New F16 install (fresh install, not preupgrade). Printer setup says: FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client enabled on firewall. If firewall isn't running, why does it say all this stuff need to be enabled on firewall? Or am I

F16 - VSFTPd not allowing users to login

Hi, Just upgraded a box from F15 to F16 and my previously working VSFTPd config appears to have broken. If I enable anonymous logins, they work, but when a user tries to login there is a pause after the password is entered, then: > 530 Login incorrect. > Login failed. I've tried playing around

As far as I rembmber, it depends on the screensaver settings: If you use gnome under fedora 15: click the username in the right-hand top/system-settings/screen/LOCK OFF or ON. suomi On 2011-11-14 13:10, Mikkel L. Ellertson wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 11/14/2

enabling gnome-shell extensions system-wide?

Re: Problems with DNS name server in Fedora 16

One option is simply to have all your hosts use your own DNS server. You may want to run a second slave server. Now you will be authoritative for your internal domain and it will answer for outside zones as well - very probably faster than your ISP anyway. gene -- users mailing list use

Hi there, Another question, related to the question about ati drivers for F16: My notebook should have switchable graphics (ATI and Intel). So I should be able to get Gnome 3 ok using the intel video and forget about ATI for a while. Heck, I have a netbook that runs Gnome Shell (F15) fine! And
