fstab vfat boot hang
by Gary Stainburn 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi folks. If I have the following line (below, line-wrapped single line) in my /etc/fstab my machine hangs during bootup at the fsck stage complaining that VFAT checking is still ALPHA. There is no HDD activity. If I boot in rescue mode and remove the line the box boots fine. What do I need to do to the line so I can leave it it and still have the machine boot. I've tried 'nocheck' and 'check=no' as possible options.

Nautilus processes

Hi I've got a question about Nautilus. Why after starting X there are many Nautilus processes which take a lot of memory. For example: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 11710 turich 15 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:02.89 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11711 tu 11710 turich 15 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:02.89 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11711 turich 16 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11712 turich 15 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11713 turich 16 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11714 turich 15 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11715 turich 15 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11716 turich 19 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11717 turich 19 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11718 turich 16 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11719 turich 16 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.04 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11720 turich 15 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11721 turich 20 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 11722 turich 18 0 37836 21m 20m S 0.0 2.1 0:00.00 nautilus --sm-client-id 11c0a80084000111209531400000113030005 --screen 0 1 What for this processes?

Xine on FC2
by Itay Furman 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi I installed the latest xine via yum. I could play mpg files, but when I tried to play DVD's I get a popup window with Xine engine error There is no input plugin available to handle 'dvd:/'. Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist. I noticed that I don't have /dev/dvd (but do have /dev/video/) but I don't how to create it or to what to link it. What should I do? Thanks, Itay BTW, The online help (ALT-H) was not available, too: "no help files". ---------------------------------------------------------------- itayf(a)u.washington.edu / +1 (206) 543 9040 / U of Washington

OT: Evolution New Mail Notification
by James Pifer 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

I'm running FC3 on my laptop using the gnome desktop. Gnome is version 2.8.0-3. My evolution version is 2.0.2-3. I can't get any new mail notification to work. I tried upgrading evolution with apt but ran into some other issues (see bottom). Not sure it would fix anything anyway. >From the archives it sounds like a known problem. Just wondering if there are any other ideas on setting up a mail notification. I thought about one of the utilities such as gnubiff, but I'm guessing they look directly at the mail server just like a client, so you could have timing problems with Evolution and gnubiff looking at different times. You would ending up missing some notifications here and there, but I guess it would be better than none at all. Any ideas are appreciated.

Installation Problems-Fedora Core Distribution 3
by Chris Savoury 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi everyone I am new to Linux but am trying to install Fedora Core Dist 3. I want to set up a dual boot machine on my existing Win XP computer. I intend to install Fedora to my D: drive. Going through the installation I get to the point of selecting English as my language and then English for the keyboard. Then I get 2 errors Assertion (heads >0) at disk_dos.c:485 in function probe_partition_for_geom ( ) failed. 96 Assertion (sectors <=63) at disk_dos.c:490 in function probe_partition_for_geom () failed. 96 The installation then stops and unmounts everything and gives me a message the install ended abnormally and it is now safe to reboot. I would appreciate any information anyone could provide or some direction on where I could look up some help. Again keeping in mind that I am very new to this. Thanks again Chris

Hi all, On my portable machine the DRIVER line in /etc/cpuspeed.conf shows "powernow-k7" but this machine has P-III mobile CPU. Where can we find the correct name to use? The processor is always running at half its speed. Thanks, François Ouellette <fouellet(a)idirect.com>

Notes on a Fedora Core 3 fresh installation
by Antonio Montagnani 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Due to unrecoverable errors on the file system (at least I didn't know how to manage it, a separate message this afternoon) after a system crash, I re-installed Fedora Core 3 on my old system. 1) during the graphical installation the screen went blank when the CD feeding started and never came back during installation even moving mouse or touching keyboard, but I could manage the installation by changing from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3 CD.First time I experience this behaviour. Any clue??? 2) after re-installation and transfer of the same configuration files (same iptables, samba) from my back-up machine, magically the Network Server started to work and now I can surf any shared Windows folder on other PCs.Any clue??? -- Antonio ================================================================================ Mail by Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 Websurfing by Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 http://start.mozilla.org/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:it-IT:off… ================================================================================ Posta con Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 Navigazione con Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 http://start.mozilla.org/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:it-IT:off… ================================================================================ Linux user number 362582 Skype user antoniomontag (telephone on TCP/IP) http://www.montagnani.org ================================================================================
