Are RWs a problem?
by Anne Wilson 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

I haven't used RW disks for ages, but since I wanted to experiment a bit, it seemed sensible. I put a CD-RW into k3b (FC4) and it erased it happily, but I can't get it to burn to the disk at all. I'm just getting messages like Error trying to open /dev/hdd exclusively ... retrying in 1 second. /usr/bin/cdrecord: Device or resource busy. Cannot open '/dev/hdd'. Cannot open SCSI driver. I did the same batch of files onto a CD-R without any problem at all. Is this a known problem? Anne

OT: New article: Let's block cracker using denyhosts
by Fajar Priyanto 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Dear all, I have written an article how to block cracker using denyhosts. This is the excerpts: Internet is a cruel world. Server owner that is always connected to the internet knows this. Crackers are always trying to hack into our server day and night, 24 hours, 365 days non-stop. How do we secure our server? There are many ways to do it, one of them is using denyhosts. With it, we can block those crackers after certain amount of failed login attempts. The article can be found at: http://linux2.arinet.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=132&Item… Knowledge belongs to everyone, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 21:26:21 up 12:02, 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4 GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

[FC4] RPM doesn't work after upgrade with odd error message
by Gilbert Sebenste 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hey gang, Just did a "yum -y update" a few hours ago on a machine with FC4. After that, whenever I type in yun (anything), I get: > yum -y update There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpm/_rpmmodule.so: undefined symbol: matchpathcon_init Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29) [GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq --- The YumFaq doesn't help me, unfortunately. Anyone have any clues?

Adding icons to GGV menu
by Nimit Dhulekar 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hello everyone I am making some changes to GGV. I have added a module that will allow you to search on PS files. I need some verification that the changes I have made aren't OS specific. I am attaching an XML file in which I have made some changes to the layout of GGV (adding extra menu icons and toolbar shortcuts). Please replace the XML file ' ggv-ui.xml' in the directory /usr/share/gnome-2.0/ui and reply back confirming whether you were able to see a menus called 'Search' and 'Add' and also toolbar icons 'Search' and 'Add Note'. If you are unable to view any changes try replacing the file ggv-ui.xml in the following directory /usr/local/share/gnome-2.0/ui I apologise for having to include the code at the end of the mail but it just wouldn't allow me to send the mail with the attachment to this mailing list. I am presently running FC3 and the changes were reflected only when the changes were made to the second path not in the first whereas my colleague who is running FC2 could see the changes after replacing the file in the first path. Your urgent replies would be highly appreciated.

My server also answers to: https://myother.domain.com. I would like to rewrite anything coming into: https://myother.domain.com/* to: https://myserver.domain.com/maint.html Is this easy? Any tips?

Re: VI editor in xterm leaves text remnants on scroll

I'm seeing similar behaviour, but with gnome-terminal. I've only had a quick look using an xterm but that seems to be OK. Ron

fglrx slower on FC5 than radeon?
by Jack Howarth 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Has anyone installed the new xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.23.7-4.lvn5 and kmod-fglrx-smp-8.23.7-4.2.6.16_1.2080_FC5 yet? I find that these drivers seem to slow the desktop performance of the machine. The glxgears rate of the fglrx driver (set with the ati-fglrx-config-display tool) is only 1500 fps compared to 1833 fps with the stock xorg radeon driver. Beyond that the fglrx driver seems to make the machine much less responsive (windows open slower, etc). Reverting back to the radeon drivers was much more usable. Also I would note that the disable feature of ati-fglrx-config-display is broken. It will set your xorg.conf to the 'ati' driver and not the 'radeon' setting that is kept in the xorg.conf.backup-ati-fglrx backup file. It also drops the... Load "dri" when you disable the fglrx driver and adds an Overlay line which wasn't in the original. If you didn't make a backup of xorg.conf before enabling the fglrx driver, you can revert back with the Display control panel. Jack

Theming grub/gdm/gnome
by wwp 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hello all, is there a Fedora-related (or not) place to find Grub themes, GDM themes and other GNOME themes? I've installed FC5, then found that the gtk-engine redmond95 is no longer installed, but would also like to get customized grub/gdm :). Any links that you would recommend? Regards, -- wwp
