bug fixing is a free service .. feel free to jump in anytime.

i know, i was just joking
actually i already tried to fix it myself, but i couldn't get far

looked like a gripe to me

zodiac, how many alt nicknames have you registered? so far i've seen opsec, specops, zodiac, tubgirl, and fsck

sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone

that's a first

should i register with you first?

lol

zodiac, go on. list 'em
goatse?, lemonparty?...

hum, why would yum try to access some /var/tmp directory as repository when i want to download the source of a program?

i'll leave if that makes you happy

zodiac, oh, i see. you mistook my stupid Q as an assault on your 'privacy'?

yum install yum-utils
yumdownloader --source packagename

that's already installed..
that's what i did

so rpm -ivh package.src.rpm

yum.Errors.RepoError: Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-duckel-JQGB6T/fedora-source
that's what i ge3t
-3

don't know why it's downloading there

mh are there any kde updated packages? (for kde 3.5.7)?

should be /var/cache/yum

yeah.. exactly

ask yum

can't i download source packages as a user?

yum says 'no'

e_, not if that packagelist hasn't been downloaded yet
e_, do it once as root, then it'll work as a user the next time

heheh i mean if there are any plan to release these packages in updates or updates-testing
otherwise i can build 'em myself, no problem

hm, shouldn't that already been done? just 10 minutes ago i run yum update

Hi could someone please confirm the latest version of mkinitrd available from the F7 repo please.

ask yum

I have done - hence why I'm askinging someone to confirm

yum info, yum provides, yum search
ftp://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora

Name : mkinitrd
x86_64
6.0.9

mkinitrd-6.0.9-5.i386.rpm

thank you

np

ok - so my repo is not out of date

btw, you could have done it yourself.

ikonia_, no, hasn't made it to updates yet; still in updates-testing: repoquery --repoid=updates-testing list mkinitrd

thank you
zcat seems strange to release a kernel that has a dependency thats not yet met
surly better to hold of on the kernel until deps are met
zodiac I knew what I had - hence why I wanted someone to confirm

which kernel would that be?

I did check myself

ikonia_, no its not...i got the same problem here
Missing Dependency: mkinitrd = 6.0.9-7.1 is needed by package kernel

its not a problem, just seems a bit sloppy

.6.21-1.3228.fc7 set to be

releasing a kernel before the dependencies are met

i agree

rimad, that kernel is no where in f7. you using davej kernels

openbysource yes it is

ikonia_, rimad, you'd probably want to wait for livna's kmod updates anyway.

I'll just be waiting for a stable release

you going to davej page and getting those kernel. why ? you not stasified by fedora's kernel

openbysource I am not going to Davej's page

what do you mean davej kernel?

openbysource, ... there is a kernel update.

zcat, in f7 ?

hey ppl

openbysource yes

is it in updates/

openbysource, :/

or testing-updates/

openbysource, kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7

i don't see it here. maybe mirrors haven't synced up.

i've been using fed core 6 on my laptop for about 3 months now and i love it... however my girlfriend hates it. I tried reinstalling windows for her today but the screen goes blank after saying something like "checking your system's configuration"... does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

hence why I was aking someone to confirm the current mkinitrd version in the repo

openbysource, now apologise

openbysource, probably. i just booted it though. without nohz=off this time, to see if that was fixed.

yep, a lowlevel format once fixed that error for me..
i tried everything else, there might be better ways, but thatÃ's what helped me

rimad, why should I ? when i don't have it yet. i will only think you got that from koji or davej

Lankke whats a windows install issue

openbysource, you are irrelevant

whoaaaa
stop that

and you just assume stuff and you were wrong, now apologise :-)

lowlevel format

rimad, maybe. but that's what it is right now

no-need for a personal web hosting attack

okay... how do i do that?

rimad, that is how i am.

that depends on your laptop, i am afraid i (we) can't help you there

ok
thanks

easier to get a new gf
one that appreciates fedora.

hahaha
i don't think so... since we have 2 kids and are getting married next month

sacrifice your kids
its worth it

well, still

easily solved for the "right price"

hahahaha
anyone know if fedora comes with a hardware eraser?
i mean
hard drive

fdisk
parted

i had a look at fdisk

fdisk /dev/sda
d
w

well i see that they have moved kernel update to updates/ but not mkinitrd to updates/ it still is under update-testing/

that was already deduced einstein

hehe
.o(stating the obvious?)

stating the already stated.

im running FC4 how can i recompile my kernal?

good stated

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel

openbysource, please stop...
you are taking us to stone age

rimad, i don't see your *** moving. :P

just stop

.

now there is no kernel update, they removed it or something...
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

fc4 is not supported here
there are no more packages for fc4 .. and i'm not sure anyone has them hosted
f7, centos, rhel

how can i upgrade then?

eth01, name your webhost

i do it myself

uhm, or maybe go for fc6 ^^
f7 seems still a little.. uhm.. wip

can i use yum?

better not

well how can i then..
why not yum?

because it might work, it might not
go for the dvd iso, choose upgrade..

not recommended .. you might end up with a non booting system

its a VM..

you are welcome to attempt any method you wish

even easier to boot from a dvd iso ^^

its a VM..

also a vm still has to boot, right?

you can google for peoples methods
however, i've never seen anyone with knowledge here recommending that or instructing anymore on it

yes no cd drive though

well .. you had to get it on there somehow

? vm should be able to boot from an iso file

mount -o lopp
*loop
you can mount it and start the install
bbiab

is there anyone here who has set up the sun J2ME hosting wireless toolkit on f7?

hey... what's the fdisk command to completely format all existing drives (in my case hda1 and hda2)
when i say drives... i mean partitions

fdisk is only used to create/delete/modify partitions

mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 and mke2fs -j /dev/hda2

how would i mount the install?

anyone having problems with nvidia driver?

what type of problems?

how can i boot in a virtual machine from an iso?

i get a white screen when xorg tries to start

Simonko19, ask you question

it flickers around sometimes it gets gray

eth01, create a fully virtualized guest via virt-manager. it will ask you for the iso

eth01, iln vmware you can make a virtual cd rom point to an iso
then boot the vm

Can you pastebin xorg.conf ?

well

which card do you own, which driver do you uses

geforce4 420

how can i do this?

and i tried the native nvidia driver and those on livna
kmod-nvidia-96xx
same problem

yu shouldn't ever tryed the native nvidia driver, you have a broken system now

i know
lol
hold on i have to start the pc

why not use the native driver?

ok

um ok

wouldn't installing the rpm replace the native one?

only in config
it won't be removed....i think...

i m installing kmod-nvidia now
with yum
i cant execute
livna-config-display
GTK cant be imported.. set display var
whats the ftp command to upload something?

put

http://rafb.net/p/AJpMql85.html
this is the xorg.conf
kwizart?

ok
why did you disabled composite ?

/var/tmp/rpm-xfer.0tKSNw: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
:/

i havent done nothing
livna-config-display did

ok then enable it

which line?

last line - restart and you have to set beryl to uses nvidia and cow

beryl where is that?

do you uses compiz ?

no beryl

well chat do you call glitches ?

i enabled composite

it flickers around sometimes it gets gray

doesnt work
well halfof the screen is white
and half black

whith what ?
no compiz/beryl uses ?

no
i dont start beryl at start time

when this append ? all the time or after some time ?

always
at boottime
i have to type ctrl alt f1

then it disappear ?

in order to login
no no

ok

it does not
but its just white and black screen

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old |grep EE
and/or cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE

my yum isnt working

there is just
ww warning ee error ni not implemented

-bash: /usr/sbin/yum: No such file or directory

just warnings
unable to read EDID

are you using dvi or vga connector ?

unable to get display device CRT-0
is that this rpm
xorg-dvi-nvidia?
ACPI failed

/var/tmp/rpm-xfer.BrxF2T: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2

anybody know of any good fast zero write utilities?

zero write?

are you upgrading your fedora by using yum now?

you mean to overwrite hdd?

yea basically

eth01, start over. you said you had fc4, in some VM. *WHAT* VM? VMware? Xen? On your local machine? a crappy webhost?

just use

there is no such xorg-dvi-nvidia rpm!

dd if=/dev/sda1 /dev/zero bs=512

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda

ah yeah sorry viceversa

dvi is the connector between you graphic card and you monitor

confusednoob, dd. or use the secure wipe utils on the 'ultimate boot cd' or the 'boot and nuke' cd

ok ty zcat

boot from a rescue cd and run dd

i dont kow kwizart i just installed everthing with yum

will that remove all windows and secure linux web hosting partitions as well as mbr's bootloaders and grub?

yes

well i say to you that there is no xorg-dvi-nvidia package, this is normal, it does not exist

ok ty

there was i m shure
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.i386
ah drv

by the way are the new ati drivers out yet does anybody know?

i dont know.. my fedora freezes every 3-4 hours because of ATI
i hope they comesoon

me too it sucks that the current ones arent compatable with the version of x with fedora7

anyone has a cool impress template?

thats what i read anyway so i never even tried them

if i want to dual boot with windows... what sort of partions will i need

i didnot either

i suggest installing windows first

hi

lankke the one for linux and the one for windoooos
and install grub on mbr

how can i setup extra routes with default network scripts (e.g. a multicast-route)?

well... fedora is already installed unfortnately
i'm reinstalling... because i can't install windows

route add
lankke whats the purpose of install windows?

when you try to install windows all you get is a black screen huh?

i would actually like to format completely then start with windows... but i can't find a way to format everything
yeah
the purpose is games and webcam
i love fedora... but my wife hates it

games work with
wine

she want's windows

even better than on windows

wine works with some games but it can be a pain

wine is crap man

its not

in what place?

depends on what type of games you want to play also

well i don't play tetris so it's no good for me

i m not talking about tetris dude
micW what do u mean?

look... it's just easier on a laptop like mine to have windows as well as fedora

i wnt to add the route to a fedora config file to have it started with the network

too many config problems

micw what do you want to start?

the route

you mean routing packages?

well only way i have figured out to install windows after fedora has been on there is to wipe the whole drive

see above: how can i setup extra routes with default network scripts (e.g. a multicast-route)?
i want to add extra routes to network configuration

i told u

e.g. in /etc/sysconfig/...

use route
add

hey.. can someone tell me how to completely format a hard drive

the dd thing is on the fedora rescue cd correct?

i have fc6
and i want to start completely fresh

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512
its wrting all 0

ahh ok ty

but this will take very long

stop PMING me and versioning me k thx

there you go Lankke

Use a larger bs. 16M should be fine.

eth01, you're a damn weirdo.

likewise.

lol

lankke whats your wifes problem that she doesnt like fedora?

she just wants windows... that's her problem.
There has been too many problems on the laptop

be strict and dont install it

lol, my wife runs windows with a vmware for Fedora.

if she wants a computer she has to use linux

to be honest I want windows back as well because I can't play any of my games properly
i have fedora on my desktop
that is enough

games are just propaganda

chek out cedega

i like propaganda

i dont
because people go into making war because of it

don't get me started

i'm not out to make war
i just want to know how to format my fricken hard drive

http://www.transgaming.com/products/cedega/

either get the ultimate boot cd or put in your fedora disk and type rescue

i have man
i'm in the rescue part now
it is waiting for commands... that i can't find anywhere
is there a format command in the rescuee

what is the output of fdisk -l

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512

-l List the partition tables for the specified devices and then
exit. If no devices are given, those mentioned in /proc/parti-
tions (if that exists) are used.
sonar dont u have manpages?
))

well... i have /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2

which is fedora on?

then you want to do this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512

lankke but why do you want to write all zeros on it?

hey folks

thanks very much guys

are you selling the hda?

because of windows
windows installer gets confused by all the linuxish on a disk...

lol

because the Aspire 5100 took me months to configure... I will reinstall windows then reinstall linux

the installer will still run but you cant see anything so its pointless

and yes I have man pages, I needed to know what the output from the command was to determine which drives he had available.

hello
i am h aving a kernel panic on boot after upgrade to f7

how did you upgrade via yum or the dvd

dvd
hold on, let me get model # and error
it's during udev portion

i need impress templtes anyone has cool ones?

anyone managed to get hda-intel to work on F7 ?

i upgraded from fedora 5 to fedora 7 and can't get my wireless working. it is a broadcom that was working correctly under 5, but now i can't see wlan0 device
i have reinstalled ndiswrapper, but it still doesn't work

upgrades are really not recommended. It is much better to do a clean install.

f7

by any means

says who? everything worked great except for this

u0m3, how do you mean?

that is in invitation to broken-ness

i appreciate that... however without trying to be rude, as a "naive" user i would expect upgrading to work

(hp pavillion ze4400) Kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable process.
that's what i get with f7

says the people responsible for fedora.

u0m3, you mean sound ?

Arfdee, I mean that when I installed fedora it detected the sound-card correctly but no sound came out of the laptop speakers... the card is

fedora is a fast paced, short life cycle completely FOSS os

u0m3, what version of fedora ? and what lspci -v shows ?

oh sorry

openbysource, fedora 7

that is a soundcard
i am using snd-hda-intel

upgrading from one version to the next can be done .. however, fresh installs are recommended for the best web hosting support

Sonar_Gal, you there?

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DistributionUpgrades

many people do not like to troubleshoot "frankenstein" systems

Sonar_Guy, sorry
(hp pavillion ze4400) Kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable process.
it gets that on boot in f7

lol, thats ok. Not much information there, have you checked bugzilla?
