Gnome and KDE
by admin@kclinux.net
Has someone totally revamped KDE and Gnome in Fedora? It's like some
icons like Desktop Preferences and other apps are missing. Plus none of
the themes from gnome-look.org and kde-look.org work on this distro.

Old Crystal Sound with FC2?
by Peter Hutnick
I have a ThinkPad 600, with some old Crystal sound. FC1's version of
sndconfig picked it up just fine. system-config-sound reports no
soundcards detected. I installed the old FC1 sndconfig rpm, but the
driver model seems to have changed ;-)
Any hints?

[FC1] samba update breaks samba-vscan-clamav...
by James Kosin
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Everyone,
FYI....
I recently noticed that samba-3.0.4 breaks samba-vscan-clamav-0.3.5-1...
I fixed the problem by downloading the samba source and the
samba-vscan-clamav source and rebuilding the samba-vscan-clamav package
against the samba source. The resulting package works and fixes the
problems with samba-3.0.4 recently released.
But, now this has broken something in clamd (in the clamav package).
I've emailed the bugs list for clamav and they informed me that the fix
will be out in clamav 0.73! The error reported is "clamd[1007]:
Command parser: read() failed."
I'm considering this to be a minor issue until resolved. Which I'm
expecting soon.
I do have a compiled i386.rpm package built for anyone needing
samba-vscan-clamav recompiled for version 3.0.4 of samba.
Note: The current version of samba-vscan-clamav package will install,
but will have problems with samba. This case it errors out with
"smbd_vscan-clamav[1298]: ERROR: daemon failed with a minor error -
access to file ... denied." As a result, users no longer have access to
any files on the share.
Thanks,
James

Cisco VPN / Firewall configuration
by G-Love
All -
After much consternation, I was successfully able to install the Cisco
3000 series VPN client on my FC2 box, with kernel 2.6.7 I had some
problems connecting at first, but that was fixed with a simple addition
to my iptables config file. Here's my current problem (and seemingly my
last hurdle to getting this to work as I need):
I'm connecting to the VPN server using NAT, as I have a firewall running
on my machine. I can get to all the internal websites with no problem;
however, when I try to ssh to a machine on the internal network, it
simply hangs. When I try to ping the same machine, it times out with
the following message:
PING: unknown host <hostname.myco.com>
Then I did a little experiement. I got the IP address of the machine
that I was attempting to connect to, re-established my VPN connection,
then attempted to ssh to the machine using the IP address. Lo and
behold, it worked, and I was able to verify that I was, in fact,
connected to the machine thru my VPN connection (the 3000 series VPN
clients/concentrators allow for split tunnelling).
SO...it seems as thought name resolution does not work with the VPN
connection enabled. In fact, I can't see (ssh, ping,...) ANY machines
while the VPN connection is active. I tried pinging cnn.com, and that
resulted in the same "unknown host..." message. I'm a bit of a newbie
to firewall configurations, etc, so any help on getting this to work
would be appreciated. I guess using the IP address is an OK workaround
for now, but I'd rather not rely on this method.
Thanks.

Fedora Core 2 & VNC?
by Denny Lee
Since Fedora Core 2 does not include XFree86, are there any suggested
VNC apps that will allow me to remotely connect from my WinXP box to my
Fedora box? Or should I stick to installing XFree86 and Tight VNC?
Thanks!

Problems with Gnome and Samba after Yum...
by Karol Pluciennik
Hello,
After updating couple of packets with Yum I started to have real pain in
the ass with Gnome. When I want to log out, reset or shutdown my
computer, the screen just refreshes itself and that's it - I have to
kill Gnome to shutdown my computer! That's one problem. The second is
when I want to mount some Windows shares.
[root@troloo root]# smbclient -L 192.168.0.1 -U Administrator
Password:
Domain=[TROLOO] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790] Server=[Windows Server
2003 5.2]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
E$ Disk Default share
IPC$ IPC Remote IPC
D$ Disk Default share
G Disk
ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin
C$ Disk Default share
[root@troloo root]# smbmount //192.168.0.1/D$ /mnt/net2 -o
username=Administrator
Password:
[root@troloo root]#
The network works (it worked before...) but when I mount some share, say
D$ (hidden one) I cannot list in any way the content of the directory!
It worked pretty well before I updated system with Yum.
Can anyone give me a hint how to trace these problems? Where should I
start checking? Help, please :)

Ok, guys- what do we do with this? Should we be writing down the

'stooge' addresses, I know, but it might help authorities to know what
other machines have been compromised...
I'll go save the log somewhere...

Logitech MX700 mouse and FC2
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak
Hi all,
Has anyone gotten the Logitech MX700 wireless mouse to work with FC2? If
so, could you send me your X config file (xorg.conf or XF86Config),
modprobe.conf, and grub.conf files?
My mouse wheel won't work. (I don't care about the side buttons - I know
you need the imwheel package for those to work).
It worked before the FC1 to FC2 upgrade.

virus/worms killing a network...
by Cristiano Soares
Hi All. Im desperate to get my network back working fine. Here is my situation.
I have a FC2 server that has two NICs. The first one is connect to my ADSL router, and the other one is connected to a network that receive IPs from that server through DHCPD service, and then the FC2 do the firewall/masquerade. All the 30 machines can browse nice until 2 or maybe more machines that has virus/worms get online. Ive seeing that W32.MsBlast is the cause of most of these link down problems, but now, it looks to be more than just w32.msblast. My queston is: IS THAT POSSIBLE TO INSTALL A SOFTWARE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE FC2 SERVER TO PREVENT OR AT LEAST TO DETECT (by IP number) THE MACHINES THAT HAS THE VIRUS, SO IT DOENST KILL MY CONNECTION. Thanks in advance.

Parted 'incompatible feature'
by Robert
I have a hard drive on this FC1 box that is in bad need of a partition
resizing. The partition in question was to have been my FC2 / partition
until I decided to wait for FC3. Unfortunately, I had copied a lot of
archived files into my FC2 home directory before abandoning FC2. I had a
plan that would have resulted in the archived files winding up in their
own partition until after I wipe FC2 off the drive.
So, I first checked the drive usage:
[rj@mavis rj]$ df /mnt/hdb
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb2 156436456 31645468 116844436 22% /mnt/hdb
[rj@mavis rj]$ umount /mnt/hdb
And decided to resize hdb2 to 25% of its present size:
[root@mavis root]# parted /dev/hdb

And THAT is where my project stands. I've checked man parted, info parted and the online docs at www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_mono/parted.html#SEC25 and the only restriction I find for resizing ext2/ext3 partitions is that the new start must be the same as the old start.
As can be seen above, parted is ver 1.6.3 Besides that
