Re: madwifi for dummies?
by kusti 29 May '04

29 May '04

My card is this http://www.3com.com/prod/en_EU_EMEA/detail.jsp?tab=features&sku=3CRDAG675 On the download page about linux drivers there is a link to madwifi, but I can't find any documentation from madwifi site and reading the faq doesen't help. Maybe I should be better asking madwifi mailing list or just wait for better support and stick with windows for now. > > You need to let us know what kind of wlan card you have.

FC-2 laptop question
by Shaun T. Erickson 29 May '04

29 May '04

I installed it on my Dell Latitude CPx J750GT, and I love it. One thing though - it appears that none of my function keys work. I know that X thinks I have a 101-key keyboard - which is wrong - I have an 87-key keyboard. I don't know if that's related to the problem or not though. I'd really like to get things like the suspend key, and the brightness/contrast keys working. Any ideas? -ste

Will try to remember to post that for you if you >want it. The reason why I didn't want to use procmail was because I thought it would mean that I missed out all the emails that were just forwarded by the virtusertable entries - and I want to provide spam filtering to those external users too. But, I'm coming round to the idea of using procmail to do this forwarding (instead of sendmail/virtusertable) and so then procmail/spamc becomes a very good option... So YES, please do send me any helpful info you have on this. I'll be working on this over the long weekend, so may have it done by Tuesday, but please send your stuff anyway - it will be good to see if I did it the same/better/worse way ? My first problem - getting procmail to do the local delivery for/from sendmail... using maildir format...

Hello Just installed FC2 and now I want to get my wlan card working. Is there any simple instructions howto do that? I couldn't find any that would help me. I've installed the madwifi rpm's from atrpmps.net but now what? Do I have to recompile kernel? What files I should edit? thanks in advance.

USB SCanners
by Ted Gervais 29 May '04

29 May '04

I was wondering the best way to find where my scanner is hiding after I bring up FC2? What for example is a scan command to find lets say, all USB devices? In particular of course, for the HP Scanjet 3570C. Possibly USB does not work well with FC2? Any thoughts fellows? -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada.

alsa sound and xmms
by Richard E Miles 29 May '04

29 May '04

Ive been having abit of difficulty getting sound to work in FC2. I did not have these problems in FC1. While invoking xmms to play a wav file. the following pop-up window was observed: couldn't open audio Please check that your soundcard is configured properly you have the correct output plugin selected no sound program is blocking the soundcard I also noticed the following when starting the system with startx: a series of messages saying audio_alsa: no cards found. I ran system-config soundcard and it detected my ens1371 sound card and was able to play the test sound. I tried to play the wav file again with the same popup window message occuring. I did a ctrl-alt-F1 to see what messages occured. The same "audio_alsa: no cards found" message (2 times) was seen. I also do not have gnome sound events even after installing the libgnome update. Please help. -- Richard Miles Federal Way, WA registered linux user 46097

I would have thought that the easiest way to fix it would be to create a symlink to the module in the place where the i386 programs expect to find it? Just call the symlink libbluecurve.so and stick it in the directory where it is actually looking for it... -- Dylan Parry http://www.webpageworkshop.co.uk - FREE Web tutorials and references

[FC2 AMD64] complain about missing libbluecurve.so
by Peter Boy 29 May '04

29 May '04

Some i386 programs in my x86_64 installation produce a GTK warning: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libbluecurve.so" Of course, the module is in /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/...., but not in /usr/lib/... where a i386 program may expect it. The programs seem to proceed normally, but nevertheless, is there a (simple) way to correct it? Thanks Peter

Re: really weired problem...installation media not found
by Charles Tharp 29 May '04

I found that by swapping out the cds that the one that fixed it was to put the origional (cd 1 ) back in it would find the media it was looking for. this after changing out cd players and many other hair pulling sessions. I had even gone and checked the media cd as with the origional media checker which is provided (hey im rambling) in one instance I did find a bad cd (failed media check) Chuck
