RE: Linksys 54g Support - PLEASE!
by Callahan, Michael
Nope, you can't. Never mind. If this was using the Prism chipset it might
be possible, but since it is using Broadcom you're stuck with ndiswrapper
for now. I'll add my voice to yours, since I have one of these cards too.
It is currently in my Windows laptop but I'd like to be able to use it on
Linux.

You really should write Linksys asking for their help, and indicate that
future purchases will be influenced by driver support.

Good-bye Koffice 1.4, Hello Koffice 1.3.5
by Benjamin Sher
Dear friends:
I have been trying to install the latest Koffice 1.4. That is probably
why it would not "make" on my system. I do not necessarily need the
latest 1.4 version. So, I've downloaded and am now installing the
earlier Koffice 1.3.5. Configure went perfectly except that it said that
I needed aspell => 0.50.2. Well, I actully have that file:
[sher@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa aspell
aspell-0.50.5-3.fc3
[sher@localhost ~]$
But hopefully that's the only issue. If "make" and "make install" is
successful, I'll contact the list for help with this minor "aspell"
configuration issue.
Thank you.

gnome-panel memory hogging and always running
by Kazutoshi Morioka
Hello.
I found that gnome-panel got a lot of memory, and getting larger and larger.
I also found that gnome-panel is always running in idle state.
What is this? This is current state.

OpenOffice does not save document
by Harald Grossauer
I found this several times in different forums, but it has not been
answered yet:
I was working on an OpenOffice-Impress presentation. According to "save
early, save often" I hit the "save" button every few minutes. All of a
sudden OpenOffice told me "Write error. The document could not be written."
What to do now?

Unable to execute from USB Drive (FC2)
by Mike McCarty
I'll try again with a shorter message.
I'm having problems executing programs from a mounted USB drive.
I mount /dev/sda1 to /dev/usb and create some directories
over there. All paths have execute access all the way down
When I try to execute a program built on the USB drive, I get
"bash: /mnt/usb/jmccarty/hello: Permission denied".
Is this because it is a "removable medium"? I just checked, and
I get the same error from a floppy.
Earlier I wrote
>So why is permission denied? It's not just that it's removable
>medium. So is the floppy, but I can execute from there.
I must have been thinking about from my DOSEMU (which can and
does execute DOS images from both floppy and USB drives).

Cannot install FC3 or FC4
by Todd Cary
I had FC3 inslled on my Pentium III 667 box, however trying to update to
FC4 kept giving me problems, so on the advice of some, I removed the
particions and tried installing FC4. Same problems:
"no modul named constants_text"
My command line for the install was "linux ide=nodma skipddc" to take
care of no finding the CDROM and problems with the monitor.
Then I tried my FC3 install and got basically the same errors. Baffling!
Find a copy of RH 6 on my shelf, I tied that and it installed perfectly.
What am I missing? The box is old hardware (Pentium III with a 800 X
600 graphics card), but I was able to install FC 3 at one time with no
problems.
So, what has changed:
I installed a new KVM and the monitor is new, but they were all working
with FC3 (no switches in the install).

Under Linux a Linux driver is a good thing. Under Windows a Windows
driver is a good thing. I think wires are getting crossed here, since
the words quoted below are yours:

This is true. Part of the context is the discussion of ndiswrapper
that had gone on previously, and the fact that this thread is on Fedora-
list. If the Windows driver is broken on ndis you have little recourse,
because it might work perfectly under Windows. I suppose I failed to
see where the question had nothing related to Linux in it. If the
driver is broken on Windows of course you throw yourself on the
manufacturer's mercy and hope for the best. (And have you really tried
this? I'm here to tell you it doesn't always work.)
This thread started with someone asking what wireless cards would work
under FC4. While Windows-only cards will work under ndis there is
more mileage in picking something that has proper Linux support. I
don't see that point being under contention.

Installing Fedora Core 4 on a Apple Powerbook G4 1.6GHz
by Jonathan Hartje
All,
I'm trying to install FC4 on a new Apple Powerbook G4, 1.67 Ghz
laptop. After anaconda tries to launch X11, the screen goes blank and
seems to hand. Does anyone know how/if there is a text install kernel or
something similar to work around the issue?
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

[FC3] Gnometris?
by Tony Nelson
Where is the game Gnometris in FC3? I noticed that it has a configuration
file, and various other files, but, unlike other games, no Applications
menu entry or file in /usr/bin.
I'm just curious, but, if this is news, is it also missing on FC4? That
might be worth bugging.

Gnome superuser launcher
by Kenneth Porter
What's the correct way to add an item to a panel that will run as root? I'm
thinking that I want it to act like system configuration items, prompting
for a password before launching the app. (I want to add a launcher to
launch my favorite commercial editor for editing system config files.)
