Banshee / RhythmBox and mt-daapd
by Graeme Hilton
Hi,
I've setup up mt-daapd on my F10 server which contains my music
collection of flac and mp3 files.
On my rawhide install (I'll follow the F11 release path) I've got
Banshee and RhythmBox both installed and want to use them to access the
music collection via the mt-daapd server.
On RhythmBox I can see the files on the server but there is no artist,
album or track information beyond the filename.
Banshee won't even see the mt-daapd server. I think it's supposed to
auto-discover the server, but it doesn't seem to work.
Any one got any hints for me?

Cron-o-meter (Java application) crashes F10 KDE 4.2.2 sessions.
by linux guy
I am running cronometer 0.9.5 as downloaded from
http://spaz.ca/cronometer/ .
It ran fine with KDE 4.2 and 4.2.1. It now crashes the session with KDE
4.2.2. It looks like something is wrong with repaint. It seems fine if
the application is just open, but as soon as you move the application
window the whole desktop area starts going weird.
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
BTW: Cronometer seems to be well written and its useful for people who
want to track diet and fitness goals. I recommend that it be included in
the Fedora repositories.
Thanks for listening.

Blocking an IP for one user
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
My son is getting to that "funny" age whereby I need to keep certain
sites away from him.
Is there any way that I can block an IP address or certain keywords from
his user settings so that it doesn't matter which browser he uses, he
can't access them?
For example, I want to block the BBC websites wholesale or anything with
the words Microsoft, MSN or Hotmail in the URL - you get the idea - but
also an IP range such as 172.168.*.*

F11 - X forwarding display problem
by John
Hi all,
I recently installed F11 Preview (from live CD) on 2 of my laptops and I
cannot run X apps remotely from these machines anymore. I get a message
like: "(gedit:4221): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
localhost:10.0". That means that the app is running on the remote
machine (there's a PID) but I can't get the display on the local
machine. The F11 machines can successfully run remote X apps from any
machine that's not running F11. I've been looking for a solution for
several days and I'm getting desperate

However, I'm hesitant to kill totem. Is it involved in the download

CPU pegged for hours on end...

smartd self test never completes (Seagate 7200.12 ST31000528AS CC34)
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht
I just got a Seagate 7200.12 ST31000528AS with CC34 firmware and I
noticed that the smart self-tests never complete. 24 hours after
starting the long test still shows "90%" remaining. This system has 3
other seagate disks of various vintages and the smart tests all run at
the rate the drive says they will (randing from 1-5 hours depending on
the drive). This is the only drive that seems to get stuck. Does this
drive need to be initialized in some funny way to get it to act like a
drive of old? I've also tried the short test and the new "Conveyance
Test" and after 10 -20 minutes both tests still showed 90% remaining, so
it isn't just the long test that hangs. It is all of them.
$ smartd -a /dev/sda
Device Model: ST31000528AS
Firmware Version: CC34
User Capacity: 1,000,204,886,016 bytes
Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall]
ATA Version is: 8
ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 4
Local Time is: Sun May 31 05:51:15 2009 PDT
SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
SMART support is: Enabled
...
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Conveyance offline Aborted by host 90% 277 -
# 2 Short offline Aborted by host 90% 273 -
# 3 Extended offline Aborted by host 90% 273 -
# 4 Extended offline Interrupted (host reset) 90% 252 -
# 5 Extended offline Interrupted (host reset) 90% 219 -
# 6 Extended offline Interrupted (host reset) 90% 164 -
# 7 Extended offline Interrupted (host reset) 90% 48 -
The "aborted by host" was me stopping the tests after the one or two
minute tests ran for > 10 minutes. The extended offline was in several
of the cases the computer being rebooted after over 24 hours of the test
running.
Anyone else have one of these yet? Did you figure out how to get the
test to run?

ipv6 question
by Michael Casey
Hi
I just want to ask one big question :)
If I would have an IPv6 address [home pc, behind a router - supporting ipv6
e.g.: openwrt, ISP gives ipv6], then I can see an IPv6 address with
ifconfig, on the PC e.g.: "Z"
So that's my "very unique address". - "Z"
Can that be "seen on the internet", the "Z" address? so anyone can ping me
from outside, or do an nmap?
Or are there private addresses what the router gives to my pc.: eg.: with
ipv4 a router could give 192.168.1.10... and that IP couldn't be
pinged/nmapped from outside (More Secure???)
Because I heard that there will be no NAT with IPv6?
What will happen to e.g.: a windows xp pc using IPv6? The "C$, D$....
shares" will be visible to anyone if they know the password?
sorry for the trivial question... :S :) and thank you for any answer
