by Franck Y 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi everyone, I make several backup with bzip2, it seems that he has the better compression. I do my backup like this for several folders. tar cvf - /home/data/ | bzip2 -9 > /backup/data.tar.bz2 When i test the archive with bzip2 -t archive.tar.bz2, everything is correct when the archive is under 1 Go. But i get CRC error when it's upper .... Has anyone experience this ? -- Franck

ATI OpenGL driver only works with an FC4 "everything" installation
by Stanton Finley 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

I've been doing installation tests on a laptop with onboard ATI Technologies Inc ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) video. I have found that when I install the latest driver (ati-driver-installer-8.20.8-i386.run) the graphics acceleration feature does not take and "fglrxinfo" defaults back to the Mesa drivers *except* when I do an "everything" install on FC4. When I install "everything" it works and I get the proper message display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: RADEON XPRESS 200M Series SW TCL Generic OpenGL version string: 1.3.5519 (X4.3.0-8.20.8) when I do the "fglrxinfo" command. This happens even if I install kernel-devel and gcc. I'm thinking there must be some program(s) that I get with the "everything" install that makes it possible to install the ATI driver. If anyone knows what it is please let me know so I can just install that program rather than the "everything" install. Stanton Finley http://stanton-finley.net/

yum rpm removal afte 'yum localinstall *.rpm'
by Bob Hartung 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi all, Been having problems with java. Followed info on the Fedora site to make my own java-1.5.0.05 rpms with yum and then use the command to install them on my test FC4. The command was from within /home/test/rpmbuild/RPMS sudo yum localinstall *.rpm The command executed okay and properly filled all dependencies. Java --version reports the proper version. So far okay. Got Tomcat4 installed as required by the program I am testing. It will not work with > 1.4.2 java. So I have removed Tomcat with yum. Now how do I remove the list of java-1.5.0.05 rpms with yum. I have tried a variety of command forms without luck. Or do I have to try to remove them 1 by 1 with rpm -e? Tried this too, however, and rpm reports a slew of dependencies that may take a lifetime (exagggeration somewhat!) to figure out. help appreciated. I have tried to read the yum docs without much success. Thanks and a Happy New Year! Bob

kppp doesn't know modem initialisation strings !
by Parameshwara Bhat 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hello List, I am updated to latest (3.5) KDE from kde-redhat repository.When I run kppp,(sudo /usr/sbin/kppp), set correct modem port and ISP account.It just can't dial. When I checked in the configure dialogs,under 'modem commands',nothing is listed. Kppp has forgotten all the modem initialisation strings! Now, I run it as user,again the same.No initialisation strings.I give the chosen modem a name,save it and go to create a new modem,all the initialisation strings are there.But I cannot run it as I have no access right to modem as a user. I go back and sudo again.This time,with the same procedure,there is no luck.Kppp doesn't know anything about modem initialisation. By the By, latest linux creates ownership for the user on all devices like cdrom,floppy. [pbhat@sidharth ~]$ ls -l /dev/hdc brw------- 1 pbhat disk 22, 0 Dec 30 2005 /dev/hdc [pbhat@sidharth ~]$ ls -l /dev/fd0 brw-rw---- 1 pbhat floppy 2, 0 Dec 30 2005 /dev/fd0 [pbhat@sidharth ~]$ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 30 14:26 /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/1 [pbhat@sidharth ~]$ ls -l /dev/pts/1 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 136, 1 Dec 30 15:45 /dev/pts/1 why not on modem? Is it safe to add normal users to 'uucp' group? or change modem group to a new group like 'dialout' and make users its members ? I can 'sudo wvdial' successfully.

KDE3.5: Failure in changing login scheme...
by Strong 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

I've upgraded FC4's KDE to KDE3.5. Before that I had beautiful login scheme: I believe it was called BlueCurve and GUI style Keramik or in reverse order... In any way now I change any GUI style, Color Scheme in login manager using the administrator-mode button, and see no change how login is seen! - All is blue with the two fields for login... What is wrong?! -- Best regards, Strong.
