is there any mp3 manager for linux?
by Deepak
Hi,
I have around 40GB full of mp3s. Right now I am using
xmms in FC4. My problem is searching a particular mp3.
$ ls -R | grep "name".mp3 doesn't work because some
are ripped with filenames like "AudioTrack 01.mp3"
etc. but these files have ID3 tags already there when
it was used with windows media player before.
Is there a utility or addons for xmms (like those in
media player, winamp etc.) or separate program, which
can manage all those mp3 based on Album,Year, Gnere
etc.?
Thanks!

Captive Environment
by GaryCarr
We would like to set up an account with a limited, captive
environment. Basically we want the account to run an application when
a user logs into it, and limit the user to only interacting with the
application program.
Any ideas, or suggestions about where to look for information on
doing something like this?

CD stopped working under FC3...
by magicus
Hi,
This has me puzzled, I can no longer play CDs on my FC3 box. Putting a CD into
the drive seems to just spin it with the access light flashing and after a while
nothing. The last time I used it (probably last week) it brought up Gnome-CD
and played fine. All updates are current. AFAIK I have not changed anything
(intentionally).
TIA
ciao,
furlan

Issues using a USB mouse with X/Gnome?
by Philip Prindeville
I'm using FC3, with a Logitech Wireless Comfort Duo keyboard/mouse
combination, through an IOGear IGS1734 VGA/USB KVM.
The issue is the following. When I move the mouse, do an up/down
mouse click, and then move the mouse, sometimes X (or Gnome)
gets a little confused and thinks I'm doing a drag-and-drop (as if it
saw the down-move-up events instead of down-up-move events
coming from the mouse).
Is this a common problem? Is there a simple fix like tweaking a
threshold, etc. that I could make that would eliminate this occasional
but irritating problem?
Thanks,
-Philip

Sudden problem with LAN access to some of the net
by Claude Jones
This problem has so stumped me I don't know if I can fairly describe it, but I
post what I can here to see if it strikes a chord with anyone else. My
scenario is an FC4 machine that is right on the net - I use this as my home
machine and it is mostly for experimentation and email. I use FWBuilder to
protect it. It serves as dhcp server to several pc's in my home all running
Windows. All has been working well for months. Two nights ago, I was trying
to get bittorrent to work and was experimenting with opening various ports.
That same night I did some updates. That's a poor description, I realize, but
it is just to set the stage. The next morning, two of the pc's on my Lan had
lost some of their connectivity. My wife's laptop, for example, couldn't get
email or run messenger - just returned 'couldn't connect' messages. However,
she could still browse websites. Similar problems with a second pc that I
don't have much access to, so I can't be specific but, he couldn't get mail.
Two other pc's continued to function normally. I fired up an old laptop I
keep here for testing, and it connected and all functions worked.
So -- dhcp is working - the problem machines are getting valid addresses -
they continue to have some functionality
I suspect an issue with DNS - I had set up a DNS server on my FC4 box months
ago, and it has been working well - dhcp gives out 127.0.0.1 as the dns
server to the lan machines - what I did to fix the problem was to change that
entry in dhcp to my isp's DNS server - presto, things started working...
So, any ideas on what I could have broken with my DNS configuration?

Monitoring file integrity with FC4 - Tripwire??
by Hahnel William J (CI)
I'm looking for a mechanism to monitor the integrity of critical files on my
FC4 servers. I understand Tripwire is the application to do it but I am
having no success getting it set up. I downloaded the source from
SourceForge but can not follow how to set it up. I could not locate an RPM
for the application.
Any help getting something set up would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

CPU load monitor - kcpuload available for FC4?
by Claude Jones
I'm looking for an rpm or source for kcpuload - does anyone have this working
for FC4? I like it because it's simple, loads in the systray, and does one
thing, show CPU activity; it does this quite nicely for SMP machines, which
is what I need it for. I've hunted around one but I can't seem to find
anything except for Debian - if anyone knows of an alternative, I would also
be interested.

Sendmail delays
by Grant Ozolins
Hi List,
Quite often when I try to send mail from either PHP or mutt (and
probably other processes too), it takes Sendmail some multiple of 5
seconds to accept the email and let the calling process get on with
things, i.e. 30, 35, 45, 55 seconds to accept the mail.
My system is based around FC3-minimal on a dual opteron 244 box
I'm using the stock sendmail.mc file except that I have
dnlFEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
and
dnlDAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
Commented. I initially thought this might be a greet_pause type thing,
but it's not actually implemented.
Any pointers towards relevant info or suggestions would be very
gratefully appreciated.
Cheers,
