Python Zipimport Bitpim Problem
by Chris Spencer 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

A day after I install Bitpim (http://bitpim.sourceforge.net) I get this error when I try to run it: zipimport.ZipImportError: not a Zip file: '/usr/lib/bitpim-0.7.32/bp' Fatal Python error: cannot get zipimporter instance Aborted The only way I've found to fix it is to reinstall Bitpim, but the problem always returns a day later. I asked the Bitpim devs and they told me: "You can thank your operating system for this. Every evening it runs a task that goes around stripping files. In this bp is an ELF binary with a zip file appended. The automated strip processes is removing the zip file. I suggest finding the cron job that does this and stop it. (No, I don't know what it is exactly as I don't run Fedora). " Does anyone know what he's talking about? What cron job would I stop and how would I do that? This problem is immensely frustrating and makes Bitpim essentially unusable on Fedora. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Chris

How to get XFS to be properly supported in FC
by Aly Dharshi 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Hello Folks, I hope that you are well. I just wanted to find out how I could go about soliciting support for getting XFS into the Anaconda installer GUI and text FS selector drop down menu without having to type linux xfs at the prompt. I believe that there is interest in this going this way, so how would could I get this going. Cheers, Aly. -- Aly Dharshi aly.dharshi(a)telus.net "A good speech is like a good dress that's short enough to be interesting and long enough to cover the subject"

Bash bug?
by Zoltan Boszormenyi 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Hi, I am trying something like the following, with a configuration file containing a token and a directory in a line, depending on the tokens, certain actions should be taken later. Validating the configuration file whether all the required/optional tokens are in the file should go like this: -----a.txt---------------------- A directory1 B directory2 C directory3 -------------------------------- -----a.sh----------------------- #!/bin/bash HAS_A=0 HAS_B=0 HAS_C=0 cat a.txt | while read i ; do if [ "`echo $i | awk '{ print $1 }'`" = "A" ]; then HAS_A=1 fi if [ "`echo $i | awk '{ print $1 }'`" = "B" ]; then HAS_B=1 fi if [ "`echo $i | awk '{ print $1 }'`" = "C" ]; then HAS_C=1 fi echo "A: $HAS_A B: $HAS_B C: $HAS_C" done echo "Final A: $HAS_A B: $HAS_B C: $HAS_C" -------------------------------- Result is: -------------------------------- $ ./a.sh A: 1 B: 0 C: 0 A: 1 B: 1 C: 0 A: 1 B: 1 C: 1 Final A: 0 B: 0 C: 0 -------------------------------- It seems to be a bug to me, the envvars lose their values they gained in the loop. It's an ancient bug I must add, I just rechecked it and bash in RedHat 7.1 behaves the same. How can I preserve the variables' values? Putting "export" in front of every assignments doesn't help. Best regards, Zoltán Böszörményi

KNode - how to view recent postings?
by Timothy Murphy 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

I'm still trying to work out how to look up recent postings, say those in the last 24 hours. I've tried what seems the obvious way of creating a "24hr" filter, but this does not work. If anyone has managed to do this, could they explain how, please. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

RE: NEWBIE to yum and apt-get on FC4
by Edward.D.Kramer＠wellsfargo.com 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

I guess I should rephrase what Im looking for, I need some Repo's that will contain items like mplayer, Xine, or even better yet GNUPOD. Maybe I am missing something here with my commands: Yum install mplayer Returns back No Match for argument: mplayer Nothing to do I would expect this is me needing a new Repo to connect into that contains the application Im looking for.

KAddressBook - again
by Timothy Murphy 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

I'm still looking for the AddressBook handbook. I just have a vestigial version, with 3 more or less empty chapters. Someone posted a long index of the version they had. But they never explained what RPM it came with. I have the latest stable kdepim and kdepim-devel , and neither of them seem to have the full handbook. What exactly is the handbook file called? (Maybe I have it but have lost the link?) If you use KAddressBook and have the full handbook, please see if you can work out which RPM it comes from. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Knowing when a certain bug of gtk-qt-engine is corrected
by Paul Smith 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Dear All Some time ago, I reported here a bug on gtk-qt-engine, which I have meanwhile removed from my computer. Since gtk-qt-engine is not installed, I cannot know when a new (corrected) version of it is released. Is there some automatic way of being informed when the bug is corrected in a new version, other than yum list gtk-qt-engine ? Thanks in advance, Paul
