AD authentication
by Will Yonker 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi, I've just setup a pair of Fedora 18 boxes that I could use some help with getting them to join the active directory domain we have at work (2008 I think).Â What I would like is for users in a particular group in AD be allowed to log into the Fedora 18 boxes without me having to create accounts (and manage passwords) on the Fedora boxes.Â Is that possible? Thanks for any help! --- Will -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Need Help - .CD/DVD ROM Drive Not Seen By OS.....
by EGO-II.1 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

I know this is a Fedora-oriented community mailing list, but seeing as how I don't have "access" to another distro's "support network" I figured I would ask here and hope for the best. Here's the scenario: I recently downloaded and burned to DVD the .iso file for a certain Linux distro, and everything checked out fine in regards to the download / burn-copy process. But when I insert the CD into another laptop to install this distro onto that laptops's hard drive I get to the main installation menu, which offers me the option to install using the Command Line or the GUI. I chose the GUI (since I suck at the comand line...for NOW!) and the first selection after I chose the GUI is to choose my language, then to set the keyboard, but immediately after those it asks me to select the type of CD drive (SCSI or "Other") I have gone through the ENTIRE list of offerings in those lists but it doesn't recognize ANY of them.....can someone please tell me what the proper procedure is to get me past this point?....the laptop in question is a Lenovo T-420 with 4 GB of memory..a 320 HDD...and an internal / modular CD-ROM drive.... Thanks... EGO II

I had only GTK3 versions installed, and that's why they were being ignored. Once I installed their GTK2 counterparts, bingo, all themes were available =) Regards, Andre

firewalld v. libvirtd
by Robert Locke 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Just took the leap in to Fedora 18 from 17. In Fedora 17, I simply added a custom rule in the old system-config-firewall to point to a file that had a trust of the libvirt based virbr0 interface. The new system-config-firewall has me a bit confused.... I would like to keep the new firewalld and it's initial presumption that my em1 and wlan0 interfaces are in the "public" zone generally not allowing unsolicited inbound activity. This appears to be the default OOBE. I would like to associate the virbr0 interface, created by libvirtd, to be considered part of the "internal" zone, since I "trust" my own VMs talking to the host. But, what is the "supportable" method for accomplishing this? There is no ifcfg- where I could put the firewall zone.... Thanks in advance, --Rob

recommendations for SSD drive as first disk for fedora 18?
by Robert P. J. Day 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

after a while living with ubuntu, i'm moving back to fedora as of F18, and would like some advice. i have an ASUS G74S with twin 750G drives, but i want to replace the boot drive with an SSD, and install F18 in such a way as to maximize the benefit of the SSD for booting and (mostly) R/O storage. a lot of my time will be spent doing lengthy compiles (kernel, openembedded), so in addition to system content on the SSD, i'll want to keep all of my source there as well, while the build directories will be on the regular drive. is there a recommendation for installing F18 in terms of separating what's appropriate for the SSD versus what isn't? most of that is fairly obvious, just wondering if anyone wrote up something about their experience doing just that and how well it worked for them. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Re: F17, audacity recording what you hear

Claude Jones: >> It's hard to say what your problem is because "sounds like a tin can" is >> not very helpful - you say it's not clipping and that the levels are OK. Frank Elsner: > Maybe translate.google.com has failed for my german :-( > > The sound is like the sound of bery old telephones. If you want people to know exactly what it sounds like, and maybe help with diagnosis, upload a small sound file somewhere. It could well be that one of your computers has a bad sound card. My laptop has a next-to-useless one, as far as inputting audio goes. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 8 21:40:51 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
