Re: A Problem on Macromedia Flash Player 7 for FC1
by Green 30 May '04

30 May '04

Thank you for your reports that flash-plugin 7.0 works fine. As for me, it does not, indeed on my desktop PC. I installed this Flash 7.0 by 'apt-get upgrade. Then I removed flash-plugin 7.0 by 'apt-get remove' and re-installed this by APT, but situation did not improved. At the same time, I tested flash-plugin 7.0 on another notebook PC. The result was quite similar to the desktop PC. So far, there is no good idea for me to solve this matter, I expect an update release. Thanks. Green.

Modem/Network Card question
by Sam Stinson 30 May '04

30 May '04

Hi, I'm trying to install a modem and a network card in Fedora--I think it's build 1--and the drivers mention the "instmod" or "insmod" command. I don't have that even as superuser. Can anyone help me understand what's going on?

Using 120gb USB Drive to Boot Linux
by Rick Bilonick 30 May '04

30 May '04

I bought a 120 gb USB hard drive. I plugged it in and was pleasantly suprised than RH 9 saw the drive (looked at dmesg) and I could easily mount it. I would like to install Red Hat 9 or Fedora Core 2 but neither seem to see the USB drive to allow Linux to be installed on it. I see that the install process loads a driver for the USB drive but that's about it. I would love to be able to boot directly from the USB drive or at least use a floppy boot disk to start Linux from the USB drive. My new laptop (Dec, 2003, Toshiba Satellite) doesn't seem to allow booting from a USB drive. (In the bios, I only see PC Card and HDD as choices.) Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Rick B.

Wireless Dlink USB on Fedora Core 2
by Kedar Patankar 30 May '04

> First, thanks for the help w/ my dual boot problem ... > working great now! > I'm trying to figure out how to get a dlink DWL-122 > USB installed. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the > information available. I have the same h/w and I have it working w/o problems (with WEP) on FC1 kernel 2.4.22-1.2115. Getting it work on FC1 is quite easy. Just follow the readme file in wlan-ng sources and it should work. I tried to compile the linux-wlan-ng driver for FC2 and it doesn't compile. IIRC the readme in the wlan-ng sources also mentions that support for 2.6 series kernel is spotty. Regards/Kedar.

But when I try to compile milter-spamc, I get: milter-spamc.c:114:29: libmilter/mfapi.h: No such file or directory So I don't have libmilter installed ? At least I can't find it. Any pointers as to where it should be, or where I can get it from ? Thanks, John. _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger

X unstability [x86_64 FC2]
by Ragone_Andrew 30 May '04

30 May '04

I just installed FC2 for AMD 64. Besides the bugzillaed Nautulus crash, my monitor goes black every 15 minutets or so. This problem is conquerent. I can get back into X by restarting the machine or Ctrl-Alt-F7 or F8 i forget which. Is this a configuration problem by any chance? Or maybe just Xfree86 going nuts? -Andrew

2 Hard Drive...NTFS recognition
by Ragone_Andrew 30 May '04

30 May '04

I just installed FC2 and think I am going to primarily use this from now on. It is on a second HD in my system but I have a large 200GB one [2 partitions] that use NTFS from Windows that I need to access. What path would this be on? /dev/hda1? And NTFS would be supported by default correct? -Andrew

FC2 booting with Gigabyte 8IPE1000 PRO2 SATA
by Marc Lucke 30 May '04

30 May '04

I can get FC2 (kernel 2.6.5-1.358smp) to boot by mounting the initrd; editing linuxrc to load the mod_scsi, libata, sd_mod & ata_piix modules on boot; and then unmounting and replacing the original initrd. This is OK in that it works however from about kernel 2.4.24 it was unnecessary; the sata drive showed as "hde" and perfomance was many times better. I remember that 2.4.24 didn't seem to have a scsi/sata type section in it! I didn't think it would work, first time I did it but it did. It is the ich5 architecture but for some reason it doesn't seem to be as straight forward as it seems it should be. My ultimate wish is to be able to forget about compiling my own kernels or stuffing about with initrd. I would be so appreciative to hear more about my problem from someone that knows about what is causing it. For example, until the next kernel is released, is there a reasonably easy way have my system booting from hde again? What was the iscsi thing about in the last rh9 distrib I had? Would that help me? Cheers Marc

usb scanner - resolved (& feedback)
by Fedora List 30 May '04

30 May '04

Feedback: Problem resolved, I had copied the firmware file to: /usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb and should have been: /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb (or for that matter): /usr/local/share/sane/PS1fw.usb Pathing a litttttle dodge. Ooops! Stuart Hi list Scenario: FC1 Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU flatbed scanner (GT-6801) USB copied firmware to /usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb 'chmod'ed PS1fw.usb to 755 commented out override in /etc/sane.d/gt86xx.conf CORRECTION >>> When running XSane (not XScanning) I get (even as root): Failed to open device 'gt68xx:/dev/usb/scanner0': Invalid argument Opening Kooka (bottom left panel): Problem: no scanner was found. scanimage -L picks up the scanner. sane-find-scanner also picks up the scanner. Hmmm... what am I mising? Thanks in advance. Stuart
