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.

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.

Dell Latitude D600 touchpad problem
by mikko nuotio 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

I have Dell Latitude D600, 512MB/1.4 GHz/ATI Radeon 9000/Alps GlidePoint (might be only sold in EU). The problem is I _really_ dislike Alps GlidePoint (dual, pad and stick) tapping feature. I am using Fedora core 1 (yarrow) with default Xfree86 shipped with it, and kernel 2.4.22-2135 I want to disable tapping from both stick and pad (or disable the pad) I have tried almost every possible way to disable it(I have read most of tuxmobile stuff for D600). tpconfig - I disable gpm, boot to runlevel 3 run manually "tpconfig --tapmode=0" it says ALPS tapping OFF, but when I start X tapping is still there, even using any existing mouse driver (PS/2, Alps). Does "tpconfig --tapmode=0" only affect on stick ? I also try synaptics touchpad driver for xfree86 (I had to compile it). but xfree will crash if driver not even loaded, only copied to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input (not 100% sure) at least it will crash is it is loaded. So I read more documentation and found out that when using synaptics driver with Alps glidepoint I should have 2.6 kernel to get events from this device. So is there any way disable Alps tapping with current kernel (2.4.22-2135)?

ATI All In Wonder --- Has anyone gotten TV capture to work?
by FearOfCarpet 10 Jul '04

10 Jul '04

I was wondering if anyone has gotten an ATI All in Wonder RADEON's TV capabilities working in Fedora? There is a lot of information on the net about this, but I haven't seen much for the RedHat distros. Apparently I had it working in Debian, but KDE broke before I could really use it and I ended up wiping Debian and installing Fefora on that machine. I'm really only after being able to watch live TV off the S-Video input... Any info would be appreciated- TIA

GL Kills my box?
by Adam Cooper 14 Jun '04

14 Jun '04

I have been trying to get an opengl game (vegastrike) to run on my system. However whilst i've been trying to get this to work i seem to have lost all opengl capabilities. When running any opengl app the computer immediately freezes with no output to screen. Being a relative newb i have no idea how to exit said freeze (ctrl alt F* doesn't get me anywhere) and so i have to restart. GLXGears as well as tux racer freeze as well. How can I fix this problem? Are there any logs that may be of use? I'm running Kernel 2.6 on a P4 2.6 512MB Thanks for any help. Adam
