sendmail howto?
by Trevor Smith
Can anyone point me to a sendmail howto that will work? I tried googling
"sendmail howto" and followed the instructions for the standalone user on the
first link found but it does not make sendmail work for me. (The symptom is
that sendmail receives messages but apparently does not send any messages out
anywhere -- I get no errors, but I can't send a message to myself at my email
hosting provider and have it actually get back to me, for example.)
I *can* send a message to mysefl at localhost and sendmail receives *that*.
And I can use fetchmail to retrieve mail from my mail hosting provider and
fetchmail delivers it to sendmail on my system, which I can then use to
retrieve it into KMail.
But I can't for the life of me, figure out how to get sendmail on my system to
accept email from the command line ('mail -s ...') or from KMail and have
that message actually get delivered anywhere other than localhost.
I set the MASQUERADE_AS(`haligonian.com')dnl
and
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
stuff in the sendmail.mc file and processed it into a sendmail.cf file and
restarted sendmail before trying. No luck. What else am I missing?

xawtv: no audio sound
by Raffi Khatchadourian
I am experiencing problems with xawtv on Fedora Core 3 with an ATI All
In Wonder 8500. I am able to receive TV video, however, with no sound.
The line-in on my sound card is operational and it seems that the
program itself is not outputting audio. Has anyone experienced similar
problems?

sound card question
by Mike Hoy
hi,
i got fedora 3 on my laptop and the sound works. but only the speakers
do. the headphones, the vol up and vol down and mute do not.
i'm wondering if alsa just isn't working well with it or is there
something else that i need to do to make these features work on my laptop.
does anybody else have any prior experience with this?
the sound card is recognized as ATI Technologies IXP150 Audio Controller.

Nautilus behavior
by Dave Roberts
I finally upgraded from FC1 to FC3, skipping FC2 along the way.
Naturally, I ran into the new, ahem, "spatial" Nautilus behavior. I just
figured I would vent here a bit and say that this interface is straight
out of 1990. This behavior sucked on the Mac, sucked on Windows 3.0, and
still sucks today. It was only suitable on the original Macintosh, ala
1984, where people had only floppy drives with a maximum of 10 folders
and about the same number of actual files. Anything beyond that, the
paradigm seriously breaks down. The guy who brought this back and then
justified it with this crap about how it's better for new users should
be taken out behind the woodshed and beaten with a thick usability
manual.
Further, I was horrified that, while there is a switch to actually turn
this behavior off and do the sensible thing, it's buried so deep down in
GConf as to be totally hidden from any mere mortal without access to
this email list. At a minimum, I would have expected a clean "disable
stupid spatial mode" checkbox in the Nautilus preferences.
Anyway, if there's some petition I could sign to tell whatever powers
that be that they really, really, really screwed this one up, please
point me at it.
And yes, I know this was covered in extreme detail several months ago.
I'm late to the party, but just needed some cathartic release.

php is not working
by jery_wang
Hello all
I'm new on the fedora world and the Core 3 and configuring php and apache under linux.
I usually configure both on windows plataforms and usually works.
With others distros i had used like suse or mandrake, i never have problems to build any php web site bcouse always work...
But then come Fedora and I was unable to run a simple script like this:
<?php
echo 'hello world';
?>
a place the file in the correct place (/var/www/html/), the same that was discribed on he conf fil from apache.
I check the file php.conf on the folder /etc/httpd/conf.d/ to b sure that the php module was loaded by apache, but now way... the problem persist
I also try this one:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello world in HTML</p>
<br>
<?php
echo 'hello world in PHP';
?>
</body>
<html>
and the result was the same...
The browser that i using is firefox 1.0 preview release (the defoult of Fedora Core3) and when i open the php file (http://localhost/testing.php) a blank page apears...
I read something about the SElinux and Apache on the fedora web site but i guess that my system is woking fine.
I also would like to get some information on how to configure the squirrel mail.
Thanks in advance for your time, any sugestions pleace let me know.

Where's my CD-ROM
by John Summerfield
I've become accustomed over many years to having a symlink at /dev/cdrom
pointing to my CD drive.
I mostly use autofs to access the drive as that avoids the need to explicitly
mount CDs, and motly also avoids having to unmount them.
autofs is configured at I expect:
[root@dugong ~]# grep cd /etc/auto.misc
cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
[root@dugong ~]#
Perhaps not perfectly considering selinux, but you get the idea.
/misc exists.
the symlink doesn't exist. However, others do:
[root@dugong ~]# ls -l /dev | grep ^l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Nov 23 21:32 core -> /proc/kcore
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 23 21:32 fb -> fb0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 23 21:32 fd -> /proc/self/fd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 23 21:33 floppy -> fd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 23 21:32 MAKEDEV -> /sbin/MAKEDEV
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 23 13:33 par0 -> lp0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 23 21:32 ram -> ram1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 23 21:32 ramdisk -> ram0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Nov 23 21:32 root
-> /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Nov 23 21:32 stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Nov 23 21:32 stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Nov 23 21:32 stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 23 21:32 systty -> tty0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 23 21:32 XOR -> null
[root@dugong ~]#
My two nahant boxes do, and the one that lacks a floppy disk also lacks the
symlink. Phew!
In this system, at CD drive is actuall a DVD-ROM drive at hdd.

Is it still necessary to remove the (xorg-x11) Mesa-libGL and
Mesa-libGLU rpm's before installing the nvidia driver.

evolution issues
by Kevin.Maguire@eso.org
Hi
I have 2 questions regarding evolution about evolution v2.x.
1) How to you completely "cleanse" a user home directory of evolution
configurations - it seems to drop config files in several places
/home/kmaguire/.evolution/...
/home/kmaguire/.gconfd/saved_state
/home/kmaguire/.gconf/apps/evolution/...
...
Just "rm -rf"-ing these directories did not work, it (gconfd-2?)
seems to remember settings.
2) Though it seems to operate fine (but i'm using only remote imap and
auth-smtp servers so dont care so much about "Local" Inboxes, Sent
folders, and so on) I see the following on startup.
(evolution:30579): camel-WARNING **: Invalid root:
'/home/me/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index'
(evolution:30579): camel-WARNING **: version: TEXT.000 (TEXT.000)
(evolution:30579): camel-WARNING **: block size: 1024 (1024) OK
(evolution:30579): camel-WARNING **: free: 0 (0 add size < 1024) OK
(evolution:30579): camel-WARNING **: last: 6144 (6144 and size: 1024) BAD
(evolution:30579): camel-WARNING **: flags: unSYNC
....
Should I worry?
My system info
$ rpm -q evolution
evolution-2.0.2-3
$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)
I am running KDE as desktop shell.

Re: Configure initial wallpapers
by Patrick
Thanks.... that was what I wanted to know.
Perhaps I didn't ask the question right. Where the images are was clear to me, but now how I can control which one are "available" in the background list.
All the images from /usr/share/backgrounds/images/ are visible "out-of-the-box" and SOME of the ones in /usr/share/backgrounds/tiles. And what I couldn't figure out (but assumed) was how a "wallpaper-list" was configured.
Now I know to look for the desktop-backgrounds-basic.xml file.
Thanks Deron!!

No, they are in /usr/share/backgrounds/images/ and /usr/share/backgrounds/tiles.
They come from the RPM packages 'desktop-backgrounds-basic' and
'desktop-backgrounds-extra' found on disc 1.

To change the default list of images(for all users) that shows up when running
the gnome-background-properties program, you need to edit the XML file:
/usr/share/gnome-wallpaper-properties/desktop-backgrounds-basic.xml
Better yet though, especially if you are just adding ADDITIONAL images,
is to create your own XML file(s) for each image collection. All you need
to do is to create an XML file of any name describing your new images
and put it into the /usr/share/gnome-wallpaper-properties/
directory...that's it.
The XML file you create should follow the general format like:
====== CUT ======
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wallpapers SYSTEM "gnome-wp-list.dtd">
<wallpapers>
<wallpaper>
<name>Your Image Title</name>
<filename>/path/to/your/image.jpg</filename>
<options>stretched</options>
<shade_type>solid</shade_type>
<pcolor>#FFFFFF</pcolor>
<scolor>#000000</scolor>
</wallpaper>
<wallpaper>
....... and so on ......
</wallpaper>
</wallpapers>

Problem with 2x512Mb DDR memory on Intel 915GAGL motherboard and Fedora Core 3
by fedora@geniushealth.com
Hello,
We have recently trialled installing Fedora Core 3 on an Intel 915GAGL
motherboard.
When the system is operated with a single bank of 512Mb RAM, the system
operates very fast, and as expected. Boot time sub 60 seconds.
Application operation runs very fast.
Installation of a second 512Mb RAM bank, so that the system can run as
1Gb RAM, processing speed drops remarkably. Boot time over 5 minutes,
and applications start to run visibly slower. (We have some custom code, consisting
of numerical simulation code writen in C, that we have timed on both systems)
Have tried disabled Hyperthreading within BIOS, but still system boots
slowly with 1Gb RAM (and the application execution times are slower by a factor of x3 to x5)
The kernel installed is the 2.6.9-1.667smp kernel that comes default as
part of Redhat Fedora Core 3 installation disks.
Are there any known issues with Redhat Fedora Core 3 on Intel 915 based
chipsets, or are there any known issues with DDR based memory systems?
Many thanks for any advice / help or pointers towards assistance in this.
Kind regards,
Andrew McGhee
