pilot and palm sync
by Zoltan Kota
Hi,
I have just got a Palm Z22. I would like to use it with jpilot under
F8 with the latest updates. I set the device to 'usb:' in jpilot. It
seems to work as root but not with a normal user! Some permissions?
What should I check?
Thanks.

apache - bad request
by Pedro Freire
Hi list,
don't know if this was already answered. If so ... sorry
I installed Fedora 8 with apache running.
What is happening is that I can access the Apache Fedora test page if I
use "localhost" as the address, BUT if I use 127.0.0.1 (or it's LAN IP)
I receive a Bad Request "Your browser sent a request that this server
could not understand."
Any idea why ?
This happens right after installation, without changing any config file.

Fedora 8: X/Nautilus eating CPU
by wwp
Hello all,
now that my Fedora 8 is fully set up, I notice periodical short
hangs of the Desktop, making its use quite uncomfortable. `top` tells me
that the X and Nautilus processes are eating up to 30% of CPU every
15-20sec approximately (I can hear some disk activity as well).
Sensors applets are configured to poll on a longer period basis so it's
probably not them. No cron activity has been set. Anyway, I was running
the same applets with my Fedora Core 5 and GNOME and never encountered
such behaviour before.
For the record, nautilus-action is installed and there are few mounts
(USB disks) visible onto the Desktop. I've tried closing all apps (but
GNOME Desktop) and this still happens.
Anybody has this too? Or any hint?
Regards,

greylisting is just one of a lot of tools available to the mail server
administrator - all of them are calibrated to minimize the junk mail
delivered to the end users and of course minimizing delivery failures
and false positive scoring by various mechanisms.
End users of course are the ones ultimately affected and you seemingly
want to open an end user discussion about a server level
technology...please don't as it won't provide clarity to anyone.
If you are losing e-mails, evaluate the filtering system that you use at
end user level and discuss the methodologies employed by your mail
provider with them.

CORBA errors on GNOME login
by Matthew Saltzman
Running GNOME in fully updated F8 on a dual-core x86_64. When I log in,
several apps or applets produce pop-up error boxes with the following
text:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration
information for <applet>. Some of your configuration settings
may not work properly.
Clicking the "details" button produces one to several occurrences of the
message:
Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error:
IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
This started a while back, and it would occur on the first login after
boot, but subsequent logins would work fine. More recently, it's
started happening on every login. The applets that produce the error
vary, but they include
- Power Manager
- gnome-terminal
- Evolution's calendar/alarm app
- nm-applet
and others.
Anybody have a clue what's going on? Which component should I BZ?
TIA.

gorged harddrive
by charles f. zeitler
i've been pruning my "downloads" disk,
rather drastically, and not making a dent.
today some more, less drastic but still
hefty, same result.
revisited du- checked it twice - three
times- yup, it reports one directory at
800+ gb- on a 400gb disk!
fsck (forced) failed to report any problems,
there don't seem to be any symlinks,
and the sub-direcory sizes are sane...
any ideas welcome, and appreciated.

Where's the bluetooth jargon demystifier?
by Tom Horsley
I go to the official bluez-utils web site and their documentation page
basically says "You don't want to look at our docs, they suck.".
I go to the official bluetooth web site and their documentation either
tells me why I ought to be making bluetooth devices or talks about
radio spectrum and communications layers.
Where is the web page that explains to a human what the gibberish
in the hcid.conf man page actually means?
All I'm trying to do is arrange for my bluetooth keyboard (which definitely
works with manual poking and prodding) to work automatically once
my fedora 8 system has booted. Seems like it ought to be a simple task :-).

Fedora Core 8 and dvd::rip from freshrpm's problem
by Joseph L. Casale
After a clean install of fc8, a full yum update, I then add freshrpms and install dvdrip. I then setup a project, rip the dvd, but the preview fails. I have searched their forum and found some issues but it seems non apply, there is no actual error other then that the file isn't created?
Anyone know what could be wrong?
Thanks!
