Evolution 2.4
by Jamie Bohr 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Does any one know of a yum depot I can get Evolutoin 2.4 from for FC3/FC4? I have googled and did not find any thing. I don't want to have to complile it, too many dependencies. I found RPMs at www.linuxcompatible.org but there was way to many things I had to update inorder to install it. I am looking for a one-stop-shop to get to Evolution 2.4. Any guidence would be great. Thank you, Jamie

Help: lost LVM logical volumes on old disk after FC4 install
by Kevin Flynn 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

I'm seeking advice on how to recover old logical volumes that I stupidly lost after a FC4 install as follows: Initial conditions ---------------------- - Had old computer running FC4 - Old computer had one disk with two partitions: /boot and an LVM2 PV. - The PV belonged to volume group VolGroup00, and had three logical volumes: LogVol00 (root), LogVol01 (swap), LogVol02 (home) (and this PV was the only PV in the group). Then I went and did this -------------------------------- - Got new computer (with new disk) - Installed old disk in new computer, thinking I'll have easy access to my old data - Performed custom install of FC4 on new computer - During installer's manual partitioning phase, I defined a logical volume group on the *new* disk called VolGroup00, with three logical volumes: LogVol00 (root), LogVol01 (swap), LogVol02 (home) - I then noticed that the installer had properly found my *old* disk and the *old* PV. But the old PV was not associated to any LVM volume group (unlike those on the *new* disk, which were shown as belonging to VolGroup00). - Then I did something like: clicked "LVM", and created VolGroup01, which then appeared (in the partitioner GUI listing) next to the PV on my old disk. I thought: "OK, so my new FC installation will go on the new disk in VolGroup00, and my old data will still be on the old disk in VolGroup01" (I was careful to *not* check the "format" box). - I then finished the FC4 installation Now I can only find logical volumes on my new disk. My logical volumes on the old disk seem to have disappeared! Running vgscan and lvscan: - on *new* disk: finds all LVs properly - on *old* disk: finds only volume group VolGroup01, but no logical volumes! Running vgchange -ay doesn't yield anything different. Two questions: 1. What happened? Did I inadvertently overwrite my old volume group when I defined VolGroup01 in the installation GUI? If so, I'm surprised that the installer didn't warn that I was about to lose any predefined logical volumes! 2. Is there any way to recover the data on my old logical volumes? I have to believe that the data is still all there in principle. Thanks very much for any advice. Dave _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search. Find.

Re: mp3 plugin for rhythmbox
by Don Bedsole 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hi Umberto, I have also checked into installing the Fluendo plugin. I believe that to use this plugin you would also need to install the latest version of Gstreamer (GStreamer 0.10). If I'm wrong about this, someone please correct me. While I'm sure this is possible, if you are, like me, a relative novice with Linux, your best (or at least, less stressful) option may be to wait for Fedora Core 5 which I believe will include this latest version of GStreamer. This would mean waiting until the March 15th release date. After installing FC5 you might do better installing the plugin. Trying to do it now would probably entail dealing with some unresolved dependency issues. I also want to say "Hi" to the community. This is my first post to the list.

install palmon to wine
by Yuandan Zhang 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hi, I tried to install PalmOne Desktop (from PalmOne CD) for Palm Tungen 5 (T5)to wine. Once the cd inserted, it was automatically mounted at /mdeia/cdwriter. However, when I looked at this mount point dir, ls -lat /media/cdwriter, there was nothing there. df command shows it is about 250MB. How can I make it visiable or how to install PalmOne desktop to wine? Yuandan

Older FC4 kernels
by Roger Heflin 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hello, I have a need for one of the older FC4 updated kernels specifically a 2.6.13 variant. We had previously download part of it, but not all of it, and it is no longer on the web/ftp sites that I can find. The reason for needing it is that 2.6.11 fails to install (has certain issues with the hardware), and 2.6.14 fails with a certain vendor driver that we need to have work, but 2.6.13 will work, but I need the non-smp rpm so I can take the modules from that to regenerate an initrd for a network install. Any ideas where to get a older kernel version that is no longer on the download locations? Roger

IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad UltraNav on Fedora
by Uno Engborg 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Does anybody have any experience with the UltraNav pointing device on new Thinkpads. Many people say that it works, but the question is, what does that mean? The device consists of 5 buttons, a little rubber stick in the keyboard, and a more normal touch pad. -Will both the rubber stick and the touchpad area work at the same time? - Can I use the upper three buttons as a normal 3-button mouse, or will the middle mouse button be uses in conjunction with the rubber stick to control scrolling. (Or can I configure that somehow, I think I would have preferred it as 3 buggon mouse). - Is it hard to setup? What is the function out of the box without no special tweaking of /etc/X11/xorg.conf apart from what you get from the normal GUI fedora installer. - Can I use the two large mouse buttons (the ones closest to the user) to emulate a three button mouse? If it works will it need any kernel recompilations? Or does it work just out of the box? Not that kernel recompilation is that difficult, it is just that it is much easier just to be able to grab security updates from yum without doing anything special. Anything else I should be aware of? With respect to UltraNav or Thinkpads in general (most likely some R-series model). Thanks! /uno

mp3 plugin for rhythmbox
by umberto rossi 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Since my Rhythmbox does not read MP3s I have downloaded a plugin from Fluendo, because several websites said that was an easy solution, but now that I have the file (libgstflump3dec.so) I do not know where I should put it... the instructions in the install file that cames with the plugin do not seem to have had any real effect (they should create a folder and copy the file there, but it seems the folder has not been created, or I haven't been able to find it). Anyway, the Rythmbox can't read mp3s... Btw, these are the instructions I found in the install file: To install this GStreamer plug-in: - make sure you have a plugins directory in your home directory: mkdir -p $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins - copy this plug-in there: cp libgstflump3dec.so $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins - verify that it works: gst-inspect-0.10 flump3dec Can anybody help? ur
