Re: SANE can't find device if used through VNC - F9
Hello, I got a F9 machine that I access through VNC. If I'm at the machine, I can open SANE and scan without any problems. If I, however, do this remotely through VNC, SANE cannot find my HP scanner. I tried the same using X11 from a Mac and it didn't work either. However, if I login as root and launch SANE, it works, if finds the scanner and scans. Any idea how to solve this issue?

Still unresolved. EJ No suggestions? When going in remotely, are you logging in as root or as a normal user? That may have something to do with it. In the past, some SANE backends didn't run if you weren't root. I thought that was fixed, but it's a possibility. I have a Canon LIDE at home and it works fine as me or as root. When I log in as a normal user I can't use the scanner, SANE won't find it. If I log in as root, yes, SANE finds the scanner and allows me to scan. However, I don't want to give root access to people who want to scan. This is probably ConsoleKit/PolicyKit in action. When you log in sat at the machine, you're a console user with physical access to the machine, and so you get permissions to access the hardware. When logging in remotely the permissions don't get set to allow you to access connected hardware. I suggest having a read about ConsoleKit/PolicyKit and working out what policy you need to change to get the permissions you want when logging in via VNC. Jonathan. I'm lost there Jonathan.

Re: F9 - F10 Upgrade Left only GRUB prompt
-- Original message -- From: Richard England [EMAIL PROTECTED] I used preupgrade (1.0.0-1.fc9.noarch) to upgrade a Dell Latitude laptop from F9 to F10. Every thing seemed to go fine but on reboot I'm getting only a GRUB prompt. The machine had a fresh F9 install (not an upgrade) and was fully up to date. Is this a case of grub.conf being out of wack or a naming issued with the disk partitions?

My DSL and e-mail provider is att yahoo and I get these nasty notes that I am sending and receiving not within the scope of their SSL protocol. Would they shut me down? I have not a clue. Is there anyone out there with a viable option. Would I not experience the same thing with a fetch it program of some sort. Allen Allen, You hijacked another thread. Don't do this please, it creates confusion. Another thing, don't post at the top, do it at the bottom. It's easier to follow up this way. To answer your question. You won't get shut down. You're the only one at risk if you're not using SSL (encryption) for your emails. They're just warning you, I guess. Using Evolution in Linux, set up your account to use TLS or SSL in security where it says Use Secure Connection. In Authentication Type, click on the button that says Check for Supported Types. It'll communicate with the server and let you know which type of security you can select from the drop down menu next to the button. You have to do the same for both outgoing and incoming mail. You need to know the address for your servers, both incoming and outgoing mail servers. Incoming is either POP or IMAP, outgoing is SMTP. I give you the name of the protocols in case they send it like that and you get confused as what is what. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot. not a dumb question at all but a clear indication that you haven't found samba documentation that is worth following so let me first point out... http://samba.org/samba/docs/ which I would unhesitatingly declare the best open source documentation available see the 'Samba 3 HowTo' and 'Samba by Example' The issue is that Windows has a lot of pre-conceived notions of users, groups, ID's and samba tries to accommodate them in ways that seem confusing to UNIX/Linux users but are pretty obvious to those familiar with Windows Networking concepts. The idea is that you 'map' samba groups to Unix groups. The documentation on the subject begins here... http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/groupmapping.html#id38254 8 so if all the users were part of the Linux group 'users', you could conceivably map the 'Samba Domain Group' called Domain Users to the posix group 'users' net groupmap list will print a list of current samba groups (no doubt 'unassigned') Craig You're right. I should've gone to samba.org in the first place. I just followed a few HOWTOs I googled. Do I need to use groups and do the mapping if most of our users are on macs and we're only using samba trying to accomodate two Windows users? The boss and a sales person want access to design files.

Can anyone point me to a good step by step howto to do this with Fedora 9? Thanks, EJ Example: fdisk /dev/sda here you can create partitions for the first disk, assuming that your first disk is sda. For all partitions, except for the swap type, choose raid autodetect type (fd). fdisk /dev/sdb do the same thing as for /dev/sda then do this: mdadm --create /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 mdadm --create /dev/md1 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 and so on, for all partitions that are raid autodetect type. After creating md devices, you must format them: mkfs.ext3 -L /some_label /dev/md0 and so on, for all of md devices you created. Don't forget to mkswap all swap partitions.
