RE: nvidia driver kernel 2.6.9 667
by Brian Callahan 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Hmmm - don't know either :-( I installed the old driver, then the new driver again and now it works. Maybe an old module was still loaded as I keep testing . New driver works for me now no problem.

Public SPEC files please
by Dag Wieers 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Hi, Since I don't know who to address this to, let's address this to all :) I guess it's time again to ask/beg for making those SPEC files public. All of them if possible: Fedora, Raw Hide, RHEL, fedora.us, livna.org. If you want people making compatible packages, find problems or doing general QA, having those SPEC files available instead of SRPMs is crucial. I don't want to go download another 5MB to have a 5kB file and see 5 bytes changed. Also a mailinglist that holds either the CVS commits or daily diffs of these files would be very (*VERY*) appreciated, although if these SPEC files are available I can do that myself easily. So Red Hat, are we ready for that ? Or shall I wait another year ? PS Some of it could even be "legally" required in the sense that eg. fedora.us started its amavisd-new package from my SPEC file and I can't even peek to see what exactly they have changed. Bugzilla has some broken links, but there it ends. No SRPM, no SPEC file, no clue :) -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

OK I added the line and then ran the installer but now I get a different error /root/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.c:3512: error: `num_nv_de vices' undeclared (first use in this function) make[4]: *** [/root/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [_module_/root/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1/usr/src/nv] Error 2 make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2 NVIDIA: left KBUILD. nvidia.ko failed to build! make[1]: *** [module] Error 1 make: *** [module] Error 2 -> Error.

FC3RC5 boot hung
by Gene Heskett 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Greetings; Its been hung, but not crashed, the keyboard still works & all that, but I've been looking at the "Configuring kernel parameters" line on screen now for about half an hour. Anybody know what I should kill when I reboot to the rescue disk? Also, which dir, in rc3.d or rc5.d? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Gnome cannot start continued
by Darek Borkowski 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

I tried to remove /tmp contents but it deos not help. WHen I do cd /tmp rm -rf * there is no difference. After once logout Gnome i cannot login Gnome again until I start KDE once. when I remove also hidden files cd /tmp rm -rf .??* then thex X does not start anymore until reboot. The GDM deos not show nothing but background color. This makes me angry. I wonder if it is Fedora only problem or just Gnome problem. Darek Borkowski

NetworkManager Issues
by Amitabha Roy 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Latest rawhide networkmanager is now asking for a password for a wireless network which I know is not encrypted! It does this several times and then connects normally (after I get rid of the password window). However, the applet still shows a lock next to the network name which implies that it thinks it is still a WEP enabled network. What gives ? Btw, can someone please tell me how to run NetworkManagerInfo on gnome startup automatically, rather than open up a console and run NetworkManagerInfo ? Amitabha Console Messages on running NetworkManagerInfo Forcing device '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth1' and network 'RoamAbout Default Network Name' without passphrase nm_device_wireless_network_exists () looking for network 'RoamAbout Default Network Name'... found! (encrypted) But it isn't encrypted! NetworkManager-gnome-0.3.1-3 NetworkManager-0.3.1-3

I don't have a spare hub I'm afraid, I'm pretty much stuck with the configuration that I have. I presume if I run ethereal from my FC2 box it will not pick up anything "interesting" that is being broadcast from the FC3 box? What things should I check on the FC3 box, are there any log files that will show what happens during boot etc? Regards, Marc

> > You sure you wrote down what you meant? > User programs should compile against /lib/modules/...??? Arggh! --- no of course not. Wow, reading that again was a nightmare. The overlflow bit was diffently set this time when incrementing my stupidity counter. I think its time to change careers. I think I can manage to repeat Do you want fries with that? - and - Would you like to supersize that for only 69 cents? (as long as I avoid "Do you want fries with that for only 69 cents?") clicking on that unsubscribe link now. Andrew
