Hello, Thanks. I'm using FC 1... why would an installation cause external symbols while starting up? Thanks, Sam >>>In FC2 it is .ko Samuel D.

Network Server displaying nothing
by Nicholas Ruddick 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

I've having a problem with Network Servers not displaying anything apart from Windows Servers. I have smb.conf as follows [global] workgroup = LGSOC server string = DopeFlish Box security = DOMAIN log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 os level = 33 preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No dns proxy = No wins server = 192.168.0.1 idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No It did a couple of times show all the servers in my network but not now. I have a samba server domain controller running that is master browser of the network and works with all the other machines in my network so I don't know whats wrong. I tried changing my workgroup name in gconf but no joy. What should I try next? Nicholas Ruddick

Lexmark Z35 Printer driver
by Mike Lurk 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Here is some useful info for someone who is trying to install a Lexmark Z35 printer in FC 2. 1. Download the latest driver for the printer from the Lexmark site; CJLZ35LE-CUPS-2.0-1.TAR.GZ 2. Untar the file; tar -zxvf CJLZ35LE-CUPS-2.0-1.TAR.GZ and you should get a file called 3. Before you run it make sure you have; cups-devel tcl-8.4 tcl-devel-8.4 tk-8.4 tk-devel-8.4 4. Make a link to libtcl8.4.so in /usr/lib and rename it to libtcl8.3.so, and do the same for libtk8.4.so and rename it to libtk8.3.so. If you try to run lexmarkz35-CUPS-2.0-1.gz.sh before doing this it will not install, you will get an error. The installer is looking for libtcl8.3.so and libtk8.3.so. 5. Open a terminal window and (if you don't have one open) and run the driver file by invoking the command.... sh lexmarkz35-CUPS-2.0-1.gz.sh (oops you have to be root to do this) and follow the instructions in the GUI. When it is finished it will give you a button to do a test print or to exit. Try the test print if everything is done properly you should get the Lexmark test page. That's it. It worked for me. Creating the links and renaming is probably not the best way to do this but so far it the only way that I found that works. Mike P.S. It even prints in Mozilla

by Eric Tanguy 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

this burner is plugged by usb and fc2 don't want to recognize it as a cdrom/dvrom device. If i switch it on with a cd in it the system don't recognize it and when i launch k3b it don't find a burner. If i switch it on without anything in it k3b recognize it as a burner. This device will make me crazy ...

Re: FC2 won't boot - RH9 to FC2 (Solved)
by Atsuko Crum 01 Jun '04

It turned out that links under /boot directory did not updated. After I created the new links and removed /boot/message entry from lilo.conf file, the system booted fine.

NForce2 question...
by Jason Salaz 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

I've also been hesitant with moving to FC2, since it seems that my NForce2 chipset mobo (MSI K7N2 Delta-L) doesn't like the 2.6 kernel all that much. Is there anyone out here that's having the same issues with overall slowness, or even lockups? Could this be related to the 4K Stack issue? I am convinced that FC2 is stable, but I want my performance back, like I have with FC1! Just wondering. -Jason

Prism2 Wireless on FC2?
by Dave Ashby 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Just upgraded to FC2. Good news: unlike FC1, pcmcia detects my wireless card at boot. "cardctl ident" yields: Socket 0: product info: "The Linksys Group, Inc.", "Instant Wireless Network PC Card", "ISL37300P", "RevA" manfid: 0x0274, 0x1612 function: 6 (network) Socket 1: no product info available Bad news: wlan0 doesn't find the prism2 driver when I plug in my card. From /var/log/messages: May 29 14:33:05 Sacajawea cardmgr[1487]: executing: 'modprobe prism2_cs 2>&1' May 29 14:33:05 Sacajawea cardmgr[1487]: + FATAL: Module prism2_cs not found. I thought I recalled some discussion that the orinoco_cs driver should work for this card, but I can't figure out where to change the driver. Changing the "alias wlan0 prism2_cs" line in /etc/modprobe.conf causes my card to no longer be detected at boot (although I don't see any likely errors in dmesg or /var/log/messages). On FC1 I had to use the prism2 rpms from http://prism2.unixguru.raleigh.nc.us/ to get pcmcia + wireless working. Since FC2 seems to have my pcmcia working without any tinkering, I hoped I could get my wireless up by changing some config files. Does anyone know how I can get my wireless up and running? -dave Linux 2.6.5-1.358 #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Running on a Sony Vaio PCG-FX190

FC1 install fails to boot
by allan＠troi.cc.rochester.edu 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

I am trying to install FC1 (sic) on a new system that came pre-installed with XP using month old iso cdroms I previously used successfully to install FC1 on an AMD xp2600 system. The new system will be an audio workstation and I'd prefer, for now, to run a patched 2.4 kernel until a 2.6 kernel with low latency patches and other performance tweaks becomes available and tuned. The P4 FC1 install seems to proceed without a hitch, but the system hangs upon first boot with a blank screen after loading the kernel modules (after Enabling swap space OK ) and never gets to the Welcome screen. The system: ------------------------------- P4 3GHz 800 FSB, Gigabyte 8i K 1100, Intel 875P chipset, 1 GB dual chan. Samsung DDR, Matrox Millenium G550 Disks: Seagate 120 GB ST3120022A (system disk for both linux and XP) Western Digital Raptor 740GD SATA 74 GB (to be used only as a sound disk) Intel 82801EB ultra ata controller, 82801ER raid controller, ICH5R sata controller Plextor dvdr px-708a Floppy drive (came DOA, so unavailable until I receive the replacement) Texas Instruments OHCI i333 1394 host controller (Also: Intel pro/100 ve network adapter, M-Audio Delta 1010, Planar 1910M, Logitech optical corded kb & cordless wheel mouse ) ------------------ Win xp still runs fine. I cannot boot into linux single mode. In rescue mode, all my linux and xp file systems mount correctly. The swap partition is 900 MB. Looking at install.log.syslog, install.log, anaconda.cfg, dmesg and other config and log files no obvious problems jump out. The only error message I see is in /var/boot.log: Window Manager warning: Failed to open connection to a session manager ... SESSION_MANAGER environment variable not defined. I tried re-installing with the firewire controller disabled in the bios and (for good measure, disconnecting the firewire cable from the motherboard.) Same result. I thought that the problem might be the sata controller, but ata_piix seems to load properly and my understanding (http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/hardware/sata.html) is that from 2.4.22 on ata_piix is a part of the libata driver set. I've seen the i875 chipset listed as fully compatible with newer kernels. In googling the Gigabyte 8ik 1000 mobo I came across 2 references to its use on linux systems. I'm stumped and at this point and for the moment don't even care about tuned performance. Right now I just want to get ANY linux distro installed on this system and get moving. Now that the dust seems to have settled on how to avoid the FC2 dual boot MBR problem (so that I don't have to worry about winding up with neither a usuable linux nor xp system with which to troubleshoot this problem) is it likely that that the newer FC2 build would install succesfully where FC1 fails? Should I try a newer 2.4 kernel? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
