Airport Extreme and Fedora Core 6

Ever since Fedora Core 6 was installed on my PowerBook, I can only access the Internet via ethernet port. It is a not a big problem at home, however if I want to access my university’s network or the Internet from there, the Wireless access is the only way. There is almost no where on campus or in the lab that I could hook the ethernet cable in. So everytime I want to access the network there, I have to boot into Mac OS X. ...

Enable Right-click & Middle-click with Fedora Core 6

The title should have been “How to enable right-click and middle click of PowerBook G4’s one-button-mouse in Fedora Core 6”. Since I’m not very keen in selecting a good title, I hope the one I wrote above made sense. My Apple PowerBook G4 comes with just one button mouse. It’s not a problem when using it in OS X because I can simply emulate the right click by holding “fn” key while clicking. Recently, I just installed Fedora Core 6 as dual boot on this laptop; and one button mouse really gave me a big headache. I’ve beent trying to look for a good solution to fix this, but I didn’t get much luck. There were a few links on some blogs reporting that they had successfully solving this mouse problem by using something called “synaptic” driver, but that didn’t work for me either. The temporary solution was to use the USB mouse. ...

Disable sshd in SuSE 10.1

With the latest release of Open SuSE, version 10.1 at the time of writing, the ssh daemon (sshd) is turned on by default. Some sources on the web suggested that it doesn’t do any harms to have it on since it won’t be able to access from outside your LAN if the firewall is turned on. However, I think if you don’t need to use it, there is no point to leave it on. ...

Upgrade Amarok to 1.4.1

I’ve been using SuSE 10.1 for just about a month. The previous linux distro I used was Debian, so the rpm package concept is pretty new to me. I’ve heard of it before, but never got to use or play with it. With Debian, we have a very easy way to install or upgrade packages: apt-get, of course. Anyway, I just upgraded the Amarok 1.3.8 to version 1.4.1. It wasn’t easy initially as I tried to upgrade each package of dependency separately. Fortunately, I found a good site that explains how to do this step by step. The following is the summary: ...
