citiskyline_, if you want to build your own kernel, learn
assembler and C, if you just want to make distro, learn the package
manager language and a interpreter language of your choice for the
remaining glue, python is fine, bash would be a faster and leaner
since you need a shell anyway
Grummus, thank you.
ImportError: No module named logging
is this a known issue?
bronx, i don't know this error, did you check your
media?
not yet, checking underway
bugzilla does not have an anaconda bug listed with "logging"
in it's comments or in the summary
I'm trying to connect to an FTP server via lftp, it works from
my laptop but not from another server on the same
network. Anyone know how I can see the error message?
I just get "Delay before reconnect"

Hola daMaestro
I am running fc6, how can I change the screen resolution of
the login screen and of the graphical loader?
the graphical loader ? the grub or the rhgb ?
The login screen is fixed.
rhgb used a separate config file last time I checked. I'm not sure
if that still holds true.
Sorry, not fixed, but rather the same resolution as the
users.
Anvil, when all the services are starting
that screen
the rhgb then. see ivazquez comment.
ivazquez, can't be, my login screen runs at a different rez
than my user
also need to change the login screen size too
that would be the gdm menu
can you tell me where rhgb and gdm config files are at?
/etc/rhgb/xorg.conf
doesn't exist
Of course not. You have to create it.
sdodson, eww. perl? i resent that remark.
in F7 I ran crontab -u root /etc/crontab before running crontab
-u root -e so that I could edit the file like the man pages and
such say.. I edited the cron table, saved. then it ran my daily
crontab twice.. once at 2 am which I want and then again at 4 am
which I don't want. and changed it from.. why?
hey anyone here
i have a problem with yum
anyone here
i have a problem with yum
we heard you the first time
oh sorry i am using fedora 5
yum was working fine
and today all of a sudden it says could not find valid baseurl
for repo:updates
i dont do a thing to it
hello
fc5 is dead, no more updates
since today
how can I find the device name of my onboard audio?
but i put the url in a browser and it works
hey and Grummus in the .repo what is the meaning of commenting
the baseurl
FC5 is DEAD, there will be no more updates for this
distribution
ok tell me why do some repo files have baseurl line #ed
greenberet007, doesn't matter
you mean they closed the repo as well
greenberet007, for fc5 releases, sure
so in my .repos i changed $releasever to 6
still it doesnt work
why should it work? the base repo line is outdated
anyway
w3m-0.5.1-15 crashes under screen
(FC6)
BUT they just can change it like that
Anybody experience the same thing?
greenberet007, "they" can do what they like, if you don't
upgrade at least once a year fedora is the wrong distribution for
you
well i disabled updates repo now it says the same for
freshrpms
...or knows why?
Hello!
ok, you beat me, fc5 has a few days left to live, until june
29 2007
anyone have a problem with one of the alt keys not working on a
usb keyboard?
can I beat you too?
sempuki, i have a keyboard where the left Ctrl key doesn't
work. I figure I've gotten a good 12 years out of a $10
keyboard
hehe, this one is brand new
sempuki, my pc does not have a ps/2 keyboard connector, so i
have to use usb keyboard, no problems with the alt key so
far...
hey sempuki remember me
Does w3m crash (seg fault while scrolling down a multi-page
URL) under screen alone? Latest versions of screen and w3m under
FC6.
¤¨¹
in yum .repo files why is the line containing baseurl
commented
in FC6 my keyboard worked fine
but now if I change to JP layout, it tries to write in
katakana
you know anything about yum .repo files
not really, but people pay me a lot of money to figure things
out so...
i'll pay you in the far future
just figure out why my keyboard is screwed
that and why bozozoku think its fun to drive around revving their
shitty moped engines
POSIX shared
hosting Memory (/dev/shm) support is required for 3D
apps
does anyone know how to do this?
i'm trying to install ati drivers
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/en/
"man yum.conf" is a good start
Did you compile
host the kernel yourself?
wild guess, youre missing some sort of -devel rpm
because in india theyve got no bandwidth
but yesterday it was working
i just did a clean install of fc6
so now i'm trying to install the ati drivers
all the more reason why you need a lib thats not included
standard
*Don't* use the drivers from ATI.
which ones should i use then
What ATI card do you have?
ivazquez, for some cards, thats all that works except for
vesa
radeon x800 pro
Im looking
Older ones are better off with the "radeon" driver
Use the packages from livna.
Let me find you the URL...
i've tried the livna drivers before and they didn't work
but i was on a 64 bit version of linux then,
If the livna drivers don't work, then the OEM drivers won't
either.
i just installed 32 bit
thought i'd have less trouble
radeon driver won't give you 3D
ivazquez, fglrx works fine for me but then i consider those
the drivers from ATI (just repackaged by livna)
why not?
It only has support for 3D up to 9800 or so.
my radeon card works great on XP
i thought linux would be just as good or better
It would... if hardware companies would cooperate.
so what should i do?
You need the binary drivers from ATi for 3D to work
theres a dev/shm on my computer
/dev/shm
yes
i'm at /dev/shm
there is nothing in it though
Add the following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there
already): tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
mount /dev/shm
mount | grep "shm"
http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/3rd-pty-video/
thanks
http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/ati-yum-livna/
who runs fedorasolved?
Fedora Unity.
everyone-ish?
fglrx is known not working on f7
pretty smart lookin
there is a workaround
read it as you said it ;(
oops
my keyboard is in the wrong layout!
LiNeTuX, which is?
LiNeTuX, downgrade the Xorg server?
anyone know how I can enable my right hand side Alt
button?
no thanks.
I have fglrx working in F7 w/my X1600
yep
yeah.. i know about htat
that*
it's a hack, but it works
i normally just use Xgl anyways
i wanted it more for the power management over the ati card.
(laptop)
anyone tried to build the nemiver release? I tried it using
mock and my laptop just freezes
I downloaded the repo (9GB) for F7 and would like to make a
install DVD. I just can't remember the name of the app. to do
this...
revisor
Answering me?
Yes.
OK
Thanks
my computer is a laptop, but my keyboard is an external usb
(not connected to a port replicator or anything), maybe thats
causing the Xserver to become confused about the
layout?
hi, after installing livhna and then the proprietrat drivers and
config util when I try to startx I get tons of errors and something
about setting DISPLAY. Anyone have any ideas? It's a NVIDIA 6800

It's used to compose chars from other keypresses. No, I don't

help! i cannot access my cd or dvd drives anymore, and i have
no idea why?
maybe your automounter is not working, have you tried manually
mounting it?
Can I run revisor from FC6 to build an F7 install DVD? I
don't have access to F7 install media yet
Exactly what is it that you think you mean by "access"? Don't
make people guess.
I have not yet had success with that.
And the reason you don't use the actual F7 install DVD would
be...?
Lo-bandwidth, got the repo from a friend
well usually it auto-mounts when i put a CD in and it's not
doing that anymore. and doing things like dmesg show a bunch of
hardware errors.
the friend doesn't have the install DVD.
however if i open up a vmware windows xp machine i can use
the same dvd drive perfectly fine
Which, of course, is utter nonsense... this "friend" has
sufficient Bandwidth
to download 9 gb of stuff, but couldn't grab the smaller
installation DVD instead? Please.
Of course, but it'd be too much to ask of an acquaintance.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if it's possible.
Of course, but it'd be too much to ask of an acquaintance.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if it's possible.
The pains we go thru' without broadband
It wasn't too much to ask him to download 9 gb of random stuff,
but it *is* too much to ask him to download 6 gb worth of *useful*
stuff. I see.
Ah, more cluelessness.
No dude, the friend's friends already have access to DVD which
they'll give him when he goes back to school
They asked him to download the repo, not I
okay i will simplify it. "cannot open /dev/dvd" even though my
fully functional dvd drive, which worked fine yesterday, is on and
plugged in
I know, I know, this is all too much
So you've tried using revisor under FC6 and it's proved
futile?
I'm going to trust the devs when they say it needs a newer
yum.
Does /dev/dvd even exist?
yes. anything pertaining to my dvd drive does not function
anymore
except of course in my virtual machine everything is fine like
it was yesterday
anyone know what 'separate group for each window' means in
keyboard preferences-layout?
maelstrom, 'anymore'. identify what changed.
i don't know...
maelstrom, sounds like your VM might be using it (locked
it)
no i have since shut off the vm
i really need some insight and advice.. I cant get my I2O DPT
raid v card to work
Check /dev/dvd permissions
(or whatever device that points to)
lrwxrwxrwx
mount /dev/dvd | mount: can't find /dev/scd0 in /etc/fstab or
/etc/mtab
if that helps
It's a symlink
Check the perms of the device it points to
brw-rw----+
Yeah, and the owner is?
my user
Try a full mount command with the devicename and a mount
point
question, I have a hardware raid, and I am running FC6, how
do I partition it and set it up?
what raid card are you using?
Esotericisms what raid card are you using?
nvidia mediashield, onboard raid controller
hmm
have you configured that raid in the bios?
you may be able to run raidtools or mdadmin (not sure on
mdadmin)
Esotericisms, that's called fakeraid, not real h/w raid. set it
up in the bios, then it looks just like one big drive to the
installer if supported (dmraid)
looks like cdroms work fine but not dvds...wtf?
Esotericisms, or, disable the fakeraid and use software raid
across the individual drives instead.
zcat, its a hardware raid controller how is it fake?
thats what I think Im going to have to do it..
take the raid card out and put in a standard scsi
"Onboard" and "hardware RAID" almost never belong
together.
but this is a nice ass card.. 4 channels but its old.. just
RH6 drivers on the adaptec site
why would i be able to mount a cd but not a dvd in my drive
??
I have already setup the raid in bios
I just need to mount and format the drive
need to setup a symlink to /dev/dvd?
Do DVDs show up under Windows / VMWare?
yes, perfectly
and it all worked fine yesterday
I have my DVD mounted as /dev/scd1 on /media/DVD_VIDEO type udf
(ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=500)
You mean the same DVDs mounted properly yesterday?
yes, i have 2 different dvds that no longer mount and they
both worked fine before and both still work in windows
"java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-14.fc7" came with default installation
of F7 ?
What exactly does it say when you try to mount a DVD?
it is supposed to automount but nothing happens, at least
that i can see
(I hope you've tried them on windows using the same
machine)
Yes. What of it?
What happens when you try to manually mount it?
damn
delete it
was thinking was part of "jre-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin"
mount /dev/dvd | mount: can't find /dev/scd0 in /etc/fstab or
/etc/mtab
how do I set the partition type of a drive?
screw it, i don't have time. yay linux
maelstrom, yeah you won't find entries under fstab
Can anyone recommend a mother board for running fedora? I've
done lots of Googling and haven't found much. I've tried a Intel
965/975 chipset mobo with an Intel Duo CPU and have given up trying
to get it to work. Any recommendations?
I have a new drive, I need to set its partition type and mount
it, can anyone help or give me a link on how to do it
what's the problem with getting it to work? I *think* that's
the one I'm working off of now.
cd /etc
Esotericisms, it's connect, ya?
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_80_4166.shtm
random failures. It will install, then it won't boot, missing
files, etc. Like filesystem corruption. I think it's mostly related
to the SATA implementation. I've been working on this for
*weeks*.
show me the line for the new partition as shown from the
command `fdisk -l`
ok, stupid question. my kid setup a core5 box. I can vnc into
it, but I want to tunnel through ssh. sshd shows conigured and
running, port 22 is in iptables, when I ssh to its address from the
localhost it works, when I do from anywhere else on the internal or
externeal network (network firewall points port 22 to this box as
well) I get nothing... What am I forgetting?
Wow. Is this an Intel board or other? I'm running off of an
Asus at the moment, but I've had Intel and ABit (all Core2
Duo)
I've tried two different Intel MBs. Can't remember the 965
board. The 976 is a DX975bx2.
s/976/975/
Have you run Memtest x86 on it?
Yes, no errors.
doug8429, how long did you run memtest?
1/2 hour
NotLarry, nc -z 1.2.3.4 22
doug8429, and even if you had it running for 3 days or more
... in my experience it doesent always reveal all
errors
You think it's a memory problem?
doug8429, possible.
do you have any other memory for it?
doug8429, heat problem?
doug8429, do you see freezes aswell?
No. But I can get some. No heat problem runs cool. No
freezes.
doug8429, do you see random segfaults?
can you run a LiveCD?
Yes, some segfaults, some missing libs *After* I get it
installed. Haven't tried a livecd.
give a liveCD a shot and check for stability/useage issues...
might be a bad controller.
or a poorly supported one
On two different MBs? What MB would you recommend. I've had
enough of this new Intel MB stuff. :-(
true... lemme get the exact model of mine ... running Cent5
on it now, but also had FC6 & 7 on it n/p
They've been awesome in the past. Only since SATA support have
things gone south.
doug8429, any. though I'd go with tyan for nice server
MBs
i'm on an ABit AB9 Pro right now
What about sata bios setup. The intel mbs have 20 options.
How about Asus?
how do I figure out which is my raid device?
doug8429, reset bios to factory defaults, or if it has one,
load a 'conservative' setup.
2/exit
Tried that, but I'll try again.
i used an Asus P5W DH Deluxe
I think the reason the new intel driver doesn't work with my
laptop is that my monitor isn't giving any ID info, is there some
utility to check the monitor ID?
What CPU?
Core2 Duo 6400 (ish)
AMD?
I've got a lot running on AMD's.
my home "server" in on a Asus board
anyone know how I can figure out what my RAID device is? I can't
find it
I only used AMD a few years ago, then quality got bad.
Switched to Intel, now MBs are bad. :-(
heh. AMD's are cheap cheap cheap hosting now
Hardware or software raid?
it is Onboard Nvidia Raid
I say hardware
"Onboard" and "hardware RAID" almost never belong
together.
um /dev/rd0 i think
that's "FRAID" (Fake RAID)
I'd be willing to go AMD if I could find a decent
MB.
no rd0
onboard video or no?
one is a kernel bug; the second is python not getting installed,
so that yum doesn't work
dmesg detects the sata dives
drives*
(after a fresh, new install on my lappy)
Doesn't matter. It's headless.
any ideas on how to find it?
Is you system running?
what does "fdisk -l" tell you?
Asus M2NBP-VM is a nice cheaper board. I wouldn't use it for a
server, but it's good for a workstation.
LiNeTuX, it shows me hda, sda, sdb ... the last two being my
separate sata drives
doug8429, is my system running? of course ...
Hey guess what! If it shows them separately...
ifyou're expecting them to be a single RAID device, either
your FRAID isn't setup right or the kernel isn't recognizing it.
Either way, you should use Linux software RAID
Had to ask. Why do you want to find it?
they should be a single raid
Talk to the RAID controller manufacturer.
I'd suggest using linux web hosting to
handle your software RAID function.
So, what's a good Asus server board (in your opinion)
We told you, you refuse to listen. Therefore, they can tell
you themselves.
Tyan

kernel "BUG:" I've seen a couple of times now, fresh install on a
LinuxCertified(.com) laptop... will see if a "yum update" will fix
it
vallor, yum update.
can you explain why it is "fake raid"?
Because it depends on the driver tricking the OS.
Tyan huh? I had one years ago, not very reliable. I assume
they've gotten better? What CPU with this board?
thanks, I shall (which brings me to bug #2...python didn't
get installed! ...fixing...)
uthanks, I shall (which brings me to bug #2...python didn't get

hrm ... ok
http://thebs413.blogspot.com/2005/09/fake-raid-fraid-sucks-even-more-at.html
I use them all over the place.. never had any issues... still
have some running from 10 years ago.
CPU's - either Opteron or Xeon depending on your budget and
needs
vallor, python has to be installed for a lot of stuff to
work
Have SATA drives running sw raid OK?
what are you planning to do with this box?
Home server
like I said, I use Asus for my home server. You can go with
Tyan, but it might be overkill for hom.
erm, home
I've currently got an Intel MB with a 1.5Ghx P4 and SCSI
drives. Too slow and noisy.
the new ones are so cool and queit
you going to do any VMWare stuff w/it?
Nope. Just a dev server hosting
mainly. Also my mp3 server. ;-)
is there a way to empty trash via terminal?
Shankysv87, yes
then i'd just go with something like an Asus & AMD X2
...
do you care to share that command with me?
cd ~/.Trash/; rm -rf *
thanks
Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
n/p
good luck
Thanks!
ok I read through my dmesg again and I found that /dev/md0 is
my raid, though when I do a fdisk on it it says it can't be
read
you can't see /dev/md0 via fdisk. cat /proc/mdstats i
suppose
Esotericisms, mdX is software raid, and you don't normally
partition those devices
/dev/md0 is software raid.
openbysource, that worked great thanks for the command
no problem
ok so how do I set it up?
Esotericisms, how did you created it ?
hi all

i give up.. really! I got this nice card and I cant use it.
everything points to it using a 2.2 kernel gah!!! Why do things
have to go obselete.
2.2 kernel ? o_O
yup
I think I2O is now in the kernel.
wth are you trying to do ?
really?
then how do you load it?
modprobe iso
i2o has been in kernel for since XX century afaik -_-
i2o
-for
it's loaded when something requires it.
i have a i2o card installed and no raid
it does not see the scsi stuff at all
have you look at your lsmod output already ?
no
duh
why havent you started with that ?
If I am dealing with large files 2+ gb what filesystem do you
all recommend?
ext3.
really? why not jfs, xfs ? or large files?
I started with kinfocenter and it sees the card. if I plug a
standard scsi card in the drives automatically show up, they didnt
with this card.
because ext3 is robust, stable, and fast.
and fedora default.
ill brb with lsmod info
hrm ok
hi... morning..
i'm using FC5, and somehow lost my wallpaper/icons/etc...
i fired up a term window, and as a user other than root, typed
"nautilus"..
i got an err msg...
the err msgs dealt with Xlib:...
any thoughts...
we will want the exact error message
also, FC5 will soon be end of life
2 weeks and counting
fedorared, go on... link your countdown page
connection to ":0.0" refused by server
this might either be a configuration thing, just set your
wallpaper again, or some strange X problem
if you tried to su to a different user use "su --login"
instead
I'm simply trying to get the wallpaper/icons to appear when i
login ..
it's as though "nautilus isn't started at login..
Anvil im at the offending machine now.
the i2o stuff was in lsmod
but nothing is attached to the scsi according to kinfocenter
when i run mdadm -a /dev/md0 it says /dev/md0 not in config
file
md0 is *software* raid
it has nothing to do with hardware raid
ah duh
yeah duh
i am shamed..
this raid stuff is totally new to me.

Missing Dependency: ....
--nogpgcheck is a yum 3.2 option I think
what was the first one missing?

Hey all in FC6 whats the command to asign a PID to a certain
CPU
someone told me once
libQtCore.so.4
or start a process on a certain cpu i got a dualcore
taskset
so how would i run it
taskset
wat are the parameters
man taskset
I'm running FC6x86_64, I'm not sure if that is the problem
The old version of skype works though
0x00000001
is processor #0
so what would be #1
processor 1
0x2
taskset -c
shows cpu's
FC6 has Qt 3.3.
I did yum install qt4
*
Is there a way to update qt??
And? Does qt4 contain that lib?
Did you ask yum what provides that lib?
How do I do that?
yum provides libwhatever
Letme ask
hello cybaea, posterdati
hi ball
hi
hey is there a way for ram allocation as well because FC6 is
bad with it!
it found it here: /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4
Maybe because I don't have the x86 version?
define bad
like im running gameservers even with one its laggy
due to the ram
is there a way to allocate it
what is bad about the allocation?
its not letting the program have enough ram
)
free -m
hello hers
hello bonii
thank you anvil for assistance.. the raid is up.
are you using any swap?

hello khushboo
hi, ball. robot?
that was a couple more paste lines than the limit... but you
have plenty of free RAM
how do I tell yum to install the 386 version? I already did
yum install qt4*
Try installing qt4.i386.
hello karpanov
not exactly ;-)
"nothing to do"
"nothing to do?" A: When yum reports "nothing to do" what
it's really saying is that the "package may already be installed"
(or it doesn't exist), so there's nothing for it to do. (ask
directly: rpm -q package).
hi o/
BUT
is there ram allocation?
You have 306MB free. What's the problem?
i dunno
laggy game server makes me think network latency
hello perlmonkey2, whitehat
Oh well, I have to go
network latency is fine

Sounds about right...

Oh yes, it works well. I loves me some freenx. I just wondered
if there was anything else I could do. I usually see a ~5Kb stream
while using and wondered if that could be made even
smaller.
you have enabled compression? (though that isn't going to do
much for you at those rates and nothing if you use SSH)
Other than that you can try to increase the cache, but I doubt that
is your issue.
I use ssh, and have not disabled the compression.
Yeah, cache is maxed out. I think 5Kb is really good, just wondered
if it could be improved.
I don't know that you can do much more...

Known bug.
Lumberg, you should make a for loop that sends the password, but
only so you can scp a key to the servers; that's a bad way to run
things 8)
jdiwnab, yum update system-config-securitylevel
Use iptables and service iptables save directly.
ivazquez, fixed
Oh, cool.
k thanks
How do you access SSH thru the Mac OS X terminal?
They've moved it out of updates-testing already?
open terminal, run ss
*ssh
Can you use the ~/.rhosts ~/.shosts mechanism? (I have never
tried)
not sure
firestarter is a good iptables config tool.
command"
ivazquez, oh, no, thought it had. repoquery
--repoid=updates-testing list system-config-securitylevel
thats not much more secure then having your shell listening
directly on a tcp port
peters-tx: Won't work.
k
jdiwnab, yum --enable updates-testing update
system-config-securitylevel
--enablerepo
man 5 hosts.equiv and the hosts based auth section in the ssh
man page
either works. --enable is less typing
Or did they change that too? :P
echo "password" | ssh x@x.com
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a
terminal.
"undocumented" feature
I'll do that as soon as the rest of these updates finish
A little - at least the keys have to validate. As I said, I
have never actually used it
interesting
secure
well I do have an ssh-key disribution script.
just have to find out where I put it
Lumberg, maybe there's some SSH PM modules for perl that'd let
you programmatically handle it
The public key goes in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
On the target machine, that is.
Lumberg, newer versions of ssh come with ssh-copy-id
does anyone have a geforce 4 card working in fedora 6?
yeah, authorized_keys...
I'm just being lazy here
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Err...
~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
and from my old script:
~/.ssh/authorized_keys ; chmod 600
~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
True, you'll have to create the dir if it doesn't exist.
JPC1976, fedora drivers?
nv?
zcat, ivazquez thanks
any easy way to downgrade a package with yum?
You need to install a plugin for that.
yum list yum-\*
ahhh, ok
what do i need to do to copy some text marked in firefox into
nano in a ssh session on another server?
select and middle click fails, ctrl-c and shift-ins fails, right
click and select "copy" and then either middle click or shift-ins
fails..
i get the impression copy/paste in general is hairy business on
linux
each desktopmanager or subsystem seems to have its own
buffer
in bind, if I modify an A record, do I have to restart
anything for it to take effect?
What terminal are you using?
torbjorn, both buffers just work for me. using konsole.
id you advance the serial?
advance the serial?
you do have to reload the zone
Oh man...
turns out the selection contains characters from another
charset
You need to advance the serial or you will confuse downstream
DNS server.
*servers
gedit wont save it as latin-1
how can i find out what character this is?
it won't confuse it, it will ignore it.
Okay, it will confuse the users...
can you recommend a good tutorial on how to do it? I havn't
had much luck looking on line.
had to do it line by line, but found it. thanks.
I learned it from an old book, ISBN 0-672-30584-4.
Chapter 10, "Setting Up the Domain Name System".
And I quote... "The serial number must be incremented every time
the file containing this resource record is modified."
the NAG has it and i'm sure there are RH docs online showing
how to do it
tldp.org has that too
hmm. the vim changelog plugin is busted?
Using the perl-RPM2 package when grabbing the changelog using
$hdr-changelog() it seems to not grab the last changelog.
Has any one else experienced this?
woot. /me kisses his irc logs. fixed:

oh sorry

whoa
so, JPC1976, shoot
hey anyone here
hello
i am using fedora core 5
with yum and it gives the error could not find valid baseurl for
repo:core
???
fedora core 5 is dead
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
use fedora 7
fc5 should still have repos
but listen man in the mirror list the target specified does
exist
i am talking about fedora-core.repo the default repo
yeah, remove the repo mirror list and enable a single
repo
ok ill try
uncomment this line
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
thanks it works
np
what was the prob anyway
with the mirrorlist
the mirror list just wasn't available for whatever reason
no idea
I've had it happen too
probably the mirror list is only working for more recent
releases
and one more thing how do i give my local repo more priority
than the others
even though my local repo contains outdated rpms
why not update the local repo then?
and just use that
well my bandwidth is a bit too low
64 kilobits per sec
just update it at night
disable the other repos and only keep the local one
enabled
once a week
That's what rsync --fuzzy is for.
--fuzzy? what's it do?
but my local repo can't solve all dependencies
what fuzzy
rsync --fuzzy
what's that for
Syncing files.
as in
As in your local repo with the official one.
wait suppose we have a pack in my local repo and the rpm i
want to install can manage with the rpm in local repo but still it
goes to download the updated one
You might be able to use the yum-priorities plugin, but no
guarantees.
i dont want it to do that i dont mind having outdated stuff as
long as it works
but yum priorities works with yum3.0 only mines 2.6
and its not possible to update
It'd better be possible soon...
Notice the lack of mention of "Fedora Core 5" in the
topic...
hey and yum gives the error metadata file does not match
checksum
yum clean metadata
ok lemme see now
and you know any ide for c++ in linux
by any chance
anjuta
i don't like the name
and about that find command how to use -exec to exec commands
as in can you put the commands in ' '
anyone can help me out with the find command
#bash
ok thanks
I'm having trouble with a net install, I can't find the
correct directories, it's looking for stage2.img
listen debug
o.o what?
mount cd1 somewhere
make that accessible in your ftp
i don't *have* cd1, that's why i'm using the net
install!
where r u installing from
NET install, so, ftp or http mirror
gimme the mirror
[dEbug]: You need to point to the dir that has Fedora/, images/,
and repodata/ off it.
thanks, ivazquez
i was trying to say that
Note that Everything/ is *not* a valid install source.
and ivazquez do you know the yum parameters for mozilla java
plugin
does anyone have with compaq dl360 servers?
I have a remote management controller card which I think is
keeping me from starting X, just worried about removing it
especially after install.
ivazquez, thanks I've got mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/7/
it's my first fedora install
I don't think gcj's plugin is in Fedora for security
reasons.
noo that mozilla java plugin to view applets and stuff
crap
its not working, looking for disc1/images/stage2.img
so give it upto disc1
It should try for both.

I have a driver I need to compile into my kernel, I have done
it a couple times before but it has been so long I have forgotten
how .. can anyone point me to some documentation on how to do
it?
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source
It's not for Fedora, but it still works.
meh i'm still on the wrong one
ivazquez, thanks
has anyone an idea of ltsp 5.0 compliance on f7?
debug
your basearch is i386 right
[dEbug]: /fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/
thats right
thanks ivazquez, i'm really making this confusing XD
ivazquez, it can't find my kernel source (yum cannot)
it says nothing to do
"nothing to do?" A: When yum reports "nothing to do" what
it's really saying is that the "package may already be installed"
(or it doesn't exist), so there's nothing for it to do. (ask
directly: rpm -q package).
lol
Did you read that page?
rpm -q kernel-smp-devel-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 says it is not
installed ... working my way throught it right now ivazquez
Fedora doesn't have a separate SMP i686 kernel.
just right rpm -q kernel -smp-devel
just right rpm -q kernel-smp-devel
ivazquez, that page you gave me only talks about whether or
not I need the source ... not on how to compile the driver into the
kernel ...
I am on x86_64
Where did you get the driver source from?
I have had it for years ... custom ati_remote.c for usb rf
receiver
well just a couple years
Did it come with a Makefile for 2.6? Or does it get squeezed
into the kernel code?
well the last time I did it I compiled it as a module to the
kernel and not into the kernel (if I remember
correctly)
So then does it have a Makefile?
no
let me double check
i wish there was like some kind of progress meter on the
netinstall :|
actually I take that back ivazquez, it does have a
Makefile
hello all
Then install kernel-devel.
ivazquez, it has a really simple Makefile
ok then?
Then run make.
it errors out immediately ...
by default, does fedora make a swap partition?
yes
ivazquez, http://pastebin.com/929700
****
I think I've heard of a fix for that, but I haven't seen it
myself. Hang on...
has anyone else had problems with enigmail not prompting for
a passphrase when thunderbird isn't run as root?
anaconda shutdown when i wasn't watching :|
livinded, yes. unset GPG_AGENT_INFO && thunderbird

thanks
touch /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)-$(uname
-m)/include/linux/config.h
ok ... trying
zcat still not working
nope that didn't fix it
livinded, dunno then. WFM
ivazquez, didn't work
here is the output to the console http://rafb.net/p/2xAo8055.html
Put up the new error output and Makefile.
ivazquez, http://pastebin.com/929708
At this point it's bugs in the code itself.
damn
I recommend looking in the header for whoever wrote it and
asking them.
must be the new kernel or the 64 kernel vs the i686
I'd offer to test it, but I'm already on F7.
seems like f7 came out awful soon after f6
F8 will be even shorter.
4.5months and counting...
thats fine .. you can test
http://www.phaze.org/mythtv/ati_remote.c
ivazquez, there is the link to the source
How is that different from the ati_remote and ati_remote2
modules already in the kernel?
good question, I am not sure, I do know that that ait_remote.c
has code for a different remote that has different key
mappings
uh oh
I'm going to recommend you try those drivers unless you have
a problem with them.
I think Anaconda is crashing on the "Retrieving installation
information" part
are they already compiled?
Yes.
At least, they are on i686.
how do I use them?
Plugging in the receiver should load the right one.
hrm nope nothing ..
ivazquez, nope, besides my remote has a different mapping then ati
remotes
so I need to use the custom one
The custom one won't work, so I recommend you talk to the
author of the stock driver.
hrm ok
anyone having problems with nvidia drivers?
video ?
i cant start X server
black screeen appears
what gpu?
geforce4 420
it won't work
Simonko19, what driver?
the board's too old
thats why i ve installed kmod-nvidia-96xx
and xorg-dvi-nvidia-6xx
*9
i tried that on my 440 and didn't work
what happened?
blank screen
same as me
yep
i found in a forum
you have add a line in modprobe.conf
i did.. and now i get a black screen instead of the white
one
)
but they say that those boards are supported it has to
work..
i know
in the end, i got my self a nx 6200 and a new system
*myself
well i wont trough away a pc
well, don't
because of that..it has to work..
use it for something that doesn't require 3d
server/media center/.......
i want beryl to work
and play games i need hardware acceleration
i want Catherine Zeta Jones
so what?
but why should they say its supported when its not?
that i dunno
there are even lecacy driver
for even older boards
i know, and they don't work
why do u know?
noob question - are a module and a driver the same
thing?
'cause I tried
JPC1976, what do you think?
jeff is there any other chance to get beryl to work
and have hardware acceleration?
Beryl is no more, they merged with Compiz... what Graphics
card?
well, livna drivers won't work either
lunatik, are you sure? I thought they decided not to
kernel modules are separate files you can load into the
kernel. drivers are often modules, but they also can be compiled
in.
oh ho, looks like they are.
are there no other drivers for nvidia cards?
Where did you read that?
ok
lunatik, forums, but it appears that the information is
unclear.
"Beryl and Compiz (at least the plugins part of compiz) are now
merging"
Beryl is a fork of Compiz. Compiz is the one, if either, that is
no longer being worked on.
there is the 'nv' driver... also the nouveax or whatever... if
neither of those work, you won't get AIGLX working... you can try
Xgl, but that's not supported in any way shape or form on
Fedora
nv works
Uhh, except you're wrong.
but it has no hardware acceleration has it?
It should... check with the DRI project for what Nvidia cards
are well supported.
it has none
They decided to re-merge... because what they were doing was too
similar... Beryl is now Compiz Community Plugins or
something...
Didn't catch that one. You're right, but it's
"OpenCompositing"
Is Fedora likely to work with an Atheros-based 802.11g PCI
card?
Use tab completion... you too ferrum... just 'lu[tab]' and I
actually notice you talking to me.
I use pidgin, which doesn't support auto-completion.
oh hey it does
disregard that o_O
Yes, but install madwifi from livna.
Should've asked me :P
Okay, I don't know what livna is, but I've heard of
madwifi
damn tab key is broken on this keyboard...grrr.
rpm.livna.org has instructions about adding it.
thanks lunitik
http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/madwifi-yum-livna
Use an onscreen keyboard then... it's seriously
annoying.
lunitik, ay ay captain
Try XChat, it's a real IRC client
Thank you.
That's "Aye" ;-)
(or "Ei" if you're Welsh)
lunitik, I'm already using pidgin for every other protocol
:/
lunitik, unless your 'e' key is on the fritz too

hi ball
Does Fedora support DVD-RAM?
okay! that "kernel BUG:" problem I had earlier seems to be
cleared up, as well as my other problems -- amazing what a "yum
update" can accomplish
ball, yes
done
ivazquez, done, next?
ext3 on DVD-RAM?
vallor, buggiest kernel i can remember
oh
file /sbin/mkinitrd from install of mkinitrd-6.0.9-7.1 conflicts
with file from package mkinitrd-5.1.19-1
hello mdolan
hello yum being buggy
X(
in fedora. running service network restart clobbers my routing
table. how do i get around this?
hello
ball, DVD-RAM is UDF I believe
yep
Is that because of the need for 2048-byte sectors?
everytime i run it, it puts me back to default gateway on eth3,
not eth1
How limited is UDF?
ball, Can't remember now... something about packet writing
format
I don't want packet writing though, I want random-access
ball, UDF is the only way you can write to a lot of removable
media
hello qanxi
ivazquez, sorry for some many questions, I do appreciate it ...
whats next after the makedepend?
ball, You *might* be able to use HFS (Mac) format.
Esotericisms, er, makedep. now you can just modprobe it
that won't work for me because it's case-insensitive
question, what if the driver i just compiled is the same as
another driver already compiled, how can I make sure it loads the
right one?
hfs+ isnt case insensitive. but it can be
you have the option when formatting
thanks for the clarification. I've never seen it used the
other way.
it can also be journaled, or not journaled. im a fan
Esotericisms, depmod -a
that doesn't tell me which driver was loaded
Esotericisms, no, use depmod -a instead of makedep
then modprobe it
That's right, my bad.
ok
just second
how do I make it load each time ... add an entry to my
/etc/modprobe.conf correct?
udev and/or the kernel should handle loading it.
just cause it is in the extra folder?
or because I am suppose to modify something?
No, the kernel can know about it since depmod has been
run.
ah cool, thanks
now to see if the remote is working
Does Fedora support hfs+ "out of the box", or is that
something that I have to add to the kernel?
It does, but not the log.
out of the box
It will disable writing if the volume has a log.
Great, thanks
but no writing on a journaled hfs+ fs
Okay, I'll not enable journalling then
but you can easily dis.... ah ok
I'll try burning some discs tomorrow morning when I get home
from work.
bI'll try burning some discs tomorrow morning when I get home
from work./b
I am gonna reboot see if I can get this remote working
...and have a crack at installing if I get time.
Thanks for your help chaps.
on a mac ?
No, not on a Mac
k
gl
I'm told I need hfs+ for DVD-RAM
(or perhaps UDF, but I know nothing about that)
ISO9660 works fine.
don't know anything about that
ISO9660 is too limited
hello davidfetter
hi, ball, all
Oh, does Fedora support FireWire?
sure
Okay. Sounds promising.
Thanks
hi

is it possible to install fedora with qemu?
you can install it trough ftp
have u a second pc at home
?
there are a number of possibilities
you need a lan with ftp server
fork of child failed: Cannot allocate memory" -- 3rd piece of
hardware i've gotten this error on using f7
1. using existing installation: grub + iso
has anybody other than me seen this?
2. network install / hd install
3. qemu..?
do you have a usb-stick + usb-boot support in the bios?
my usb stick is only 128mb, but my external usb disk should
work
but never tried booting from it
The USB install image is only 12MB.
you can use both
usbstick to boot, exthd to put iso on
and then select the iso from the disk during install?
yes
hm ok
and what about qemu, would that work too?
i'm just curious
i don't know about the qemu way, isn't that
virtualization?
yep
Installing in a VM and using it outside isn't
recommended.
you want to really physically install it?
yes
i would recommend the recommended way
ok I typo'd my fstab, how do I fix it .. I am in recovery
mode
nano /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab
in case my usb stick / mainboard is not bootable: can i use
the minimal boot cd and select the iso from the external usb
disk?
Yes.
sure
ok
anyway, usb booting should be possible, unless it's a 5+ year
old pc
guys do any of you know a good howto for raid1 of / all i'm
finding are old ones, currently using FC6
your usb-stick itself doenst need any support for
booting
there is no /mnt/sysimage
what do you mean with recovery mode?
recovery cd?
Did you tell the rescue disc to mount the system?
or did you fell back to a prompt after booting?
fall
(regular booting)
I am sorry wrong terminology, filesystem repair cause it
couldn't find the fstab entry correctly
ok
mount -o remount /
vim {or} nano /etc/fstab
ok thx for your help
how do you gents handle passwordless ssh logins, carry the
key on a USB drive?
select iso from usb disk method
the boot image is on the dvd
thanks I will give it a try
in case you still have to create the usb-disk: create a FAT12
partition on it, make it bootable, and dd the image to
it
you mean fat16?
because the image doesn't contain a partiontable,
well, err, FAT12 works, maybe FAT16 will also work
ok will try
bootdisk.img is a small VFAT image you can put on the
stick.
yeah, that's the one ivazquez , tnx
yep, i just got that one
StevenOdb, isnt it device then mount point?
not with a remount
no on fixing the fstab sorry
just the mount point is enough
the mount command is just to remount your root was read-write,
because it was probably mount RO
what line did you break, and how'd you fix it?
StevenOdb, yes I got that ... referring to fixing my
fstab
ow sorry
it's device, then mount point yer
yeah
maybe type the broken line inhere
anyone here have a fedora server up ?
i have
why?
Simonko19, because you need to reverse the polarity of
/dev/null
w
So is it just different now, or actually randomized?
what kind of server are you running ?
why what do you need to know?
The computer type of server.
ivazquez, just different. there was a perfect storm of peepee
complaints a couple weeks ago.
im need/wanting to set up a domain controller and exchagnish
server
and a file server and print server
ive looked at several distros but ot found one that i really
like
ive looked at several distros but ot found one that i really
like
file server
You don't want Fedora for that then.
i see
samba?
Try CentOS.
ill look into that
man i just wish that there was a free alt to exhange
OpenGroupware?
scalix and a few others cost $$$
woot
i didnt know of that one
Faust-C, zimbra
is it possible for the same driver to get loaded multiple
times?
that one isnt free is it ?
ive looked into that one or maybe my dumbass cant read
fully
has anybody else seen failures to malloc on boot?
fork of child failed: Cannot allocate memory" -- 3rd piece of
hardware i've gotten this error on using f7
ivazquez, is it possible to have a driver loaded multiple
times
greetings
i have problem upgrading from FC6 to Fedora 7
ivazquez, I think I have drivers conflicting
when i choose 'upgrade existing system' , i got error about
/boot and /etc/fstab should be label as devices name etc etc ,
something like that..anyone can help me ?
Esotericisms, which modules are conflicting?
I think I have the kernel ati_remote and a custom ati_remote
driver conflicting
anisfarhana, in F7 all PATA devices become /dev/sda* so you
want to change your fstab at least if it isn't using LVM or some
other method of specification for devices.
i don't get you sir
u mean from /dev/hda* to /dev/sda* ?
anisfarhana, if your fstab has /boot set as hda1 you need to
change it to sda1 for example.
Anyone know if it is possible to share my SMB shares through
SSH? I don't know how to view them...
anisfarhana, likewise, if your grub.conf has any root=/dev/hda2
or similar entry, you need to change it also.
what do you want to do?
Aeon?
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext3 defaults , change to /dev/sdb1 ?
I want people to be able to log into my linux machine through
SSH, and then have the linux machine share the files on my windows
machine to the people connecting
anisfarhana, yeah.
how can I remove a driver that came with the kernel
how about other devices ?
ah
you have to mount
anisfarhana, which other devices?
Esotericisms, have you even tested the one built yet?
with -ctfs
Mount the smb:// directory?
i have other devices from winXP's hdd
the windos share
which i auto-mount it in FC6
well based on /var/log/messages, it looks like I might have to
drivers competing for attention
yes i mean. you want linux user to see a windows share
right?
anisfarhana, yeah, all PATA/EIDE devices.
yes
ok so
edit
fstab
ah ... just to install umbrello , had to pull all kdevelop
dependencies T_T
can i paste my current /etc/fstab to you , then change it ,
then paste new one to you ?
or simply
mount the share with -ctfs
Esotericisms, what was the new module?
anisfarhana, sure.
Thanks a lot
thx in advance
a customized ati_remote driver
Esotericisms, modprobe -l \*ati_remote\*
-cifs surely?
I have two
http://rafb.net/p/liiDUJ64.html
, my current /etc/fstab
im going to change it now
zcat, it returns two files
Esotericisms, is one of them yours?
yes
http://rafb.net/p/LxsYh940.html
, this is new one
Esotericisms, temporarily rename the old one to something
else.
Esotericisms, lsmod|grep remote ; rmmod oldmodules ; modprobe
newmodule
anisfarhana, yeah, that should work.
lunitik what do you mean?
can you guide me too for /etc/grub.conf ?
how do I disable the firewall rules so everything is open
from the commanline
well apparently the remote not working isn't a driver
issue
anisfarhana, post it.
rico tryo
Esotericisms, i coulda told you that. I have the same
remote.
Ricoshady, "service iptables stop"
http://rafb.net/p/tjWkKl71.html
, this is my current grub.conf , and right now i have no idea what
should i change
will that allow all traffic in and out of the system?
Ricoshady, yep
yes
you better run
heh
system-config-securitylevel
i went through a bunch of contortions trying to the IR ati
remotewonder II working last summer. couldn't get ALL the keys
working right.
anisfarhana, you shouldn't need to change anything in
there.
What is 'ctfs'?
so no change for my grub.conf ?
anybody have suggestions for a good UML editor besides
umbrello?? ..
lunitik i dont know.. but i remember mounting smb filesystem
with it
well this driver is taylored specificly to the niveus remote,
which is a variation of the ati remote
No you don't.
You recall using CIFS
zcat, the system is receiving the signals from the remote
just not translating them properly from what I can tell
and lunitik: I thought those command line options looked a bit
odd
"Common Internet File System"... what smb is currently
called.
anisfarhana, right. It isn
't using absolute device names.
lunitik it was ctfs
i ve installed a samba server 1 month ago
Stop arguing, you're wrong.
i drunk much in the meantime but i can remember
ok thanks for your help, im going to use Moonshine after
this
hey guys, it's me again
lunitik think what u want i dont care ))
it didn't work out
ok... just stop misleading people.
i could boot from the usb stick, but the installer couldn't
find the live dvd iso on the disk
Actually guys I think I've found a solution... "man
mount.cifs"
It's actually cifs, not ctfs.
any way to boot the live dvd directly from grub?
It used to be smbfs I am pretty sure.
ok
smbfs is slightly different to cifs, but they are
compatible....
ctfs = "Capture The Flag Strike" in UT
Ok.
i really never typed cifs
lunitik, Everyone was a n00b at some point in their
life.
aeon can you try to mount with -ctfs too? just too see the
output
True, most didn't act they they were knowledgeable
though....
mount -t cifs is what you're remembering.
is there any way to boot the live dvd (x86_64) from
disk?
lunitik, Damn kids!
I don't think there is a -c and -t needs a filesystem after
it
is there a volume control or something that will display mic
inputs so I know what cable I'm plugging in as a test of some
sort
because I can't figure out which on it is
AeonIntention:
aeon do you have any windows share running?
Yes
have you tried with -t cifs?
I'm still readin up on that before I try it but it is
equivelet to "mount.cifs" so I believe it is what I should be
using.
yes just try
Yes, it's a wrapper.
mount.cifs is a wrapper for mount -t cifs ....
what's the diff between a 'wrapper' and a sym link?
Does any one know what channel the rhythmbox dev's hang out
in?
wrapper = multiple parts of a command vs sym = direct
link?
One is a binary wrapper, the other is a harddisk
pointer.
hello, how can i set ownership/permission for audio devices? i
edited udev.rules, but it didn't help
gotcha
chown
shramanad, what did you edit specifically?
added group 'audio' and in udev.rules added GROUP="audio" for
audio devs
shramanad, there is already a audio devices group.
can an alsa devie be shared between 2 x session (2 diff
users?)
if fedora is seeing the signals from my remote but the buttons
it is tied to isn't working what is the next step
shramanad, take a look around line 78 of
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
autopsy, it reads now 'KERNEL="dsp*", MODE="0660",
GROUP="audio"
but /dev/dsp is me:root
dsp is the oss device not alsa
the same is for /dev/snd/*
and the mode is 0600
try 777 what could possibly go wrong
yes, i run chown && chmod script for now, but i wonder
why udev.rules didn't work
did ati release new vid drivers yet?
no
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes doesnt seem to work in fedora. does
anyone know what to use to define static routes?
use the command route add
that wont stick after a networking restart
and route is deprecated in favor of iproute2
oddly enough. static-routes DOES work if i update the syntax in the
file to "any: net....", but adding a default gateway here doesnt
match the expected behavior
if i add a static route to the default gw, it is added to the
routing table on a network restart, but the incorrect default line
is also added.... hmm
argh. wtf does RH feel the need to duplicate all this stuff in
/etc/sysconfig
greenfish put it somewhere else in a script
at start time
then what do i do if another tech comes by and runs a
networking restart.
only root can do that?
are there more roots?
yes
greenfish, edit the script that handles network
restarting?
can you add it to
greenfish, grep static-routes /etc/sysconfig/net*scripts shows
that it's only looking for -ipv6
the script which starts network?
greenfish, the s-c-network util can add static routes
heres the thing. ive got static-routes working. so im left with
"default via 192.168.1.9 dev eth1", but after a networking restart
i also have "default via 192.168.1.9 dev eth3" in the routing
table
eth1 is a 20meg fiber line, and eth3 is a tennsy little dsl
line
at any given time only one should be the default route
cant you just turn off one of this lines?
im sure i could hack the redhat scripts to make this work,
but that leaves me in a dangerous position, as many of those files
are updated during a yum update
true
i can get it working by hand no problem
its a simple routing table
Whenever I try to log into gnome, I only get my wallpaper and
the cursor. What can I do about this?
DEFROUTE=no is added to all ifcfg-ethX scripts also. which
makes the appearance of eth3 as a default route even
stranger
onexused
try
killall -u yourusername
and try again
be back soon
bleh. ill find it. im sure its something dumb
redhat's insistence on duplicating conf files in sysconfig drives
me crazy though
Can anyone tell me how to turn this command line into a line
in /etc/fstab:
sudo mount -t cifs //Bob/Apps /mnt/Apps -o
user=john,passsword=blahblah
why use /etc/sysconfig/network to define the hostname, when
linux already has /etc/hostname!
AeonIntention, consider using automounter
LiNeTuX is that the same as the automount command?
love in an ella-vay-tah
greenfish, no /etc/hostname. the hostname util uses /etc/hosts
and /etc/sysconfig/network
AeonIntention, automounter automatically mounts a fs for you
when you browse it
yeah. thats what i meant. /etc/hosts
opsec, zoom in; snapshot; upload
but adding the hostname there won't work. it HAS to be in
sysconfig/network
greenfish, trace through it all and it makes more sense.
start with /etc/init.d/network
hehe. i understand the way it works. i just don't understand
the decision to further abstract common linux conf
files
sysconfig is used by system-config-* tools
more or less.
ferrum, as well as almost all initscripts.
yup
onexused does it work?
zodiac, presto chango
should I use FreeBSD,CentOS,or Debian for a fileserver?
with a bunch of symbols after it. I had to use the computer's
power button to reboot it; I couldn't get to another terminal
(alt+F1 wrote more symbols). After rebooting Fedora, it froze on a
black screen after *almost* starting gdm. I'm in dual-boot
Slackwar
which ever you feel more comfortable with
I've never used any, but learning a new system isn't an
issue. Just pick a random one

what's new in ext3 filesystem from centos 4 to 5 ?
use debian
debian it is.
Sorry, not used to this IRC client
it will have good FS support and teach you the apt package
tool
after accidental power down, on next start up it didn't show any
error message and didn't prompt for disk checking !!!
can anyone tell me why my x window starts with a blank screen
after installing kmod-nvidia96xx?
Zaki, thank the journal
Simonko19, Do you have any other ideas?
didnt it work?
Didn't you read what I said?
no
Give me a bit to type it again.
whats the normal device for usb removable drive?
zcat, but what's the diff between ext3 from centos 4 to
centos 5 ? what have changed?
