Re: Maxtor One Touch III with Fedora Core

/dev/sdc is the disk itself, not the partition. It should probably be either
/dev/sdc1 or /dev/sdc5 (it will be 5 if it was an extended partition rather than
a primary one).
Running fdisk -l (with the disk plugged in :-) should tell you which partition is ext3
on it now.

Warning light on Fedora System
by WGregory
Thanks to the list, I am now able to play an audio sound and recording
from my Fedora 5 box to warn out our night crew of a problem (play
[filename].wav/ogg). I also would like to connect a warning light or
strobe to the system to provide visual warning. In addition to lan, I
have serial and usb ports available on my system.
Does anyone know of such a product? And how to trigger it to alert from
Fedora? Needless to say, also need way to turn if off from the Fedora.

Can't Gedit anymore
by George Hare
Hi All,
I used to su gedit all the time to make any changes to files that required
me to be root. I used to get this warning also
(gedit:3880): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
but it would still work. Now it stopped working. Gedit just freezes. I have
done many things since last use, so I would not have a clue how to fix this.
I am using Fedora6 64bit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
(exept for , "use vi").
Many Thanks,
George Hare

Evolution user settings directory
by Dan Track
Hi
I'm getting this annoying problem with my settings, so I'd like to
trash all my evolution settings. Now I naturally assumed the settings
are in ~/.evolution but it miraculously keeps returning. Could
somebody tell me where it keeps the settings in gnome for me to trash.
I'm running FC 6.
Thanks
Dan

Port 8000
by Eli Barzilay
I noticed that something is listening on port 8000, but I can't find
out what. All I've seen is that netcat-ting to it almost always
closes the connection after reading 12 bytes. Does anybody know
what's listening on that port? Is there a way to find out? (I tried
netstat and lsof, no useful information there.)

Installing to and booting from external USB hard drive
by linux
I have a Maxtor One Touch III, external USB, drive which I wish to use
as my sole hard drive on my Fedora Core 6 machine. Can I simply remove
all my hard drives from the machine, plug in the Maxtor One Touch then
proceed with installation as usual to achieve this?
