This list's search engine not working?
by HaJo Schatz 22 May '24

22 May '24

Ever since I stumbled across this list, I seem to have major difficulties searching the archives. Say I want to see my posts to the list (they all have the same footer as below), I believe I could go to http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ and enter "HaJo" as a search string. Searching in all sections, I get 0 results. Does the search engine ignore me by some reason? BTW -- I've been posting since about June, and when showing the archives sorted by author, I do find my posts. OK, not the most helpful to search for my own posts, but I do have the same issue when searching for given topics. Any other search engine out there indexing this list reliably? Google shows 0 hits on a "site:www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/" search... -- HaJo Schatz <hajo(a)hajo.net> http://www.HaJo.Net PGP-Key: http://www.hajo.net/hajonet/keys/pgpkey_hajo.txt

Hi Michael, --- Michael Folin <michael.folin(a)donator.se> wrote: > how do I install Tomcat i fedora? > can't find it during the installation > If you mean during the installation of Fedora Core itself, then I don't think Tomcat is provided with Fedora Core (please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). This means you will probably need to download Apache Jakarta Tomcat (either binaries, or the source which you'll need to build) and install it. Hope this helps.

VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site. That site will be the place I present services to the world; httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers" and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net; if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address, and I am not opening any inbound ports. There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html ) and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth, and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail. Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to break with FC1 or FC2?

Problems with 3COM 3C900Combo
by Christian Moller 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all Fedora users, I have just joined this list. I am running the latest Fedora but I can't get my 3C900Combo networking card to work. I can see that the card is installed but no IP-address is asigned to it and I can't set it. So I think that there is a bug in that driver. Any other user out there who have a solution for this? Best regards and thanks, Christian

RAGE XL Framebuffer
by Yanick Quirion 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all I know that is not a specific question about Fedora, but I can't find answer on the kernel mailing list. Is somebody having server with integrated ATI RAGE XL video card? Is it possible to patch the kernel to support this video card? If I add VGA=791 in my grub.conf, I will have a resolution of 1024x768 which is good, but the display is very slow (especially when the screen is scrolling). If I use I this: "video=aty128fb:1024x768@70" it will not work. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 but I will try 2.6.0-test11 today. If somebody has a patch, a link or anything else that can help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

ssh and port 22 problem, cont.
by Gerhard Magnus 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Greetings! I've made some progress on troubleshooting this "ssh & port 22 problem". Here was my original post: When I try to connect from a remote machine to my one at home using ssh I get the error message "ssh: connect to host 64.146.133.1 port 22: Connection refused" -- but using ssh in the outgoing direction (i.e. from home to the remote location) works fine. Here's what's happened since: I have two machines (PuteA and PuteB) sharing an ActionTec DSL modem. The IP I was using was that of my "Gateway" ISP (64.146.133.1) -- an error. But when I used the correct, static IP address of the ActionTec (64.146.133.52) I got this message: ssh: connect to host 64.146.133.52 port22: Connection refused I thought I had port forwarding (for port 22) set correctly on the modem. For troubleshooting, my ISP advised me to run "tcpdump -n host 192.168.0.2" on PuteA, where 192.168.0.2 is the "internal" IP of PuteA. Then I logged on to the remote location from PuteB and tried to ssh from there to PuteA using the static IP address. The ssh from the remote location timed out with the same "port 22: connection refused" message. The tcpdump on Pute A gave this message: > tcpdump: listening on eth0 > 17:27:33.662753 arp who-has 192.168.0.2 tell 192.168.0.1 where 182.168.0.1 is the "internal" IP of the modem. (Sorry if I have this terminology wrong.) My ISP says the problem is the firewall on PuteA and that he doesn't do linux firewalls. Here are my replies to the people who responded to my first post: (1) "Do you have the firewall configured to deny incoming packets to port 22?" How do I check this? (2) "You need to check that sshd is running on your system." Yes. I comes up with each boot. Also "service sshd status" gives "sshd (pid 787) is running". (3) "sshd uses /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. Check that they are configured to allow your remote machine in." Both files have only commented lines. (4) "Also, if your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file has VerifyReverseMapping turned on, you will get kicked out if your remote address does not work with a reverse dns lookup." There's a "VerifyReverseMapping no" line in the file but it's been commented out. (5) "Just to be sure: when you are at home machine, try 'ssh localhost'. If this works, you probably need to check your firewall." It seems to work -- I ssh to the machine itself. (6) "This is common on every system I have ever loaded with FC2. Your iptables are blocking the connection. You can do one of the following: iptables -A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 - j ACCEPT" I tried this. The ssh to PuteA from the remote location still times out. (7) "Oh yes I also took out the REDHAT firewall entrie as I dont have a clue as to how to work with it." I've fiddled endlessly with this "system tool" at each of the three levels of security as well as using the "customize" option to set eth0 as a trusted device and to allow incoming ssh. It doesn't show the settings that actually exist. (8) "If your fedora box is connected directly to a DSL modem, you should be able to find your IP address by running ifconfig from the command line and looking for 'inet addr:' (probably under 'eth0')." eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:81:60:8E inet addr:192.168.0.4 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2184 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2005 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1122075 (1.0 Mb) TX bytes:190214 (185.7 Kb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0x3000 Could this be the problem -- the "inet addr" of 192.168.0.4? As far as I can tell, the modem is 192.168.0.1, PuteA is 192.168.0.2, and PuteB is 192.168.0.3. I haven't set anything as 192.168.0.4. (9) "nmap 64.146.133.52" (The 1598 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 23/tcp open telnet 53/tcp open domain 80/tcp open http Shouldn't ssh be here? And what's telnet doing open? The books have me scared to death of this... hackers, crackers, script kiddies, etc. Thanks for the help! Jerry Magnus

Yum on x86_64
by Gareth Bult 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi, I seem to have (finally :) ) acquired a complete(ish) / working x86_64 system .. but I'm still having trouble with a few bits, not least "yum". I get; Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Unreleased Updates Finding updated packages Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 60, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "yummain.py", line 204, in main File "clientStuff.py", line 363, in getupdatedhdrlist File "clientStuff.py", line 409, in bestversion IndexError: list index out of range [root@squizzey oddjob]# (This is a modified system [2.6.0-test11] however it seems to run well) Pointing it at mozilla's channel for SeaMonkey seems to work if I disable the default channels, however... Anyone any ideas ? (I was sort of expecting to see it say "no x86_64 updates supported yet" as opposed to a complete crash) Also, can yum pull SRPMS and rebuild them ? tia Gareth.

Hello, Can Anyone tell me how I can change the color files systems. The color blue for the "Directories" is really hard to see. Also is there a way to change the background color? Thanks
