FC4: which tool to dump ext3 file systems while keeping ext_attr and context information
by Robinson Tiemuqinke
Hi,
Any can help me choose a tool to backup ext3 file
systems on FC4? gtar, star? dump?
It's rumored that the gnu tar is not good at saving
extended file system information, while I need to save
not only file system's data, but also extented
information like ACL, context, etc.
Thanks a lot.

pocket pc & samba
by James Thorpe
Hi List,
Using my windows mobile 2k3 ppc I can access shares on my windows
machine with no problems - just connect to \\machine and up pops the
username/password screen which lets me connect. When I try to do the
same thing to the samba shares on my FC4 box (which I can access fine
using XP) I just get a box pop up saying "Cannot find the file '\\' (or
one of its components). Make sure the path and file name are correct
and all required libraries are available."
Anyone else got WM2K3 and got it to connect to a samba share - is this
an issue on my PPC or is there a setting in samba?
Thanks,
James.

Compiling gimp 2.3.7, configure can't find gtk2+2.8.12
by Colin Brace
I am trying to compile the latest development release of Gimp, v2.3.7
under FC4. In order to do so, I also had to compile a number of
dependencies, notably the latest gtk2+ source, v2.8.12. But I keep
getting this error message from configure:
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.8.8... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding GTK+ or finding the wrong
*** version of GTK+. If it is not finding GTK+, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
configure: error: Test for GTK+ failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.
Initially, I installed gtk2 2.8.12 in /usr/local, as is my preference
for newer, non-packaged versions, and when that didn't work, I removed
the latest official package, 2.6.10, with sudo rpm -e --nodeps gtk2,
and installed it in the default location, but that still didn't solve
the problem.
FWIW, I added /usr/local to /etc/ld.so.conf, and, yes, I run sudo
ldconfig after installing the libraries.
What perplexes me is that I was able to install gtk2 2.8.12 in
/usr/local and compile gimp 2.3.7 without this problem under Ubuntu
(Breezy), and without having to uninstall the older official releases
of gtk2 and gimp, so in theory it is possible.
Ideas anyone?

Your point is well taken. I stand well corrected.
The technical specifications of a typical 2016 battery can be found at:
http://www.kodak.com/eknec/documents/f9/0900688a8019d7f9/KCR2016.pdf
A couple of interesting things here. One is that your 100K resistor will
load the poor little critter down to about 2.8 volts at room temperature
(see the operating voltage verses load resistance curves) and a second is
that typical "skin resistance" I have measured often in the 100K range (it
varies from about 2M on very dry tough skin down to a couple of K if people
are sweating) and that cheap meters I have seen have "ohms per volt"
rateings of as low as 1K. So on the three volt scale the meter would load
3k making the measurement.
Thanks for the help!

xterm segfaults after upgrade
by Marnix
Hi,
after upgrading to the latest version of xterm (X.Org 6.8.2(208))
in FC4 it segfaults. I guess it must have something to do with these
latest changes:
* Tue Feb 14 2006 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias(a)redhat.com> - 208-1.FC4
- Upgrade to upstream version 208
- fix bug 180450: disallow Bell() generation before
'term' widget is realized
Does anyone have an idea what might be the problem?
Cheers,
Marnix

ntp solution ?
by gary
After a fresh reinstall (fc4) I have gone through the archives a couple
of times (theaimesgroup) rereading ntp posts, looking for the solution
to getting ntp up and running. A solution that worked great for me (in
the past) was to add a " -u " or a " -U " on line 80 something of some
obscure file. ( wish I'd recorded this one ). Does anyone recall the
details of this fix ?

PCI Multiple Domains
by Dan Koehler
I have been researching this topic for quite some time, and would
appreciate any help that members of this list can give. I have a
Gigabyte GA-2CEWH motherboard, with dual Opteron 244 processors on
it. I can install FC4 and FC5T2 and get them to boot fine, off of a
SATA drive connected to the NVIDIA SATA controller on the
motherboard. I also have an ARECA 1120 PCI-X RAID SATA controller
plugged into a PCI-X slot on this motherboard. I cannot get access
to the RAID array that is connected to this card, no matter what I
try. Yes, the card is installed properly, and its BIOS is
installed. I have successfully compiled the ARECA driver from ARECA,
and installed the module using insmod.
The problem seems to be because this motherboard has multiple PCI
domains. When I look at the dmesg output, I see that the latest
kernels detect all 3 PCI root buses on the motherboard, but then
there is a message of "PCI Multiple Domains Not Supported" after
their detection. After much research, it appeared that multiple PCI
domains were supported in the latest -mm patch to the stable kernel
from kernel.org, so I tried building a custom kernel with that patch
applied (So I now have kernel 2.6.16-rc4-mm1). I can boot the
kernel, but I get the same problem...multiple PCI domains are not
supported. Does anyone know the status of this? Is it possible to
use a PCI-X RAID card on a motherboard with multiple PCI domains, or
is this just not implemented yet? I have tried all of the other
recommendations that I have heard about, like using the following
kernel parameters (one at a time):
PCI=NOACPI => results in kernel panic
ACPI=OFF => Lots of timeout errors, can't boot
PCI=NOROUTEIRQ => Boots ok, but still can't access ARECA card
I cannot turn off the PCI bus partitioning in the BIOS for this
motherboard, so that is not an option. I have an nVidia GeForce
6600GT PCI Express video card, and that works fine (if that means
anything). If someone could provide me some insight into how to get
the ARECA RAID card accessible to Fedora Core 4 (or 5) I would
appreciate it greatly. If there are any more questions about my
setup, I can answer them...I know I just gave an overview of it here.

FC4 Printer Sharing
by Oliver Sampson
Howdy,
I'm having trouble getting my printer to share to my other Windows
computers on my network via Samba. The funny thing is that I had this
set up a coupla years ago on FC2, and it was a piece of cake. Now,
there's nothing but problems.
I turned on Samba and browsing for printers in Samba. My Windows
machines can now see my Linux machine via the Network Neighborhood, but
not the printer.
I turned on printer sharing in the system-config-printer utility, but
that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Here's the printer part of my smb.conf
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = yes
; writeable = no
printable = yes
public = yes
Any tips?
Thanks,

Try changing the group to Samba or something other than root.
