old kernel // new glibc
by joao.miguel.ferreira.19740720＠portugalmail.pt 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hello, I currently updated my kernel and my glibc. But if, in Grub, I boot with the previous kernel the system works just fine. Should there be any kind of dependence between kernel's and glibc's. What is the limit of this game ? Which kernel's can't I use with which glibc's ? just wondering... jmf __________________________________________________________ O email preferido dos portugueses agora com 2 000 MB de espaço e acesso gratuito à Internet http://www.portugalmail.pt/2000mb

FC4 - KVM mouse needing reset
by Doug Coats 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

I have a number of FC4 boxes set up as servers hooked up to a KVM switch. Every once in a while when I go to use them at the machine the mouse is messed up. It moves sporadically and acts as though I am clicking on things that I am not. Is there any way to reset the mouse from the command line without rebooting the machine? Thanks for your help! Doug

no boot after kernel update
by joao.miguel.ferreira.19740720＠portugalmail.pt 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hello all, I have a problem: my system doesn't boot !!! That's notr good but you gotta keep a sense of humour. Last friday I updated simumtaneouslly the kernel (from 2.6.9-1.667 to 2.6.12-1.1381), glibc and perl packages. At reboot it seems to be unable to start apache (complaints about loading the perl module) then it starts some 2 or 3 services and then the boot process freezes (2 complete days... and no boot). Please help me. jmf __________________________________________________________ Continua a preferir gastar mais? Compare o preço da sua ligação à Internet http://acesso.portugalmail.pt/compare

Wireless rt2500 on dual AMD64
by Jim Christiansen 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

I've just popped my linksys wmp54g using the rt2500 chip into this new dual AMD64 box and after reading everything I can find about this new combo of parts I don't think it is a go. Does anyone know anything about about this?? Using the supplied rt2500.inf and sys that worked in my Fedora 32 bit systems just fine I get an error in my logs about using ndiswrapper and windows drivers in a 64 bit system. If I grab the serialmonkey rt2500 download and read their faq, I need to turn off smp... no way, so am I back to copper? Thanks, Jim

producing a PS file from TeX
by Robert Cahn 05 Dec '05

I'm trying to use dvips to produce a ps file. On Fedora dvips seems only to send the output to lpr. Is there a way of taking file.tex (which includes .eps figures) and producing file.ps? /Bob Cahn Gipsy Trail Club Carmel, NY
