sensors applet
by Bill Davidsen
Still not working for me with the 2.6.22 kernel. I believe it's
2.6.22.1-33.fc7 and the similar latest in fc6.
It works with the 2.6.2[01] kernels... just looking for feedback, the
sendors command works after rerunning sensors-find.

Power management on intel i945 video chipset
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales
People,
I have a Centrino notebook with intel i945 video chipset and power
management has been a little of a problem lately.
If I use the xorg i810 driver, I can control LCD brightness correctly
and I can suspend to RAM, but I can't resume after a suspend. The LCD
will not turn on again. I had this problem in FC6 and corrected it
altering the suspend and resume scripts to save the state of LCD
brightness to a file when suspending and reading it back when
resuming. In FC6, this information was in /proc/acpi/asus/brn and the
functions for suspending and resuming were
in /etc/pm/functions-intel.
In F7, I have the same problem with i810 driver (can't resume after
suspending, LCD does not turn on), but there's no /proc/acpi/asus/brn
and I couldn't find the suspend/resume functions.
So I tried the new intel driver. After booting, it allows me to adjust
LCD brightness as I wish, and it turns on the LCD correctly after
suspending/resuming. However, once I've done a suspend/resume, the
LCD brightness is set to maximum and I can't adjust it anymore,
unless I reboot.
Anyone has this working 100% on a intel i945 video chipset? How did
you do it?
Thanks,
Marcelo

Asus p4p800 deluxe BROKEN INSTALL on FC5- FC6-FC7
by Randy Ramsdell
Ok nice to be right back in the EXACT same position I was in several
years ago regarding this motherboard and installing FC. I think it was
FC3 that this first became an issue, but I was able to work around it
and install FC. So now, I tried to install FC6/7 and I yet to find a way
to get it installed.
So now it has been a year or so without being able to run Fedora/CentOS.
Please help as I really don't want to use Ubunto and especially not Suse.
Anyone have an issue installing on the Asus board?
Trying to install causes a seg fault when dealing with the hard drives
either in BIOS setting compatibility mode or SATA mode. Anaconda shows
the hard drives as "/dev/mapper" or something like that, but as you
know, they should appear as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. All I ever see is a
single "/dev/mapper" which suggests that Anaconda sees a raid array even
after I fdisk the drives. Of coarse this also rendered the system
unusable after the seg fault resulted in a reboot.

Networked hard drive
by Anne Wilson
I've bought a drive with usb and network connection. I used the usb to
quickly transfer a large quantity of data, but intended putting it onto the
network after that. The blurb on the box said it would just pick an ip by
dhcp. However, it seems to me that I need to know something about it in
order to mount it, and I've got a total blank on where to go next. Nothing
appears in /var/log/messages.
I've told the router to reserve an address for it and made an entry
in /etc/hosts. Since I can't see any sign of it being recognised I haven't a
clue how to mount it. Any ideas?

Kernel 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 breaks NFS
by Miner, Jonathan W (US SSA)
Hi -
Just upgraded from 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7, and now seeing problems with NFS. I originally believed the problem was with the automounter, but it looks like it might be NFS instead. Rebooting with the old kernel solves the problem.
In this example, I'll create a new mountpoint, and try to mount my home directory. The directory is being served from a SUN Cluster 2.1 server.
# rm -rf /h
# mkdir -p /h/jminer
# mount superfly:/superfly/vol02/home/jminer /h/jminer
mount.nfs: /h/jminer is already mounted or busy
# echo $?
32
Now, if I try to mount the directory from the physical node, the mount suceeds.
# mount fly_a:/superfly/vol02/home/jminer /h/jminer
# echo $?
0
I saw similar problems with an earlier FC release, but it was related to either the autofs or nfs-utils package.

FC6 Issue with Cups after update
by Wade Hampton
I just did a yum update on my son's computer. Now the cups daemon
won't start. Running /sbin/service cups start results in:
Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting!
I checked the permissions and they are root, lp 644.
If I run the same code as in the /etc/init.d/cups script, it starts
and works fine:
su
. /etc/init.d/functions
DAEMON=cupsd
prog=cups
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
daemon $DAEMON
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/cups
Using su, I tested and user lp can read the cupsd.conf file.
Any ideas?

Formatting CDs
by Aaron Konstam
It has been stated that you can format CD-RW using cdrecord or k3b.
I can't find that option in either program. k3b can format DVD-RW and
DVD+RW but not CDs as far as I can see.
Could someone explain how to do it

How to mount a dos floppy ?
by Bob Goodwin
How do I mount an old dos floppy without making additions to fstab?
I assume there is a proper way to do this since an icon comes up on the
desktop when I plug the disk in to the drive but it can't deal with the
file system apparently and refuses to mount. I don't know the magic
incantation for the command line.
I have a few disks I need to extract text [.doc] files from.

Fedora 7 freezes two or three times per day
by Langdon Stevenson
My Fedora 7 system is running well, except for the nasty habit of
freezing two or three times per day when I am working. First: all
windows stop responding to the mouse and key board, then soon after, the
mouse freezes as well.
The only option available then is to press the reset button to reboot
the system.
There doesn't appear to be any specific application that causes the
freeze. It typically happens when I have a largish number of
applications open at once (say: Firefox, Eclipse, Thunderbird, Pidgin,
Terminal, Putty), but I could be working in any one of the applications.
This problem has been happening since I installed F7 soon after the
official release. So I have seen this behavior with at least three
kernels (including the last release a few days ago).
My system spec:
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo e6600
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6
- Video card: Asus EN7900GS
- kernel.x86_64 2.6.21-1.3228
All currently available F7 updates installed.
Are there any known issues that may be causing this? If not, should I
be reporting it as a bug?
Regards,
Langdon

NOUSER
by Vivek J. Patankar
One of my servers has a public interface. It is hit by ssh login
attempts on a daily basis and the count for that goes into the thousands
per week. The usernames that have been tried are root, admin,
administrator, etc.
For the last could of weeks I have been getting a lot of login attempts
for a user called "NOUSER". There were over 12000 during the week ending
5th August. The sources of the attempts are geographically
distributed, Norway, US, Korea, Taiwan, India, etc. But the username is
always the same, "NOUSER". I am guessing this is some kind of worm.
Aug 6 17:57:57 <HOSTNAME> pam_tally[28966]: pam_tally: pam_get_uid; no
such user NOUSER
Has anybody else seen such activity or has more information about it?
Anything I should worry about?
If it matters, the box runs an up-to-date FC6.
