Vinagre???
by Antonio M
I have two boxes, both have UltraVNC and Vinagre (Remote desktop
viewer), exactly the same packages both in F11 fully updated
When I connect from A to B both Vinagre and UltraVNC work, but when I
connect from Ato B UltraVNC works fine but in Vinagre I see the list
of remote desktops, but when I try to connect I get the message
Connection closed: The connection to host B has been closed.
Any idea??
Tnx

Fedora 11 GDM - unwanted list of all local users and impossible to customize?
by jaivuk
Hello guys,
I did not use gdm for some time and now I'm not happy how it looks in Fedora
11.
First of all - the list of local users is unacceptable from security
reasons. Even if it supports such "an " option - how it can be the default
one?!
Second problem I have is shutdown button (and possibly restart as well) -
when you click on shutdown button by mistake, system will shut - there is no
confirmation dialog.
I also tried to find some ways how to customize gdm in Fedora 11 but I did
not find any usable guide.
Can anybody please advise me how can I have prompt asking for username only
(showing last logged user at maximum) and not displaying the list of all
local users?
Also can I somehow add confirmation or remove shutdown restart buttons from
gdm screen?
Or can you please advise any alternative to gdm?
Thank you very much,
Jan

Fedora 12, Xorg, and Apex Outlook KVM, - can't nail resolution
by Styma, Robert E (Robert)
Hi,
I've been looking at this for some time in both the
archives of the list and the web in general. The problem
is that when my Fedora 12 machine is connected though the
KVM (Apex Outlook 8 port) the monitor shows up as "Unknown"
and the resolution is limited to 800x600.
If I plug the monitor directly into the machine, it resolves
just fine and I have the full range of resolutions.
I tried an number of things so far and the one which seemed
most promising was to plug the monitor directly into the
machine and go to run level 3. I then ran "xorg -configure"
which created /root/xorg.conf.new (I may be remembering the
syntax of the command incorrectly). I copied that to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and uncommented the NoDDC option with the syntax:
Option "NoDDC" "True"
Unfortunately the results are unchanged. The Xorg.0.log appears
to show that the xorg.conf file is being read, but it goes out
and probes the monitor anyway.
http://www.styma.org/xorg.conf
http://www.styma.org/Xorg.0.log
I have put the xorg.conf file and Xorg.0.log out at my web
site in the hope someone can give me a pointer on how to
make X use what I tell it in the xorg.conf file and not
do the probes itself. Note that my Fedora 6 machine, Redhat 9
machine, sparc 20, and assorted Windows machines work
fine.
I appreciate any time and help which can be offered.

Rendering chart from bootchart
by Suvayu Ali
Hi everyone,
I have been seeing very long boot times for the last few months so I ran
bootchart. But I can't render the chart after booting. The web interface
seems to be down. And the java application supplied with bootchart
generates the following error.

> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException

What seems to be wrong?

SSH tunnel for ssh traffic
by Christoph Höger
Hi,
I need to ssh to some remote VM that sit in a private LAN. For any other
service (e.g. RDP) I'd use ssh tunneling just normal.
But what do I do for ssh traffic? Since ssh is not host agnostic, it
will always complain about localhost having a different RSA key.
I just do not want to edit the known_hosts every time I need to connecto
to a new machine!
Is there some way to tell ssh to use a tunnel directly for a connection?

Hang w/ F12 or F13 Alpha
by Brian C. Huffman
All,
I'm having problems with a new system and it appears to be Linux rather than hardware since I've been running for about 2 days now with Win XP SP2 installed on the same hardware.
It's a MSI P41-C31 motherboard with an Intel Core2 Duo E7500 processor. I'm using a PCI Express SPARKLE SFPX84GS256U2LP GeForce 8400 GS video card.
I experience complete hangs (no key presses acknowledged, system not pingable) almost randomly but moreso when using Video. For example, trying to boot into graphical mode will hang almost immediately. Text console will hang within 1/2 hour or less.
I've swapped the video card with another computer (it works fine there) and also tried different power supplies and hard drives. Most recently I've installed Windows XP SP3 on the same computer and it's been running for about 2 days now without problems. So, this seems to be a linux issu.
I've tried increasing the PCI-Express bus speed from 100 to 105 and it will run a little longer before crashing with video, but appears to create some other instability. So, this is not an acceptable solution.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to resolve this? The RMA Hell is killing me. :-(
Thanks,
Brian

Nvidia - Problems with 3D acceleration
by melanie78＠gmx.at
Hi all!
I have some troubles with my 3D acceleration of my Nvidia Card GeForce
GTS 250.
My system is fedora 12 x86_64 (Kernel 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64) and I
installed the Nvidia driver (driver version 195.36.15) like described in
the fedoraforum.org via rpmfusion.
Then I installed wine and started WoW. The game starts but I have
massive graphical corruptions (so I cant see a thing on the display) and
my screen flickers every few seconds. I tried to activate Compiz, but I
have nearly the same problems like with WoW: My screen is flickering, my
mouse is very slow and also if I try to move the terminal window, it is
nearly impossible.
So I started to search for the reason.
I installed these nvidia packages:
nvidia-settings-1.0-3.4.fc12.x86_64
akmod-nvidia-195.36.15-1.fc12.x86_64
nvidia-xconfig-1.0-2.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-195.36.15-1.fc12.i686
kmod-nvidia-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64-195.36.15-1.fc12.2.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-195.36.15-1.fc12.x86_64
glxinfo | grep rendering says "direct rendering: yes"
glxinfo
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTS 250/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.2.0 NVIDIA 195.36.15
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.50 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
For me everything looks fine here.
I know glxgears is not a benchmark, but I think I have really very low
frames:
27 frames in 5.8 seconds = 22.000 FPS
132 frames in 5.0 seconds = 26.174 FPS
59 frames in 6.3 seconds = 9.335 FPS
106 frames in 6.2 seconds = 16.969 FPS
45 frames in 5.9 seconds = 7.665 FPS
45 frames in 5.4 seconds = 8.371 FPS
41 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8.120 FPS
My xorg.conf is short:
[root@Melanie X11]# cat xorg.conf
# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
I have no idea what the reason is for the bad 3D acceleration. Do you
have any suggestions for me?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Melanie

Preupgrade??
by Beartooth
Since it's late April, with F13 due next month, I presume that
preupgrade must working, or about to start working, no? But I've seen
precious few posts here about it -- and in view of the things ordinary
updates seem to've been breaking lately, I'm a little spooky.
Any word on it?
