FC3 + weird gui issue...

by Keller, Tim

I recently upgraded this machine (was running FC2) to FC3 test3. Everything works great, but I noticed one really odd anomaly. If I open up an app, and move it to the second head (this machine has duel monitors and is running Xinerama) it disappears from the task bar. Now if I pick the app up and move it back over to the primary monitor it reappears on the task bar. I've routed through the settings, and nothing *looks* amiss. Anybody got any ideas? Later, Tim.

RE: [Wlug] RH 7.3 ssh glitched after upgrade

by Martin, Eric

In /etc/ssh/sshd_config, uncomment the logging lines, and turn logging to debug. That will give you a lot more info. You'll want to turn it off after, as according to the sshd_config man page "Debug violates user's privacy". One thing that just happened to me as I'm typing this: ssh would prompt me for a login, but wouldn't log me in. No log of the event, just dumped me out. I sent SIGHUP to it and everything is fine now. I'm sure you've tried restarting, but weird things happen. Also, make sure that: UsePAM=yes AllowRootLogin = Yes In you /etc/ssh/sshd_config -----Original Message----- From: Dick Goodman [mailto:wlug@goodman1.net] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 8:32 PM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] RH 7.3 ssh glitched after upgrade I have four RH 7.3 servers which had not been updated for a loooong time.

Because of that, hotplug doesn't know what to do with the SanDisk pens if they are recognized by the OS, and the pen will not be automatically mounted. To make it automatically mount, you must add an entry for SanDisk in the /etc/updfstab.conf file. -Gina >On Thu, 14 Oct 2004 10:41:08 -0400 (EDT), Ryan Caron <rcaron(a)wpi.edu> wrote: > > >>Assuming you do not have any other usb devices hooked up to your laptop, >>adding the following line to your /etc/fstab will allow you to mount and >>use your pen drive as a non-root user: >> >>/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat user,noauto,exec 0 0 >> >>Using this method, you will have to type "mount /mnt/sda1" when you insert >>it and "umount /mnt/sda1" when you are done. >> >>I cannot stress how important it is to unmount!

If you use gnome2 and HAL, it will automatically mount it for you. I'm running gentoo and it works very nicely. Also, hotplug (or coldplug, whichever it is now) might also be able to do the trick.

Hi, could you get any results in your search of that USB cam? I am particularly interested with low end web cams. Is there a working web cam out there at arm's reach? I have just hammered, ground and vacuum cleaned my logitech pro 3000 cam which was constantly refusing any kind of open source solution. >:-) thanks, baris
