SNMP Problems
by Timothy A. Holmes
Good Morning everyone:
I am hitting a bit of a snag here with SNMP:
I have a FC3 samba server which I wish to begin monitoring, and I am in
the beginning stages of getting it set up.
I logged into the system remotely using ssh
Checked the snmpd.conf file but didn't change anything
Started the snmpd daemon
Fed it the following command
Snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost system
I got an error indicating that the net-snmp-utils were not installed, so
I
yum install net-snmp-utils
now when I try to start snmpd I get the following error
[root@srvfs-02 snmp]# service snmpd start
Starting snmpd: /usr/sbin/snmpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/snmpd:
undefined symbol: snmp_log_syslogname
[FAILED]
I have googled around for this problem, and have found nothing - can
someone please suggest a solution or a course of action????

Suspend/hibernation/sleep of laptop on FC4?
by Patrick
Hi all,
The last item to tackle on my new laptop is to figure out how to get it
to go into some sort of standby mode when I either close the lid,
briefly press the power button or right click on the battery icon and
select suspend. I have googled around but haven't really found the one
stop shop how to do it. I've read that "suspend to disk" is only
supported with the patches from http://swsusp2.net/ but Dave Jones'
stance ("My comments on swsusp are largely unprintable" don't really
inspire confidence. See
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-October/msg01375.html)
So I have a few questions:
1) what is supported by the latest FC4 update kernel (2.6.13-1526)?
2) how can I make the parts that are supported (and safe) work on FC4?
3) according to one report the kernel parameter "acpi_sleep=s3_bios" can
result in filesystem corruption on 2.6.12. Does that apply to the FC4
kernels too? See:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Fedora_Core_4_on_a_ThinkPad_X41_...
If possible I would like the power button to act as follows:
- press it briefly and go into some sort of standby
- press it longer and shut down the laptop
On the laptop I also have a key combination (Fn-F4) that supposedly
generates an ACPI sleep message. Would be nice if I could use that one
too.
Many thanks for any pointers.
Regards,
Patrick

Stellarium
by Antonio Montagnani
using Stellarium but location cannot be set properly, unless directly in
config.ini file, otherwise latitude and longitude are unproperly
recorded in this file.
Fedora Core 4, Stellarium 0.7.0-1.2.fc4rf@i386 RPM...and I am in Italy,
in case that hint is connected to some noise due to language :-)
Tnx

non-ASCII error messages from gcc
by Berna Massingill
On FC2 (and earlier RedHat) systems, error messages from gcc seem
to have been straight ASCII. On a couple of FC4 systems, output
includes some non-ASCII characters; specifically, the characters
used for single quotes (previous ` and ') have been replaced by
something multi-byte. (I base this claim on redirecting stderr
into a file and then displaying file contents with "od -c".)
The sequence that replaces ' displays okay, but the sequence that
replaces ` does not (appears as boldface u with umlaut).
My guess is that there's an environment variable somewhere that's
not getting set quite right; the man page for gcc seems to be
indicating that what gets produced for error messages is controlled
by environment variables LANG and LC_MESSAGES. LC_MESSAGES is unset;
LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8.
Anyone know how to make the error messages display properly?

command "du" reports wrong size ?
by Steven Shiau
Hi
I got a strange problem. i.e. "du" command reports wrong size in FC3/4,
dd --version
dd (coreutils) 5.2.1
du --version
du (coreutils) 5.2.1
[fc3]~/tmp>dd if=/dev/zero of=dd.128 bs=1M count=128
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
[fc3]~/tmp>du -B 1M dd.128
129 dd.128
129 != 128
However, if I use the dd and du in RedHat 9:
[rh9]~/tmp>dd --version
dd (coreutils) 4.5.3
[rh9]~/tmp>du --version
du (coreutils) 4.5.3
[rh9]~/tmp>dd if=/dev/zero of=dd.128 bs=1M count=128
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
[rh9]~/tmp>du -B 1M dd.128
128 dd.128
That's correct in RH9. Is that a bug of du in the coreutils 5.2.1 ? Or
where am I wrong ?
Thanks.

Choose a Session
by Thufir
On my Fedora Core 3 system, set to runlevel 5, there's a graphical
login screen. Clicking on "session" brings up a window with two
choices:
1. Default System Session
2. failsafe_Terminal
Starting gnome-panel from an Xterm window brings up the gnome panel
very nicely. Also, starting nautilus from an Xterm window will bring
up the desktop.
Is there some sort of setting in the menu which I can configure so
that Gnome will appear in the list of session options? It was listed
until quite recently.
Thanks,
Thufir

fc4 yumex update now no sound
by Josh Coffman
Hi,
I just ran updates to my fc4 laptop and fc4 desktop.
On the desktop I did everything including the latest
kernel. On the laptop I skipped the kernel cause I
didn't feel like reinstalling nvidia drivers and
ndiswrapper.
Both are having problems with sound under supertux.
but I can play stuff in mplayer. I don't know what
exactly was updated, gtk2 might have been one of them.
If someone can point me in the right direction, I
would really appreciate it.
Even better, if someone happens to have a could idea
inspite of my vaque description, I would really
appreciate that.
TIA,
-j

Newbie: Compiling Gnome 2.12

gphoto2 made out of src.rpm does not supports usb...
by Strong
I had gphoto2-2.1.5 that worked fine on my FC4. Now I wanted to upgrade
and optimize it to 2.1.6. It compiled well, but when new rpm has been
installed (-2.1.6.i686.rpm) it refuses to work with usb port. Run with
--debug option says,
0.001153 main(2): gphoto2 has been compiled with the following options:
0.001562 main(2): + gcc (C compiler used)
0.001968 main(2): + popt (for handling command-line parameters)
0.002380 main(2): + no exif (for displaying EXIF information)
0.002799 main(2): + no cdk (for accessing configuration options)
0.003208 main(2): + no aa (for displaying live previews)
0.003597 main(2): + no jpeg (for displaying live previews in JPEG
format)
0.004068 main(2): + no readline (for easy navigation in the shell)
0.004481 main(2): libgphoto2 2.1.6
0.004944 main(2): libgphoto2 has been compiled with the following
options:
0.005374 main(2): + gcc (C compiler used)
0.005776 main(2): + no EXIF (for special handling of EXIF files)
0.006193 main(2): + no ltdl (working around buggy libltdl, eh? :-)
0.006590 main(2): + /proc/meminfo (adapts cache size to memory
available)
0.007040 main(2): libgphoto2_port 0.5.1
0.007442 main(2): libgphoto2_port has been compiled with the following
options:
0.007975 main(2): + gcc (C compiler used)
0.008360 main(2): + no USB (for USB cameras)
0.009034 main(2): + serial (for serial cameras)
0.009428 main(2): + no resmgr (serial port access and locking)
0.009844 main(2): + no baudboy (serial port locking)
0.010247 main(2): + no ttylock (serial port locking)
0.010658 main(2): + no lockdev (serial port locking)
0.011068 main(2): + no ltdl (working around buggy libltdl, eh? :-)
So I suppose that I compiled without usb support. I looked at configure
--help, but there is even no mention of usb! What should I do to compile
it the right way?
Thank You.

IO slowdown with latest FC4 kernel
by Pedro Fernandes Macedo
Hello guys. I think I've stumbled across something weird.
My brother updated his machine today and since then he started to have
horrible IO performance with kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4. For example,
transfering his stuff to my computer as a backup (we started to suspect
the HDDs were going to stop working), the max speed with latest kernel
was below 1MB/s. With 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4, transfer speed is over 3MB/s
according to the ssh client I'm using right now.
Not to mention the average responsiveness of the system (a ssh login
with 1526 took about 10-20 seconds to show the login prompt, while with
1456 the prompt shows up immediately.
Any ideas on how I can test this to confirm if this is a bug or just
faulty hardware? I'm going to run a full smart test on the discs
tomorrow and a few RAM checks just in case, but the short test from
smart passed without any problems and the smart reports shows no
parameter outside the limits.
Thanks.
