Has anyone gotten Palm T3 to work in bluetooth mode?
by Thomas Taylor 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi All: Has anyone on this list gotten bluetooth to work with a Palm Tungsten T3 yet? I haven't tried it yet (don't have a bluetooth dongle yet) but wonder if there are any special requirements. I'm running FC4 with the 1398, 1447 and 1456 kernels on the disk. Would I need to recompile one of these kernels? I'm thinking that since the usb connection seems to be somewhat temperamental, I would use bluetooth instead if that is possible. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Taylor Linux user #263467 Federal Way, WA Iraq war: 1,921 and counting

Are kernel patch files available?
by Nick Bishop 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

I am running an FC3 system, with $ uname -r 2.6.9-1.667 Now, I have downloaded and compiled the vanilla 2.6.9 Kernel source from kernel.org. The question is ... can I get a source patch file that upgrades from 2.6.9 ---> 2.6.9-1.667? I see the SRPMS directory with Fedora's kernel source RPM, but I am reluctant to download that through my modem as well. The reason I am wanting this is there seems to be a problem with no SElinux context labels within the /dev/shm & /dev/pts pseudo file-trees, causing messages and failures to be spat out at me when booting the kernel.org kernel. Bear in mind that I've also unpacked the initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img file, replaced the /lib/*.ko files, and repacked it to a different file, and altered grub.conf for all the above, and ensured my modules got installed to a different /lib/modules tree. [the good news is that it continues and even starts the X server allowing me to work "normally"].

FC4 install disks
by Alan E. Davis 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

I just had a bizaare experience with FC4 install disks on a venerable desktop machine with G450 video card, and an old Radius PrecisionColor Display/17. The disks didn't detect the monitor, but did detect the card. Two monitors, another one, a noname 17". Both monitors acted flakey: they were as if coated w/ jello, and the mouse messed up the jello. The same disks worked ok on a gateway laptop on which I burned these disks. Alan Davis

What is java-1.4.2-gcj-compat?
by Steven Pasternak 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi! I saw somewhere that a package of the name 'java-1.4.2-gcj-compat'. OpenOffice supports it, but I thought that due to some licences from Sun, java couldn't be distributed except directly from Sun, yet here it is. How is that?

In FC4, the F10 key is bound to bring up the menubar. How do I get rid of this? I use MC a lot and need the F10 key. lol

network tools and wireless configuration
by korgull 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi, I'm trying to make a wireless connection using wpa-psk but it seems none of the available tools in FC4 supports this. They support WEP but unfortunately my AP doesn't work well with it. Is there any simple tool available which I can use to set the SSID and a wpa-psk key ? Regards, Marcel

fc4 kernel build for diskless slave nodes
by Tim Prendergast 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi, I'm building a kernel for a diskless slave node as part of a beowulf cluster I'm working on. I've stripped the kernel down a bit by removing things that I know I won't need, but I'm running into an issue during the compile. The build appears to bomb out when building the diskdump block device... Important notes: Kernel is kernel-2.6.11 from kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm I did the standard source install -- rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm rpmbuild -bp --target=noarch /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec mv /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.11 /usr/src/kernels/kernel-2.6.11 I ran through make menuconfig and modified the config as needed for my systems. The changes I made are listed below: general --> check optimize for size loadable module support --> uncheck all processor type and features --> processor family --> change to p4/xeon processor type and features --> uncheck toshiba & dell laptop support power management options --> uncheck power management support power management options --> cpu frequency scaling --> uncheck cpu frequency scaling Device Drivers --> Block Devices --> uncheck Normal Floppy Disk Support and Parallel Port IDE Device Support Device Drivers --> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support --> uncheck Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support Device Drivers --> Multi Device Support (RAID and LVM) --> uncheck Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) I'm getting an error when I do 'make bzImage' as follows: CC drivers/block/diskdump.o drivers/block/diskdump.c: In function 'start_disk_dump': drivers/block/diskdump.c:491: error: '__this_module' undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/block/diskdump.c:491: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once drivers/block/diskdump.c:491: error: for each function it appears in.) drivers/block/diskdump.c:491: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c:491: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c: In function 'register_disk_dump_device': drivers/block/diskdump.c:947: error: '__this_module' undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/block/diskdump.c:947: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c:947: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c: In function 'unregister_disk_dump_device': drivers/block/diskdump.c:959: error: '__this_module' undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/block/diskdump.c:959: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c:959: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c: In function 'register_disk_dump_type': drivers/block/diskdump.c:980: error: '__this_module' undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/block/diskdump.c:980: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c:980: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c: In function 'unregister_disk_dump_type': drivers/block/diskdump.c:992: error: '__this_module' undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/block/diskdump.c:992: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c:992: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c: In function 'init_diskdump': drivers/block/diskdump.c:1090: error: '__this_module' undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/block/diskdump.c:1090: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/block/diskdump.c:1090: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type make[2]: *** [drivers/block/diskdump.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [drivers/block] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 My .config and build log are located at www.haxorwear.com/buildinfo/. Any help would be much appreciated. I don't think anything is disabled that would affect this, but I also cannot find any patches online or references to this particular error condition for this diskdump.c sourcefile. Hopefully someone else has run into this previously and might shed some insight into my situation. -Tim

kernel 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 problems
by Josh Coffman 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi all, I'm having problems since updating the kernel to kernel 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 and updating firefox to 1.0.7. Yesterday, I updated my system using yumex. Symptoms: - Firefox won't completely render any pages. IT will show partials like some table border. The URL isn't even visible although I can see the text selection highlight when I ctrl+L. - Epiphany won't start - GDM login reports a config error and shows a fall-back login screen, but users can login. Repos I used for the update: - fedora base - fedora updates-released - fedora extras - I was thinking I used dag also, but I see it is not enabled. I tried changing the GDM theme to the default, but still have the same problem. For firefox, I tried remove/re-install/downgrade/update and it never got better. I don't know where to begin, so help is appreciated. Thanks, -j __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
