PPPoE over WLAN
by Andreas Waldenburger
Hi there,
the network at my university requires me to first connect to the WLAN
and then use PPPoE to actually use the intertubes. Connecting to the
WLAN itself works flawlessly (*hem*), the PPPoE though is a bit
troublesome.
I first tried setting this up via the DSL tab in Gnome's NetworkManager,
but that didn't work. The connection is listed (not very surprisingly)
under the wired networks, not under the wireless ones. I tried to be
sneaky and entered my wlan-adapter's MAC address in the "wired" tab,
but that only made the entry disappear from the network listing
entirely (in the menu that you see when you left-click the
notification icon).
I did manage to set up the connection by running pppoe-setup as root.
And although I did configure it to start at system boot, this doesn't
happen. So now I have to run ifup as root every time I want to connect
to the internet. To make things more annoying the WLAN connection
disconnects somewhat frequently (lousy administration), prompting me do
do ifdown and ifup each time that happens.
Any way to have this PPPoE connection up automatically, preferably via
NetworkManager? Any help is much appreciated.

AU files are Sun audio files - I have a very large number of them on a
Sun server.
Many of those do not play well on either of 2 f7 boxen (dual-core
Athlon, if relevant - YMMV). However, so far _all_ of the ones I have
tried work find with /usr/bin/aplay which is part of the alsa-utils
package.
Good luck

Linux software for Motorola Razor phone?
by William W. Austin
This may have been answered before, but scanning the archives, I
haven't found it (sorry...).
My wife recently surprised me with a new gsm phone, a Motorola Razor.
I already had the USB cable which works with it (use it with my
camcorder), but a web search for Linux software to use the phone with
one of my Linux boxen didn't turn up anything. Basically I want to
synchronize the calendar and phonebooks, and be able to back up files
from the phone to the computer (and restore). I'm running both FC4 and
FC5 here so anything which would work with either of those would be
great - and much apprecited.
Thanks in advance,

Network problems on new FC4 box - please help.
by William W. Austin
I had to replace a disk (the one with all of the home directories on
it) on an FC3 box, and so I bought a new drive (particulars
unimportant).
To make a long story short, I decided to put FC4 on this box, and so I
installed the new drive and put the root filesystem on it. I still
have the old FC3 root drive and can boot to either for comparison...
Under FC3, I have no network problems that I can detect; however, under
FC4 there are two distinct (related? no idea) problems which have
eluded me. I have tried looking up both of these in the archives, but
have had no luck (some similar issues, but nothing exactly like either
of these unless I missed them).
Problem 1: network card goes to sleep.
This machine has 2 network cards, both on-board. The 1GB card L(Intel
82540EM) goes to the smartswitch to tolk to the local network, and does
not show any problems.
The other card (nVidia nForce2) is a 100MB card and talks to the DSL
modem. Periodically I cannot connect to the internet at all - or even
ping the DSL modem. This happens irregularly but about 5-10 times/day.
If I reboot back to FC3, the problem does not occur. Network
configurations between the two (FC3/FC4) are as identical as I can make
them. The first few times the problem occurs, sometimes retarting
networking works, but eventually a full sys reboot is the only thing
which works.
Problem 2: slow local network.
Under FC3 throughput on the LOCAL network (1GB lan) is very fast.
Under FC4, the best I have seen is ONE transfer of about 1.2 MB/s - and
throughput drops to as low as 50-75KB/s at times. Again, this does not
occur under FC3 but does under FC4. Again the same setup as nearly as
I can make it. No workaround found so far.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

F11 XKB troubles
by Beartooth
One one machine, I keep getting half a dozen popups that all
say :
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10601901
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
It doesn't say *where* to send a bug report. So I ran those
commands, and got :
[btth@Hbsk ~]$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "",
"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105+inet", "us", "",
"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
[btth@Hbsk ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = []
options = []
model =
[btth@Hbsk ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = []
options = []
model =
[btth@Hbsk ~]$
None of that means anything to me.
I tried yum remove xkb, meaning to follow it with yum install
xkb, but yum didn't find it.
I tried googling, and I tried yum whatprovides. That got me to /
usr/share/X11/xkb -- but everything in the readmes is Geek to me.
When I was working, all of us in my section had lots of what we
then called macros such as type Ctrl-b, and the machine would put
"Includes bibliographical references" into the proper field. What little
I can follow seems to say that such tricks are what XKB does; but I don't
use them now, and haven't since I retired.
Should I just remove XKB? If so, how? If not that, what?
