USB messed up?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I have two types of USB card reader. One is an internal 7 in 1 job and
the other is an external 8 in 1 (on the laptop). Both are recognised by
hal when I run hal-device-manager, yet neither will read any cards I put
into them.
I'm using kernel 2.6.11-1.1275_FC4 on both machines with hal 0.5.1-1.
Do I need to report this as a kernel or hal bug into bugzilla?
USB printing is fine.

[Dump-announce] Dump/restore 0.4b40 released. (fwd)
by Kenneth Porter
------------ Forwarded Message ------------
Date: Monday, May 02, 2005 5:53 PM +0200
From: Stelian Pop <stelian(a)popies.net>
To: dump-announce(a)lists.sourceforge.net
Subject: [Dump-announce] Dump/restore 0.4b40 released.
Hi everybody,
A new version of dump/restore, the Linux ext2/ext3 filesystem backup
utilities has been released today.
This release features a few bug fixes and support for ext2/ext3
extended attributes (EA). For additionnal details, see the full
ChangeLog below.
You can download the new version at dump/restore's homepage:
http://dump.sourceforge.net
Enjoy,
Stelian.
Changes between versions 0.4b39 and 0.4b40 (released May 2, 2005)
=================================================================
1. Changed restore to emit warnings (instead of emitting a fatal
error) if a file (or a directory) is unavailable for a
comparision (if the user doesn't have the necessary permissions
to access it for example). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
<shiva(a)sewingwitch.com> for the bug report.
2. Re-done the 'do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes
(excluded from dump)' feature. The previous implementation
worked well for excluded directories but not for regular files.
Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva(a)sewingwitch.com> for the bug
report.
3. Fixed a bug in dump where the tape size was miscalculated when
the user used -d/-s to specify the tape characteristics. Thanks
to Philip Goisman <goisman(a)physics.arizona.edu> for reporting
the bug.
4. Fixed another bug introduced in restore with the hashtree
implementation. This one caused restore to stop saying
"removenode: non-empty directory" in some cases.
5. Added support for dumping and restoring ext2/3 extended
attributes (EA), like the access control lists (ACL) or
the security labels used by SELinux.

OOo problem - help needed!
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've created a presentation using 1.9.96 and it decided to go insane and
not allow me to save the presentation in any other format other than
swf. It would complain violently that I didn't have enough rights to
save an object. The software saved as swf and died.
While I do still have a copy as swf, the other versions began to save as
(say OOo 1.1.3 format), but then stopped, so the final file size is 0
bytes.
Is there any way to import swf back into OOo Impress?

test out latest fedora core tests and or try out other Linux
distributions with it. i am going to use the mandrake installer to
format and resize my hardrive but what should i set the two Linux
partitions as what file system? and will it be easy to delete and

after a week
by tony
Hi,
I have some lock ups still they seem to be related to Evolution. I have
updated Evolution rpms from /developpement to April 25 version. Machine
still locks up.
I have a core dump in /dev but bug buddy does not know what to do with
it.
I have tried building a new kernel - FC sources and kernel.org sources
stop at fs (different places) when using VIA C3 N options. I have build
the kernel which is running now from FC source rpms last week. It has
CPU type changed but not much else.
Cheers

Using display from server via ssh
by Mike Chambers
While ssh'ing into my server, it has minimal graphic packages installed,
and I would like to be able to use some of those and have it show on my
workstation, like system-config-namehere.
In other words, ssh into the server, run system-config-nfs and have it
show graphically onto my workstation. Do I just need to set a display
environment or something to get that to work?

Need help to install a kernel rpm with RescueCD (FC4T2)
by Christopher
Hi,
I've got a new AMD64 system which I installed FC4 test2 on. After installation
finished and rebooted the kernel just hung. It seems there is a problem with the
kernel released last week (ref: http://www.livejournal.com/users/wtogami/). I've
got hold of the latest kernel which is supposed to work (from the same link
above). I've managed to get the kernel rpm (kernel-2.6.11-1.1276_FC4.x86_64.rpm
) over to my damaged FC4T2 system (had to use a gentoo live cd, since the
rescuecd just crashed when I tried to enable network, and I could not mount the
cdrom in rescue mode). Anyway, trying to install the kernel rpm package in the
chrooted environment (chroot /mnt/sysimage) just ends up with rpm saying it
depends on initscripts and won't install.
What can I do to fix this? I need to install this kernel to boot the system.

Apache Log, passwd, "known hacks"
by Michael A. Peters
Have a server on my lan running as a yum mirror for my lan, running
rawhide. Other than the kernel, it gets updated pretty much daily.
Saw this in the log:
--------------------- httpd Begin ------------------------
1663.90 MB transfered in 1894 responses (1xx 0, 2xx 1852, 3xx 0, 4xx
42, 5xx 0)
322 Documents (3.81 MB),
1534 Archives (1449.43 MB),
12 Content pages (0.00 MB),
2 Program source files (0.00 MB),
10 CD Images (144.50 MB),
14 Other (66.15 MB)
Attempts to use 1 known hacks were logged 4 time(s)
passwd by
192.168.15.101 4 time(s)
A total of 1 sites probed the server
192.168.15.101
!!!! 2 possible successful probes
/pub/yum/fedora/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/pam_passwdqc-0.7.6-1.i386.rpm HTTP Response 200
/pub/yum/fedora/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/passwd-0.69-2.i386.rpm HTTP Response 200
A total of 7 unidentified 'other' records logged
*snip*
The server is behind a router firewall.
I do have a couple ports forwarded to it - for bittorrent (tcp) and for
ntpd (udp - this is also my lan time server) - not ports apache uses.
192.168.15.101 is my wireless router (not the router the server is
behind, the wireless does strictly my wireless clients) - what exactly
is the "known hack" it is referring to? I certainly haven't tried to
hack it, I suspect that that is a bogus entry, but I do want to make
sure someone isn't connecting through my wireless router and trying
stuff.
The "possible succesful probes" are clearly yum updates that happened to
contain the word "passwd" in the filename.
Is that something that should be filed as a false positive bug?
A password containing file would not have the mime type
application/x-rpm
