Loading Modules at Boot
by Rick Bilonick 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

I need to load cx88-dvb at boot time. I'm using fc4 (64-bit) on an Athon 64 system. Right now I'm doing: > /sbin/modprobe -rv cx88-dvb > /sbin/modprobe -v cx88-dvb I looked at /etc/rc.d/init.d but I'm confused as to where to add these commands. I need this to create /dev/dvb devices. Rick B.

Paul I don't understand your question. I login and automatically knode comes executed; on my desktop knode shows its window. I would disable permanently its execution (I don't want uninstall it). Andrea > Are you starting up with an empty session? > > Paul

James, My zoom adsl is a adsl x3 model 5560, and according to them instruction manual it can connect up to 253 computers and it can assign each one of them an individual IP address. I purchased the zoom adsl x3 in the UK and I am trying to set it up and use it in Italy. It easily connects each individual PC but isn't able to connect them both at the same time. Please help......

I HAVE gotten Eclipse / Tomcat to "work" but it is MANUAL at this time because apparently this is caused by Eclipse itself (and not necessarily by Fedora port because I tried the Eclipse version directly and the problem is the same) but it appears that somehow the WTP tomcat plugins are not finding, translating, copying the files over properly to the .metadata and Servers locations properly for which Tomcat needs before it can even start. Specifically: Servers tomcat v5.5 Server @ localhost-config <<< missing required files >>> And in the .metadata tree is missing: .metadata .plugins org.eclipse.wst.server.core tmp0 <<<< sometimes directories here get messed up >>> webapps <<< missing or corrupted files >>> So basically - the plug-ins are not able to locate the needed files to properly construct the base files for which Tomcat can proceed. Since I have been using Eclipse for awhile on Windows, I was able to compare Windows against Fedora and copied files and updated to the proper locations, I was able to get the Linux Eclipse to run and display my JSP application. But the minute that I attempt to run the 'Run As' and (re-)assign the Tomcat to the JSP application - it removes my manual changes and craps out. So the manual fix is repeated. Makes for painful development here :-)) Currently, there is no activity in the Fedora-Java group and it must be due to Xmas/New Years vacation week. Anyway - I *could* get the Eclipse sources and try to putter around myself but it would take too long for me to even get started so I am procrastinating figuring that the *professionals* resolve this long before I do :-() Kind regards, Dan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Configuring Fedora Core 4 & USB Flash drives?
by tlhackque 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

I was in a maze of twisty passages, so "help!". Fedora Core 4. Plug in a USB thumb drive. Successfully recognized by the kernel & a SCSI "drive" is created. But it doesn't get mounted put on the desktop. CDROMs/DVDs do. I have the desktop->preferences->removable drives->{mount drives when hot-plugged, media when inserted clicked. A manual mount does work; the device then appears on the desktop as expected. So something in the hotplug chain is deciding not to do the mount. I got lost in the hal/hotplug/automount scripts. Someone's been here before. What's the easiest way to track this down? (Or the recipe for configuring this device?) Details below. Thanks in advance.

yum log?
by Knute Johnson 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi: I got the following email from cron this morning. I logged in and looked at the file, repomd.xml, but since I don't know what I'm looking for couldn't tell if it was damaged. I tried running yum update and got a similar message back. I then ran yum clean all and then yum update and it seems to work fine now. This is on an FC3 desktop machine and there haven't been any updates from yum for me since the 17th. I presume that there won't be many as FC5 is approaching? Do these files get damaged on occaision? Thanks, /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron: //var/cache/yum/base/repomd.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found This site is a Mirror for: ^ Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: base Error importing repomd.xml from base: Error: could not parse file //var/cache/yum/base/repomd.xml -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe...

Installing on an AMD K6-2-350
by david 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Folks I have an ancient machine that ran FC1 just fine. However, now when I boot from the installation CD (1), and enter linux text the system reboots itself. I can't get out of this loop. Should I discard the computer, or is there some magic boot parameter that might work? Or some alternate solution, since floppys are too small. Thanks David

PAM pwdb "structure not valid" messages
by B Wooster 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

In /var/log/messages, I get these lines: PAM_pwdb ... get passwd; pwdb: structure is no longer valid when a failed login takes place on a FTP session. I don't see that line when a valid username/password is used with FTP. Which leads me to believe that the shadow/passwd file is all fine, is this is a config issue or a bug? In /etc/pam.d/ftp file, if I comment out this line: auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok then I don't get the "stucture no longer valid" messages (but of course, PAM is now out of the picture). I'm running FC3, all latest versions using "yum update", and proftpd is my FTP server.

Disk Configuration
by Chris Norman 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi, As I said yesterday, I mounted a new disk into my machine and set a background wget pulling some images for me, the only trouble is, I shut down the machine last night, and had to remount the drive this morning. Is there any way of this being done on startup without my intervention? I have a feeling it's to do with fstab-sync, but when I ran it, I got this output: [root@bob ~]# fstab-sync error: libhal_ctx_init_direct: (null): (null) Is this a problem with my fstab-sync? Or a problem with that disk I e-mailed about yesterday? Cheers, Chris Norman  Selling cheap but functional shell accounts.
