Error message on start up
by Chris& Karen Morgan 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Can someone help me by explaining how I can overcome the following error message:- Could not look up internet address for x1-6-00-11-2f-35-38-bf. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding x1-6-00-11-2f-35-38-bf to the file /etc/hosts. It's my first day using Fedora and i'm totally new to Linux. Thanks, Chris

How can I complete a nearly finished but interrupted FC3 install?
by Stanley A. Klein 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

I tried to install FC3 on a new machine using CD's that I had used successfully before. With about 95% of the packages installed, the screen froze while installing from CD3. After restarting the system, I tried to resume the install using the "update" function but that expects a completed installation. I then did the media check and CD3 failed it. CD2 also failed, although it had completed its part of the installation. I looked at the system with the rescue function and it looks like most of the important packages are there. (I will have to update everything anyway.) However, it is missing the configuration steps that are done after the packages are installed, like setting up Grub, setting up X, and so forth. Right now, the system won't boot into Linux because the install wasn't finished. Is there any way I can complete the install without starting all over with a new set of disks? Stan Klein --

Canon Canoscan FB630P
by Olle & Susan 30 Apr '05

Dear Sir/Madam. Ah, the tribulations....... I have a Canoscan FB630P -This is a parallel port scanner. It is apparently supported under SANE. I had no problems getting it to work under Mandrake 10.1. (Mandrake has a wizard for scanners) Now, however, under FC3 it won't work XSANE does not see it, does see my TV-card. I have read all the documentation I can lay my hands on, but no luck. Could someone please point me in the right direction. Computer is a Sony Vaio RB30. Parport0 and others does show up in /dev Olle

RealPlayer dissapeared
by Sam Williams 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Dear people, I had RealPlayer installed, running nicely, included in KDE and Gnome menus, and when I said Open to an MP3 file it would invoke RP and play it. Recently ran up2date and RealPlayer disappeared from menus, desktop and also disappeared from whatever list tells OS what to do with an MP3 type of file--it now opens Helix player that pops up error message saying I should use RealPlayer. Found realplayer files several places on disk, tried to reinstall. But, it said that RP was already installed and then stopped. I'd be happy to un-install then reinstall if I knew how. Wouldn't mind fixing Helix so it would do the job. Just want to play my MP3s. Please tell me how. Thanks, Sam

by Greg Swallow 30 Apr '05

Ok, all. Setup a dual-boot system with FC3 and Win98SE for a friend. Need to be sure FC3 has his Windows data partition somewhere he can get to. Never used Windows with Linux in dual- boot. So, how do I mount the partition so that it stays that way when I deliver this box? Primary IDE hda1 Windows (C:\) hda2 /boot hda3 / hdb CD-ROM Secondary IDE hdc1 Windows Swap (D:\) hdc2 Linux Swap hdd CD-Writer Promise Ultra 100 IDE hde1 Windows Data (E:\ - mounting this partition) hde2 ...

Getting FC3 to see a Benq FP767
by Beartooth 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

I have what I've been assuming is a hardware config problem in FC3 on a p2; but I'm beginning to wonder. It affects Pan more than anything else, but it does affect pretty much all my apps. I have a pentium2 testbed machine which has successfully run everything from RH 7.2 to FC2. I upgraded it recently, from behind a KVM switch, to FC3. A bunch of details in the display went bad, and Pan most of all -- the in-between size window (the one I use) insists on being wider than the screen. The monitor is a BenQ FP767, which does 1280 x 1024; and there is a choice of it in the hardware list under Display (which does offer the right numbers, from the git-go, under both FC1 and FC2). But under FC3 it offers only a choice between 800 x 600, and 640 x 480; if I go to "generic LCD 1280 x 1024" it makes no difference. Someone suggested getting the machine out from behind the KVM switch, and reconfiguring it. I did. No joy. I had upgraded from FC2 to FC3; someone suggested a clean install. So yesterday I rearranged all the hardware, with the p2 connected in solitary splendor directly to KV&M w/o switch again; installed FC3 from CDs (burned sometime in December), wiping everything; and updated. RESULT -- alas! Even after several rounds of Main Menu > System Settings > Display, with log-outs and back -ins as appropriate (sometimes reboots), trying both Benq FP767 and "generic LCD 1280 x 1024" -- I still get only a choice between 800 x 600 and 640 x 480. And Pan still won't accept the size window I want, as it has done on this machine with RH9, FC1, and FC2, using this monitor, with and without the KVM switch. I haven't yet tried actually editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or whatever it is. But I'm not sanguine. Not sanguine at all. Before I try that editing, which was an exercise in hairiness under early FC1, when the BenQ had only just come onto the market, is there any reason anyone can see why the default options under the monitor's name should have *lost* the right numbers, instead of kept them from FC1 and FC2 ?? -- Beartooth Neo-Redneck, Linux Evangelist FC 12&3, YDL 4; Pine 4.62, Pan 0.14.2; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo-0.8.4, Opera 8.0, Firefox 1.0.3 Remember that I have little idea what I am talking about.

fedora install using floppy
by bruce 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

hi... still struggling with this issue.. for those new to the problems, we have a number of systems that only have floppies.. we need to be able to install FC3 on the systems. we have the FC3 iso files on a http/ftp server on the network. our need is to somehow come up with a floppy that will allow us to insert the floppy, load any required drivers, and allow us to start the Fedora installation process. we imagine the floppy should have what ever allows it to do a basic shell/os install. in other words, we shouldn't initially assume that the current underlying HD has a valid OS. we know this was posible with RH8, as some of the machines had RH8 on them already... any ideas/thoughts on this... bruce bedouglas(a)earthlink.net

OT a bit: fetchmail question
by Jack Wallen 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

i've been using fetchmail for quite some time now. but i've run into a problem. i had to switch providers recently and my username went from jlwallen to jlwallen(a)monkeypantz.net (my domain but now being hosted by someone other than myself - i was busted by my isp for having servers running). now that my username for mail has changed i can get fetchmail to fetch the mail but since there is no user named jlwallen(a)monkeypantz.net on my machine - i can't actually deliver the mail locally. is there a way i can configure fetchmail around this? or am i going to have to set up a user jlwallen(a)monkeypantz.net on this machine? thanks for any help. -- jack wallen, jr <-O nature loves variety -+- actor, writer, graphics designer society hates it | gender, blender, malcontender
