Import Evolution Calendar to Palm Pilot?
by Sean Carlos
Has anyone been able to import a calendar in Evolution into a Palm Pilot
using FC5? If so, using which tools?
I can import tasks and contacts, but the calendar is ignored when using
the standard gpilot app. I also tried multisync + libopensync from
extras, but it is not at all clear how to get the Palm plugin to
recognize the pilot.

dhcp issue
by Oluwagbenga Shobowale
Hi all,
I just upgrade to FC5 before then I had 2 NIC in one with static IP
and other on DHCP, however after the upgrade my machine can't seem to
up up an IP from the modem...I Check the card its configured properly
and the one with a static IP works fine...I put the link on a windows
machine and it work..hence I think FC is having a problem with
DHCP..any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Re: bash tool - line not available,
by Nicholas Adrian Suppiah
Thanks Todd,
The command
alias line="head -n1 $@"
should work but there goes another great linux tool to process all lines
of a file without sed or awk.

Desktop system PCI wireless solution
by Jay Cliburn
I need a PCI-based wireless adapter for a Fedora desktop system.
This thread discusses it to a point, unfortunately, however, I never saw
that the OP was successful in getting his PCI wireless card working in
Fedora.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&m=115638433316282&w=2
One respondent (Thurfir) indicated success with an Asus WL-330G, which
appears to the OS as a wired device. (Thurfir, if you're reading this,
what driver does Fedora use for the device?)
I'd like any recommendation for a PCI-based wireless device that works
in Fedora, preferably without ndiswrapper, but if you have an adapter
working with ndiswrapper in a desktop system, I'd like to know that, too.
Thanks,
Jay

XSLT extension of php
by Gianfranco Durin
Hi all,
does anybody know if there is a way to have the xslt extension of php
under fedora?
I need to use it installing the nice tool of biborb
(http://biborb.glymn.net/) which enables me to make bib files trough the
web.
I see there are no rpm, and that the request is to recompile php with
some options. I found an rpm ( php-xslt-4.3.4-2sls.i586.rpm ) which
sounds nice, but it requires php432 (means nothing to me...).
Can someone suggest me a way?
Thank you in advance

LDAP/nsswitch/boot issues
by Steve Tate
Hello helpful people --
I'm having an issue that I hope you can help me with. This must be a
common problem, but I can't find anything about it -- maybe I'm not
making the right google queries...
Here's the situation: I've moved user info for a LAN to an LDAP
server (I was using NIS). Everything works just great except one
thing: booting up the server. The server has ldap listed in the
nsswitch.conf, but the boot order is killing me. It reboots and tries
to start up named before the LDAP server, and it hangs -- I'm guessing
it's trying to map uids and is looking for the LDAP server, can't
connect (because it's not up yet), and then hangs (it might come back
eventually, but the longest I let it sit there before rebooting was
about 3 minutes).
I tried moving the startup for ldap before named -- no luck -- this
time the ldap startup hung for some reason.
Here's my current, ugly workaround: I've got two nsswitch.conf files
- nsswitch.conf.ldap and nsswitch.conf.local (with all ldap references
removed). In /etc/rc.sysinit, as soon as the root fs is remount r/w
I link nsswitch.conf to nsswitch.conf.local. Then in the ldap
startup script, I link nsswitch.conf to nsswitch.conf.ldap once the
ldap server is up. Now everything boots up just great, but that seems
like a pretty ugly hack to me.
I must be missing something pretty basic here, because this must be a
pretty common setup (LDAP server using the LDAP user database).
What's the "right" way to do this?

gnome-alsamixer for fc5/x86_64 ??? (help)
by William W. Austin
I recently added an x86_64 (AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor
4600+) system and in setting it up, I now have most things working
pretty much as I wanted. I'm setting this system up for someone to
take off to college and I have (almost) made it just under the wire on
time.
However, I have not been able to find a gnome-alsamixer for this box
and attempting to build it from the fc3 src.rpm fails (this is the last
version from the fc3 freshrpms directory).
A web search has not proved very successful - has anyone got gnome-
alsamixer working on an fc/x86_64 box? A pointer to a src.rpm (or
x86_64 rpm) would be very useful. Yes, I looked in the archives, but I
didn't find it... sorry. I would go into the code and fix the problem
causing the build to fail, but I have only about 2 days left until I
have to send this system off to school with my son and I have too many
other things left to do in that time.
Thanks in advance

What are /net and /srv and /misc for?
by Tom Horsley
I see /net was created by something on my FC5 system,
but it isn't owned by any rpm and it is empty.
I see /srv (another empty directory) is owned by
the filesystem-2.3.7-1.2.1 rpm, and /misc
is owned by autofs-4.1.4-29
I'm setting up backups for my system and wondering if
these guys need backing up (I already know I probably
shouldn't fool with /proc, /sys, and /dev).
Speaking of backups, the only way I've though of
to exclude NFS and cdrom and such is to go through
the output from "mount" and build rsync exclude
patterns for all non-local hard disk mounts.
Is there an easier way to tell rsync "only
local hard disks"?
