How to add a new gdm's session ?
by Mazott Zeo 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Hi list, I am using FC 3, and I'm having problems to add a session to GDM. Instructions I got from the Internet are to add a new session type to GDM's session directory which normally located under /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions and run gdm-restart as root. I found the directory and created a new session. However, it does not work for my system. Is there any other method to add a new session. Thanks in advance. Regards, Mazott

Repos and Downloads from freshrpms.net
by Chadley Wilson 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Greetings to all, Best wishes for the new year, I hope we all prosper with Linux systems at hand and do well. I have one question, Why is it that when sitting on a 2MB fiber backbone to the inet, Some downloads from freshrpms.net rocket at fantastic speeds of up 60KB, and at the same time from the same site one file will stall as if there is no bandwidth. You can finish two or three downloads and try the stalled one again, but no joy. try again tomorrow and it will be fine. -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================

Install Exim and fire the precedent MTA
by Rakotomandimby (R12y) Mihamina 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Hello, I had a fresh new installed Fedora Core 2. I made a 'yum install exim' and it installed me exim 4. It's OK. But May I safely 'yum remove sendmail' ? Then I would 'chkconfig --del sendmail; chkconfig --add exim' is it ? (I would have configured exim properly before that) -- ASPO Infogérance http://aspo.rktmb.org/activites/infogerance Unofficial FAQ fcolc http://faq.fcolc.eu.org/ LUG sur Orléans et alentours.

usb scanner configuration: hpusbscsi, udev
by Thomas Frayne 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

I am running on an up to date Fedora Core 3 system, and have installed sane-backends 1.0.15-1.4 and xsane 0.92-13 via synaptic. Over the last 18 months, I have periodically tried to get my HP 7450C scanner working under SANE, but was never completely successful. I am now trying again, and am getting similar problems to those I have had before. I sent a query to the sane-devel mailing list, and the response suggested that it would be better to ask on a Fedora mailing list. My system loaded hpusbscsi, which does not work with sane-avision. After much searching I found /etc/hotplug/blacklist and edited it to add hpusbscsi to prevent hpusbscsi from being loaded. This fixed scanimage -L, which now returns device `avision:libusb:002:010' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 7400c flatbed scanner instead of the incorrect `avision:/dev/sg2' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 7400c flatbed scanner. Now I find that /dev/scanner-usb-:proc:bus:usb:002:010 is a link to /proc/bus/usb/002/010, but the device name changes when I reboot. I would like to use udev to create a constant device name /dev/usb/scanner0 for this device. I put entry SYSFS{product}="hp scanjet 7400c", SYMLINK="as/Scanjet" into /etc/udev/rules.d/09-tom.rules. However, if I unplug the scanner and plug it back in, the log indicates Jan 2 23:34:23 PCasus kernel: usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, address 10 Jan 2 23:34:26 PCasus kernel: usb 2-1.1: new full speed USB device using address 11 It has no udev log entry. Before the device address changed /proc/bus/usb/devices contained: T: Bus=02 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 10 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=03f0 ProdID=0801 Rev= 0.01 S: Manufacturer=hp S: Product=hp scanjet 7400c S: SerialNumber=87 tem 7400c C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 2mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none) E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 8 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=82(I) Atr=03(Int.)

Re: Linksys WMP11 Wireless PCI card
by Dave Andreasen 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

I have version 2.7 of the card. I was using it in my family's PC, but decided to buy a new Linksys card for it. I will try the ndiswrapper and see how it goes. Thanks for your help!

I believe there is no open source implementation of a driver available for the WMP11. You may want to return it and exchange it for a WMP54G Version 4 for which an open source driver is being developed, see: http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm and http://rt2400.sourceforge.net . Generally, before buying hardware for Linux it makes sense to make sure an open source driver exists as this causes the least troubles getting the hardware to work. Best regards, Erwin
