x86_64 media players
by Neal Becker
I love my new x86_64 system, but I have one problem. I can't find any
players for realaudio or wma, which are the two formats used by almost all
streaming servers I want to listen to.
I have a helix player, but all it does is segfault. I tried building
mplayer, but it thinks x86_64 doesn't support those formats. Any ideas?

Fedora Core 2 - Test 4?
by Craig Cruden
There seems to be a number of outstanding issues:
1. Installation errors [script failures - with certain
options specified].
2. A number of defects that are currently "attached"
to the FC2Blocker bug....
Although this will not speed release of nVidia binary
drivers -- is there any thought another test round?

fc2 t3 kickstart
by Bill Blackford
Using my PXE server, the IP negotiation phase seems to be very sluggish up
to the point where anaconda is displayed. (I'm comparing this behavior to
FC1, RHEL AS 3.0, RH8, RH9, you name it). The syslog on my dhcp host shows
the dhcpack early on, but no rpc.mountd (NFS install) for some time
afterward. This happens during a PXE manual, non-kickstart install as
well.
Also, My downloaded iso's md5's checked out fine, I mounted the isos then
copied them to the nfs install point. I'm getting an error during the rpm
copying phase that 'at.3.1.8-52' is corrupt. I compared it's md5 to that
of the iso mounted version. They're both identical.
Now when I PXE boot and run a manual install, non-kickstart, I get no errors.
I hope I've described this well enough.

NVIDIA Drivers and Test 3
by jason perlow
Has anyone had any success installing the NVIDIA drivers on a AMD 64
system? I'm talking about NVIDIA's optimized drivers, not the ones built
into Xorg.
When I install the drivers, I get this error:
Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would
you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your
kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp
site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.
ERROR: The kernel header file
'/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.327smp/build/include/linux/modversions.h'
does not
exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel header
files
in '/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.327smp/build/include' have not been
configured.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fresh install of T3 (observations)
by Fulko.Hew＠sita.aero
Update to my message this morning:
8/ Regaing the kmix tasklet. It now appears,
(I don't remember doing anything different.)
11/ up2date now says that one of the two RPMs is
available, but when I try to fetch it, up2date
seems to hang during its 'inter-dependency' checks.
(No CPU time is used, and no network activity.)
12/ I had meant to ask about kernel 332 (not 322).
The ISO had shipped with an older kernel,
but the new kernel wasn't available for updating.

OpenOffice.org missing LDAP and Mozilla Address Book Providers?
by Dan
Using OpenOffice.org in FC1, it is possible to create an "Address Book"
datasource which looks at either LDAP, Mozilla, or Evolution address
books.
On FC2 Test 2 & 3, the only provider available for an "Address Book"
datasource is the Evolution provider.
Is this a bug or have these features been removed for a reason?
Cheers,
Dan

Woes continue for HP nx9000 notebook FC2 Test3
by Saad Liaquat Kiani
Hi,
Installing fedora core 2 on HP nx9000 notebook (2.4GHz, ati igp 340M 64
MB vga ) is getting frustrating. I will appreciate if anyone can help me
out here.
I posted a message after installing FC2 test 2 here
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-April/msg02082.html .
The installation proces is without any hitch. After installation adn
first reboot, i switch to 'show details' to see what is going on. The
last message that i get on the screen is something like this ... "X
server not configured ... running x configuration' or something similair
to that. The screen goes blank. System hangs. All known key
combincations to bring t out of "Balck screen of death" fail. I force
reboot. Now the system hangs even before i get mouse control to press
the 'show details' link.
I am a newbie. I dont know how to force startup in tet mode only, or
failsafe or single user mode. Therefore I cannot provide any logs right
now, but will surely do so if anyone can help me out with that ...
thanx in advance
saad
P.S. during the three installs i hae set hte monitor type to generic LCD
with different resolutions each time .. 1400x1050, 1280x1024, 1024x768
