FC3: Nautilus opening new windows
by Frank
I've been looking for a way to stop Nautilus from opening a new windo
for each subdirectory that I descend into, thus far without success. A
coworker is running an older version with a checkbox controlling this
behaviour in the preferences behaviour tab. The current version does
not have this option. Is there another way?
If not, can anybody suggest a more efficient graphical file browser?

Iptables and logging to the console
by Robert Spangler
Hi,
How can I stop Iptables logging to the console? I don't know where else to
look. Below are my sysctl.conf and syslog.conf files
Thanks for your help
###########################################
Here's my sysctl.conf:
# Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux
#
# For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled. See sysctl(8) and
# sysctl.conf(5) for more details.
# Controls IP packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
# Controls source route verification
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
# Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel
kernel.sysrq = 0
# Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename.
# Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications.
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
# Stop logging to the console
kernel.printk = 3 4 1 7
###########################################
###########################################
Here's my syslog.conf:
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console
#kern.* /var/log/messages
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages

where is the network "profile" script?
by Trevor Smith
I have network "profiles" set up, one for "Home" and one for "Dal" (Dal is an
abbreviation of the name of the university I attend), since there are
different wireless networks at both places and ... well, I can't really
remember why I set them up. But they work so I have left them set up.
Anyway, I noticed that when I select a network profile, one of the results is
that the /etc/hosts file gets replaced with a link to either:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/Home/hosts
or
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/Dal/hosts
That seems sensible. This would imply, though, that somewhere on my system, a
script is run when I "change profiles" that replaces the hosts file with the
version in the other profile's directory. Can anyone tell me where that
script is?
What I would *like* to do is modify the script so that it also copies a new
sendmail.cf file and then restarts sendmail. Why? Because this would allow me
to send my emails through sendmail on *my* machine, which would send through
the correct SMTP server (my ISP's when I'm at home; my web hosting provider's
when I'm at school) whenever I selected one of the different profiles.
Why the heck would I want to bother? Mostly just curiousity now to see if it
can be done.

unable to run the GUI program from the remote Linux server
by Ting-Yuan Liu
Hi,
I upgraded to the Fedora 3 several days ago, and I found that there is a
problem when I try to use any GUI programs from a Linux server.
What I did is:
1) ssh to the server under the terminal
2) run the GUI programs, e.g xdvi
3) get the error message: Error: Can't open display:
This is funny because the program will show up when I was using Fedora 2.
I try the same thing under Knoppix, and it works.
Therefore, it is not the problem in the Linux server.
It means that there is some bugs (?) in Fedora 3, or we have to change the
setting.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem please? Thanks.

FC3 Install Issue
by Usman S. Ansari
Regarding my first post
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-November/msg08668.html
For first time since installing FC3, I booted into Fedora Core 3-up
(2.6.9-1.667). This is UP kernel, my network, sound and mouse are all
working.
I have dual processor machine. P III 1 GHz with 512 MB RAM.
I booted into Fedora Core 3 (2.6.9-1.667smp) back again (to check),
mouse, network and sound stop working. Is there any known issue with
Fedora Core 3 (2.6.9-1.667smp) ?

RE: Newbie Alert :) Network Problems
by davide Richmond
Aha! After more pondering, I realized FC3 was trying to load a 3c59x when I
have a 3c55b cardbus installed. Okay...but under adapter I'm not seeing a
3Com 3c556b driver...was there an addition Network driver set I could have
installed off the cd, or time to go driver hunting?

Hi Benjamin,
FYI:
Updating via "yum update" results in boost-devel package being
REMOVED from a complete installation. The existing boost-devel-1.31.0-9
is removed but the new boost-devel-1.32.0-1 is NOT installed.
It can be installed by a "yum install boost-devel" afterwards.
It probably has something to do with these Obsoletes you put in
the packages and the way rpm/yum works:
Obsoletes: boost <= 1.31.0
Obsoletes: boost-devel <= 1.31.0
Obsoletes: boost-doc <= 1.30.2
Obsoletes: boost-python <= 1.30.2
greetings,

RE: Newbie Alert :) Network Problems
by davide Richmond
Well, I know the NIC is good, as I was using the laptop with W2k right
before I blew it out and installed FC3.
Uhm, launched Terminal and tried running lspci and it said Command not
find...where do I put the lspci command to get it to run
(warned ya I'm a newbie) :)
Hmm..any good "Fedora/RedHat Newbie" documents out there?
