Re: C header files matching the kernel
by Evan Panagiotopoulos 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

The previous message did not have a Subject line. Sorry! Doing a uname -r returns a 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 When I enter the directory of the header files VMware says: The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel. Thanks.

OpenVRML plugin in extras buggy?
by Zoltan Boszormenyi 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi, I just noticed that there is openvrml in FE6. I quickly installed both the i386 and x86_64 packages but it doesn't appear on the about:plugins page in Firefox, no matter which version (32 or 64 bit) I try to run. There's no openvrml in FE6 bugzilla, so I report it here. # yum list "openvrml*" Installed Packages openvrml.i386 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml.x86_64 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-devel.i386 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-devel.x86_64 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-gl.x86_64 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-gl.i386 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-gl-devel.i386 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-gl-devel.x86_64 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-gtkplug.i386 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-gtkplug.x86_64 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-mozilla-plugin.x86_64 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed openvrml-mozilla-plugin.i386 0.16.1-4.fc6 installed I noticed this (same for the 64-bit lib): # ldd /usr/lib/libopenvrml.so.6.1.0 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0xf7368000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0xf7342000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xf732f000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xf7300000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xf727f000) libmozjs.so => not found ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0xf727c000) libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0xf7277000) libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0xf723f000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7228000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7223000) libboost_thread.so.2 => /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.2 (0xf7218000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf712c000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf7105000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf6fc8000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf6fbc000) libexpat.so.0 => /lib/libexpat.so.0 (0xf6f9a000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xf6f91000) I tried this: # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.8 ldd /usr/lib/libopenvrml.so.6.1.0 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0xf7368000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0xf7342000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xf732f000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xf7300000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xf727f000) libmozjs.so => /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.8/libmozjs.so (0xf71d9000) libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0xf71d6000) libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0xf71d1000) libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0xf7199000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7182000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf717d000) libboost_thread.so.2 => /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.2 (0xf7172000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf7086000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf705f000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf6f22000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf6f16000) libexpat.so.0 => /lib/libexpat.so.0 (0xf6ef4000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xf6eeb000) and I have put these lines into the /usr/bin/firefox script: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MOZ_DIST_BIN" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH but no success. On the other hand, when I try to compile openvrml-0.16.1 (which is a virtue in itself, as compilation requires 1.6+ GB(!) on some source files) it announces itself correctly under Firefox. Is there a known fix for this? Best regards, Zoltán Böszörményi

Colorizing tail
by Ashley M. Kirchner 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

I keep a running tail of several weblogs on my console: tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log.site1 -f /var/log/httpd/access_log.site2 -f /var/log/httpd ...etc., etc. Which then displays on the console as: ==> /var/log/httpd/access_log.site1 <== ... ... ... ==> /var/log/httpd/access_log.site2 <== ... ... ... etc., etc. I'm wondering if there's a way to colorize that per log (as opposed to per matched string.) Right now when I look at the console, I have to sometimes scroll up to find the ==> <== line to figure out which log I'm looking at, whereas if it's colored it's easy (easier?) to tell. -- A

Gnome-mail-notification Summary position ??
by Bill Case 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hi; I like and use the Gnome-mail-notification in my taskbar. However I have never been able to get it to do three things. 1) In preferences I gives me the option of choosing the position of the Summary popup. I have choosen 'Top Right'. It never pops up on the top right. It seems to be almost at random. It certainly has a keen sense of where on my screen I am currently working -- and opens there. For reasons of habit, I seldom work on the Top Right (others may have other dead spaces in their viewing range) so I want the Summary to open 'on top' in the 'top right' hand corner of my screen. 2) On random occasions the width of the Summary is far greater ( more than double ) the warranted size from the content of the messages. 3) On the Summary and the Tool Tip features I would like to have more preferences control over the display of 'Mailbox:' (alias should be availabe rather than the long Mail Box name). 'From:', 'Subject:' and 'Sent:' By the way, 'Display Test Popup;' always displays on the Top Left even if another postion was chosen. The test is not much use if users do not have a greater choice of what and where the test is displayed. I am using FC6 and Gnome 2.16.0 -- Regards Bill

Big Problems with Session Manager ??
by Bill Case 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hi; Before I submit a series of bugs to bugzilla, I would like to check if others are having the same problems. Specifically with Gnome Sessions Manager: Documentation: The session manager does not match the help documents. 1) "Automatically save changes to session: .... If you do not select this option, when you end your session the Logout Confirmation dialog displays a Save current setup option." This does not exist on the log out dialogue even though it used to. Logically it might not be any longer necessary, but, when nothing else is working the way it is expected to, then it would be reassuring if not down right useful to save the current setup option. 2) "Sessions: ... When you log in on GDM, you choose a session. When you choose a session, you can select which of the multiple sessions to use." No 'named' sessions appear on GDM in the sessions box. Under the Current Session tab: 3) "Order: ... To specify the startup order of an application, select the application in the table. Use the Order spin box to specify the startup order value." I see no discernible change in order whether setting up the 'default' session or a 'named' session. 4) "Trash: Does not start when you start a GNOME session." Yes it does. The trashcan symbol is ignored. 5) "Settings: Starts automatically when you start a session. Applications with this style usually have a low startup order, and store your configuration settings for GNOME and session-managed applications." All programs start with some preset configuration no matter what I try. I particularly wanted to set my own size, postion, etc. in some programs like Evolution, Xchat-Gnome and others. This preset remains active in both a 'default' session and a 'named' session. 6) "Remove: Click on the Remove button to delete the selected application from the list. The application is removed from the session manager, and closed. If you save the session after doing this any deleted applications will not start the next time you start a session." Not true. I have removed in the Current Session many programs such as: Nautilus, Epiphany, and Sessions Manager. They all reapper. At logon nautilus opens in my home directory, epipany over lays it and sessions manager is on top. Under the Startup Programs tab: 7) "Additional startup programs: ... If you specify more than one startup application, use the Priority spin box to specify the startup order of the each application. The startup order is the order in which you want the startup applications to start." There is no spin box to set priorities. 8) "To edit a startup application, select the startup application, then click on the Edit button. The Edit Startup Program dialog is displayed. Use the dialog to modify the command and the startup order for the startup application." The start up dialogue starts filled with all same programs as the Current Session Tab. Most have greyed out edit and delete buttons. Most programs have an '--sm-disable' extension. It is confusing to know what the enable/disable button does in the face of such an extension. Does it enable or does it disable? Command options do not work in application commands in the session manager. Notecase jots.ncd on the command line and in a launcher opens the notecase program with the jots.ncd file showing. The same command will not select any file when opening a session. Besides the documentation problems, an iconfied program will not start iconified; when multiple programs are started in a worksheet they all start huddled in the upper left corner. Most annoying, there seems to be this preset configuration, not to be confused with the 'default' session, that I am unable to undo no matter what I try or how many hours I spent on it. It used to work for me in FC3, FC4 and FC5. The net effect is that I have no sessions management, and, I can't work the way I am used to. If other people are facing the same dilemmas, please respond. I will submit the bugs, if they are bugs. I've checked bugzilla for similar problems and so far I am the only one with a complaint. -- Regards Bill

Just Checking re: ATI Radeon Video drivers ??
by Bill Case 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hi; I have had a struggle getting the fglrx driver installed. An ATI button has appeared on my menu. Now I am wondering if everything is installed correctly. The Button is titled: "ATI Display Settings" Tool tip: "Utility to configure fglrx driver". It opens a dialogue which is mainly empty. It says "Driver does not provide the FireGL X11 extensions. Panel components will operate only partially. Renderer: Mesa DRI 20060815 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE2 TGL" Is there more drivers to add? Is the fglrx being updated? Is Xorg creating a non-proprietary driver to replace fglrx that will have all the necessary components? Should I fuss and fume to fix something or just wait until it is a complete package? Will a complete package include AIGLX capability? etc? etc? If anybody knows or at least has an opinion, would they please give me a short response so I don't have extend what has become for me a major project, ie installing a ATI Radeon 9600 video card and all its drivers. -- Regards Bill

C header files matching the kernel
by Evan Panagiotopoulos 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

I am installing VMware and it is asking for the location of the directory of C header files that match the running kernel. I searched and found the directory: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2868.fc6-i586/include/linux. There is another directory with a little different version: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i586/include/linux. I am just wondering if the .h files are the header VMware is asking for? Thanks,

Re: FC6 & LTSP
by Chris Mohler 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Other things to try: Check selinux - put into permissive and see if you can then login. Flush firewall (iptables -F) - obviously not a long-term solution, but... Put 'SCREEN_02 = shell' in the lts.conf see if you can do a CLI mount (CRTL-ALT-F2 to get to the shell) of the NFS home directory - perhaps you'll get a more verbose message. That's all I can think of - good luck! Chris

segfaults with apt-get update
by Nigel Henry 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Sorry about this. This I think is the first time ever I'd had a problem with apt. tried to open synaptic as root, and it opened, and about 3 secs later crashed. then tried an apt-get update, which normally takes about 30 mins on dialup. It got as far as the core/updates/5/i386/ filelists.xml , which is the last to be dl'd. I don't know how far it got, but then saw a newline. Segmentation faultsts... 0% There was an update for apt on 26 Nov, but I have run apt-get update, and got further updates 2 times after the update to apt. Is it likely that I need to rebuild the rpmdb, and if so, would someone kindly give me the necessary incantations to run on the command line. Thanks. Nigel.
