cyrus-imapd howto
by Florin Andrei
When it was more difficult, it worked: months ago, i compiled and
installed Cyrus-IMAPd on FC1 and had no issues with it.
Now, when it's simple, it does not work. On FC2, i can't convince Cyrus
to work. I can create the accounts, but Evo does not read the email
that's delivered.
Anyone using Cyrus on FC2? What were the steps you took to make it work,
after installing the RPM?

Need adivce: moving from stock IMAP server to Cyrus IMAP. How hard is it?
by Apollo's list account
My users like to keep 500 to 1000 messages in their mailboxes and
average about 500K per message (we are a talent management company, so
there is lots of multimedia being exchanged).
So far I have been running whatever came stock with FC1, so I have
Postfix with WU IMAP running in that standard UNIX mailbox mode.
Can I keep Postifix and just change it to Cyrus IMAP style mailboxes and
install Cyrus IMAP? Or do I have to start from scratch?
Fortunately I have only 10 users, so I will have to deal with about 10K
in messages and about 150 sub folders.

Moving to cyrus mail from FC1 -> FC2
by Rajko Albrecht
hi,
as seen there is not the old imapd in FC2, and it did install the cyrus-imap.
Ok, but, when I login I can not see any directory formerly created, INBOX is
missing, too.
And in documentation of cyrus I didn't find anything about that, I thought it
should run out of the box.
So: can someone give a hint, how I convert all /home/<user>/mail to cyrus,
which way I must go, that cyrus will display the INBOX for that user, and
them don't get a "permission denied" when try to create a folder?
Meanwhile I use dovecot, but there are some other problems, too. (filter via
procmail, in cyrus I would make it via sieve and so on)
Thanks

Random total lockups
by Rob Brown-Bayliss
Since I installed FC2 my machine has been randomly locking up, I suspect
it's X related as it seems to happen when I am clicking on a button
etc... But cant be 100% sure.
Has this been happening to any one else? I have updated X and changed
to the nvidia drivers, but still it is happening. so maybe not X. I
have upgraded to the 2.6.6 kernel as well, but still I get total system
lockups.

Anything better than ndiswrapper for Broadcom wireless card?
by Erik Hemdal
I fear this is an all-too-common question, but I want to verify if there's a better answer among the Fedora best.
I have a Dell TrueMobile 1450 MiniPCI card to configure for FC1. Inside, it's a Broadcom BCM94309 chipset, which Broadcom claims is their "reference implementation" for an 802.11a/b/c wireless interface. Broadcom doesn't sell it direct, so they don't provide any drivers (same deal for all their wireless devices).
I've found a reference on Google that suggests I'm stuck using ndiswrapper with the Windows driver, but it's an older reference to the BCM4301 chipset. Couldn't find any references on the Fedora archive nor the Red Hat 'broadcom-list' archive for my hardware.
Am I stuck with ndiswrapper, or are there better alternatives? Thanks for any help. Erik

Devlabel and Fstab with usb pendrive
by Darragh Bailey
Been having this problem for a while now.
Used devlabel to deal with a previous problem that depending on whether my
printer was switched on or not would affect which device my usb pendrive was
picked up as. devlabel allowed me to use a symlink to the device which it would
create and delete when the device was added removed, which meant that I could
use a consistent device name in my /etc/fstab file. This allowed me to set it
up so that any user could mount/unmount my pendrive.
my /etc/fstab file has the following entry for this device.
/dev/usb-pendrive /mnt/usb-pendrive vfat
noauto,owner,kudzu,users,noatime,gid=100,umask=002 0 0
The problem is that when updfstab is run I get the following message
cannot stat /dev/usb-pendrive: No such file or directory
which is not supprising really, since unless the pendrive is actually connected
to the machine the device entry isn't going to exist since devlabel will delete
it.
The possible solutions I can see are:
Get updfstab to ignore the entries in /etc/fstab that depend on entries that
may not exist
Get devlabel to not delete the symlink when the device is removed and instead
point it to a non used dev that will not be used by a device (/dev/null comes
to mind, but I'm sure there are others).
I can't seem to work out how to do either of the above or locate any entries on
the internet that cover the same problem.
Or is all just a case that I've added the usb pendrive incorrectly and I should
be adding it so that devlabel and updfstab will create the desired /etc/fstab
entry for me when the pendrive is plugged into the PC?

Dell Latitude D600 touchpad problem
by mikko nuotio
I have Dell Latitude D600, 512MB/1.4 GHz/ATI Radeon 9000/Alps GlidePoint
(might be only sold in EU). The problem is I _really_ dislike Alps
GlidePoint (dual, pad and stick) tapping feature.
I am using Fedora core 1 (yarrow) with default Xfree86 shipped with it,
and kernel 2.4.22-2135
I want to disable tapping from both stick and pad (or disable the pad)
I have tried almost every possible way to disable it(I have read most of
tuxmobile stuff for D600).
tpconfig - I disable gpm, boot to runlevel 3 run manually "tpconfig
--tapmode=0" it says ALPS tapping OFF, but when I start X tapping is
still there, even using any existing mouse driver (PS/2, Alps).
Does "tpconfig --tapmode=0" only affect on stick ?
I also try synaptics touchpad driver for xfree86 (I had to compile it).
but xfree will crash if driver not even loaded, only copied to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input (not 100% sure) at least it will crash is
it is loaded.
So I read more documentation and found out that when using synaptics
driver with Alps glidepoint I should have 2.6 kernel to get events from
this device.
So is there any way disable Alps tapping with current kernel
(2.4.22-2135)?

Alsa mixer settings do not appear to be initialized.
by Sam Varshavchik
I see that /etc/init.d/halt runs alsactl store to save the current mixer
settings.
I cannot find anywhere in initscript which restores the saved mixer settings
when booting. Looks like a bug.

<hangs here>
I've tried to make sure everything is terminated properly, using both
"auto" scsi termination as well as manual termination. No change.
This problem does not occur with FC1 (2.4 kernel), and I have seen
other reports of this type to the LKML related to SCSI with 2.6:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/6/5/2
and here:
http://ronmon.shacknet.nu/configs/scsi_boot_error
but no clear solution to the problem is given. Is there a
fix/workaround for this, other than "stick with 2.4"?

Tim
