OOo 3.2 for F12?
by Kirk Lowery
After googling around, it seems that OpenOffice 3.2 won't be
officially packaged for Fedora 12. I really would like to upgrade to
it because 3.2 now handles OpenType fonts.
Can anyone confirm that 3.2 definitely won't be packaged for F12? In
that case, what would be the best alternative? Are there reliable
third-party rpms? Or install from the tarball?
Thanks!

Re: Re: Fedora 13 install problem
by Wm_Frank Pont jr
I am trying to install only fedora on a new Dell precision T1500.
No duel boot or anything. I think the issue is that it is too
new to be included in the general support. The live Fedora 12
just dies with a black screen, The DVD Fedora 13 goes into a
"install error, sleeping forever" message. The live Fedora 13
boots with a warning on the panel about a kernel crash. The
save to HD fails most of the time and the network is down until
tg3 is rmmod, broadcom and tg3 are "modprobed." Normally my
installs are nice and boring. I hope this is just a new system
not fully understood by the Linux community.

This is an interesting read.
I personally use it only in testing, but Dobrica who wrote blog post
tried it in production.

WTH is up with this network config?
by jack craig
When I learned about ip address, the network & host portions of the IP
and the netmask to
differentiate the host & network numbers. I learned a class A addr used
a mask of 10.255.255.255.
My current domain pre-existed my arrival.
While my FC11 works fine, I was looking at this network config and found
the below!!!
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:18:FE:75:91
inet addr:10.0.0.100 Bcast:11.255.255.255 Mask:254.0.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::226:18ff:fefe:7591/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:8464483 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:8084873362 (7.5 GiB) TX bytes:8107599565 (7.5 GiB)
Interrupt:35
cat ./devices/ifcfg-eth0
# Networking Interface
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
DNS1=10.0.0.199
GATEWAY=10.0.0.129
HWADDR=00:26:18:FE:75:91
IPADDR=10.0.0.100
NETMASK=10.0.0.255
ONBOOT=yes
My question, if the ifcfg-eth0 has the right IP & Mask, why does the
ifconfig display not agree?
More, why does it work as is ???!!!

xvinfo results in "no adapters present" msg
by George R Goffe
Howdy,
I'm having trouble with my laptop. The mplayer folks say it's because Xv is not configured properly.
Here's the xvinfo output:
xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present
I'm using an external monitor but I think it's connected to the system board. lspci | grep vga gives:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5250]
Does anyone know what's going on and what I need to do to resolve this problem please?
Regards,
George...

Fedora 13 install problem
by Wm_Frank Pont jr
I have a brand new dell precision T1500.
Fedora 12 live CD fails
Fedora 13 DVD fails and "sleeps forever."
Fedora 13 live CD installed once but failed when I tried to
reinstall after losing network.
After formatting (using defaults) all seems to be going well
when I get
"An unhanded exception has occured. This is likely a bug ..."
I saved the error ... somewhere ... in a place on the live CD
I can not find.
Any help would be welcomed.

Laptops, virtualisation, and networking
by Dan Irwin
Hello,
I run Fedora 12 on my laptop, along with a couple of virtual machines.
I generally connect to my workplace via wifi or vpn. I want the
virtual machines to have access to my workplace network.
When I'm connected via wifi (or wired) this should work fine, as I can
bridge the guest network interface onto the host, and let dhcp take
care of addressing.
When I VPN in, I'm connected via pptp or ipsec. I can't see the same
bridging/dhcp working on these interfaces as wlan0 or eth0.
This leaves me with a problem. How can I treat virtual machines the
same regardless of connection method (vpn or ethernet).
I'd like to know if anyone else has faced this problem, and how they solved it.
I'm thinking my laptop might have to somehow advertise the existence
of a local non-nat rfc1918 network to my vpn server using ospf or rip.
Seems like a whole lot of overkill, not to mention the potential for
routing shenanigans.
Failing this I might have to use nat on whatever IP address my laptop
currently has. This raises the question of which interface to nat,
wlan0, eth0, ppp0, ppp1, tun0, etc.
Last resort would be to assign two interfaces to each vm, and use the
correct interface for the kind of connection, either ethernet or vpn.
Looking forward to hearing others ideas, or indeed how crazy me ideas
might be :)
Cheers,
Dan

Re: Re: Fedora 13 install problem

I must have said that wrong.
After the format, the mount failed and before the install quits
it allows me to save the error message for later examination.
I was not able to find where the information was saved on the
file system of the live cd.

mod_auth_mysql apache - multiple tables?
by Bryan Hepworth
Hi All
This is my first foray into mod_auth_mysql with apache. I'm trying to
get some things straight in my own mind, so would be grateful if someone
could tell me whether I have this figured out right...
I'm going to have multiple people connecting to httpd, but I need to
restrict access so that only certain groups can see certain data.
The thinking goes as follows: -
/var/www/html/acme
/var/www/html/widget
only acme accesses acme and widget, widget
I'm assuming I can create an acme table and a widget table and then
alter /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_auth_mysql.conf file to reflect each group
in multiple instances in that file...
<Directory /var/www/html/acme>
AuthName "MySQL group authenticated zone"
AuthType Basic
AuthMYSQLEnable on
AuthMySQLUser authuser
AuthMySQLPassword PaSsW0Rd
AuthMySQLDB acme
AuthMySQLUserTable users
AuthMySQLNameField user_name
AuthMySQLPasswordField user_passwd
AuthMySQLGroupField user_group
require group acme
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html/widget>
AuthName "MySQL group authenticated zone"
AuthType Basic
AuthMYSQLEnable on
AuthMySQLUser authuser
AuthMySQLPassword PaSsW0Rd
AuthMySQLDB widget
AuthMySQLUserTable users
AuthMySQLNameField user_name
AuthMySQLPasswordField user_passwd
AuthMySQLGroupField user_group
require group widget
</Directory>
If someone could tell me my thinking is correct and this would work I'd
be extremely grateful, likewise if my thinking is wrong! a working
example or two would also be gratefully received.
Thanks
