KDE 3.2

I've been trying to get apt configured so that I can upgrade to KDE 3.2. I've
tried following the instructions on the KDE Red Hat pages but keep getting a
failed message when updating the package lists with apt. Any help would be
appreciated.

Re: Fedora core 1 sendmail problems
by Homer Sapions
Alexander has come to the conclusion, as I had, that the problem is not
sendmail itself. He has been giving me substantial amounts of advice in
email and has looked over some of my configs and thinks they are ok. During
part of my debugging today, I decided to try procmail as well, and it
suffers from the same problem. I can send mail, but not receive. I had
tcpdump running all day, and could see Alexander trying to get to me. He
would not get an immediate disconnect, but it seemed to timeout. During this
time, my server was sending SYN,ACK pairs, but they apparently never got
back to him.
The weird thing here, is that all web traffic works fine. Surely if there
was a netmask problem of any sort, I would have the same problem - users
would connect to one of my 4 or 5 virtual web servers running under apache,
and not get anything back? All http traffic works fine, as do CGI script,
Squirrelmail etc.
I'll try a few more ideas and post my findings when I get it working. It
will be when, and not if!
Alexander deserves a public thanks for spending a LOT of time in emails with
me trying to help resolve the problem, he gave me a lot of help, but as he
said, remotely, it's very hard to diagnose a problem like this.
Unfortnately, the weekend is almost over, and I have to go to work tomorro,
so I'll try this again over the next few days.

Samba problem
by Steven J. Brown (NY)
I have desktop computers running Windows 2000 at 2 locations (one in New
York, the other in New Jersey). Both are on the same network. I have a
notebook computer running Fedora Core. I can ping the other computers
from the notebook. I can also remotely control them using various VNC
clients. However, my problem is with mounting the shared drives of the
desktop computers on my notebook. Only the computer at the location
where I connect my notebook can be mounted. The distant computer gives
me an 'SMB connection failed' error message.
lines from /etc/fstab (passwords fake):
//sbrown/C$ /home/sbrown/ny smbfs
username=sbrown,password=abcdefg,rw
//sbrownvldc/D$ /home/sbrown/nj smbfs
username=sbrown,password=abcdefg,rw
Using the mount command at the command line also fails.
Any help would be appreciated.

Modifying Sendmail rc script
by Al Sparks
I'm rolling my own sendmail, and I'm trying to modify a sendmail init
script set up for RH.
I want to add
daemon sendmail �Ac �q5m
to the already inserted
daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q1h
So I modified the sendmail startup with:
start() {
# Start daemons.
daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q1h
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/sendmail
# return $RETVAL
daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail -Ac -q5m
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/sendmail
return $RETVAL
}
But of course, when I use the same script to stop the process, it only
stops the
/usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q1h
process.
I figure the cleanest way to make this work is to get both processes
in
/var/run/sendmail.pid
The comments inside the /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions seem to imply that
you can have 2 processes inside sendmail.pid for killproc to act on.
Suggestions?

Re: Print server
by Brian Johnson
We have thin clients running LTSP that work great as print servers.
I have them booting off floppies and then getting the kernel image from the
server
Once the server is configured, setting up additional thin clients and remote x
terminals is easy (gui configuration is a bit harder)

I use cups for printing on our linux desktop pc's, but the print servers are
running lpr or lprng. They get along well as long as you remember on the
client pc to click on the strict RFC 1197 option in the printer settings.
We currently have 4 print servers running Redhat 6.2 and LPR and 2 print
servers running 7.3 and LPRNG. The big advantage is that lprng will stay up
even if one of the print queues goes down where on LPR it is possible to
crash all print queues by just messing up one of them.

nvidia and XFree86-Mesa-libGL --- any changes?
by Clint Harshaw
I searched the archive and the artoo faq regarding the old issue with
nvidia and XFree86-Mesa-libGL, but didn't find a definitive answer to
the following (long-winded) question:
I am using the instructions found at the artoo site to install the
livna.org rpm:
yum install kernel-module-nvidia-`(rpm -q
--queryformat="%{version}-%{release}\n" kernel | tail -n 1)`
Before doing this installation, I used to use the alternate instructions
found at the artoo site
(http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/custom_nvidia.html). I would also have to
carry out:
rpm -e XFree86-Mesa-libGL
The faq there says that "The need to do this should soon be eliminated
-- watch this FAQ or the fedora-list."
I checked the archive for XFree86-Mesa-libGL but have not found anything
posted relative to this since Nov '03.
Has the need to do "rpm -e XFree86-Mesa-libGL" been eliminated with the
livna.org rpms?
Thanks,
Clint
