HD corruption
by Poohba
This is probably not a Fedora issue but i am using Fedora Core 1 so I
thought I would ask. Sunday I was able to access /mnt/Music/ in its
entirety. Last nite I could access everything except for
/mnt/Music/Full Albums. Today I can't access anything. When I 'ls
/mnt/Music/' I get:
ls: /mnt/Music/79?..: No such file or directory
ls: /mnt/Music/�▒@�@ /: No such file or directory
ls: /mnt/Music/?
&�?w.??▒: No such file or directory

When I came home Sunday afternoon my system was locked up. I rebooted
and I guess everything was fine because I was able to listen to my music
over the web while at work. When I got home last nite i could not
access the Full Albums dir. Now all of the dir look weird.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have /mnt/Video which has
home videos and pictures that i really don't want to loose. It would
always mount at boot. mount -t vfat /dev/hdb2 /mnt/Video but now i get wrong fs when trying to mount it manually because it won't mount at boot

Matlab-6.5.1 under FC1 installation problem
by Joachim Backes
Hi,
does somebody have similar problems in FC1 when installing matlab-6.5.1 under FC1?
<cdrom mount path>/install dies with:
permission denied.
Reason: the binaries in
<cdrom-mount-path>/update/bin/glnx86, for example xsetup, are not executable.
The file-command reports:
/mnt/cdrom/update/bin/glnx86/xsetup: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU
/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
Some workaround?
Regards
Joachim Backes

apt package list? SOLVED
by Dave Stevens
I recently posted here asking how to get a package list for apt-get. Following
the advice of Panu. I've since installed synaptic, a GUI front end that lists
and categorizes available packages and installs them as well. Very nice.

Connecting to Microsoft VPN
by Brian Sawert
I'm running FC1 on an old Thinkpad 600. It's been wonderful, even as I've
slugged it out getting the MWave modem and quirky soundcard to work. But
now I think I'm really stuck.
I'm trying to connect to a Microsoft VPN at work. I think that PPTP is the
way to go, but I lack the basic knowledge for setting it up as a client.
Has anybody done this, or have some ideas of what to try?
Thanks!

ldconfig error?
by Ted Gervais
I installed Fedora core1 about a week ago and while things are generally
pretty good I get this error when I run 'ldconfig -v'.
libssl.so.4 -> libssl.so.0.9.7a
libanl.so.1 -> libanl-2.3.2.so
libdb-4.1.so -> libdb-4.1.so

libBrokenLocale.so.1 -> libBrokenLocale-2.3.2.so
/usr/lib:
ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/libgmpxx.so: No such file or directory
----------------------
After I get this error and can run ldconfig -v again, and there is no
error. But it does return the next time I turn this machine back on.
Just wondering about why this is happening and should I fix it somehow?
Everything else seems to be ok..

Re: Core memory Re: Old farts and new Linux

Keith corrected me on this which is ok since I had an Old (brain) fart!
It's nice to see someone who knows or remembers, and I find this
reminder very interesting and educational.

I still use turbotax for my personal tax reporting but use the web
version so no compat. issues with my choice of OS. I know some are using
turbotax/quicken/quickbooks w/ wine or crossover office as well.
I'm trying a quarter (or two) of gnucash my business accounting with
gnucash but strongly suspect I'll either:
1. create appropriate mysql dbs for my purposes
<or more likely>
2. Bite the bullet and use quickbooks pro for the business since the
benefit of prefilled forms/efiling outweighs the few hundred dollars
cost of QB pro + crossover office - at least when I could be spending
the hours used to tweak a DB/gnucash to deal with state/federal/state
sales tax vs. using that time to umm... actually do *business* and/or
generate *more* revenue.
YMMV

This is what I assumed also, the onyl thing that makes me wonder about
it is the counters have not been reset. Basically all the data in Target
1 is exactly what was there before I did the remove-single-device and
pulled the old drive.

That crossed my mind, but I really hope that is not it since it means
having to go on-site. ;).
