I am having problems with updates for several rpms on my fedora system. Samba is the one I am trying to get most but am having the same problem with others too. I get to the point where the Package List shows up and I select the updates that I want i.e. smaba 3.0.2-7.FC1 and then click on "Forward" on the package list screen and then the Progress Dialog shows up but then stops there. Nothing happens after that. I have left the system alone overnight several times to see if eventually something would happen but, nothing does. I wake up in the morning hoping to see that it is finished and I can install it but, nothing. My connection is good because I can browse the net to any web site or check my Ximian Evolution email. What is going on? As I mentioned this happens with several packages. Most others are fine. Please help. Thanks, Paul

asus A7V600-X
by David Pettersson 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

I have tried to get sound to work on my new computer. The motherboard is asus A7V600-X and has the via VT8237 south bridge. I have seen a few messages about a similar card earlier but haven't got a clue about this jet. This is what I have tried. 1. configure at install. The card is detected as vt8235 (or something) and no sound is heard. The module used is via82cxxx_audio 2. using redhat-config-sound. This seems to be the same thing as 1. 3. install via's driver, this gives complaints about module parameters. 4. reinstall via82cxxx_audio, this gives similar messages as in 3, as follows: /sbin/modprobe via82cxxx_audio /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.o: insmod via82cxxx_audio failed Please, can someone give me step by step instructions, I'm really lost. I'm not an expert when it comes to kernel modules and things like that. Or if someone knows that this does not work with Fedora Core, tell me. By the way, I checked out alsa's page, and they do not list this chipset.

How to unset up the firewall... :-)
by Fabricio Santos 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

Hi everyone, After delightfully reading through the early December thread "How to set up the Firewall" I have decided to post my firewall problem with a similar subject. Here is the full story. Recently I had a crash on my Linux (mandrake... baaaaad mandrake... :-) box at home and the boot partition blew up! :-( I have then decided to install Fedora. Now I can access SSH (port 6666) and HTTP (port 8080) from inside my network (192.168.1.0) but when connecting from the Internet TCP SYNs are not responded to. It clearly shows there is a Firewall set up. I have disabled iptables and it still fails: [root@sereia root]# /etc/init.d/iptables stop Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ] Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ] [root@sereia root]# /etc/init.d/iptables status Firewall is stopped. Packet trace during test from The Internet (origin IP was changed): [root@sereia root]# tcpdump port 8080 tcpdump: listening on eth0 13:31:43.687416 13.13.13.13.40151 > 192.168.1.1.webcache: S 2402768476:2402768476(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 13472363 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) 13:31:46.683547 13.13.13.13.40151 > 192.168.1.1.webcache: S 2402768476:2402768476(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 13472663 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) 13:31:52.687561 13.13.13.13.40151 > 192.168.1.1.webcache: S 2402768476:2402768476(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 13473263 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) 3 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel [root@sereia root]# So, no reply from request on port 8080 (tcpdump is automatically mapping port 8080 to webcache protocol). The weird nonstandard ports are explained by the inability of my ISP which blocks ports under 1024� To secure their users they say. :-( Fedora also ships with a built in firewall which can be managed by the text based lokkit utility (which I found out in the other thread that it is not lokkit after all... as I have no X server installed on this machine). Using lokkit I tried to disable the firewall and also tried to enable it and specifically allow ports 6666 and 8080 but still no joy. So I'm clueless. Do you know anything I may be overlooking? -fs --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time.

What's wrong with my Java installation?
by Vikas.Bhasin＠britishairways.com 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

Hi All, I recently installed java on FC1, but i'm not able to run anything. Even if i try to execute programs like 'java' and javac' i get an error ; "usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" upon checking the package i find that its 'jdk-1.3-fcs' that's installed on my system. What does 'fcs' stands for? I also tried to set the PATH and CLASSPATH but i get the same error as above. Later i tried installing "eclipse IDE" which supposidly has its own copy of java and doesn't need to install java seperately (not very sure). but that also didn't work. Can anyone suggest what's wrong? Thanks and Regards, Vikas

clearing out /tmp safely
by Matt Hansen 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

Hi guys I would like to clean out my /tmp partition as per the tip at http://fedoranews.org/krishnan/tips/tip014.shtml. However, just one small query. Is there any folders/files in the /tmp directory that shouldn't be deleted? My /tmp currently contains directories such as gconfd-root, kde-root, ksocket-root, lost+found, mcop-root, a number of ssh-*, and files such as crxmlqWMLkc, a number of libGL.la-*, sockets such as mapping-root,..etc. Will all these entries safely be recreated when needed? Just a precautionary measure; I realise it is after all a "temporary" directory! TY -- Matt
