FC10 and freeNX
by Jim
Has anyone installed freeNX Server on FC10, how did it go ? I'am aware
that you have to install xorg-x11-fonts-misc in FC10.
Please no guesses from those who have installed it in FC 7, 8 , it has a
different set of problems in FC10 .
I have installed it in every FC since FC6.

"Blinking lights of death" ? Netgear Switch GS108
by Aldo Foot
I have this Netgear Switch GS108 that has apparently failed. Before I
buy a new one I'd
like to know whether this is known issue with this type of unit or
Netgear hardware in
general. This unit I have is an 8-port switch.
I perused some reading here and there and they point out to faulty
capacitors in the
unit. The fault causes what they call "Blinking lights of death", that
is, all lights blink on
and off repeatedly. Unplugging the unit and plugging it back in unit
does nothing.
Any network hardware experts know about this?
TIA,
~af

Software request
by Beartooth
Could some kind soul make an rpm and put it into a repository for
gnome-format? It's at
http://live.gnome.org/gnome-format -- and there are .debs there, but
no .rpms.
It *might* (I'm told) be able to handle the trouble some of us
have been having wiping Conficker-prone M$-foulness (automount, I think)
off thumb drives.

Need help with Reboot cause
by Peter J. Stieber
This is going to sound vague, but here goes...
I have a dual opteron system that has been acting as the worldly node
for a small cluster of computers since September, 2004. The machine is
running the latest x86_64 Fedora 10 kernel that I recently loaded (April
2). The machine reboots without warning. I can't find the cause in log
files (maybe I'm not looking in the correct log).
I'm currently running memtest. If all of the tests pass, could the
community suggest other diagnostic tasks or information I could post to
help diagnose the problem?
I wish I could be more specific,
Pete

nVidia vs. ATI graphics card for fedora
by Globe Trotter
Hi,
I am ordering a souped-up workstation and I was wondering which graphics card is preferable for running fedora:
a 256 MB PCIe x16 nVidia NVS 290, Dual Monitor capable
or
a
ATI Fire GL V3600 256MB, Dual Monitor DVI Capable ATI3600
What would you suggest? I do not need huge 3-d acceleration and stuff, but want it to work well.
Please let me know if I should provide more information.
Best wishes,
Trotter

Virtualization for Beginner
by das
Hello Friends
As a member of a local linux group called GLT, a few different distros
of GNU-Linux we have to handle. One or two versions of each Fedora,
Ubuntu, and OpenSuse.
Earlier, I installed more than one Linux on the HD just for getting
some suggestion when someone is in problem. Gradually, due to the UUID
and all this is becoming problemsome. One brute way out is to rewrite
'fstab' with device-names in place of UUID-s. But people say these
days a lot of applications read the UUID-s, so this may get
problemsome.
So, after some friends suggested, I now want to go into
virtualization. And I know nothing. I have a really huge amount of HD
space, and 4GB memory. And my CPU has the virtualization flags. I am
myself using Fedora 11 Beta and I want to have virtual installations
of Ubuntu and OpenSuse on my system.
Can you people please suggest me from where to start, some good
documentation, and not too technical. We are a Linux-User group,
mainly teachers in profession.
Thanking You

The version currently in RPM Fusion's updates-testing is 2.1.4, while
the latest closed-source version is 2.2.2. Is it necessary to do
anything to convert the contents of one's ~/.VirtualBox directory to
work with the lower-numbered version? (As I recall, the update to 2.2.0
required a file format conversion.) Or can one just remove the
closed-source package, install the open-source one, and have everything
just work?
Also, for people who need the closed-source features such as guest
access to USB devices, is it possible for the closed-source version to
be in the nonfree repo?

Difference between NAT and NAPT?

In short, what is the difference? Are there any (dis)advantages of
using one over the other?

Apache Virtual Server
by Dennis Kaptain
I am playing with the Zend Framework on my laptop. In my reading of
Zend documentation it looks like Zend wants a certain directory structure
so I created:
/var/www/html/QuickStart/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/application/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/application/controllers/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/application/views/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/application/views/scripts/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/library/
/var/www/html/QuickStart/public/
The last directory 'public' wants to be the DocumentRoot
I want to set up a virtual server whose DocumentRoot is /var/www/html/QuickStart/public
my machine's name is confianza and it is running Fedora 10
[root@confianza conf]# uname -a
Linux confianza 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 23 23:37:54 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I set up /etc/hosts so both confianza and confianzazend resolve to 127.0.0.1
[root@confianza conf]# grep 127.0.0.1 /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost confianza confianzazend
My current apache web server uses /var/www/html as it's DocumentRoot and runs fine.
[root@confianza conf]# yum list installed | grep -i http
httpd.i386 2.2.11-2.fc10 installed
httpd-tools.i386 2.2.11-2.fc10 installed
jakarta-commons-httpclient.i386 1:3.1-0.3.fc10 installed
system-config-httpd.noarch 5:1.4.4-2.fc10 installed
[root@confianza conf]# yum list installed | grep -i zend
php-ZendFramework.noarch
I edited /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf as follows:
#
ServerName confianza:80
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName confianza
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
</VirtualHost>
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName confianzazend
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/QuickStart/public"
</VirtualHost>
I then restart httpd
[root@confianza html]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
I want http://confianza to return the contents of /var/www/html
I want http://confianzazend to return the contents of /var/www/html/QuickStart
What is happening is that both http://confianza and http://confianzazend are both returning the contents of /var/www/html
I've looked at several web pages and they all say the same thing, this should just work (TM). It seems simple enough yet my problem persists. What else do I need to do?
Thanks
