how to connect ipod
by Josh Coffman 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi all, Just got an ipod shuffle for my wife. Really don't want to boot windows to use it; also want my non-tech wife to be able to manager her music using gtkPod or something. The iPod Shuffle does not auto-mount on my FC4 install (kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4). Can someone tell me how to get the ipod to auto-mount/unmount? And get gtkPod or something setup and easy to use? __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com

Codec is short for Coder-Decoder. for a given media format, there are often multiple encodings available, each requiring a different codec. it's one reason why video is such a pain in the neck. richard

I would then recreate the NTFS partition at the front (or maybe let the XP install do it) and then install XP. You would probably have to then boot from the rescue disk and reinstall grub with grub-install to get a dual boot system. Your mileage may vary. Bob Styma

FC4 kernels & Ingo Molnar's realtime-preemt patch?
by Patrick 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi all, Does anyone have any experience with applying Ingo Molnar's realtime-preempt patch to recent FC4 kernels like 2.6.14-1.1633 in Testing? I tried sticking patch-2.6.14-rt2 in the srpm's kernel-2.6.spec as patch101 but that made patch810, patch812, patch1013, patch1083, patch1500-1505 fail. So I commented them out. Then the build process continued only to stop with make[1]: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 12 I really have no idea if this is possible at all or that I better should use a plain vanilla kernel so any pointers appreciated. The patch can be found at people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/ Thanks and regards, Patrick

java in OO.o2
by G Rajesh 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi, I use fc4 and I recently upgraded my OO.o from 104 build (given with CDs) to final release through Yum. Earlier I had installed jre (as a tarball linked through alternatives command). 104 build has promptly detected jre1.5 but this upgraded OO.o doesn't. I need OO.o base badly to work. Can some one help me out? Thanks in advance. Regards, Rajesh

ICH5 > 2.6.11 kernel panic
by tlc 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

P4P800-E Delux / 3.0E / 2GB ram / 80GB sata ( ICH5 ) FC3 upgraded to FC4 2.6.11.12 #5 SMP Thu Oct 20 17:18:06 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux SATA set to compatibility mode, secondary PATA + SATA. SATA boot drive, CD/DVDRW on PATA ( secondary ) The 2.6.11 kernel works fine, it sees my sata drive as /dev/sda and my cds as /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd When I try to upgrade past 2.6.11, I get a kernel panic on boot. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I have not paid much attention to the problem ( lack of time ) but I would like to get this resolved as hald and udev act funny under 2.6.11, so I compile a 2.6.14 kernel and I get the same error. I have also tried the default FC4 kernels and past 2.6.11 I get the same problem, and I have it on more then one machine. I have it on base installs after I do an upgrade. So I am assuming a driver was changed, or split, or something .. I can't paste the boot up log because it scrolls by too fast and the file system does not mount so it can not save it any where. I suspect it is not finding/using the sata drive and hence the error. Anyone have any clues?

Rsync througha proxy server
by Tony Molloy 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi All, I'm trying to get rsync to proxy through an apache httpd server to an rsync server. On the proxy, which has a direct connection to the internet, I've stopped the firewall and unset HTTP_PROXY and RSYNC_PROXY. I've configured the httpd to allow proxy requests as follows: <IfModule mod_proxy.c># ProxyRequests On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from .mydomain.ie </Proxy> # # Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers. # ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers) # Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block # ProxyVia On AllowCONNECT 443 563 873 i've tested rsync going direct to the rsync server and it works. On the client, which is on a private network, I've stopped the firewall and I've set RSYNC_PROXY=http://my-proxy-server.ie:80 HTTP_PROXY=http://my-proxy-server.ie:80 When I try to rsync to the external rsync server I get the following error. rsync: getaddrinfo: http //oldtraf: Servname not supported for ai_socktype rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(94) Any ideas what I'm missing Tony -- Tony Molloy.
