getting: slDSP: open: Device or resource busy WARNING: slScheduler: soundcard init failed. when trying to play torcs. sound card is detected as an intel 82801DB AC'97 Audio Controller and uses the i810_audio Module...according to the soundcard detection utility. Which are correct. Sound works fine for everything else eg.Frozen Bubble, Cromium, xmms, gmplayer. any ideas? ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Yum Update Permission Denied from Red Hat
by Met ＠ Uber 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

Every time yum tries to connect to the following address I get a 403 Forbidden error. If this repository is down, how does up2date keep telling me that there are 7 new available packages? And what should I set yum up to so that I can get them? http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide Thanks in advance, ~ Matthew

Mirror
by Thomas DuVally 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

If I wanted to create a local mirror of the fedora ftp site, where should I start. I know debian has rsync available. Should I just run mirror and be done with it, or is there some reason this is not desired? -- Thomas DuVally Lead Sys. Prog.

Re: CNET News Article

Hi Jeff, I have been following your interesting posts to the Fedora list and and I certainly appreciate your concerns as well as your insightful comments. My company currently has a server farm that is all FreeBSD. Before you decide to switch to FreeBSD for stability and continuing updates and patches, I suggest you have a look at the FreeBSD update cycle (www.freebsd.org/security) Currently the oldest release that is supported is 4.7 with 4.8 being the current release. 4.9 is in beta. 5.1 is out as a "new technology" release. 4.8 goes to end of life in March of 2004. There will be no support for it after that! Generally there have been three releases a year and any release older than a year is EOL. The patch/update mechanism is to continuously update to the current distribution. So the short story is look before you leap on FreeBSD. -- Dave Rogers Plano, Texas

I have news about the Silicon Image 3114 SATA chip...
by Krishna Mattegunta Kant 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

I just got a reply from SI tech support regarding the 3114 4-channel PCI-based SATA chip which is on some motherboards (notably on the Abit IC7Max3 motherboard, on which the 3114 chip provides 4 of the 6 SATA channels). Here is the reply: "3114 Linux drivers are being finalized and wil be made available for download on our support site as soon as they are fully qualified. We expect them to be ready in the next few weeks." Woohoo! --Krishna

Installer Quits Right Away
by Felix Miata 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

I'm trying to install severn3 on a system that had rhl9. install exited abnormally -- received signal 11 is the message I got right after OK for network IP addressing, two tries in a row. What does signal 11 mean? Is this a severn bug preventing me from installing from NFS? -- "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom...." Proverbs 9:10 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
