if you experience a sudden unexplainable loss of audio in fedora check GAIM,

 

it's taken me quite a while to figure out, but GAIM seems to be grabbing the audio /dev/dsp and keeping it to itself so you can't play mp3's in xmms or listen/watch a music video,

 

to fix, i checked my GAIM preferences and change the audio output from ESD to a simple console beep,

 

since i've done this, my audio has never disappeared yet (fingers crossed) and prior to doing this it would go awol on a very frequent and rather annoying frequency

ok ive installed smoothwall express 2.0 and its running great

 

however, i now have two clients connected to it (via the dhcp server) and i want to monitor them

 

doing netstat -an doesnt even list the two leased ips even though they are actively connected and using the internet

 

tcpdump -i eth1 does list alot of activity (too much i think)

 

so.... I want to tail the output of tcpdump

 

how can i do that ?

 

cheers

Thanks in advance

gtar -cf - . | gtar -tvf - | egrep "^d|\/\."

for example, i'll run freeciv or mozilla from the KDE app menu, I get the hourglass and the app appears in the system tray with the hourglass as though it's trying to load, then the process just goes away. Is there a log file somewhere I can look at to see what's going wrong? Thanks.

congrats Grep420 on becoming an Admin,

I've installed comanche, and when I launch it from a terminal, it brings up the comanche application window and runs fine, but when I create a link on the KDE desktop to run it, something tries to run for 15 or 20 seconds and then dies. I'm a newbie at Linux, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something here. Does something special need to go into the desktop link properties to make this work? Thanks!

as i have TWO ADSL connections at home, i decided to test smoothwall Express Final 2 out (i have used smoothwall I in the past, it was cool,

 

smoothwall II is very nice via the web page administration setup, easy to configure and relatively painless to setup,

 

its now running andworking just fine, im posting this message through it :)

 

have a look

 

cheers
