Fedora 3 Test, support for 3Com 3c920 ??
by Bart Jans 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Hello All, I have an Asus Pundit -R with a 3Com 3c920B ethernet card inside. I tried Fedora Core 2, but it did not support my 3Com 3c920 card... I looked for an answer to solve this annoying problem, but I couldn't find anything usefull to me, because I'm a total newbie and I don't understand anything about patching or upgrading ... . I would like to know if the new Test Fedora Core 3 supports the 3Com ethernet card without any patching or what so ever ? My goal is to install MythTV on the Asus Pundit and connect it to my TV, but this is quite hopeless at the moment because I can't connect to the internet ... Please help !

Re: FC3rc5 : how to regen 2.6.9-1.649 kernel tree from kernel-2.6.9-1.649.src.rpm

Although this is implied in your remark, I think it might be helpful to state it explicitly: Because kernel headers define interfaces, etc that are *private* to the kernel and kernel modules. To get the interfaces that are safe and published and *public* for user space programs the headers in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include are the ones to be used for user space programs. Even open source programs need some privacy :-) Andrew

run "mount" with no-user-root en get RW rights
by Bites 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Hello. I have a problem. By my station I need to run the command "mount" to access folders "smbfs" in a server. $ mount -t smbfs -o username=sambauser //server/sambauser /home/localuser/H If I run like "root", it works. While "root" I have full access RW in the mounted folder. But like a "localuser" I have problems: I don't have RW access if mounted using "root". Ok... the solution would be to run the command "mount" like "localuser". I found in documentation the command "sudo". I wrote the configurations. Now, the "localuser" can run the command with success. $ sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=usuariosamba //servidor/usuariosamba /home/usuariolocal/H The problem is: "sudo" run the commando like "root". And the problem above continues. Question: how can I run the command "mount", without use the "fstab" file, like a "localuser", with RW rights on the folder shared to "localuser"?

Repositories, PLEASE ????
by Kim Lux 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

I am still in need of the latest repository addresses, ie the ones that people are using to update their rc5 systems. I've got the rawhide repository on my machine and I have not seen any updates since the beginning of week. An ls of /etc/yum.repos.d and then the contents of a few of those files would do nicely. Thanks in advance. -- Kim Lux (Mr.) Diesel Research Inc

Should Fedora rpms be signed?
by nodata 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

A recent scam involving fake updates to Fedora has highlighted the lack of signed RPMs for Fedora Core. "Red Hat has been made aware that emails are circulating that pretend to come from the Red Hat Security Team" [..] "All official updates for Red Hat products are digitally signed and should not be installed unless they are correctly signed and the signature is verified." -- http://www.redhat.com/security/ It's possibly that some of the people testing Fedora Core are connected to a network of machines that they'd rather not put at risk. It might also be possible that a user testing Fedora Core could even use the same password as another machine connected to that network. Perhaps some users of Fedora Core also have personal information stored on the machine which FC is installed on. I posted a bug. I got a reply, from Duke: "1. fedora core is not a product, it is a project. 2. releases from rawhide are not official." -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=136461 What does the list think about signed RPMs - are they unnecessary for a community project, or are they useful?

CDROM in FC3T3: beginning to panic, fearing that cd will never work! blame hal or kernel?
by Paul Johnson 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

I'm getting more and more frustrated with the inability to mount cdroms in my Dell Inspiron laptop. This was an intermittent problem in FC2, and now with FC3 the problem happens every time. I filed a bug report in the bugzilla, and it was assigned, but I didn't see any response yet. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=137831 In the meanwhile, I have decided to ask here for user advice. WHen I put in a disk, the cdrom device just grinds away and /var/log/messages shows this, repeated forever: Nov 5 09:58:50 pols111 kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Nov 5 09:58:50 pols111 kernel: hdc: irq timeout: error=0xd0LastFailedSense 0x0d Nov 5 09:58:50 pols111 kernel: hdc: DMA disabled Nov 5 09:58:50 pols111 kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete Nov 5 09:59:09 pols111 kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Nov 5 09:59:09 pols111 kernel: hdc: irq timeout: error=0xd0LastFailedSense 0x0d Nov 5 09:59:09 pols111 kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete Nov 5 09:59:15 pols111 su(pam_unix)[3293]: session closed for user root Nov 5 09:59:28 pols111 kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Nov 5 09:59:28 pols111 kernel: hdc: irq timeout: error=0xd0LastFailedSense 0x0d Nov 5 09:59:28 pols111 kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete The hardware and cd are fine, I can boot into WinXP and all is OK. As I browse the web, I see that this cd problem has occurred to a variety of users, and one frequent recommendation is to disable "autorun" by removing Gnome magicdev or KDE Autostart. In FC3T3, there is not "magicdev" anymore, but rather it is absorbed into "gnome-volume-manager" and I am afraid I don't know how to disable it. Even a "killall magicdev" does not help before inserting a cd. That's why I do not think the problem I see is an automount problem. I have gone into gconf-editor and turned off all of the cdrom automounting options. Even if I boot into runlevel 3--without gnome or kde--I still have the trouble when I insert a cdrom. I am beginning to think this is a hal problem, since hal is the new element. Or maybe udev. I've been using Linux a long time and I have never run into an insoluable problem, but this one is scaring me. So, if you have any ideas, I will gladly try them out. -- Paul E.

FC3rc5
by Elliot Lee 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

For your weekend enjoyment, please try: http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/FC3-rc/3/ http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/OS/Linux/Dist/Fedora.RC/3/ ftp://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/OS/Linux/Dist/Fedora.RC/3/ rsync://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/ftp/OS/Linux/Dist/Fedora.RC/3/ http://testing.fedora.redhat.com/tree/ (still syncing, should be ready by 8pm EDT Oct 29.) This is likely to be the last FC3 release candidate, so please give it all the loving attention you possibly can. It does have fixes for some of the more serious issues reported here - your efforts are having results. When testing FC3rc5, things that could use extra-special attention are upgrades and the kernel. Please make sure to file any showstopper bugs (data loss or corruption, major install/upgrade failures) in bugzilla and bring the bug #'s to our attention. In respond to all the queries about "why are the .iso timestamps changing", it's because I'm putting the latest RC in the same location as the older ones, so the files do change. Thanks y'all! -- Elliot

Group, Can anyone here report the state of things with the experimental kernel code for mounting ntfs and making it read/write? Any problems just mounting/viewing? Any tragedies or other reports of write?

Network manager restart..
by Brian Anderson 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

I can make my network manager die fairly consitently, by disconnecting and reconnecting my wired ethernet in order to force the network manager to switch to my internal wireless card and back. The desktop icon disappears and "service NetworkManger status" reports the service is dead. I restart it and it seems to start fine with "service NetworkManger status" reporting the service alive. However, I can't get the desktop icon back. What's the best way to do that? -- __o _-\<,_ Brian (_)/ (_) bikehead(a)amberpoint.com x503

Evolution 2.0.2 Doesn't Display Certain Messages
by Christopher A. Williams 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

I don't know if this is a reported bug or not, but EV 2.0.2 in FC3T3 seems to randomly fail displaying certain HTML formatted messages. Now I know some of you will think this may not be necessarily bad <grin>, but think of it at it appears to not be working as designed or intended. In particular, HTML formatted messages which use CSS tags seem to really have a difficult time. Once one message fails, other HTML messages - and sometimes even plain text messages - randomly can not be displayed. Sometimes this only happens when using the preview window. Opening the message in its own window will then sometimes work - but other times the message will not display no matter what you do. I can't find any pattern to this behavior. Note that these messages *do* display properly and consistently in other mail clients like Mozilla Thunderbird. If nobody has reported this, I will happily file as a bug, but I thought I would check here first to make sure nobody has. Cheers, Chris -- ====================== When the solution is simple, God is answering. -- Albert Einstein
