Error Transfering Install Image
by Dan Taylor 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

....first time posting so bear with me on this.... Today I tried installing test 1 on my test box and had a few issues. The installation went as good as can be expected of a test release up until the message "Transfering Install Image to Hard Disk" came up. The progress bar would reach about 80% and hang, then a dialog would appear saying that I may be out of disk space, which is definitly not the problem. System specs are: Pentium II 233MHz Asus P2L97 Motherboard 256 MB PC133 SDRAM (crucial) 60 GB Maxtor HDD I am unable to test the release if I cannot get it installed and I would really like to be an active contributer to this group. Has anyone else experienced the same problem. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give me. Dan Taylor

make cannot find kernel sources (FC4test1)
by J Z 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

I'm trying to install ndiswrapper for my wireless, and when I issue the make command, I get the following output: Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1177_FC4/build; give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make Where are the kernel sources I'm supposed to give to the make command as? I tried downloading the kernel source rpm and unpacking it to that directory, but that didn't do it, and google turned up inconclusive. Thanks very much. -- JZ -- ______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

by Benjamin De Kosnik 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Call me crazy! Go ahead, do it.... Yeah, I want to run the brand-spanking new eclipse RPMS on nice and stable FC3. Hell, the rpm tags seem to indicate this is possible. However, when I go to install the nicely packaged eclipse-cdt-2.02.fc3.rpm , I get an unsatisfied dep, on eclipse-ui However, I don't see that package. Thoughts? -benjamin

Can I Get a FC4T1 Installation Summary?
by David Cary Hart 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Can I avoid the MBR issue in advance of the installation? Is YUM a confirmed problem? Bottom line; What must I do after I download the DVD image to get a proper installation? -- ________________________________________________________________________ Kill Spam at the Source: http://www.TQMcube.com/spam_trap.htm Today's Spam Trap Adds: http://www.TQMcube.com/BlockedToday RBLDNSD HowTo: http://www.TQMcube.com/rbldnsd.htm

Installing FC4 Test 1 - Vmware Workstation v4.5 on WinXP
by Jerry Babcock 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

To all, with a lot of help from the user community I was able to successfully install FC4 Test 1 using Vmware Workstation v4.5. Listed below are the steps I did to make it successful. FYI - The two sources of information that helped me the most were: keithmo's blog - http://kerneltrap.org/node/4030 Woodys post at - http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=8923&tstart=0 Host Configuration: * Custom AMD Workstation * 512MB RAM * 80GB Internal HD * Windows XP Home with all updates * VMware 4.5.2 build-8848 Guest Configuration: * Fedora Core 4 Test 1 (downloaded .iso files) * 256MB RAM * /boot # about 250 Mbyte */swap # about 2* your memory size */ # whatever space you have left on your disk Installation: * Graphical install seems to work OK – no need for "retro" text-mode install. * Avoid the CD verification step. * Install as usual; shuffle disks and finish the installation. * Boot – runlevel 3 * Login as root. * Disable the following services for runlevel 5. #ntsysv --level 5 acpid anacron apmd atd autofs crond cups cups-config-daemon iptables isdn kudzu mdmonitor mdmpd mDNSResponder messagebus netfs nfs nfslock pcmcia portmap rhnsd rpcgssd rpcidmapd rpcsvcgssd sendmail sshd xinetd *Do the following from Woodys post at - http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=8923&tstart=0 I have written a script for doing this on Mandrake 10.1 and Fedora Core 3 (both using Xorg). I have not tested on SuSE 9.2 but this should get the job done. # Backup, backup, backup! Snapshot -> Save Snapshot VM -> Install VMWare Tools # In the virtual machine: cd /root wget http://woody.linif.org/vmconffix.sh chmod a+x vmconffix.sh # Will be /media/cdrom on Fedora Core 3 mount /mnt/cdrom cd /tmp tar xzf /mnt/cdrom/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz umount /mnt/cdrom cd vmware-tools-distrib /root/vmconffix.sh /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl # Done! # To reconfigure vmware tools, run: /root/vmconffix.sh /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl The script is straight forward and commented. The issue is that vmware-config-tools.pl gets the X version by first running: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -version and it expects a response similar to: XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 Xorg instead has: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg and returns: Release Date: 18 December 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7 The config file for Xorg and Xfree86 4.3 are the same format but a different name and as such we set an enviroment variable to tell vmware what file to modify. As always, use at your own risk and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS backup first (snapshot!). Hope this helps, Woody *Update - before you log in via gui #yum -y update *reboot and log in via gui #reboot

Especially while my board, a > tyan thunder, was said to be extremely stable. (well now it is: uptime > 15 days, no reboot in sight) Okay. Well, it now seems like a hardware problem, because I just ran memtest on it, and halfway throughout the memtest the screen blanked (standby). I'm not sure how memtest works, but I think it's not supposed to do that. That implies it's a hardware problem. So, I replaced one memory chip, and it appeared to work. Gnome-terminal no longer crashed it, and I could play unreal... I was just getting pretty excited about finding the problem, and then it crashed again in unreal (nvidia.ko driver, obviously) (random garbage on screen). Replacing the other memory chip makes it crash too. So, it's a hardware problem; it's not the memory, though removing one memory chip gets rid of my problems with gnome-terminal (why?). It could be overheating, even though I have some ridiculous number of fans in, and the case was open when it last crashed. Maybe the video card's just broken - I've gotten it to come slightly out of the PCI slot, and reboot the computer a few times before, which can't be good for the card (it's not my fault - I can't screw the card in, because of Thermaltake's flawed design). How to proceed... I am back on the nv.ko driver, I turned on the RENDER extension, since it seems to make no difference. I've removed my newer memory chip, which I just got recently. I will see if I can get it to crash with the nv driver and my old memory setup. I'll also do a memtest, hoping to get it to completion on each memory chip. I'll take my video card w/ me over Spring Break to see if I can get it to crash on a Windows system. Other recommendations? --------------------- I have another question. This has bothered me for a very long time, but I've never reported it to LKML, since I assumed it was hardware problems. I have wireless Logitech peripherals (both kb and mouse). They're controlled by a usb receiver. After a forced reboot, they fail to work every time. I can't even type my on-boot password at the boot screen. If I turn off the computer, they still don't work after turning it back on. I need to unplug the power cord, wait 5 secs, and plug in back in, and it's fixed. Any idea why that would happen? It's so annoying... -- Ivan Gyurdiev <ivg2(a)cornell.edu> Cornell University
