OO.o & jre

Thank you, Paul. I will try it. One of the aims of my posting is that RH/FC developers has to take note of it, if it is their mistake. If it is mine, I wanted to get corrected. One thing I miss is implementation of delta-rpms in FC - if it is available by FC5, we are saved. Because, if this bug (say) is corrected, we have to download another 95MBs, hmm! This will be a problem where there is a limitation on data transfer my ISPs - though I have ADSL connection. Regards, Rajesh

rpm "list package names only"
by Morgan Read 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, I want a list of installed packages by package name only (i.e. no version, release, .rpm, etc.) How do I do it? Simple I know, but... I want to be able to generate two lists of rpms installed to diff so I know what package changes have occurred between one install and another.

syslog traffic analyzers
by Justin Zygmont 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a traffic analyzer that will read from a syslog file, and not just by binding to the network interface in promiscious mode. I was hoping to find a program that will show traffic usage by IP address, many of them just show the total traffic statistics.

Re: big Problem with FC 4 and SATA (hdparm error)
by spmirowski 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, i use a SATA Harddisk (Seagate 120GB) with Fedora Core 4. Everything in the System is up to date (yum). When i do this: hdparm -tT /dev/sda I get the following error: /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 1944 MB in 2.00 seconds = 971.94 MB/sec HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device Timing buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.01 seconds = 56.51 MB/sec HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device Its not very fast and the error message is not so good i think. What can i do to solve the Problem? I also tried FC 4 on different Mainboards with different SATA Harddisk. Same error every time. On FC3 with SATA there are no Problems! Downgrading is not possible. I hope someone can help me?! Thank you very much! regards Sebastian I first found this bug around kernel 2.6.6 or so. I believe it didn't go away until 2.6.13 for me. With the bug, my buffer disk reads went down 10 MB or so. I never actually noticed any difference in speed, it might have been just a bad benchmark. Advice I received was never use hdparm for testing if you want quality results. I don't really know much more about the topic. Stephen

Printer for FC4
by Michael Comperchio 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

I'm looking for a printer for my FC4. The only thing left that I can't do is print. I've got a Brother MFC 3100c that I haven't been able to find a printer driver for, so I guess I'm gonna have to replace it. That's ok. I want to be rid of the XP install that's sitting on my machine, so I'm quite willing to part with some hard earned money to do it!...but I am Scottish (not cheap, frugal) so don't want to part with too much of that hard earned money. Any Suggestions? Thanks Michael

I tested this theory out by restoring the original scripts and adding selinux=0 to grub, rebooted, and everything worked like a charm. Ok, so if I wanted to restore SElinux capability so that httpd would properly start up, what is it that I need to do, or if you want me to RTFM, can you provide me a starting place? What I noticed was that under SElinux, the httpd failed to run because of something regarding port 8090 for which FrontPage uses as a Virtual Server in that the httpd daemon did not have the permissions to create this port/socket and so httpd daemon failed to start. Until I can figure this out, I will have my box running w/o SElinux. Thanks for pointing this out. >Alexander > > >-- -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
