F9: Adobe Flash: It works, it does not work - repeating syndrome.
by Dan Thurman
I have tried in vain to get Adobe's Flash to work in FF. It does
not matter how many times I have tried installing, un-installing
the adobe flash package - it says it was installed successfully.
The problem so it appears, is flash works sometimes and sometimes
it does not. I think this may be because the default flash plugin is
actually swfdec Yes, I have libflashsupport installed as well.
Under FireFox, you can try to change the swf default under
'Preferences' - however - I am clueless as how to override
swfdec and force the default to be Adobe's Flash - attempts
to try to do so only opens up a File/Directory Dialog box
and I am clueless as to where/what directory/file needs to
be loaded - I thought it was something of a library like:
/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
but that does not seem to work.
Btw: I have no problems with F8 - works like a charm and it
does not use swfdec - but then again - that was with FF v2.0.x
Any advice?
Thanks!

Network configuration
by Chris.Wraith@barclayscapital.com
I have a Fedora 9 machine running VMware with two network interfaces,
eth0 and eth1. The first, eth0, is connected to a DMZ network and the
second, eth1 is connected to a more secure private network.
I'd like to configure Fedora's networking such that the virtual machines
have TCP/IP access to the eth0 (DMZ) and not eth1 (the private network).
Conversely, I'd also like the host machine to be able access eth1 (the
private network) but not eth0 (DMZ).
On a Windows Server host, this would be achieved by unbinding the TCP/IP
stack from the DMZ network adapter on the host, which is done by opening
the interface properties and unchecking TCP/IP. As long as the virtual
machine service remains bound to the adapter, any VMWare virtual
machines can still configure TCP/IP on this interface but the host
machine cannot. I'd like to do exactly the same on Fedora 9.
Is this possible using the network scripts in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts? Anyone done it?
Many thanks
Chris

off-topic callerID software for Linux
by Phill
Does anyone know of a good caller ID application for Linux. I use a dial-up internet connection and need something to alert me when I'm receiving a call + give me caller ID info. This is probably going to depend on the modem I assume, but any info would be helpful. Using kubuntu at the moment. Thanks in advance.

note that rpm fails also, with:
'error while loading shared libraries libplc4.so'
its a "chicken or the egg" problem, I need rpm to fix the problem and
rpm/yum...??..
are broken. Even ssh is broken on libplds4.so (all of these libraries
are part of
nspr). That's why I was saying I could try using a tarball, if my
toolchain isn't broken also.
