Linux killer!
by malcolm 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

I work in a school and we are thinking about Linux I put some test machines out - Fedora, Suse and Ubuntu The view of the students was Fedora was the best ..great so far Then we did the KDE v Gnome thing - Gnome won ... even better Then I asked the question - so what do you think of Linux ? 'It sucks ! ' was the almost universal response ( students aged 11 to 18 ) Why I asked .. It never falls over, XP dies all the time ... true they said OO is just like Office to use and doesn't munge up documents .. also true they said It will save the school £20000 per year, so why does it suck Because we can't watch Yahoo music videos and that was it - Ok I did point out that they weren't suppose to be watching them at all really but that doesn't cut much ice with teenagers. So the problem is this - I am never going to get this off the ground if I don't have the support of the kids. Windows Media is my Linux killer - Codeweavers are OK but only support WMP 6.4 - I've never got gxine to work properly and the Linux version of Real Player won't do the 'universal player' trick that the Windows one does. Even the most angst ridden teenager admitted that 99% of Linux was better than the Windows equivalent but not one of them wanted to use it simply because of the lack of Windows Media plugins Help .... please !

USB modem install on FC4
by Jean François Ortolo 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

Hi all I have got installed FC4 32bits on my AMD64 machine as a classic client workstation. The Ethernet connection works fine, as much as all network configuration tools. I've some difficulties to setup an USB analog modem, Hayes compatible. Whenever the modem is being switched to USB, the right modules are being charged ( generic-ppp, etc... ), however, when I try to setup the new modem device as root with the menu "Desktop" -> "System Settings" -> "Network", the only listed serial interfaces are classic serial interfaces, no USB interface, unless I'm wrong. All the listed interface are: modem ( There is no /dev/modem device in the /dev directory ), ttyS0, 1, etc, ttyl0, 1, etc, input/tty-something_I_don't_recall, ttyM0, 1, etc, and ttyACM0, 1, etc. I presume all these interfaces are purely serial, not USB, so I can't setup my modem, such that it could be accessible by the machine. I tried "modem" ( which gives me error 2 after an "ifup <device>", then "ttyS0", which gives me error 6 ( unsuccessful locking attempt ). I tried with the debug options in the /etc/ppp/options file. The /var/log/messsages file shows the modem doesn't respond at all to the ATZ command, which proves it's not accessible from the machine, through the ttyS0 interface. The modem interface was the first option I setup, which gave me error 2 at fist attempt to make an "ifup <device>". The error 2 is not very clear. The 'man pppd' says any error, for example "contradiction beetween the configuration characteristics". The fact is, the /dev/modem doesn't exist at all, which is something I don't understand. Many thanks four your help. Best regards. Jean-Francois Ortolo

DVD doesn't mount, but writing works fine.
by Kim Lux 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

I'm running FC4 with all the updates. Generally it works great. I can write DVDs without errors using K3B. However, I can't mount a DVD for reading. Selecting "Mount" on the "CD Recorder" icon on the desktop yields: "mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified Please check that the disk is entered correctly." I've tried this with both a Rocky Ridge and Joliet formated DVDs as well as a 3rd party commercial DVD. Double clicking the "CD Recorder" icon yields: Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified Doing it manually: mount /dev/hdc -tjfs tmp mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, missing codepage or other error Any idea what could be causing this problem ? -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc.

mounting DVD/CD, what is supposed to be in fstab ?
by korgull 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

Hi, I'm having an issue with mythTV. Previously in FC3 I could slide in a CD or DVD and mythTV would recognize the format and either mount the CD or start playing the DVD. Now in FC4 that doesn't work anymore for me. I've tried some things and when I set the fstype in fstab to udf, mythTV plays DVD's automatically again. Unfortunately it doesn't mount a normal CD that way, so I'm still not back to the way it used to be. I somehow can't put "auto" for fstype in fstab because in that case it will mount a DVD using the iso9660 fstype (which is wrong). When that happens, mythT will not recognize the disc as a DVD any more and not start playback. Is this mouting of a DVD using the iso9660 fstype a bug ? Does anyone have a solution ? Regards, Marcel
