Simple database application...OO.org?
by Arthur Pemberton 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

I was under the impression that OpenOffice now provides a database application. Am I incorrect? Or is this app just not provided with Fedora? Or can I just not find it. Please advise. Thank you.

Getting apt-get to work with FC3
by Shane Archer 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

I just installed apt on a fresh install of FC3, and I haven't been able to get it to do anything. Here's what I installed: # rpm -q apt apt-0.5.15cnc6-12.r362 When I try to do an update, here's what I get: # apt-get update Fetching list of repositories/mirrors... E: Failed to fetch mirror list file: (with nothing beyond the colon) I have edited /etc/apt/sources.list with data from http://www.xades.com/proj/fedora_repos.html to no avail. Is there anything I could be doing wrong, or anything else I need to edit (such as apt.conf, etc)? I have used apt on previous Fedora installs with no problems, all I remember having to do was finding a working sources.list. Thanks, Shane

GIMP File Dialogues
by Jonathan Allen 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

G'day All, Re: Gimp on FC3 I have managed to get OO using the 'normal' file dialogues by selecting the option to use the OO dialogues, but I can't find the same sort of option in GIMP. How can I use the standard dialogues that I can just type a full path-name into, in GIMP ? Jonathan

Resizing a partition
by Lucas Chan 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Hi, I recently signed up with a super-cheap dedicated server company to run one of my personal sites. The box was pre-installed with FC2. Some of the partitions they set up on it are ridiculously small. I contacted them saying: "I'm quickly running out of space on a couple of partitions and need them to be resized. I understand this needs to be performed at the console with a boot disk so I'm submitting a ticket to you guys." They responded saying: "We cannot resize the partitions without reformatting/reimaging the drive." Am I missing something obvious? I thought resizing partitions was quite an easy thing to do with parted? Are there some oddities with resizing partitions in Fedora that I'm not aware of, or am I just getting the quality technical support you'd expect from an el-cheapo hosting company? The RHEL parted docs I found indicate to me that this is a simple process: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s 1-parted-resize-part.html Thanks in advance. Regards, Lucas Chan

No. Someone posted a message concerning a problem using Ghost with FC3 last December. There's a workaround for this problem at the end of the bug report. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces(a)redhat.com [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@redhat.com]On Behalf Of David Hoffman Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 4:47 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: Ghost and FC3 On Mon, 31 Jan 2005 16:41:54 -0500, Charland, Denis <Denis.Charland(a)imi.cnrc-nrc.gc.ca> wrote: > > > > Have a look at the following bug report: > > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145307 OK I looked at the bug report.

problems mounting fat32 partition
by Tom 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Hi, I have just installed Fedora Core 3, dual boot with Win XP. I have a separate partition for my files and so on, and I want to access it from linux. This is the set up of my system: hda: - hda1 (Windows XP - NTFS ~15GB) - hda2 (Files - FAT32 ~ 25GB) hdd: - hdd1 (/boot - ext3 ~ 100MB) - hdd2 - LVM Physical Volume (containing swap and / ~20GB) This is recognised by the Hardware Browser, but when I try to mount hda2, it does not seem to exist in /dev, so unsurprisingly, I get the error: "mount: special device /dev/hda2 does not exist" any ideas? Tom.

Installing fedora at school
by Danial Rehman 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

My school is thinking of installing linux on some of the computers, and were wondering if it's legal to use linux for non-private usage. I really didn't get what they meant but something about linux only beeing free if your going to install for yourself and not for a whole school or corporation or whatever. So I'm wondering if it's allowed to get fedora for about 10 compters at my school the legal way. I always thought linux was free for everyone? Thanks in advande

RH9 -> FC3: no upgrade offered
by Jean-Louis Leroy 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Hello, I have a computer running Red Hat 9 (Shrike). I'd like to upgrade to FC3. Unfortunately, the (graphical) installer doesn't seem to recognize the presence of a previous installation and does not offer to upgrade it. Here's my partition list: /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda2 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda5 on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda7 on /var type ext3 (rw) I wonder if this has to do with the fact that this is a purely SCSI computer? However, the installer does load the appropriate SCSI modules during the pre-graphical phase; and the bottom of anaconda.log shows that apparently it goes look for things there: * moving (1) to step language * moving (1) to step keyboard * running ['/usr/X11R6/bin/setxkbmap', '-layout', 'us', '-model', 'pc105', '-option', ''] * moving (1) to step findrootparts * isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda1 on /mnt/sysimage * isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda2 on /mnt/sysimage * isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda5 on /mnt/sysimage * isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda6 on /mnt/sysimage * isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda7 on /mnt/sysimage * moving (1) to step installtype * Detected 2032M of memory * Swap attempt of 1000M to 2000M * moving (1) to step partitionmethod * moving (-1) to step installtype * moving (-1) to step findrootparts * moving (-1) to step keyboard Help please... -- Jean-Louis Leroy Sound Object Logic http://www.soundobjectlogic.com
