[OT] Weird DNS Problem
by David G. Miller (aka DaveAtFraud) 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

None of my internal boxes (three running FC6 plus my wife's W2K box) can resolve the address of my ISP's web site. Other internet sites (Google, Slashdot, weather.com, Yahoo, BBC, CNN, etc.) all work just fine. Also, I can get to my ISP's web site if I browse from my gateway/firewall/name server box which the internal boxes all point to for DNS. Finally, if I use the IP address for my ISP's web site from an internal system, the page displays as expected. This would seem to indicate that nothing is blocking their web site. The only thing I can find that's at all odd is dig returns: [root@fraud ~]# dig any mesanetworks.net ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> any mesanetworks.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 29964 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mesanetworks.net.

Note the absence of an IP address in the answer section. Their web site includes links to a different box for support services. These links resolve and work just fine. A dig of their support box yields: [root@fraud etc]# dig any mesasupport.net ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> any mesasupport.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 41449 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mesasupport.net.

So far, that's the only difference I can come up with. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. My ISP says everything is ducky on their side. I don't hit their web site very often but it used to work with no problems. Thanks, Dave -- Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. -- Ambrose Bierce

nvidia drivers won't build
by Rick Bilonick 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

I'm running fc6 on an Athlon 64 x86_64 system. I've tried installing the nvidia proprietary drivers from the nvidia web site. I've also tried installing the nvidia rpm. Neither work - I get a error trying to build the driver. The complete log file form installing the rpm is shown at the end. Immediately below is the part that says the kernel configuration is invalid: KBUILD_EXTMOD="/tmp/selfgz17924/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8776-pkg2/usr/src/n v" -f /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-x86_64/Makefile modules test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \ echo; \ echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are mis sing."; \ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it ."; \ echo; \ /bin/false) I'm not sure exactly how to do: Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

kino-0.9.3 released
by Gene Heskett 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Greetings; I'm wondering how long it will be till we might have an rpm of kino-0.9.3 available at livna? kino-0.9.2 has a bug in the text entry functions of the export screen, requireing I hit a key 5 to 50 times before it registers in the text entry box. Thats quite agravating... Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Differance in speed of Fedora vs Windoze in VMware
by Todd Simi 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hi, I'm running VMware with WinXP on top of Fedora 5. What I notice that seems very strange is that the XP virtual machine is much much more responsive that Gnome is in loading and running apps. Anyone know what might be going on, or what I should check? Thanks Todd

FC4 to FC5 upgrade via yum
by Jim Duda 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

I'm trying to upgrade from FC4 to FC5 via yum. I followed the instructions found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq I'm not able to get through the initial yum update. I've removed all the packages I can which had dependencies, and I'm down to the following list: Error: Missing Dependency: libneon.so.24 is needed by package librpm4.4 Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-headers >= 2.6.18 is needed by package audit-libs-python Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.12 is needed by package heartbeat Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.12(GNUTLS_1_2) is needed by package heartbeat Error: hal conflicts with kernel < 2.6.17 Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.12(GNUTLS_1_2) is needed by package stonith Error: Missing Dependency: libdbus-1.so.2 is needed by package notify-daemon Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.12 is needed by package stonith I don't have audit-libs-python, heartbeat, hal, or stonith. Any attempt to even use rpm -e <any of the four> results in "package not installed." I'm afraid to remove librpm4.4 as that will remove yum itself. I have a custom kernel 2.6.17.13, so I don't want to install another kernel unless I have too. This installation is loaded on a LTSP diskless boot environment, so, a fresh install is rather cumbersome, hence the yum upgrade attempt. Can anyone recommend a solution at to how to resolve this list of issues so I can do the yum update? Thanks, Jim

[FC6, Install Issues] Incorrect drive order in Anaconda
by Arthur Pemberton 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently install Fedora Core 6 on my desktop (Watson) I had intended to write up a review style report...but I got distracted and just enjoyed the whole installation process (I may have ADHD). So seeing as there only six (6) issues in my notes. I'll release them on to the list - a thread per issue. I apologize if anyone sees this as spam. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [FC6, Install Issues] Incorrect drive order in Anaconda I haven't noticed any other threads about this yet, so I will go ahead and report it here. During pre-install (when it came time to do partitioning) I noticed that Anaconda have gotten my hard drive order wrong. Fedora Core 5 (still on the machine at the time) had had and still had the order of my drives wrong, but I aborted the install just to go back to the BIOS and verify order since my BIOS allows me to specifiy order. Anaconda didn't have my drives in any particular (logical) order, where as my BIOS (and FC5 did). I checked irc://freenode/fedora and was told that this shouldn't be an issue. So I went along with installation (successfully). On first boot however, grub did _not_ have it's background image and both boot targets failed: My new Fedora Core 6 and a Windows install I keep around just in case. Apperently, Anaconda was the only thing that saw my drives in the order that it did. The actually fix was simple - since I new what to do - I just edited the grub lines, changing the target. Booted up, then edited grub.conf accordingly. I seem to remember Anaconda or Grub getting my boot target wrong for my Windows install last time I install FC5. This may be a serious issue for someone who didn't know how to do this. Peace -- Fedora Core 6 and proud
