I'm in the process of weaning my wife from her M$ addiction (I'm already a Linux geek, running FC3, fully updated). She's ok with pretty much every aspect of Fedora, and the various productivity applications she needs (Open Office, JPilot, Thunderbird, etc.) There are only two things she relies on that I can't find a suitable alternative for: She uses Documents to Go to sync documents with her Palm, and PDA Safe to store private information securely on the Palm. Both of these applications are combination Palm App/Desktop App, but the desktop app for each is Windoze only. I haven't tried either of them with wine yet, as I'm I hoping there is some Linux alternative. Is there anyone out there who knows of an adequate replacement for either of these tools, or has gotten them to work under Fedora? For those interested, I started the weaning process by moving all her "My Documents" in the Windoze world to her home dir on my Fedora box. I changed the pointer of her My Documents from her local hard drive to a Samba-mount. Once she was used to her documents being in a different place, I gave her a CD to boot from. This CD will boot her machine as a thin client (ltsp/etherboot) to have a session on my FC3 box. This has been helpful so she can immerse herself in the new world, but still have her safety blanket at her fingertips, and I didn't have to make her machine dual-boot. We're at the point now where she only uses her safety blanket for Palm-related stuff. I'm ready to get her a new machine and her own fresh Fedora installation, but the two Palm apps are the only stopping point.

fedora 3, xorg and ati

by Amarpreet Rattan

hello all, i was considering giving fedora 3 a try but i have an issue. as far as i know, the ati drivers do not work with xorg-6.8 (and hence no opengl. also, i may be incorrect on this so feel free to correct me). is it possible to install xorg-6.7 with fedora 3? i just looked through the rpms in the fedora 3 packages and there was no xorg-6.7, just xorg-6.8.1. pls don't tell me to just compile xorg-6.7, when i say "is there a way to install xorg-6.7" i mean and nice easy rpm way. thanks a

Regarding MP3 support

by viraj ambetkar

Hi, I installed FC3 and still found out that MP3s are still not supported. I understand the issues involved with MP3s. However, I would like to add that MP3s need not always be pirated. Is it possible for me to play MP3s in FC3 using XMMS? I tried installing RealPlayer 10, but to no avail. I have burnt a data CD in Windows XP with MP3s. The CD is not even recognized in XMMS, RealPlayer or Noatun. I can play audio CDs just fine. Any help is greatly appreciated. FC3 lover

FC3 Where is lvm.conf on the CD iso's?

by windcrest

This is in regards to bug 141781, I'm trying to install raid1 and LVM. A friend of mine and I have look though the FC3-i386-discX.iso's and have tried to find the cd and image where the lvm.conf files resides (or gets created) so that we could change the value of md_component_detection and get LVM and raid1 working together. We have looked through the iso's and have been unable to find its location. Would anyone be able to provide me with information as to where the file is located? Thanks. bug url: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=141781 Donavan

Reverse SSH tunneling

by m g

I'm trying to set up reverse ssh tunneling between two boxes, one behind a firewall (the box I want to SSH to) and one that isn't (which is ssh'able). I've found ssh -R, but i'm wondering if there's a better way to do this than leaving my user constantly logged in to both servers ... specifically, I'm thinking that this is a security risk. Any ideas? -- MG

RE: Still no sound. I have a Dell Demension 2350 and a Intel 82801Soundcard.

by Kyle Lagonegro (Student-Lagone37)

All the sliders are off zero and unmuted, not just master volume, none are that high, but my speakers are turned up so load, the kids in the dorm building over are going to be angry when I finally here this test sound. system-config-soundcard has been ran, I think... I've been punching in so many things it's hard to keep track... I'll run it again and then give you those outputs. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces(a)redhat.com on behalf of David L Norris Sent: Mon 1/31/2005 03:02 To: fedora list Subject: Re: Still no sound.

Have you run system-config-soundcard and simply answered yes when it asks if you hear the test sound? I'm guessing maybe you have since the volume controls work. Did you turn all of the volume controls up or just the master volume? You'll need to turn up at least PCM, Master and possibly OGain if there is one. You may need to adjust other volume controls.
