Looking to upgrade from Banshee 1.4.3-3 to 1.5.1 does anybody know if any
of the repositories have the newer version for FC11 x86_64 and if so,
which one(s).
Thanks, Jeff

Re: Linux problems with Flash in Firefox
by Hugh Caley
As I said, Roger, not everyone has this problem. I have had this same
problem on this particular hardware combination from at least FC7
onwards. I'm guessing it may be a problem with interaction with the
proprietary nvidia driver and Firefox? I have a 6200 nvidia card. I
also had the same issue with FC11 on an IBM/Lenovo laptop I had; I think
that machine had integrated Intel video. My brother in law has a box
running FC10 with an ATi 7500 and he DOESN'T have this problem at all.

Nolapro
Open source for linux, web-based interface.
Extremely flexible. Requires some expertise to install and get going
*securely* as it requires a running apache server on the main database
machine. Multi-seat by default.

HighPoint Rocket Raid Module compile FC11-failure
by Bob Hartung
Hi all,
I have a stock FC11 install with all updates applied. Dev tools is
installed. I am now trying to add a HighPoint Rocket rr2320 RAID PCI-e
RAID controller.
I have unpacked the source files into a subdirectory of user's home
directory. Upon navigating to this directory the follow is the response
to 'make'.

Any and all help appreciated. I have had no success googling this as I
am led back to High Point who provide drivers only for FC8 and earlier.

straight dope on SSL certs?
by brian
My self-signed SSL certificates (for Postfix & Cyrus-IMAP) have just
expired and so I'm faced with once again trying to decipher (heh) the
multitude of instructions for setting this up. I still have my notes
from a year ago but, though everything's been working fine (AFAIK), I'm
not convinced that what I'm doing is correct. I've read many tutorials
online but each one seems to confuse the issue further.
For one thing, before I'd even started, I'd found some cert files
already existed. I believe they were set up by the Apache rpm. In any
case, I just ignored them, as I'm not currently using SSL through
Apache. I probably will want to use it in the future, however I don't at
all understand how/why these already exist, as they couldn't possibly
contain the correct information (commonName, organizationName, etc).
So, anyway ... I'd like to create new certs and, at the same time, clear
out some of the deadwood under the /etc/pki tree and attempt to get all
of this into proper order.
This is my current setup:
/etc/postfix/main.cnf:
smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/cacert.pem
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/pki/postfix/newcert.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/pki/postfix/newkey.pem
/etc/imapd.conf:
tls_ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/cacert.pem
tls_cert_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/newcert.pem
tls_key_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/newkey.pem
I have no idea what I was thinking when putting these in separate
directories. I assume that's a redundancy I can do without.
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key
#SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-chain.crt
#SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
Here, localhost.crt and localhost.key were created by something other
than myself. I have no idea what they're good for, if not self-signed.
However, I'm guessing that I could probably create a cert/key.pem pair
and use them for Postfix, Cyrus, and Apache. Note, though, that the
httpd versions are not PEMs, so that's another source of confusion.
This is from my notes for Postfix/Cyrus:
-- snip --
# cd /etc/pki/tls/misc
./CA_noDES -newca
[creates key file in /etc/pki/CA/private/cakey.pem]
./CA_noDES -newreq
[creates newkey.pem & newreq.pem]
./CA_noDES -sign
[creates /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem]
ADD THE PRIVATE KEY
# cat /etc/pki/CA/private/cakey.pem
copy this into:
# vi /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem
# cp /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem /etc/pki/tls/certs/
-- snip --
Could/should I simply use the above instructions to create:
/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt.pem
/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key.pem
... and use these for all 3 apps?
Also, I'm not really clear (surprise, surprise) on the purpose of the
last line. Why should I copy cacert.pem from one directory to another? I
understand that the CA dir is readbale only by root. However, by copying
the file elsewhere, that security seems superfluous.

unused partition space after clonezilla move?
by Christoph Höger
Hi,
I have just moved my fedora to a newer, more power saving, larger and
faster disk.
I made up new Partitions (bigger than the old ones) and used clonezilla
for the move. This worked pretty well except for the partition space:
I have now e.g. 205GB unused space on my /home partition. How do I get
the fs to cover the whole part?
And afterwards: Is there a way to convert an ext3 into ext4 fs from the
desktop (seems it is hard to unmount /home)
regards
Christoph
