Hi all, my scim-1.4.2-4.fc4 installation doesn't work in my FC4, scim doesn't popup after I trigger the shortcut ctrl+space. So I want uninstall it to try a new installation. But the uninstallation failed with following message.

Mplayer almost no sound in fc4
by Barry Yu 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

In same FC4 both xine and mplayer installed, xine works fine, but mplayer has very very weak audio - only can hear the dvd film sound when turn hardware and software vol to max but still can hear very little, equivalent to 1/4 sound level when played with xine. I used yum installed from livna.

rpm segmentation fault
by alexander.beck-ratzka 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hello list, I've tried to install JRE in order to use eclipse later on, but if I run rpm -i --test ... I've got a segmentation fault :-( The installation of JSDK with rpm failed, because ... #########################cut here################## error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. #########################cut here################## Well, so I only need to install libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3, and I found it as compat-libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 on the ftp server: ftp://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ But again: rpm -i --test ... -> segmentation fault? Are there any ideas, perhaps that it is forbidden to use JAVA on fedora? Regards Alexander

Can't display google maps or msnmaps in firefox
by Oldman 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hello all Just after google maps went online I checked it out and was very impressed. Ditto with msn maps or whatever it's called. However I seem to have done something to cause it to stop working and I'll be darned if I can figure out what. When displaying I get a gray box with some smaller gray boxes where the pins should be. I have removed all extensions (but not plugins!) and this did not help. Interesting to note that if I fire up Mozilla, both sites work fine. Anyone got an idea? Scott

Bridging interfaces and the internet
by Justin Willmert 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

I just set up a desktop with two network cards and have got a bridge working between the two. That is not what my problem lies in though. I would like for the box to be able to connect to the internet also, but if I understand what I've set up correctly, I can't do that with my current setup. When I've tried to give one of the network cards an IP address, nothing but lo works, so I know there's something missing. I'll add my configuration at the bottom, but shortly, br0 is configured with an IP address, and eth0 and eth1 have none. Now, I know br0 is capable of at least a network connection because as I type this, I'm currently SSHed into into the box, but if I try to ping anything, all the packets are lost. OK, so here are some of my thoughts and possible hints to a solution: 1) My routing tables need another route, so I just figure out how to configure that and add a route. 2) br0, eth0, and eth1 are incapable of an internet connection, in which case I need to create a virtual interface that can connect as if it were a separate interface that does the internet connecting. 3) (Very unsure, but...) use a alias interface to allow both eth0 without an IP address to make br0 happy and give eth0:0 an IP address to allow me to connect to the internet.

Install kernel-kdump to avoid an error logged at boot time (FC5), or change start-up scripts?
by Reshat Sabiq 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

I've been getting Starting kdump: No kdump kernel image found. Tried to locate /boot/vmlinux-2.6.14-1.1632_FC5kdump and has logged a bug about it. Until that's taken care of, would you guys recommend to install the kdump kernel, or rename S20kdump files to K99kdump? Thanks.
