Flaky touchpad behavior in FC3
by Matthew Cole 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

All, I'm having really touchy behavior with the touchpad on my Presario 900 notebook. It works, but changing finger pressure in the slightest is interpreted as a mouse click, which wreaks havoc in Evolution, Firefox and so forth. In Windows XP, I used to be able to completely disable the tap=mouse button "feature", and I'm wondering if I can do the same in Fedora. For what it's worth, I'm a veteran in Solaris, and I've used Red Hat products before (before the Enterprise Linux/Fedora split) but fairly new to the modern Fedora distributions. So if the solution is asking me to edit profiles and environment variables, that isn't a problem. Regards, Matthew Cole

This populates a flat database with file names and their associated Red Hat package name that provides the file. I had to James, See the note earlier from Paul Howarth regarding this. There is a difference between redhatprovides and whatprovides. With whatprovides, it gets the information from the known packages that have been installed on the system, and does not require the database file. David

stupid spamassassin tricks
by Craig White 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

slugging through an awkward issue with spamassassin on my home server. I am using fetchmail to get mail from my ISP - who in essence, has already accepted delivery. I have an email in my box which fetchmail keeps retrieving and spamassassin is rejecting it - which is kind of an endless loop. Specifically, I am running spamassassin & spamass-milter (milter via sendmail). I currently have the following options to spamd set... # cat /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -a -m5 -H -L -x -u smmsp" hoping that the '-L' option would serve the purpose...it hasn't Any suggestions? Right now, it is only 1 email but these things have a way of snowballing. TIA Craig

FC3, Apache and SELinux (fwd)

I don't know where the problem lies. I am unable to get to anything other than DocumentRoot. If I change document root than I can get to it unless I try to change it to /mnt/Videos or /mnt/Music which are partitions within the system, not network shares. I get 404 errors whenever trying to open any of the alias other than /icons/. # service httpd restart Stopping httpd: [ OK ] Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 267 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: DocumentRoot must be a directory [FAILED] If I set DocumentRoot to /home/user/public_html it works but that is the only way it will work on a users dir.

Re: Problem to configure my external USB CD-burner with FC2

James : I think that I use a "generic" driver because the name of the driver seems to be "none or built-in" : perhaps this generic (?) driver is only for "cd-reader-only" ??? By the way, the name of my external USB 2.0 cd-rw is "Lacie Slimtype Combo LSC-24082 K" which seems to be similar to http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10392 and Lacie does not offer any linux-driver support of course ... .

USB HD w/2 partition will mount, but not at boot
by Rob Rosenthal 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Greetings all! Everything I've seen on this problem has to do with pen drives and the like, but my problem is with my external USB hard drive. I'm running FC2 on an HP zt1175 laptop. The USB drive has two vfat partitions detected as sda1 and sda2. I added the following entries into my /etc/fstab file: /dev/sda1 /mnt/fat1 vfat auto,users,umask=0 0 0 /dev/sda2 /mnt/fat2 vfat auto,users,umask=0 0 0 When my system boots, I get an error message for each partition stating that it "is not a vaild block device." However, I can mount them both by entering the shell and doing the following: sudo mount -a I have also tried the following lines in fstab, but this gave me the same exact results: /dev/sda1 /mnt/fat1 auto auto,rw,uid=0,gid=501,showexec,quiet,fmask=117,dmask=007 0 0 /dev/sda2 /mnt/fat2 auto auto,rw,uid=0,gid=501,showexec,quiet,fmask=117,dmask=007 0 0 Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Rob Registered Linux User #379760

FC3 - fglrx - BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) when playing a HD film.
by Gabriel Labelle 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hello, I have FC3 installed and an ATI radeon 9600 PRO 256MB. I've downloaded and installed latest ATI drivers from http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-8.8.25-1.i386.rpm Everything is fine but I try to play some High Definition films I got from http://www.hd-channel.com/index.html?/programme.html using totem or mplayer I get the following errors. totem : External func OLEAUT32.dll:8 DMO dll supports VO Optimizations 0 1 DMO dll might use previous sample when requested GetOutput r=0x0 size:2764800 align:1 StreamCount r=0x0 1 1 Decoder supports the following YUV formats: YV12 YUY2 UYVY YVYU Decoder is capable of YUV output (flags 0x1b) External func OLEAUT32.dll:7 External func OLEAUT32.dll:8 GetOutput r=0x0 size:24576 align:1 StreamCount r=0x0 1 1 The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 81 error_code 11 request_code 139 minor_code 19) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) mplayer : Building audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/16bit -> 48000Hz/2ch/16bit... Starting playback... X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)?,?% 0 0 MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: vo_check_events - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug. alsa-uninit: pcm closed What could be the problem since I don't have this problem with divx files and DVD movies? Find attached my xorg.conf file. -- Gabriel Labelle <glabelle(a)optimized.org>
