Mouse Configuration
by Adam Burke 02 May '05

02 May '05

Is there any way to reconfigure the mouse buttons in fedora? I have an IntelliMouse Explorer which has extra buttons on the side which are doing weird commands whenever i press them, and i would like to set them to be back and forward commands as they are default in windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Adam Burke

a2ps problem
by Michael Hennebry 02 May '05

02 May '05

Since changing from RH9 to FC3, a2ps is misbehaving. The default behaviour, (-2), gives me virtual pages with 68 lines and 80 columns apparently without reducing the font width. The left pages run into the right, the right pages run off the page. Room for 68 lines was apparently achieved by skimping on the inter-line space. What's going on? What can I do about it? -- Mike hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. *I* ONLY TURN UP ONCE." -- Death

I've beed able to set up two FC3's with a single grub, but what I'd really like to do is set up a second grub and have the first chainload to the second. (I want to play with custom kernels) on the second. I have two ide's, hda and hdb. My first fc3 is on hda. I tried installing the second fd3 with /boot on hdb1 and / on hdb2. I told anaconda to put the second grub on the mbr and used the advanced bootloader screen to reorder the drives so it would write it to hdb instead of hda. After installing, I went to my first grub.conf and added title Second Fedora rootnoveriy (hd1,0) chainloader +1 But when I reboot and select Second Fedora, I get Error 12 invalid or unsupported executable format. What did I do wrong? What's the right way to set this up? --Cliff

RE: Fedora, ALSA and MIDI OH MY! (Theme to lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!)
by Dan Thurman 01 May '05

01 May '05

Thanks for responding! Yes, I have tried Timidity. It does not work. Timidity has core dumped (segmentation fault) a couple times. I think the problem is at a lower level -- involving the devices - it appears to be something that is not activating the midi hardware interface or so I think.

Adding a new printer in FC2
by Deboo ^ 01 May '05

What do I need to to in order to add a new printer under fedora. And how to add it by editing the config files, rather than the gui, so that I could understand the behind-the-curtain things that happen. Deboo

Won't boot to X after install
by neidorff 01 May '05

01 May '05

Hi folks, This is about a fresh install of FC3 that won't boot into X to complete the install (post install steps). The system: 1.8 GHz Athlon XP ASUS A7V333 mb 1 Gig ram Buslogic 958 SCSI controller 18 Gig SCSI drive (seagate) NVIDIA graphics 64Mb (I forgot which chip it is, but it is AGP 4X) Downloaded & verified the FC3 CDs. Booted CD 1 and tested all media. All passed. Then, installed onto a clean HDD. I selected my packages (custom install) and install proceeded without problem. At the end of the install, it asked me to reboot. I did. The system came up to the point of a grey screen with a large mouse pointer. No desktop loaded. I checked the consoles and they showed no errors. I created 3 partitions: 1--boot (500Mb) 2--home (10Gig) 3--/ (7.5Gig or so). I can mount these partitions from my RH 7.3 installation, and it shows that none of them filled up. Will someone please help me fix this system so that it can boot and I can configure it? Many thanks, Mark

Crond and /var/log/messages
by David Fischer (DHL US) 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Question, I am currently getting crond success msgs in the var/log/messages file every hour and would like to quiet it a little but it appears that the only way to do this is to edit the /etc/pam.d/system-auth file on the pam_succeed_if line but this file is regenerated any time authconfig is ran. Does anyone have a syslog.conf solution that would drop these messages into the var/log/crond file instead? thanks
