigning them in different order, like it doesn't see the udev
directives. I dont
have installed biosdevname.
I have to nurse the reboots of this server, usually ifconfig eth3
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 up since what happens is
nic-addr *:04 get gets
assigned to eth3 and *:05 gets assigned the eth4 (then reassigned by
udev to eth5). What a mess. I did read the prior post, but they dont
seem to fit
my issues, since I dont have biosudevname installed.
Any help greatly appreciated!

ssh/port forwarding - listening by multiple clients
by bruce
hi..
Trying to see if ssh/port forwarding can be used to solve a prob.
I want to have multiple clients connected to a single master server
The masterServer/app is providing data on port X
The clientNodes/apps should then listen on port X
ssh allows for port forwarding, but I can't figure out how to
accomplish this using ssh/port forwarding.
I've tried using :
ssh -L 8000:localhost:8000 bob(a)foo.com -p abc
as foo.com:abc is the vm ip/port that's the server app
I then did a test using nc
where on the serverside, i did a
nc -l 8000, and got an err msg indicating the port was already in use
port 8000 is the port the server app sends data on, and is the port
I'd like to listen on on the clientnodes/apps..
pointers/comments are more than welcome!
thanks

WHY !!! ?
by Mickey
The flash-drives that are Partition and formatted fat32 are being
changed to Read-Only file system , moving back and forth in Fedora 18 PC
and Laptop.
So the only way I can get around the problem is to format two different
Flash Drives to ext4.
Any one got any ideals as to why this is happening ?
