Has anyone gotten the Nvidia drivers from ATrpms to work and can you still turn of the 4k stack in the kernel?

Help! -- How to use YUM to install&update my own packages and downloaded packages at the same time??
by Guolin Cheng 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hi, I got a problem of how to use yum to install& update my own packages and downloaded packages at the same time... The story is: I rolled some my own packages which are not installed by default, so they are new to all my Fedora clients; at the same time, I also have some updated packages downloaded directly from Internet. I want my Linux clients to install my own packages like myShit and also to update the downloaded new version packages like httpd. I put all the two categories of packages into a directory, then set /etc/yum.conf 's [updates-released] section points to it. The [base] section is un-changed. Then if I run "yum update", it will only update the downloaded new-versioned packages like httpd, while my own-rolled packages like myShit are not installed. Then if I try to run "yum -install '*' ", it will install all packages from both [base] and [updates-released] sections, there are thousands packages unneeded! >From the manual of yum, it says that the "install" subcommand can be used to install "groups" of packages, then How to define group(s) besides of shell glob which is not appropriate for my case? Can we define and ask yum to install only from [updates-released] channel?? Another problem is: Is there a way to ask yum to keep quiet (not reporting any lines on screen) when there are no transactions to take? Since I will put yum commands in crontab, but I don't like to receive thousands of emails from my thousands of Fedora clients daily. Anyone has any good hints or suggestions?? Thanks. --Guolin Cheng

How to upgrade w/o floppy or cd
by Joe Klemmer 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

I have an older RH 7.1 system that I need to upgrade. The big problem is that the system is in a not-very-accessible remote location. I can access the console because it's on a remote KVM so I can boot into single user mode and such. What I'd like to know is if there's any way to do an install or upgrade without using a boot floppy or CD. I dug around google but didn't find anything that really answered this question. So, is it possibly to do an install/upgrade with no floppy or CD? -- Joe Klemmer <klemmerj(a)webtrek.com> Unix System/Network Administrator & Ad Hoc Programmer

non-root usb scanning
by Peter L. Hurd 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hey All, I'm still trying to get my usb scanner to work for non-root users. I've found the device file with the 0644 permissions that is causing the problem at /proc/bus/usb/001/002. I can chmod that file a+rw and mortal user scanning works, but that needs to be re-chmodded each time I reboot. I suppose I could add a line to rc.local, but that would be tacky, and I suppose may fail when other usb devices move around. The solution sounds like either one of: 1) Make all usb devices have mode 0666. I added the line none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults,devmode=0666 0 0 to fstab. But it doesn't work! The scanner still comes up 0644. Why? 2) muck around with hotplug. I honestly don't intend on hotplugging my scanner and the last time I mucked around with hotplug was to get my Axim to hotplug/synce/multisync and the whole thing just left me with a rash... I want option 1, Any ideas why option 1 doesn't work. Has anyone actually gotten option 2 to work (please don't say "I havn't but it ought to"). -P. -- Peter L.

sendmail in FC2
by Jason Salaz 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

And after a reboot, it appears that sendmail is the slowest module to load during boot up. Any ideas on how to make this faster? It's taking about a minute and a half to load, while everything else flies by. I do have a firewall up, but I don't think that is the issue, but hey weirder things have happened. Let me know what you all suggest... -Jason
