Problems while installing and compiling a driver for Realtek 8168
by Bart De Soete
Hi,
My laptop got a Realtek 8168-networkcard.
Fedora 5 doesn't recognize it automatically, but Realtek makes it possible
on their website to download een Linux driver for the networkcard.
It's a tarball that I had to unzip and compile as superusern but there are
erros during the compilationprogress.
Can somebody help me, please? Thanks!

Can,t send mail in t-bird or evolution.????
by potat0
This is an issue for my fedora box only. I get the error that "the
message could not be sent b/c connecting to smpt server failed. The
server may be unavailable or is refusing smpt connections. Please
verify that your smpt setting is correct and try again, or else
contact your admin. All setting are the same as xp and my suse
partitions?? Does the permissions for t-bird have to be set to read
and write for users to send mail??? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have posted this in three other sites forums w/o a single reply.

FC4 to FC5 upgrade login sound reeeaaaallll slow
by Philip Walden
I just upgraded from FC4 to FC5 using the download iso images.
It was painless enough, but now when the log in screen is present, the
log in sound plays reeeeaaaaalllllyyyy slow. After I login the rest of
the sounds come on perfectly. When I check out the
System->Preferences->Sounds. There is a momentary blank warning dialog
and then the Sound dialog comes up. All the sounds, including the log in
sound play at the correct speed.
Any thoughts.
Its a HP Omnibook 6000, ESS Maestro-3i, the driver is snd-maestro3.

Re: FC6 Nightly Yum Updates
by Akemi Yagi
Don Maxwell wrote:
> The /etc/cron.daily directory in FC6 does not have yum.cron as was in FC5.
I am still trying to figure out how to set up the nightly yum update as the
way it was in FC5. I can write my own cronjob but there must be a better
way to do this in FC6. With the default installation of yum-updatesd, it
is not updating anything. So, perhaps, the thing to do is to edit
/etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf in such a way that it automatically install new
updates?
Any help or pointer would be greatly appreciated.

Konqueror will not run from menu in FC6
by Arch Willingham
In FC6 (test 2,test 3 and final release), Konqueror will not run. You click on the menu item and nothing happens. This is true on two different machines.
It works if I do this from the command line:
/usr/bin/konqueror
Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-root"
Link points to "/tmp/kde-root"
kbuildsycoca running...
Reusing existing ksycoca
Any ideas?

Tips for passing the media check
by Matthew J. Roth
List members,
I downloaded the FC6 installation images to my Windows XP machine and
used Nero to burn them to CDs, but the media check kept failing. After
some research, I found a reliable method for burning installation CDs
that pass the media check.
1) Boot into Knoppix using the following boot options
- knoppix 2 toram dma
2) Stop the automount service
- /etc/init.d/autofs stop
3) Unmount the CD burner
- umount /mnt/cdrom
4) Mount the drive containing the FC6 images
- mount /dev/hda1
5) Change to the directory containing the FC6 images
- cd /mnt/hda1/FC6/i386
6) Burn the images to CD
- cdrecord -v -pad -dao speed=16 -eject dev=/dev/cdrom
FC-6-i386-disc1.iso
Of course, any Linux distribution should work, but I just happened to
have my Knoppix 4.0.2 CD handy. The important part is invoking cdrecord
with the -pad and -dao options. In order to determine the right speed
setting for your machine, you can use the -dummy option to perform test
runs.
Good luck,
Matthew Roth

Build of VMWARE worstation and FC-6 ?
by don fisher
Has anybody else had a problem building vmware workstation? I receive
the following:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does
not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18). Even if the module were
to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
I am confident that I have the correct kernel source loaded. I even went
out to kernel source and built a version from the base distribution.
I am afraid I do not know what @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE means.
Thanks for your help
