This must be a fedora thing because I swear it works fine in centos 6.

Is Fedora a full Enterprise distro though? I don't run it, but from what I gathered from the Fedora wiki and Google, it is on a (comparatively) fast upgrade schedule, and is missing certain nice things RHEL and CentOS by extension have. I'm sure there are differences between RHEL and Fedora, besides the support system for RHEL and the cost of it.

Slackware 14.0 recognizes my X130e's wireless card, but the built in Network Manager is worthless - Ubuntu (GNOME)'s network manager sees my wireless but I haven't found a clear way to do this in Slack yet, but is there a better wireless manager I can install in its place?

e: I used to use wicd but I was hoping something better was available or I was just not using the Slack one right. I've used Slackware a bunch in the past, just rarely ever (with much success) in conjunction with wireless

On that note, do you have any inkling, however vague, as to when the next major revision of RHEL is going to come out, and which version of Fedora it'll branch off of? I had to abandon CentOS (at home) for hosting VMs because of a bug that made FreeBSD completely unable to run.

The schedule and branch version has changed internally two or three times right now, so that's why we don't publish these things. We'll be making official announcements hopefully very soon. We have some very exciting features coming up.

I have to edit several files on my school's servers using SSH. The only way I know how to manipulate a text file remotely is using VI or Nano. The problem is that these files are somewhat large and intricate, and I don't want to risk doing them in a terminal text editor.

Is there any terminal command I can use to open remote files using a text editor on my computer?

Alternately, is there a way I can copy the contents of a remote file to clipboard so that I could just post it into a text document? Currently, the only way I know how to do this is one screen at a time.

The file extensions I need to manipulate are .c, l, h, and y

I know things like Notepad++ have an SFTP file open. So you could open using that and edit in N++. If you're using Windows, I know gEdit can do the same thing.

If you're using GNOME, it has built in SFTP support (file browser -> connect to server -> type 'ssh'). Some programs (gedit) support this directly. Others don't, but you can point them at GNOME's mountpoint (in ~/.gvfs) and it'll still work.

If you aren't, or you'd rather not use that, install sshfs. You may need to add yourself to the 'fuse' group and log out and back in again, too.

Then,

$ sshfs user@schoolserver:path/to/directory /path/to/local/mountpoint -oidmap=user,reconnect

Now all the stuff on the server is mounted locally over ssh at /path/to/local/mountpoint. Edit as normal. When done, unmount with:

$ fusermount -uz /path/to/local/mountpoint

If you want to be able to work on it offline, you could also just sync the whole thing with rsync or unison, make your edits, then sync it back when done.

Ah turds, I read it wrong and thought you were bouncing the client, not the server. Some of the ideas should still work.

- How does rpcinfo -p <server-name> look before and after restarting NFS on the server?
- Can you telnet to NFSs TCP ports from the client? Telnet is a quick and easy way to check network communications.
- Does running exportfs -r on the server fix it?

Sounds like a fun one, let us know what you find out.

So Redhat finally responded to my case with:

Have there been any issues with Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04? It was working fine, I've done some basic updates, but now chrome doesn't want to load a lot of webpages properly. Things like facebook, manga readers and other pages that have any sort of "frames", when scrolling parts of the page never load past the original. This has been going on for a while now, works fine in Windows 7.

Any ideas, should I just try to uninstall/reinstall it?

Well, obviously they could support linux, but the reason the desktop version of their site doesn't just magically work on linux is because they're using silverlight.

Roku's support for encryption was poor and buggy until recently; Netflix on Android required them to write custom decoding software. While the knowledge to support desktop linux would certainly be available to Netflix, the resources it would divert would probably, according to their judgment, not bring in more than it cost them. On the other hand, Roku and Android are massive audiences to support and would no doubt justify the expense of design and development and continued support.

So "they don't want to" is an oversimplification. Video streaming is a balancing act between licensors, technology platforms, and whatever shortcuts the outlet (i.e. streaming company) can get away with. In the case of streaming video, DRM is almost always contractually mandated. Playing h.264 videos on Linux wouldn't cut it. A reasonably secure encryption/decryption scheme would be essential, and that kind of stuff requires talent and attention. Linux almost certainly hasn't proved itself to Netflix.

That's how Netflix would probably justify it.

I don't work for Netflix, but I'm reasonably knowledgeable about the challenges. Probably wouldn't be a good idea for go into too much detail openly, but if you PM me relevant questions I could probably illuminate you on some of the details.

So, I'm playing with ip route and there is something that is tripping me up.

When I add a route with the following commands:
code:
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
everything works and ip route show shows the route added.

I then do a ip address add 192.168.1.48 dev eth0 and I have internet access. I then issue the command ip route show again and I see my route with src 192.168.1.48 appended to the end.

Naturally, I want to add this to the commands so I can then add it to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 file.

No dice. No matter what I try, I get errors from RTNETLINK: no such process to RTNETLINK: invalid argument.

What gives? Is there a way to do this?

If it is relevant, since I am playing with this, I start from scratch each time and issue a ip route flush all before beginning.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Edit: This is on CentOS 6.3.

Correct, I have it as the commands would be on the command line, but without the ip route add part at the beginning.

Unless I am misunderstanding, this wouldn't have anything to do with the box gaining the specified IP address (192.168.1.48) would it?

The route itself seems fine (on network 192.168.1.0/24 with the router being at 192.168.1.1).

Basically, I am just trying to see if I can specify an IP within the route-eth0 (or for that matter any) file.

I'm just trying to understand how to use the route object within the ip command :)

Edit: Just realized that I may have not been clear. The route seems to work just fine, but I am trying to make 192.168.1.48 a static IP for the box. I noticed that when using ip address add and then doing ip route show that it showed the IP for the box that I specified in the aforementioned ip address add command so I figured that I might be able to specify it in the route-eth0 file. DOing a bit more digging thanks to a previous reply, it looks like the answer may lie in the ifcfg-eth0 file. Looks like I will be playing with it some more :)
