configure spamassassin to only check incoming email
by Gijs
Hey list,
I'm using sendmail to handle all my incoming and outgoing email and now
I've ran into a problem related to spamassassin.
Because spamassassin also checks outgoing mail, sending outgoing mails
always takes about 3-4 seconds.
Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but my boss wants to send a
newsletter every month to quite a number of users, and this is undoable
if it takes 3-4 seconds per email.
I've tested it without spamassassin and it only took like 0.3-0.5
seconds, which is doable.
Another solution to my problem is ok as well, as long as the send-time
gets decreased to around <0.5 seconds.
Regards,
Gijs

Renamed the files in ~/.kde/share/config/ to fix. The two files found were
plasmarc and plasma-appletsrc. Thank you for your suggestion!

backing up and restoring the root partition
by Gene Czarcinski
In the past, I have always assumed that I would simply re-install if I lost my
root partition and only did backups for data partitions and home. My systems
are configured to have a boot partition, a root ("/") partition, a /home
partition, and other "my data" partitions. While I use LVM for my data
partitons, I have been using a regular disk partition for root. In the past
I have used partimage (and now partimage-ng) to backup disk partitions but
these programs do not work with LVM logical volumes.
Before I commit to putting my root partition on an LVM logical volume, I
thought I would like to try backing it up ... I have tried using dump/restore
and tar ... oh, backup/save seems to work just fine (no error message) but
restore/tar -x is NOT working.
Using restore, I get some selinux errors but not with tar -x. However, in
both cases, when I try to boot the system, I am getting errors such as not
finding /dev/root, /proc, etc.
Has anyone ever done a backup of the root partition? What program did you
use? Have you tried to restore and did it work? [or did you just trust that
it would?]
I did my testing using vmware virtuals but that should not matter. I
installed a"default" F9 installation with /boot and swap on the first scsi
virtual disk and "/" on a second scsi virtual disk in an LVM logical volume.
This system boots and runs just fine.
I first tried running from the built system by running dump against an LVM
snapshot of the root partition. In another virtual, bootup the F9 install in
Rescue mode, restore the /boot and swap partitions to the first disk, create
an LVM partition on the second disk and use pvcreate and vgcfgrestore to
setup to system to match the original one. Use restore (lots of selinux
errors) and try booting ... fails as describe above.
Next, I booted the F9 install cd in Rescue Mode and did the
dump "standalone" ... the repeated as above with the same result.
Next, use tar --xattrs -vpzcf to create my backup and try again .. save result
but the tar restore has only a few warning ... but the system does not boot.
Help! I have not lost anything yet but it sure would be nice to know that a
root partition can be backed up with something better that just using "dd" to
create a bit-by-bit image.
BTW, I am interested in an open source solution only ... I am not considering
commercial products.

Updating the background image
by Jason D. Triolo
There's a webcam image that I want to use as background wallpaper, and
have that image automatically update at a given interval. I was able to
do this with a script, up through Fedora 6. The script stopped working
from 7 and up, and I abandoned the project.
As I move to 9, I would like to get that little toy back. Downloading
the image is the easy part (the script still does that flawlessly), but
the problem comes in getting the GNOME desktop to see the changed file
and apply the change.
Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks,
Jasono

Problem Installing VMware Tools in Fedora-9
by Doyle Rhynard
I am having a problem installing VMware Tools in a Fedora-9 VM that I
created using the latest version of Workstation-6. I keep getting the
error message: "The directory of kernel headers (@@VMWARE@@ UTS RELEASE)
does not match your running kernel version (2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64)" when
it tries to patch the kernel. I have installed several previous version
of Fedora on VMware and never encountered a problem like this.
I checked that
fedora-9-x86_64-DVD/Packages/kernel-headers-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64rpm file
using "rpm -qpl" was what was installed at "/usr/include". I even made a
link under "/usr/src/linux/include" to match the directory structure
that VMware Tools was expecting, but got the same result.
I have seen several messages asking for assistance with Fedora-9
installed with VMware, so it would appear that others have been able to
do it successfully. It is quite possible that I have made some
unintentional mistake somewhere that I am unable to find.
Unfortunately, VMware does not support Fedora because it considers it to
be too experimental and unstable, which is probably accurate, especially
for version 9, so I cannot ask there. If anyone in Fedora-Land has had a
similar experience or has any ideas about how to solve this problem, let
me know.

My system was powered off accidentaly and when rebooted I no longer have the

K9copy x84 crashes
by Mick M.
Hi;
when I try to run k9copy it will crash when I try to open a DVD.
It worked fine on my other box, 32 bit.
This is an Athlon x2 64 bit.
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 13 04:54:47 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa k9copy
k9copy-1.2.2-1.lvn9.x86_64
I bring up the GUI and it shows: CDW/DVD TS-H492A (/dev/sr1)
Which is correct, with a DVD in it.
Going to settings -> "devices not detected by k9copy"
I added in the drive.
Still when the open file icon is clicked it crashes.
When run from an xterm:
[mick@localhost ~]# k9copy
kbuildsycoca running...
KCrash: Application 'k9copy' crashing...
Could not find 'drkonqi' executable.
KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly.
Nothing is added to /var/log/messages,
thanks

Why!! does End Session default to Runlevel 3
by Jim
FC8/KDE
When I do a End Session it doesn't drop to the Login Window, it goes to
Runlevel 3 (shell)
I have this problem on three FC8 boxes. And it's very annoying when you
have more that one user on a box.
