How does one remove the nvidia driver and install nouveau ?
by linux guy
I need to test my computer with the nouveau driver in order to provide
information for a bug report I contributed. Besides, I would like to
see how well the open source driver works compared to the proprietary
one.
So how does one remove the nvidia driver and install the nouveau driver
in its place ?
I recently started using akmod-nvidia. I suspect that its built and
installed an nvidia kernel module. I did a yum remove kmod-nvidia and
yum remove akmod-nvidia.
I edited xorg.conf and changed nvidia to nouveau, but I did not change
any of the module paths.
I did a modprobe nouveau. lsmod shows that its there.
I did an rmmod -w nvidia in an attempt to uninstall the module. But
when I reboot, it still runs.
Now what do I do ? Edit xorg.conf ? rmmod ? lsmod ? insmod ?

Curiosity re: Rhythmbox and CD places fix ?!?
by Bill Case
I just did a yum update; somewhere in there was the fix for Rhythmbox
finding my CD/DVD drive as well as the icon for the CD/DVD drive showing
in 'Places' on my menu. They Work.
Which downloaded update had the fixes?
Just curious. I have been watching the 'Announce List' and didn't see
any announced updates that included these fixes.

Using sftp through HTTP authenticating proxy
by Donald Russell
I'd like to use sftp to connect to a system on the outside but have to go
through an HTTP proxy.
When I try to connect, I get an error back from the proxy server saying
Authentication is required.
nc: Proxy error: "HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required"
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
The question is: How/where do I specify the userid/password for this
authentication?
I added this line to my ~/.sh/ssh_config file for the appropriate outside
host:
ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -v -X connect -x <my Proxy Server Address>:443 %h
%p
If it's any help, I can use puTTY to connect to to other outside systems,
and I go through that same proxy/port. In putty I specify my proxy
userid/password and all is well.
How do I get sftp to do that too?
I've read through man 5 ssh_config and just don't see it... and I also do
not see anything in man nc :-(
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

How to tell IP address of remote machine?
by Timothy Murphy
I had a little program which I ran each day
as a cron job to mail me the IP address of a machine
in a different country.
I give the program sm.py below;
I can't remember where I found it.
In any case, the program has ceased to work
because the site heliohost seems to have gone off-line.
I wonder if anyone knows of an alternative site
which I could substitute?
Or an alternative program?
-------------------------------------
SENDMAIL = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
import os
import socket
import urllib2
import sys
import time
tt = time.ctime()
response = urllib2.urlopen("http://darkstar.heliohost.org/ip.php")
ipaddr = response.readline().split('<')[0]
f = open("mylog.txt", "w")
f.write(ipaddr + " " + "on" + " " + tt + "\n" )
f.close()
p = os.popen("%s -t -fgayleard(a)alice.it" % SENDMAIL, "w")
p.write("To: gayleard(a)eircom.net\r\n")
p.write("From: Timothy Murphy <gayleard(a)eircom.net>\r\n")
p.write("Subject: Anghiari IP address\r\n")
p.write("\r\n")
p.write(ipaddr + "\r\n")
p.close()
sys.exit()
-------------------------------------
[tim@althea ~]$ sudo cat /etc/cron.daily/ip-address
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/python /home/tim/sm.py

External eSATA drive downgraded to 1.5Gbs
by Andy Campbell
I've noticed that an external eSATA drive I use for backups
gets downgraded to 1.5Gbs, with errors when I boot.
+ I'm running Fedora 11 (64bit ).
+ The eSATA port is from a JMicron JMB361, which is also used
for two PATA DVD drives - if that makes any difference.
+ The drive is an Icy Box - Ib-390stus-b enclosure.
+ In the BIOS, I've select AHCI.
+ I've tried booting with noapic acpi=off
+ The drive seems to work fine at 1.5GBps, but I'd
rather have the full speed its capable off.
Any ideas on the meaning of the errors ...
