Driver Disk for Advansys Controller
by Matt Ford 29 May '04

29 May '04

Hi all, I've just installed Fedora at work and very nice it is to! Much impressed. However I would like to install it at home and have the following problems.... 1) The advansys scsi controller device driver I need is not present on the boot cd. 2) I can't find any information about how I can go about building a driver disk for Fedora. 3) I did find a bugzilla report showing a number of people had the same problem installing advansys driver. Can people point in the direction of a driver disk I can modify? Does someone have a prebuilt advansys driver I can use....Are there any political reasons why this driver is unavailable or is it just old and unpopular? Do docs exist for bulding driver disks? Many thanks for any help, Cheers, Matt.

FC2--can't get SMB share from nautilus
by Don Campbell 29 May '04

29 May '04

I've exhausted my resources. I've read tfm till I'm dizzy. I've played with swat. I can use smbclient to get information from a WinNT system with shares via "smbclient -L boxname" Samba seems to be working. Nautilus gives me: "The folder contents could not be displayed" Does it ask for a user name and password? NO. Why not? I'm sure that with no proper user name and no password it's perfectly justified in denying me access. Heck, I want it to deny access without those. So what's the secret? As they say over and over in the FC2 list: This didn't happen before I installed FC2. (I was using RH9 before.) What's the magic potion -- secret incantation --whatever that will take away the memory of hours spent futzing around with this problem? TIA Don

howto s-video out ?
by Brian Millett 29 May '04

29 May '04

Hello, Im running FC2 on a toshiba satellite 1135 laptop. Many things work just great. I do have an s-video out port. How do I access it? Do I need some package installed or is it a simple xorg.conf addition? Any ideas?

automatical execution of a program on a startup
by Tomek Kabarowski 29 May '04

29 May '04

Hello (again :-) )... I want to make FC2 automatically load a program which should work all the time in background...I thought it would be similar to other automatically loadable programs, as httpd, so I created the following script, and put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d/: [tk@acer tk]$ cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/slmodemd #!/bin/sh # Startup script for slmodemd # # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions [ -f /usr/sbin/slmodemd ] || exit 0 prog="slmodemd" options="--country=POLAND /dev/slamr0" start() { echo -n $"Starting $prog: " daemon $prog $options RETVAL=$? echo return $RETVAL } stop() { echo -n $"Stopping $prog: " killall -HUP $prog echo RETVAL=$? return $RETVAL } case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; status) status $prog ;; restart) stop start ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}" exit 1 esac exit $RETVAL [tk@acer tk]$ I also created symbolic links to it in every /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d/ directory... [tk@acer rc0.d]$ ls -l K15slmodemd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 maj 28 18:10 K15slmodemd ->../init.d/slmodemd ...actually I don't know what are this 'K' or 'S' on the beginning mean :(, but I created only 'K' one as it is for httpd. I also don't know if '15' number is somehow significant. Actually, after all this, the script still doesn't seem to load on a startup. /var/log/messages shows nothing about it :( WHAT IS WRONG? I also tried to put execution code in /etc/rc.d/rc.local [tk@acer rc.d]$ cat rc.local #!/bin/sh touch /var/lock/subsys/local echo "Starting modem:" daemon /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=POLAND /dev/slamr0 RETVAL=$? echo [tk@acer rc.d]$ But the result is the same - script slmodemd doesn't start.... What do I do wrong? How should I make my system execute some code on a startup? Regards, Tomek

install fedora core2
by paul van der meij 29 May '04

29 May '04

I am installing fedora core2 via nfs and have some discrepancies between what the installer thinks should be the version of certain packages and what is present om my nfs server from the core2 CD's. some of those I can repair by downloading the indivdual rpm's e.g openoffice.org-1.1.1-4.i386.rpm but I am stuck on xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.7.0-2.i386 probably since the size it expects (496Kb) does not match the actual 399Kb. How can I correct this expectation ?? or how can I skip this module ?? (without restarting the install) or better still how can I correct all wrong expectations?? phjvdmeij(a)home.nl paul van der Meij

kernel 2.6.6-1.391
by Mike Lurk 29 May '04

29 May '04

So far with this kernel (2.6.6-1.391) I haven't been able to do anything in openGL. The system would just lock up solid. As a matter of fact any of the 2.6.6 kernels haven't worked with openGL. The mobo is an Intel with a p3 600 and an integrated I810 video and the intel sound integrated as well. The kernel that did work was the one that was originally during the FC2 install (2.6.5). What has changed in the kernels? Any help would be appreciated. Mike

FC2 Make modules_install fails everytime
by Steve Pyatt 29 May '04

29 May '04

When trying to build a kernel it fails every time I run the make modules_install. The error is; if [ -r System.Map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.5-1.358custom; fi Make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 143 I read somewhere you could make the file by hand, but hey I don't use a computer to do things by hand. Any ideas on how to correct this, or what the issue may be? Steve http://www.voodoovenue.com
