need recommendation for remote assistance program
by ToddAndMargo 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

Hi All, I have a customer with FC19. Xfce was installed from the Live CD. Son as I get iptables straightened out, I will have SSH access to it Do you guys have any recommendations for a remote assistance program that will work over ssh (the -X mode)? Found something called "vinagre" but could not figure out how to set up the server part. Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

Xfce freeze ups
by ToddAndMargo 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi All, First on the blue rat icon with the X Xfce pop up, where is the version icon? Why do I have to go to the command line and RPM to figure out what version I am on? The version icon should not be so obscured that it is not instantly accessible. $ rpm -qa xfce\* xfce4-session-engines-4.8.1-4.el6.x86_64 Okay, enough bitching (I just crashed and lost all my work, so I am a bit crabby -- sorry). Is there FINALLY a new version of Xfce for Scientific Linux 6.4 (RHEL 6.4 clone)? For why I want this and why I am in crabby mood, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1009665 This crashing is as bad as any Windows machine I have ever seen. Okay maybe not as bad as Vista or Frankenstein (W8), but still once a day is pretty bad. Linux should only crash when you pour coffee on it or kick it over.

Cannot edit events in Orage
by Suvayu Ali 24 Sep '13

Hi, A few weeks back I added some events from a bunch of ics files. My default does not set alarms. Today when I wanted to set an alarm for one of the events, the gui would let me edit but not save the change. This does not happen for an event I added by hand today. Any ideas how I can debug? Thanks, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

How to fix missing scroll arrows on FC19, Firefox, and Xfce
by ToddAndMargo 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hi All, I use the FC19 Xfce Live CD to install FC19 on my clients computers. It works very well. Problem. The default "Adwaita" style does not have scroll arrows. This especially shows up on Firefox. I had to make a return trip to a customer's site yesterday to fix this. Reference: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general/424758 Return trips cause a lot of inconvenience. And the missing arrows makes FC19/Firefox/Xfce look stupid to the new customer. Would the developers of the Live CD, on the next spin, please consider changing the default style to something else? If anyone else is having the missing scroll arrow problem, to correct: --> Application Menu --> Settings (menu) --> Appearance (icon) -- Style (tab) Choose a difference "Style". "Xfce-Winter" is a good alternative. You have to log off and back on to get your arrows to activate. Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

Anyone know of a deliberate bad security live cd iso to test with?
by ToddAndMargo 11 Sep '13

Hi All, I am getting tooled up to do some Penitration Testing for PCI compliance (Ethical Hacking). Refernce: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/pdfs/infosupp_11_3_penetration_testing… There is a VM Ware virtual machine out there that is a deliberte security nightmare to practice with. Problem: I use KVM and Spice, not VM Ware. And I run Live CD through KVM. Anyone know of a similar Live CD or KVM machine that is deliberately a security nightmare to practice with? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
