Error when changing kerberos password
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales
Hi,
I have setup my FC6 box so that users can authenticate against Active
Directory using kerberos. This is working ok.
The first time I tried to change my AD account's password, it worked fine, but
from the second time on I get the following error:
[marcelo.sales@sf002698 ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user marcelo.sales.
Kerberos 5 Password:
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
Auth error: Authentication error ()
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
This was right after I had successfully changed the password and no system
configuration was modified between the two attempts. What may be causing this
error?
Thanks,
Marcelo

Managing print queues
by James Wilkinson
Hello, all you happy people.
I'm sure I'm missing something here -- how are you supposed to manage
print queues in FC6 without dropping to a terminal?
For example, suppose you've sent something to print, realise the
printer's out of paper, and decide you'll do without the print -- how do
you cancel the job?
In a terminal, it's easy -- lpq shows you the outstanding jobs, and lprm
deletes them. Assuming it's *your* job, you don't even need to be root.
But there doesn't seem to be an obvious GUI to handle that, apart from
http://localhost:631 (the CUPS web interface).
For what it's worth, the main desktop is Gnome, but I'd be interested in
any GUI.
Thanks,
James.

Updating mplayer and possible rolling back
by Dotan Cohen
I recently had a nice hard two-day battle getting mplayer functioning
correctly by mixing and matching repos. Yum desperatly wants to update
my freshrpms mplayer installation with new packages from livna, that
had failed me in the past. So I'm updating the system with
"--exclude=mplayer*" to preserve my installation.
Is there a way that I can _try_ the new livna packages and rollback if
they don't work? I don't want to go through the repo soup again, yet
the freshrpms mplayer does not seem to be capable of fullscreen
playback (I may need to install a quartz video output driver). How
does one configure 'rollback' points?
Thanks in advance.

How to shed those annoying "language packs" in OO
by J.Moore
Once upon a time, I did something (don't remember what now) to delete
all of the language packs for Open Office. Some time later (perhaps
during an upgrade), they came back :(
The annoying thing about them is that they gobble up hundreds of
megabytes of space on my HD and bandwidth during 'yum update's.
How do I get rid of these language packs?
Thanks,
Jay

Keyboard focus with FC6
by Dave Close
I recently performed an upgrade from FC5 to FC6 using DVD, followed by a
"yum update". My box runs KDE, not Gnome. After the upgrade with X and
KDE running, most things seem to work about as they did before. However,
each window seems to lose keyboard focus at random intervals. Sometimes
between almost every keystroke, other times I can type a few paragraphs
before the focus goes away.
When the focus is lost, the effect is that keystrokes don't seem to do
anything. It is as though the program running in that window has hung or
died, and at first I thought that was what was going on. However, I've
discovered that simply moving the mouse cursor out of the window and then
back in is enough to restore full keyboard function. My configuration is
set to "focus follows mouse" so moving the cursor changes which window
has focus.
There were a number of problems with the upgrade. (I mention them just
in case they might have a bearing.) Updating with yum after the DVD
upgrade was not pleasant. I was forced to remove about 100 packages
before it would work, then add them back afterwards. It doesn't seem
right that yum can catch a whole bunch of dependency problems that
anaconda is happy to create. And strangely enough, the "yum update"
did /not/ update yum itself, though it needed to be updated.
After the update, I ran 'yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"'.
That detected the need to install kdeaccessibility and im-chooser. After
it did so, I restarted X but the focus problem remains.

How to install fedora using ISO images on another machine
by Doctor Who
I think I may have an issue with the CD drive on a machine that I want
to install Fedora on. So I was thinking of putting the ISO images on
another machine and make them available via http (or NFS).
Assuming I have a directory like this with the ISOs, what do I do
during install to point to these remote images as the install source?
Thanks.
