Turn off bash completion?
by Mike McCarty
I'd like to disable the bash "completion" feature. I've read
the info bash stuff, and I see lots of ways to specify what
happens after or during completion, but I didn't see (overlooked?)
how to turn it off. Any bash gurus out there know how to disable
it entirely?
I don't want to turn off line editing, just completion.

Encryption for NTFS in Linux
by Reuben D. Budiardja
Hello,
I have a laptop with dual boot with one NTFS partition so that both Windows
and Linux can read/write to it. I use ntfs-3g to mount the partition with
Fedora 8.
Is there any way to have encryption on that NTFS partition that works for both
Windows and Fedora 8 ? My main concern is protecting the data in case the
laptop gets stolen, etc.
I did some Google searches but haven't come up with any real lead yet.
Thank you for any respond.

Still no joy. But I'm still not sure I got it right. All of the
examples seem to demonstrate routing a particular network through a
particular interface. I only have one interface on this machine; what
I wish to do is specify a particular gateway for use for a particular
address. I tried:
any: net NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN netmask 255.255.255.255 gateway 192.168.0.3
as a guess, but nothing changed. Nothing in any log that I could find
seemed to indicate whether NetworkManager was even trying to read this
file.

[OT] Traveling Internet Access in Australia
by Sean Bruno
I'm headed to Australia next spring around ANZAC and I'm interested in
maintaining a stable internet connection while I'm on the road.
What are my options traveling around? I've seen some evidence that
there's wireless options but they appear to have download limits. Is
there anything for the traveling Linux Internet DJ that might be a bit
better for maintaining a stable connection?

ACPI messages in syslog
by Mark Haney
Well, I have to say I've had just about enough of ACPI. This last time
it nearly corrupted my entire hard drive.
Here's my problem:
For some bizarre reason the newer Fedora versions (from 7 onward), the
ACPI implementations refuse to play nice with my CPU fan (or my PS fan,
I cannot say which, /other/ than it's a fan). So, I have posted a
couple of times about these errors being logged in syslog and got no
answer, so I figure not using ACPI is fine. It leaves my fans on all
the time, but hell, it's just money, right?
Now the problem is kinda sorta rearing it's ugly head again. Even with
'noacpi' as a kernel option, I'm still getting thousands of 'ACPI: Can't
turn fan device to off' or similar being dumped into syslog after about
4 or 5 hours of this system being on. At a certain point syslog fills
up my hard drive (/var is on /, I never expected this to be a problem)
and bombs my system.
The last time this happened (last night) it corrupted / on my primary
HDD and I had to fsck it manually.
So, after a good therapy session, I'm calm enough to find out the
answers to a couple of questions:
1. Is there any way possible to stop ACPI from logging these blasted
messages, especially when I have 'noacpi' as a kernel option?
2. If that's not possible, is there anyway to make rsyslog STOP logging
at a certain size for /var/log/messages?
3. Is there any other bleeding way around this so I can stop worrying
about this silly problem?

hangs when the nfs server doesn't repond. Could you please give me an
idea what options or setups I could use to get teh booting server to
boot up and not hang on the nfs mount section?
Thanks

multibooting ppc with Mac OS 9 & X on an ancient iBook
by Joel Rees
I recently tried installing Fedora 9 on an iBook that I need to boot
both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X on. I also have some other partitioning
constraints, so I ended up with 6 partitions before I started the
Fedora 9 install.
Fedora 9 happily created lots more partitions, but then Mac OS 9 (and
X, IIRC) refused to boot. Couldn't recognize the format of the disk.
(Might have helped if I had got a 120 G HD instead of a 160 G HD?)
Also, on a separate iteration, when I tried to force the yaboot
partition to 1MB, that also apparently made the partition map
unacceptable to Mac OS 9.
I had to wipe the disks with the Mac OS 9 formatter and start again.
(Lost a day or so of my time, but no data.) Since I thought I had
time, I tried an install of just Fedora, but the current partitioning
software wouldn't create the partition for yaboot any smaller than
16MB, IIRC, and then it wouldn't install yaboot in anything bigger
than 1MB.
I am currently successfully multi-booting Mac OS 9 & X (Jaguar) and
openBSD, but openBSD is not using yaboot. I give the four-finger
salute on startup and type "boot hd:,ofwboot /bsd" at the open
firmware prompt. That doesn't really bother me, even though I have to
remember that the keyboard map is US and doesn't match the Japanese
keyboard. :-/
openBSD seems to take a little more nursing than I currently have
time for, and I am primarily interested in getting the Gimp and
openoffice.org running. Well, probably some of the edutainment stuff,
as well.
In about two weeks, one of the partitions will be freed, so I should
have three partitions to give Fedora 9, and I am thinking of trying
again. But I won't have the day or so necessary to re-build the Mac
OS 9/X sides of things if the Fedora partitioning software makes the
map unreadable to Mac OS 9 again. So, I am wondering a couple of things:
One, Is anyone is currently successfully multi-booting Mac OS 9, Mac
OS X, and Fedora 9 on any system, especially one with a boot HD
larger than 120G?
Two, would it be possible to boot with openBSD's approach, invoking
an openfirmware script on the Mac OS 9 boot disk? (I haven't been
able, yet, to untangle the web of what happened when yaboot became
usable.)
