Fw: Problems with my mouse
by Pablo
Hi everybody.
I really need help with this. And I don´t know what to do now.
I´m running Fedora Core 2 on my computer and recently I've purchased a USB
wireless keyboard + mouse. Both, keyboard and mouse are working. The
keyboard has no problem. I can move the curson with mouse but ... there´s no
click!!! Neither the buttons are working nor the scroll wheel.
There is no BIOS missconfiguration and the mouse is working right in the
same wachine with Windoshit XP.
I even tryed all possible configurations with system-config-mouse.
What can I do with that? Is there any driver outta there? I couldn´t find
it.
So.. please I need some help!
This is the 2nd mail I write. I´m sorry for that but I´m in a big trouble
'cause I can´t use the system without it.
THANX.
Pablo.

High availability, load sharing and clustering
by Mark
Hi everybody,
Am am trying to setup a server cluster using the ultramonkey. It's a bundle
of open-source solutions and contains heartbeat for failover, redundancy and
virtual IP management as well as ldirectord for load balancing and pooling.
It works pretty well, but sometimes I get some weird problems like
ldirectord shutting down after receiving an XCPU signal or heartbeat
detecting dead ping groups for no reason...
What are you guys using? Anything out there that's better/more
reliable/different that you prefer, and if so why do you prefer it?
Thanks,
MARK

enabling ip6tables in FC1
by Dev Pramil
Hi Everyone
I am using FC1 with the custom built 2.4.26 kernel. I recompiled the kernel enabling all the modules in the IPv6 netfilter (like the userspace queuing via netlink, ip6 tables support etc). I have the following modules in the /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/net/ipv6/netfilter
ip6_queue.o, ip6table_filter.o, ip6_tables.o, ip6table_mangle.o, ip6_tables.o, ip6t_ah.o, ip6t_dst.o, ip6t_esp.o, ip6t_eui64.o, ip6t_frag.o, ip6t_hbh.o, ip6t_hl.o, ip6t_ipv6header.o, ip6t_length.o, ip6t_limit.o, ip6t_LOG.o, ip6t_mac.o, ip6t_mark.o, ip6t_MARK.o, ip6t_multiport.o, ip6t_owner.o, ip6t_rt.o
However i find the ip6table missing in my system. I find iptables in my /sbin but NOT ip6tables. When i do "service ip6tables start" i get "ip6tables: unrecognized service"
Any suggestions to enable ip6tables. Does there exists an rpm for ip6tables. If so where can i download the rpm or the source code?
Regards
Dev

Moving users from FC1 to FC2
by Charles Layno
I am moving a server from an old PII that is running FC1 to a new Dell
Server that I have installed FC2 on. I am trying to move the users and
their passwords over to the new Dell FC2 server so I don't have to pee
them off by having all off them enter new passwords, but I am failing.
If you would rather not post on the list how to do it for security
reasons, please feel free to email me direct at clayno(a)w4cl.net
Thanks

usbautocam only as root?
by Dalibor Malek
Hello Andy,
we talked a while ago about your usbautocam Script (which is absolutely
great).
I have one question to this script.
Is it really only possible to run that script as root?
I made a user with standard rights and run the script but when I try to
add a stick I get a failure message.
And then if I plug the stick in or out nothing happens.
When I do this as root its working fine.
Is it possible to run the script as normal user or if not is it possible
to auto login as root?
Thank you for your answer.
Dalibor Malek
P.S. I'm running FC2 with kernel-2.6.7-1.501.i586, on a VIA Eden Box.

How to stop smb errors
by Gerry Doris
I keep getting flooded with the following error messages:
smbd[8874]: getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not
connected
smbd[8874]: read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection
reset by peer
I can't figure out how to stop these smb errors short of shutting down
samba. I have both an XP and Win2000 system on my network and assume
they're causing the errors. These systems have been configured by the
IT guys where I work and have a number of security items enabled.
However, everything that is supposed to work does. I just don't want to
see these messages cluttering up my log files anymore.
My smb.conf file is pretty standard. This system is neither a domain or
preferred master nor is wins support turned on. I really use samba on
this system so the Win systems can print.

10/100 ethernet settings
by Andrew Konosky
I have a home network with 2 computers on a linksys router with linksys
NICs. Under windows 98 I had to manually configure it to use 100mbps
since it defaukted to 10. The router's LED to my computer is yellow,
which means it's at 10mbps right now. How do I configure Fedora to use
100mbps also?

OT: Anyone managed to install Gentoo Under VMware (in FC2)?
by Ow Mun Heng
Guys,
I know this is off-topic. But I would like to play around with Gentoo
under a sandbox environment.
I currently tried to install Gentoo (2004.1) under FC2 with VNware
4.5.2-8848.
I've looked a 2 websites that detailed how they did it but for some
reason, mine doesn't work. I've tried both SCSI and IDE virtual drives.
Once booted into Gentoo, I do a fdisk, it will tell me that the disk is
not initialised and then I do a "w" and after that, I reboot, (nothing
else), then VMware will just hang there and do nothing else.
I even tried installing it all the way to the end but it proved to be
pointless.
Anyone has a clue??

Fail to start Gnome environment
by Stephen Liu
Hi all folks,
Fedora Core 2
(upgrade from RH8.0)
After upgrade I tried several days uabling to start
Gnome environment, having played around with following
steps without a solution.
Remark:
On GUI login Session to start Gnome, it appeared as
KDE theme, all gnome applications not found including
Gnome-start (big foot). Right-click on the bottom
menu bar -> Add, still could not find
Gnome-applications
1)
Renamed all
following directories ~/
.gnome
.gnome2
.gnome_private
.gnome2_private
.gnome-desktop
as .old and Relogin Gnome (including rebooted PC).
Still could not start Gnome environment. A new set of
directories generated except ~/.gnome-desktop which
could not be found after reboot or relogin
2)
Started init 3 and login as USER
$ startx
Started KDE desktop straightwards
3)
Started 'Failsave_terminal) as USER
$ gnome-session
Also started KDE theme as login Gnome-session
mentioned above.
4)
Could not find
~/user/.xinitrc
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.gnome
whereis and locate commands could not find
'xinitrc.gnome'
$ ls /etc/X11/xinit/
Xclients
xinitrc
xinitrc.d
Google search could not brought a right solution.
Kindly advise. TIA
