can't install vlc via yum
by James Pifer
I did a yum update last night (on FC4) but it was failing some
dependencies for vlc. So I yum removed vlc and after manually installing
libquicktime-devel, was then able to do the update. But now I can't
reinstall vlc. I get the error below. Is there any way to resolve this?
How come it does not find these dependencies?
Thanks,
James

OT: Email signing
by Arthur Pemberton
Hey guys, this is somewhat offtopic, but I can't think of a better place to
ask . . .
Could someone briefly fill me in on the if, why and how of email signing (I
do not mean signatures). I am sure I can google the how, but I would like
opions and experiences.
Thank you.

can't login as root at the graphical login prompt
by Mohammed El-Afifi
Hi All,
I've installed the fedora core 4, recently. I can login as a normal user but when I try to login as root at the graphical login prompt, I receive the error message "Root login is not allowed.". May I be missing some package(s) or some configuration?

FC4 - SERIOUS problem with GRUB. How can I solve this?
by Hoffmann
Hi All:
In order to try to solve my previous problem (see the
posting below), I decided to delete my Fedora
partition by using the program Partition Magic. My
goal was after deleting the linux partition, reformat
it, and reinstall Fedora. However, after the deleting
process (and rebooting it to Windows), all I got was a
GRUB propmt:
grub>_
This way, I cannot go back to Windows in order to
recreate the linux partition. I also cannot either
reinstall Fedora or restore Windows as it was when I
bought the machine.
Could anyone, please, let me know how could I solve
this issue?
Thanks!
Hoffmann

Hello:
I realized that since the beginning of the week,
during the booting process, I have got the follow
error:
/1. Contains a file system with errors, check forced.
In the majority of the times, after that error, the
system restarts normally. However, one day, it didn't
work, and I needed to cut the power off manually.
What does that error mean? Should I reinstall Fedora,
just in case?
Thanks!
Hoffmann

I've got a question about how SELinux works underneath. I'm doing a lot
of speculating based on the few things I think I know, so correct me
when I'm wrong.
When SpamAssassin wants to get the user information, it probably uses a
system call that is controlled through /etc/nsswitch.conf (I've seen the
call before, but can't think of it off the top of my head). That in turn
would connect to my LDAP server and authenticate the user and download
its profile information. The nsswitch libraries would be in
SpamAssassin's process space (if I understand linux programming
correctly), so that would mean that if SpamAssassin is under an SELinux
context, then the nsswitch libraries would be too. Would this be where
I'm getting denied messages for ldap_port_t messages from?
If I've thought this through correctly and this is a problem, would
somebody tell me so that I can post a bugzilla report? I'll search
bugzilla later to make sure that it's not already in there (I've got to
go to school so I don't really have time to do it right now).
Thanks to all those who've helped!

Hi,
i incidentally yum remove -ed bluez-pin and bluez-utils. when
reinstallation, got dependency errors, (see below). my system is update FC4.
I looked at, the required versions of dbus and dbus-glib (0.22-10) is older
that the current installed ones (0.33-3). How to get this fix?

YUM error handling
by Tim
It strike me that if "yum" gets a 404 HTTP error when trying to get a
repo list from a mirror, it oughtn't to spew out masses of gibberish at
the user unless it was being deliberately run in some verbose/debugging
mode. It ought to just change to another mirror, at that point, with a
short sensible explanation to the user watching the output. Likewise
for forbidden/denied HTTP errors.
e.g. HTTP access error (404), trying another mirror.
At the moment it blithely ignores error messages, and attempts to parse
whatever's presented along with the error code as if it were the repo
XML data file. I imagine that there's some potential for a bigger
problem, than just seeing annoying text scroll past, if it pays no
attention to error messages from the web server.

Rsync backup to tar or gzip archive
by Julian Underwood
Hello List,
I am wanting to backup my Linux machine at work using Rsync. I have a
mounted SMB share which it will be backing up to. I would like to rsync
"into" an archive, so the backup is all in one file. I've done some
googling and haven't found a real clear way to do an rsync backup into
either a tar or gzip archive.
Does anyone have a couple of one-liners or links they could recommend?
Thanks.
