Hi All, the below sequence, between my box, and the mail server shows some funny text. Is that set by the providers IT team.? I ask, just outa curiosity, and because one of the guys at my provider is a member of the Linux Group I frequent here in Tokyo. Gonna rib him about it next time we drink together. Cheers.

Remote X problem
by Greg Trounson 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

I have two Fedora Core boxes here (one FC3 and the other FC4). On either of them I can do the following: On machine1: xhost +machine2; On machine2: export DISPLAY=machine1:0 xterm & At which point an xterm should appear on machine1, right? Wrong. Well, it always used to, right up until I guess FC2. But that no longer seems to be the case. Instead I get: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: machine1:0 What has changed? How can I get remote X programs to work? I can do this partially by tunnelling through ssh (ssh -X machine2), but that is stopped dead in its tracks if I su to another account (eg root). thanks, Greg -- -- Greg Trounson -------------------------- Analyst Programmer / System Administrator Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand +64-3-479-7739 -------=[ gregt(a)maths.otago.ac.nz ]=-------

auto umount usb devices?
by Han-Wen Nienhuys 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, how do I configure gnome-volume-manager to auto-umount USB devices when they're unplugged? I understand that pulling ext2 file systems without umounting is a bad idea, but it should be feasible with ext3 and vfat file system that have been mounted synchronously. I don't really mind this myself, but I have a hard time explaining my parents the fine points of (dis)mounting filesystems. I believe Windows XP handles unplug events automatically.

Kernel version x device problems
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, people I run FC4 on a system with a ASUS K8VX motherboard and a ATI All-In-Wonder 9000 pro video card. I've noticed today that ATI drivers (RPMs downloaded from livna) are no longer working. I'm using kernel 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 and the following messages are logged at boot time: [fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.16.20 [Aug 16 2005] on minor 0 [fglrx:firegl_unlock] *ERROR* Process 2930 using kernel context 0 The number of the process changes every boot, but the process is always /usr/X11R6/bin/X. However, the drivers were working before, with this kernel version and with the preceding ones too. I didn't notice when the drivers stopped working, so I don't know after which update they began to fail. If I update the kernel to one of the available 2.6.13-*, the ATI drivers work ok. However, both the onboard sound and ethernet stop working (!). Any clues? Anyone else with similar problems with kernels 2.6.13 and ASUS K8VX onboard devices? Thanks, Marcelo

Evolution problem
by Stéphane Bruno 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hello, I am having problems with Evolution. I receive the error : "Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync". It seems that Evolution can't keep track of messages I already read or deleted. I cannot empty the trash. How can I fix it ? -- Stéphane Bruno <sbruno(a)rddh.org.ht>

DVD: mencoder compression.
by Strong 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Я rip titles from DVD (as I have learned with the very good parameters) this way: $ mencoder dvd://3 -sws 2 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:vbitrate=1800:vpass=1 -vf crop=854:355:0:62,scale=854 -o movie.avi But get at least 3 problems: . mplayer shows picture with the width=854, while mencoder (if I use not scale=854), compresses it with width=720. - Why? . In the frames of a lot of movement I noticed the picture is covered with VERY BIG squares! While at the scenes of a little movement, the picture is quiet well. . As I try to do make second pass (the same command differs in vpass=2 only), - as I understood, for the better quality - the more passes, the better picture is - in my case quality becomes worse and not better! So, if any comment, suggestions, please share them with me. I have mplayer-1.0-0.16.pre7.2.fc4 that I made out of src.rpm. Thank You! -- Best regards, Strong.

Farsync V.35 Card with FC4 (or Kernel 2.6.x)
by fedora.kh＠undp.org 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Dear All: I've been trying to configure the FarSync V.35 PCI card with 2 ports to work on Fedora Core 4. The card comes with a module for Linux, but need to compiled and loaded into the kernel with HDLC support. I followed the card's manuals which include kernel rebuild for FarSync support but failed to make it work. I hope, someone here has used the same card and could guide me through the steps to make it work. My questions are: - What is the proper way to re-compile the kernel that comes with Fedora Care 4? - What do I need to enable in the kernel for the card to work? Regards, Vidol
