Paradoxically the OP expressed an interest in having a stable file system. If you really care about having something work well it's in your interest to particpate in the development process, even if that only means giving a little feedback. The alternative when you meet a bug is to label the software as having failed and move onto something else, but that approach is eventually going to be exhausted. -- imalone

tuxpaint crashes on startup?
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I usually have to start tuxpaint 3-4 times before it successfully launches. The other times, it crashes on the splash screen, just before the "theme music" plays. Has anyone else seen/fixed this? I launch it from a gnome desktop icon, which runs: tuxpaint --fullscreen --noprint I'm using the extras rpm. Any help appreciated! - Mike

Unable to upgrade FC4?
by Darryl L. Pierce 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I tried doing a yum upgrade today and it came back with a list of a number of upgrade candidates. However, it won't perform the upgrade because of "Missing Dependancy: libwx_gtk2-2.4.so.0". However, when I try to install that package (wxGTK) I get the *same* error from yum. Suggestions? -- Darryl L.

by Gilbert Sebenste 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

hey all, I know this was handled *somewhere*, but I can't find it. I am trying to use the Alsa mixer to pipe audio from a weather radio into my computer to broadcast out on a web server. After the FC 4 upgrade, there's no sound...the input appears to be at zero. I have been going through the Alsa mixer over the last half hour, trying to get it working, to no avail. can someone help me out here?

I wish RedHat would be more open to using it, not even including it in the install seems a bit much to me. Though I think you can install with reiserfs if you do a linux reiserfs while booting from the CD, I haven't tested it. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/printthread.php?t=25826 -Mike

VMware 5: Is it possible to install its tools in Slackware guest OS?
by Strong 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I know VMware 5 does not support Slackware, and it was proved by its tools installation as it looks for rcN.d dirs and of course, can't find it. Yet is here one that won that somehow? - Without it I get 640x480 in X-session and not more... Thanks in advance! -- Best regards, Strong.

For example: lsof | grep 2345 Note that on various flavors unix, I have seen the "already in use" message for a short time after a program exits. That is, start a program which listens on a certain port, exit the program, immediately restart the program. A quick test says FC4 does not seem to do this. -- Bob Styma
