RE: pdf files don't display in mozilla and firefox
by Macintyre, Ross A
I take it you mean mozplugger, and not moplugger? And this site is down
by the way.
The thing is when I look at the plugins installed (Help/About Plug-ins)
it tells me that mozplugger 1.7.3 is there, so what good is it going to
be to check this website.
Or are you saying that I should install the latest mozplugger.
I have a lot of people relying on getting this right so I don't want to
mess up.
What I do notice is that looking at the plugins it suggests that
mozplugger already handles pdf files AND Adobe Reader 7.0 handles them
too!
So (as a newbie to mozplugger) I thought I'd try and see if editing
/etc/mozpluggerrc and commenting out the pdf entries would change things
and let the Adobe Reader 7.0 ones work instead. But the pdf mozplugger
entries are still there! This didn't make any difference.
What I haven't said is that at one time I tried running
/usr/lib/acroread/Browser/install_browser_plugin and it did work!
I then changed something and now it doesn't.
I have a lab of 100 machines and they are all configured the same way. I
thought I could figure out what
/usr/lib/acroread/Browser/install_browser_plugin did and then copy it
round all the machines but I haven't figured it out yet.
When this site comes on-line again I will have a look.
Ross

Acroread is also installed.

Anyone any ideas?

If the original poster unmounted before removing the player that sounds like
a bug in the graphical unmount front-end...
Try running "sync" before unmounting/removing the drive.

Netgear GA311 (RealTek 8169 chipset) PCI network card and fc5
by Greg Frith
Hi,
I'm setting up a reasonably old PC with FC5 to use primarily as a
test server for web development. A few days ago i installed FC5 and
spent 2 days trying to configure a wireless network card. Having
finally compiled the kernel with the additional drivers for the
wireless card i got it up and running and everything was fine. The
box was hidden away in a corner (where my partner couldn't see it)
and all was good. This morning however the hard disk went in the
machine, so i had to purchase a new disk and start all over again.
So my present situation: Not wanting to go through the pane of
setting up a wireless card again, i thought I'd save myself a great
deal of hassle and put a standard wired ethernet card in. So i did,
a Netgear GA311 which i believe uses the Realtek 8169 chip set. I'd
already checked online and everyone reported this card as working
hassle free under fedora. But not for me. On boot I see the message:
r8169 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialisation
I get the same message if i do ifup eth0. ifconfig -a does not list
eth0.
Using the GUI tool Network Manager the device can be seen under
hardware.
So the network card not working is the first problem, any thoughts
gratefully received.
In order to try and fix this i have downloaded linux drivers from the
Realtek site. To install i need the kernel source, so i also
downloaded kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm. When i try to
install this rpm i get:
-> rpm -Uvh kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks, Greg.

need FSCK help!
by Claude Jones
I'm getting the following in my system log:
Oct 2 12:43:53 tehogee smartd[2509]: Device: /dev/sda, 1
Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
Oct 2 12:43:53 tehogee smartd[2509]: Device: /dev/sda, 1 Offline
uncorrectable sectors
many, many, of them
/dev/sda contains my /boot and / mounts
/home is mounted on a separate drive
How can /dev/sda be "Offline" since this is the machine I'm typing
this message on???
Is FSCK the right tool for this? If so, I can't figure out how to
run it on /dev/sda since, if I read correctly, the mount has to
be unmounted - presumably, I need to do this from a rescue disk?
I've searched on this in the past, but was never able to find a
good explanation of how it's donw. If someone can give me one, or
point to a good document, I would be grateful

Gdm won't start after updates on FC5
by Nigel Henry
Problems today booting up FC5, after I did 873MB of updates on a fresh install
of FC5. Thankfully I havn't done the latest updates for the other 2 FC5
installs.
The updates installed ok, but at the end of installing them, there was a
message about errors during the transaction (this was with apt, that I always
use), but before I got around to sending this message to the list, I suffered
a power outage. The machine booted up ok when the power came back on, but
there seemed to be a bit more configuration being done during the bootup.
Today when I booted up FC5, and there was nothing odd in the bootup text, but
next I get a quick look at the init 3 login as usual, but after that,
nothing, just a black screen. Mouse pointer moves ok, and has it's blue
rotating halo showing that it's waiting for something to happen, and the
first time I left it in that state for about 40mins, but nothing.
ctrl+alt+backspace exits the X server, and I get a bit of text on the screen,
then X restarts, but still no Gdm. The 2 bits of output below might indicate
something to someone.
This one is from /var/log/messages, and appears to be after I had run the
ctrl+alt+backspace command.
Oct 1 12:00:36 localhost kernel: ide0: reset: success
Oct 1 12:05:34 localhost gdm[2259]:
gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
And this one is from /var/log/gdm, and there are 5 logs like this, all the
same from today.

I can bootup into init3 ok, and startX takes me directly into Gnome, which
doesn't help much, as I use KDE.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what's gone wrong with Gdm since the
updates? Gdm is still installed, and verified by rpm -q -a gdm, and shows
version -2.14.9-1
