Nvidia 76.76 and FC4 64bit 2.6.12 398

by "Cédric MARCOUX (sprimont)"

Hi all! I'm currently losing my hair! I was using FC4 32Bit and Nvidia Driver 76.76 very nicely. Using the last kernel 2.6.12 (398) Today, I have decided to install on my computer a Intel Pentium 4 with 64bits instructions (EMT64) In this way, I have reinstall FC4 64Bi. I have done the same update as my old 32Bit version (kernel 398, gcc, aso...) I have install on the same way the Nvidia Driver 76.76, modify my xorg.conf as well. Now, X does not start and computer completly hang when starting Gnome. I have try livna driver => same problem I have try selinux=0 on startup => same problem So I wonder if someone have the same problem and if there is any solutions/trick? My configuration is: P4 3Ghz EMT64 Motherboard ASUS P5P800 Bios 1011 VGA ASUS GForce 6800 FC4 64bit with last yum -y update completly finished I think if there is no solution that i will come back to 32bit Thanks for your help. Regards Cédric MARCOUX

Need help to get mod_perl working

by Clive Anderson

I runing Fedora Core 3 and I cannot get mod_perl to work. rpm -q mod_perl returns mod_perl-1.99_16-3 rpm -q httpd returns htthttpd-2.0.52-3.1 So both Apache and mod_perl are installed. The httpd.conf file includes the conf file for mod_perl so the LoadModule per_module modules/mod_perl.so setup is O.K. when I check if mod_perl is running with lynx -head -dump http://localhost I get: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 04:17:18 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora) Last-Modified: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 22:47:45 GMT ETag: "3a9733-d2e-bf7d8640" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 3374 Connection: close Which does not show mod_perl running. What do I need to do get this to work? Clive... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Best Update Method

by CHAT KHODA

Hi Friends, I am just trying to update a WEB server but I face a problem , seems general! Normally when you try to use YUM (We are using Core2), you will receive a very old offer of update from RedHat web site and when we try to install RPMs for other Cores , we receive many dependecy errors.(For instant the best offer of YUM for FC2 trying to update Apache is 2.0.51 and MySQL 3... ! . We receive other error messages when we try to use sources of these programs. So what is thebest solution to keep these packages as up to date as possible? No need to say that we can not upgrade to Core4 easily. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

I'm looking to setup a file server at home and seeking advice bef ore I buy.

by Paul Crossman

I posted a thread on this to FedoraForum, but got only one response whom I have to email back with some questions on their post, but I thought others on the mailing list might have some opinions on this issue also. Here's my original message from the forum. I look forward to some good discussion on this. ========================================== I'm about to reuse some old hardware to create a sizable RAID storage server at home to get all the data I care about in one place and protected. The hardware I'm going to use is an old P3 500MHz system I have which has an A-Bit BE6 motherboard and 256 MB of RAM in it. If I don't have to replace the motherboard that would be great, but if I must, I must. I'm planning on running FC3 or FC4 on this box using two 40GB IDE drives which will be software RAID1. Also, I will be upgrading the RAM to 512MB. I will be purchasing 5 300GB Seagate SATA hard disks (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148064) to be housed in an AIC 5 bay hot swap disk chassis (http://www.excaliberpc.com/AIC_AC_5SATA_BR-SS35_HOT-SWAP_/partinfo-id-55412 6.html). Please keep in mind the picture shown is in the wrong position. The chassis is positioned so that the drives are seated vertically in the case. I'll also be sliding a fan under the chassis in the 5.25" slot for additional cooling of the drives, and another fan to draw in air at the bottom front of the computer case. (The one reply I received in the forums stated that I would have better luck with these Western Digital drives (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144394). Any thoughts on this drive versus the Seagate drives. I was going to go with Seagate since I've been having good luck with them and they offer a 5 year warranty as opposed to the 3 years that Western Digital offers. I'd also like some recommendations on a good SATA RAID controller to use here. I was going to use the 3ware 9500S 8 port controller, but it's PCI64 and I don't think the A-Bit motherboard supports that, but if I have to get a new Motherboard, then so be it. Can someone recommend a good SATA RAID controller that supports RAID 0/1/10/5/JBOD and has full, on the fly, hot swap drive support? I also know that I'm going to need a new power supply to handle 7 disk drives, so I'll be replacing the 200W unit with 400W one. Will this fry my motherboard at all, or does it not matter? (The one reply to my post recommended this Thermaltake 480W unit --> (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153007) I'm interested in people's thoughts on the scheme as a whole and thoughts on the SATA controller card. If you've actually done something like this, I'm very interested in your thoughts and comments on your experience the specs of what you did. Hey, I'm interested in any thoughts on this at all. Comments on the components I'm planning on using, alternatives you might think are better, anything. The only components I'm really stuck on are the drives as the Seagate SATA drives are pretty quiet. I will be keeping the server in an unoccupied room, but I don't want to build a jet engine that I can hear thoughout the house either. Thanks, Paul C.

burn DVDR faster than 1.30x

by Peter Magnusson

I cant burn DVDR's faster than 1.30x or something like that. cdrecord says: cdrecord: DMA speed too slow (OK for 9x). Cannot write at speed 16x. hdparm says: /dev/cdwriter: IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 16 (on) I dont understand why it is like this. DMA, 32-bit is on. Its using a Promise TX2 UDMA/133 card. Should be enough. LG GSA-4120B is the burner model. ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfc00-0xfc07, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfc08-0xfc0f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA ide2: BM-DMA at 0xdf60-0xdf67, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio ide3: BM-DMA at 0xdf68-0xdf6f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio hda: 240121728 s (122942 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63,UDMA(100) hdb: 240121728 s (122942 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63,UDMA(100) hdc: 240121728 s (122942 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63,UDMA(33) hdd: 240121728 s (122942 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63,UDMA(33) hdf: 320173056 s (163928 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=19929/255/63,UDMA(133) hdg: 398297088 s (203928 MB) w/7936KiB Cache, CHS=24792/255/63,UDMA(133) The burner is on hde. I use FC4 (2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp). Anyone got a idea?

recompile php-mysql

by Eric Wagar

I see that there is source for php4, which I would assume would be all of php, including the mysql so. Since the mysql portion is broken up and provided as php-mysql in Fedora releases, how do I go about recompiling the php-mysql for use with MySQL 4/4.1? The one included < FC4 is compiled for MySQL 3.23. I use MySQL 4.1, so I need an updated php-mysql to properly work with the DB. Thanks eric
