FC1 compatible with Ximian Desktop?
by ggv＠comcast.net 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi all, I am preparing an upgrade from RH9 to FC1. Is it possible (or recommended) to run Ximian XD2 on top of the Fedora distribuiton? Did Ximian ever say if they will officially support Fedora releases? I like the overall look and organization of the Ximian desktop, but would go without it if there would be trouble in keeping Fedora up to date. Thanks in advance

Broken Pipe Error Message
by Gary Waters 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Good day everyone, First, as always, I issue my newbie preamble. I hereby declare that I'm very green in Linux, etc... I logged into my user account and opened up a konsole and went into text-mode setup to changed my firewall settings. I typed: su root then typed my password then typed setup Once I enter text mode I get a broken pipe error. I therefore cannot get into the firewall settings. If I reboot the machine and try again everything works fine until I try a second time. Then the broken pipe error message once again appears and I cannot use text-mode setup. This is on my home machine. I forgot to look to see if there was spefic information after the broken pipe error before I left for work. The error does not occur in root to my knowledge. I also had an "octet-stream missing error," which was solved by googling for a solution. The broken pipe information I found was a bit too vague, which is why I'm posting to the list. I would greatly appreciate any clues that would point me in the right direction towards a solution. Thank you! Gary

Run the command 'redhat-config-services' (no quotes and no options needed) as root and enable yum in the list of checkboxes for your appropriate runlevel (usually this is runlevel 5). This sets up a cron job to run yum automatically overnight for you. My guess is that if your machine is not on at update time, then anacron will catch it up for you when you restart, but I have not tested that. Erik

Suspend to disk
by Thomas Kirby 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi - I was wondering if anyone had managed to get software suspend to disk working on an ACPI machine with FC1. I have an ACPI laptop, running FC1. I would very much like to get suspend to disk functionality, but I looked at the software suspend website and got the impression that installing it would be a pretty tough job. If anyone has managed it, I would like to hear how well they got on.

up2date - why does it take so long???
by Todd Wolcott 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

I am running FC1 on a PIII 733 with 128 MB of ram. FC1 runs generally well on my machine, but up2date has never worked well. My connection is on the backbone of a major U.S. research university, so speed is not an issue. I just reinstalled FC1 from CD. Of course, there were a ton of updates in the Red Hat Network Alert tool. When I run up2date, it takes forever. Most of the updates are coming at about 10-15k per second. I know there are other tools out there to run updates, like yum, but I want something that is automatic. I am the type of linux user that doesn't want to touch a command line. I am not in the computer field, I just have a geek streak in me that is attracted to linux. 1) Why is up2date so slow? Is there something to speed it up, like chances where the updates come from? 2) What tools out there are there to run automatic updates? Thanks, Todd __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
