I'll look into mirroring it to our own MUUG FTP server, in any case. I've also updated the March meeting write-up on the MUUG meeting page... http://www.muug.mb.ca/meetings/01-02.html#mar ... to include a link to the above rescue CD, plus a few other useful links, including the security conference and the presentation notes to Sean's GPG talk. -- Gilbert E.

Red Hat Admin's CD ISO/Security seminar URL
by Geek 16 Mar '02

16 Mar '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There was an admin;s CD and I was wondering that when there is an ISO of it on the server could someone post it's location? As well, does anyone have the URL off of that paper that got passed around, for the security seminar? I had it written down, but I can't find the paper. Thanks.

New Red Hat 7.2 CDs, anyone?

Makes for one heck of an up2date session! If someone wants to make CDs with all the current updates and bring them to the next meeting, I'll buy a set.

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <a6394k$kmq$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: GPG - GNU Privacy Guard GnuPG allows multiple parties to communicate over e-mail in a secure manner. Using strong cryptography, not only can it protect documents from being read by other parties, but it can verify the integrity and sender. This talk will cover the problems associated with ensuring the security of e-mail, and the use of GnuPG to solve them. Sean Walberg will be presenting this month's topic. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our new meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now: http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/ The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members. The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved! -- Gilbert E.

X10: fatal IO error 104
by author 02 Mar '02

02 Mar '02

Everything was running just fine. Red Hat 7.2 had even found my modem and I learning how to use Glame. Then, because I was in a hurry, I did a shutdown inside an xterm window in KDE 2.2.1. Latter when I booted back up, and did startx, it failed with this error message: Could not init font path element unix/:700, removing from list! Fatal server error: Could not open default font 'fixed' X10: fatal IO error 104 (Correction reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests ( 0 known processed ) with 0 events remaining Looks bad. And it got worse when I did several xf86config and X still gives the same error. When I do a shutdown xfs gives an error. I've got no idea what to do. So I sent a bug report to xfree86(a)xfree86.org I doubt I'll ever hear from them. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a solution or will I have to re-install Red Hat?
