Setting time zone from shell?
by patrick 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

How does one change the time zone of the machine? And, if during installation I didn't select "System clock uses UTC" but now I do want this enabled, how do I change that? Thanks, Patrick

cyber cafe
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi, A cyber cafe manager is going to renew all his hardware, and he would be interested in switching to Linux. I would like to introduce Fedora/GNOME to him. The only missing thing is the time counter. If I could find a "time counter", it would be ok. There would be one user per computer. All clients coming to the cyber cafe would log in as "computer1" on the first computer, "computer2" on the second and so on.... I could make a script, or anything that would do something (send some signal) when the user logs in, and do another thing when he logs out. So the question is: - How to make an executable to run when an user logs in ? - How to make an executable to run when an user logs out ? Using GNOME on Fedora Core. Thank you. -- Administration & Formation à l'administration de serveurs dédiés: http://www.google.fr/search?q=aspo+infogerance+serveur

One more thing is not clear to me, even though I want to install the JDK, do I still need to install the JRE? Installing the JDK the proper way is to rebuild the rpm but nothing is said about the JRE, assuming that it needed. Can you clarify this please? Thanks alot.

So, where did you get the rpm's for FC4? Just go to sun's site, download the java bin file, and follow their install instructions? Is that it? >-----Original Message----- >From: fedora-list-bounces(a)redhat.com >[mailto:fedora-list-bounces@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Paul Smith >Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 3:51 PM >To: For users of Fedora Core releases >Subject: Re: Java 1.50 not installed in FC4?

Windows install disc can't see my FC4 partitions
by Ken Schutte 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

I need to setup a dual boot system on my x40 Thinkpad laptop. I've done it without problems before, but this time I have FC4 installed first, and now want to add a Windows XP partition. On intial FC4 setup, I used disk druid and kept some open space, then later used qtparted in knoppix to create an NTFS partition. Currently fdisk -l shows: Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 3582 28667992+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 3583 3647 522112+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda4 3648 4864 9775552+ 7 HPFS/NTFS When I try to boot from a Windows XP disc to install Windows, it quickly flashes some text saying something like "please wait while checks your system...", then the screen is blank and nothing happens and I have to just reset. Should I be able to boot and install from a WinXP disc given that partition table? Sorry if this it a bit of a windows question, but all these partions were created in linux, so maybe somebody could help. Thanks! Ken

internet access via a wireless phone ?
by Kevin Kempter 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi List; I'm working at a client site which has decided to take extreme measures so they can continue to use insecure M$ products. The latest is that they have shut down virtually all external internet access outside of their intranet. Is there a way I could use my treo phone to allow my laptop running FC3 to connect to the internet ?

linux-2.6.14 won't compile FC2/FC3
by Bill Rees 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Has anyone had any luck completing a "make modules_install" of the 2.6.14 linux kernel on a gcc3.3 sytstem? I've tried two systems, one an FC2 and one an FC3, and both fail with the following error message: if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.14; fi make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 137 Running the commnad "/sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.14" from the cli results in a "Killed" message. I'm running with the depmod contained in the package: module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.3 I havent found a good definition for Error 137 and google results imply it means "Value not recognized." The make modules_install works just fine on an FC4 system (with gcc4). Bill
