trouble shooting Fedora Core 3 installation
by Stephen King 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

I've just installed FC3 on my hard drive It is incredibly slow and the graphics dont display correctly or refresh very well; some times not at all. The only way I can see certain windows is to pass the mouse over the window to display the contents. Some program options form the menu don't display at all particularly those related to system or preferences Any help would be most appreciated Steve

There is an example in the file and some explanatory text but basically you Alias the incoming domain name request to a fully qualified path. example: Alias /my-domain.com "var/www/my-domain.com" As with many Linux names you may want to add variations on capitalisation or a trailing slash to be sure they all get through. Leave 'enforcing current' on. Hope this helps, bob

Also, I don't think my router is a DNS server too. It is just a DHCP server and not DNS. So, the case is still open for any help... Thanks, Danesh

failed to map segment from shared object: ERROR / restorecon
by Michael D. Setzer II 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

Wonder if others have seen this error, and missed it, since it only shows if you use the alt-d to watch the detailed boot process. Also, if anyone knows why the error occurs. I was just doing an FC3 update on my Computer Lab systems, and on reboot I was getting a number of failed to map segment from shared object: Permission Denied This was a synaptic update, and was the first I've done in a couple weeks, since the lab was closed while they were installing new storm windows. I did a search, and found a link that mentioned to use restorecon to fix this problem. I noted the ones that I saw in the boot up while watching the details, but additionally had to do it for libnss_files- 2.3.4.so to get ntpd to work. Before that it would start, but then give a message that it died. Here is the little script that I made to get rid of the errors in the detailed startup, and ntpd. restorecon /lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so restorecon /lib/libnsl-2.3.4.so restorecon /lib/libm-2.3.4.so restorecon /lib/tls/libm-2.3.4.so restorecon /lib/i686/libm-2.3.4.so restorecon /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2.2 restorecon /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3.2 restorecon /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3.0 restorecon /lib/libresolv-2.3.4.so restorecon /lib/libdl-2.3.4.so restorecon /lib/libnss_files-2.3.4.so Some directories might be different, since I just did the same update on a home machine that is only a K6-2, so some files were in different locations.

success with Firefox 1.0 and Java
by Gerhard Magnus 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

Perhaps some other newbie running Fedora 3 can benefit from this summary: I've been trying to get the Java runtime environment to work with Firefox 1.0. This is the version that comes with Fedora 3 -- it's from the package firefox-1.0-2.fc3 and its files are in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0. After much fiddling with this, I ended up two versions of the Java runtime environment installed in directories /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06 and /usr/java/jrel.5.0. I wanted to use the latter, more recent version 5.0 with Firefox. I went to the directory /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7 where I found only the file libjavaplugin_oji.so. Then, as superuser, I created a link in the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0 directory: ln -sf libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so. Executing ls, the link libjavaplugin_oji.so should appear in blue -- if it appears in red and flashes this means the link has not been established successfully. Firefox doesn't telegraph the news that its java plugin has been successfully installed. A good place to go to test this is http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp -- if you can see the dancing Duke logo™ image animated in the applet, then the JRE is functioning correctly. The main thing I've learned from all this is that unix will be merciless when a user confuses the letter "l" and the number "1". Thanks for everybody's help -- and happy new year! Jerry

Odd request for how NOT to do something...
by RoboticGolem 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

I have evrouter set up for the few extra multimedia keys on my keyboard. Works great, only way it could be better is if Firefox would title its window so I could set up specifics for that. Anyway, I have one of those little usb nuberpad things that are designed for notebooks. I have it hooked up and it works fine, for what its intended. However, I want it to only be acknowledged by the usbevent layer so that I can turn the 18 keys on that numberpad into hotkeys. I can get evrouter to acknowledge and even tie things to the keys there, but I want it to be ignored as a keyboard. So when I hit the '1' key on the usb pad, instead of getting a 1 and the programs tied to it launching just having it launch the app. cat /proc/bus/input/devices produces this: I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0a81 Product=0101 Version=0110 N: Name="CHESEN USB Keyboard" P: Phys=usb-0000:02:00.0-1.1/input0 H: Handlers=kbd event1 B: EV=12000b B: KEY=10000 7 ff87207a c14057ff febeffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe B: ABS=100 0 B: LED=1f07 I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0a81 Product=0101 Version=0110 N: Name="CHESEN USB Keyboard" P: Phys=usb-0000:02:00.0-1.1/input1 H: Handlers=kbd event4 B: EV=10000b B: KEY=1f0000 20000 3878 d801d101 1e0000 0 0 0 B: ABS=100 0 Now I'm far from a guru, and I really dont know what I'm doing here, but to me, if I can get the kbd driver to ignore this usbpad, then all my problems will be fixed. I just dont know how to get the system to NOT to tie the kbd driver to it and leave the event handler there. Any help, maybe even a link to where I need to go, I've been googling for a while, and found a lot of really neat things about dual headed/legged computers, but I need it to not register as a keyboard and have it register as just a usb device. Thanks -Matt

Re: Can fedora core be installed from Yum repository

Not sure where it's documented specifically for Fedora, but it's the same as older Red Hat Linux, so all the documentation out there still applies. If you boot from the small (5MB) boot.iso boot CD, it will immediately ask you what installation method you want, and http will be one of the choices. If you boot from the normal CD (disc 1), say "linux askmethod" at the initial boot prompt, and then you'll be presented with the same question. Using the full CD if you have it save some bandwidth, as it can avoid transferring the entire graphical installer at the beginning. > Origonaly , I was given FC3 as .iso's but don't have cd's to burn to but > do have dvd's and wanted to create an install dvd from the 4 iso's ... There's a DVD iso out there too, by the way. -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
