VegaStrike Game
by Mark Guzzo 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

Need my fix ;-) I'm trying to install vegastrike either by CVS or the provided rpm file. Either way I seem to be missing OpenAL. I know what it is, I just can't seem to find it to install it. Has someone gotten Vegastrike to install on Fedora Core 3? If so, could you please provide some insight as I seem to have run out of ideas. http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/ Mark

RE: FC3, Apache, and Front Page
by Randy L. Justice 02 Feb '05

Thanks for all your advice... I see it can be done... Many people asked "why FrontPage"... Well to make a long story short.. I don't have a choice.. Thanks again...

If by ftp, there are a lot of tools that can manage that. If by webdav, then at least Quanta+ works. Screem appears to work as well, but I'm not as fond of the Screem interface. I don't know if any of the WYSIWYG page editors work with webdav. Speaking of WYSIWYG page editors, there are at least three that I know of. NVU - see www.nvu.com Mozilla Composer - see www.mozilla.org OpenOffice Writer/Web - see www.openoffice.org That said, I don't like any of them. In particular, the handling of <div></div> is very poor. At best, you'll get absolutely positioned divisions which is a bane for liquid designs. Also, they generate at best transitional HTML (not strict or XHTML). The end result is sloppy (possibly non-compliant) HTML that may not work the same in all browsers. I alternate between Bluefish and jEdit. Neither are WYSIWYG. Just my opinion . . . . -- Mark Eggers <mdeggers(a)earthlink.net> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Network Drive Mounting Issue
by Chris Graham 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

This may seem like a newbie question, but I'm new to FC3 and I have been looking for hours through the man pages with no luck, but is there a good way in the shell or GNOME to mount a network drive to the system? The drive I need to access requires a logon and is running under a Windows XP partition, although whether it's FAT32 or NTFS I'm not sure. Thanks, Chris

Testing apps on dual booting machine.
by M.Rudra 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

Hello List , Currently I use FC-1 and also have a dual boot machine with win-XP. My question : I have not programmed with Linux, but would like to. So if i create a seperate *user* and download any linux application under development to fiddle with, will it crash my dual boot or linux box ? I had read a few articles/blogs about problems with testing/programming on a dual booting FC and XP machine. I dont want that problem :-) as i wouldnt know how to fix it. This is my home PC - I use it for regular stuff (music, email, browsing, office apps, other stuff...) and yet I want it to be stable.... Any suggestions/info/ideas welcome.. thanks..MR

Removing a "busy" text file?
by Richard S. Crawford 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

I began to rip a CD using KAudioCreator. Halfway through, I realized that I'd put in the wrong filename format, and cancelled the job. Then I went into the directory where it had been writing files to, and tried to delete one of the created MP3's. I got the following error message: richard@seamus: ~/music/Howard Shore $ rm -rf THELO~1H/ rm: cannot remove `THELO~1H//Concerning Hobbits.mp3': Text file busy running ls gives: richard@seamus: ~/music/Howard Shore/THELO~1H $ ls -laF total 8 drwxrwxrwx 1 richard 504 4096 Jan 30 11:52 ./ drwxrwxrwx 1 richard 504 4096 Jan 30 11:47 ../ -rwxrwxrwx 1 richard 504 0 Jan 30 11:48 Concerning Hobbits.mp3* I've shut down KAudioCreator and used ps to see if there is still a KAudioCreator process running, but I can't find one. How could the file be busy? I'm not looking at it in any other program. I've tried to delete it in several ways, even su'ing to root to do so. Any thoughts? What could be causing this, and how can I fix it? -- Slainte, Richard S.

What version of software to download?
by Leandro Melo 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

Hi, i'm a beginner use. I've been trying to set up my development enviroment in fedora. Don't know if i'll be able to do it, but as i go one step further i come up with thousands of doubts. Here's a basic one. I'd like to download Eclipse (java ide) and there are a few builds for linux. In my case, i know i'd get the x86's versions, but there're two of them. - Linux (x86/Motif) - Linux (x86/GTK 2) There are an info page that says the red had system would use the gtk version, so i think that that's what i should use in fedora. However, i have a doubt: i understand that motif and gtk are user interfaces software, but i don't understand why would they have two diferent builds in this case. Can anyone explain to me? Also, i use default's gnome in fedora core, may it cause any problem? Thanks. -- Leandro
