by Jonathan Ryshpan 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Just installed FC5. All applications listed worked in FC4. All are invoked with a command like Foo sound-file.wav except amarok and audacity, which are run from their GUIs. The arts sound daemon is suspended. xmms: Produces no sound and emits the message ** WARNING **: alsa_free(): snd_pcm_start() failed: Broken pipe aplay: Produces no sound and emits no message amarok: Produces no sound and emits the message QObject::connect: Cannot connect QSignal::signal(const QVariant&) to (null)::(null) mplayer: Works fine audacity: Works fine realplay: Works fine Any ideas what's going on? Thanks - jon

Fedora Core 4 TFTP - Permission denied
by Jay Isaacs 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

This should be a relatively simple task buy I just can't get it working. TFTP get from the server work fine but a put just results in a permission denied. Any thought on this issue. Here are my current configuration items. drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nobody 4096 Mar 30 09:20 tftpboot [root@watcher /]# ll -r tftpboot/ total 8 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 30 08:41 ls.txt -rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody root 0 Mar 30 08:41 foo.txt [root@watcher /]# [root@watcher xinetd.d]# cat tftp service tftp { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s -c -v -v -v /tftpboot per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 flags = IPv4 } Jay Confidentiality Notice: This message including any attachments is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

file system performance
by Mark Haney 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

The perpetual question: which linux filesystem is preferred on large (>2TB) arrays? I'm thinking of just general all around performance as this fs is only going to store data. -- Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415

kmod-ntfs modules from livna updating, not installing..
by Dan Book 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

After updating the kernel, I am forced now to use the previous kernel again for a while, and I noticed that the NTFS driver didn't load...that's because kmod-ntfs for the new kernel _updated_ rather than installed alongside its fellow kernel's module. Since the kernel version is no longer part of the name (I guess in accordance with extras?), yum considers them the same package, and so deletes the old one. I'd like to keep all my kernel modules (for ntfs, nvidia, ati, madwifi, ndiswrapper, etc) for old kernels around, because some of them provide very useful functionality, and as in this case, I may not be able to use the new kernel for a while. -Dan

Environment Vars?
by Ali Helmy 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hey mates, In an installation of one program (Apache Tomcat) it instructed me to: Set an environment variable named JAVA_HOME to the pathname of the directory into which you installed the JRE... So how does one set an environment variable? Assuming I got java installed at /usr/java/ -- A. Helmy

ekiga SIP identifies ekiga.net as host when not registered there
by Michael Shurtleff 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

I am running ekiga on my workstation on a local network, and registered with asterisk on a PC which talks to both the local network and the internet. I don't have ekiga.net anywhere in my own configuration. However I am using the prefix 00 to identify calls going out to the worldwide PSTN. These calls seem to be tagged with ekiga.net as the SIP server, even though it is not. The result if I do not specifically specify @192.168.0.1 (asterisk from the LAN side) when I dial a 00 number without the server being specified, the number will ring and gets answered, and the remote party can hear me, but I can't hear them. When I look at the call record, I see that call address is 001xxxxxxxxxx(a)ekiga.net, even though ekiga is registered to my asterisk and not to ekiga.net, and the SIP proxy is specified as the asterisk address. If on the other hand I specify the asterisk server in the calle, as in 001xxxxxxxxxx(a)192.168.0.1, the call works fine. My question is where does ekiga get the server default ekiga.net from, and is there a way of getting it to behave more normally? I am using ekiga 2.0.1, with FC5. Thanks in advance for your help. -- Michael Shurtleff TKC Telecom Inc. +1 514 871 9060 x222 Public Key for mshurtleff(a)tkctele.com stored on http://www.keyserver.net

RE: 5. Fedora Core 4 TFTP - Permission denied (Jay Isaacs)
by Jay Isaacs 30 Mar '06

I've created the file with world writable permissions in the tftp directory. I can do a get I the file but a put from another PC or a tftp copy from a Cisco device will not let me replace the file. -----Original Message----- From: Leonid Flaks [mailto:flaks@bnl.gov] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 10:31 AM To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com Subject: Re:5. Fedora Core 4 TFTP - Permission denied (Jay Isaacs) Jay, tftp is not capable of creating new files. In order to put a file on a server you need to create an empty file first: touch newfile.txt Then you can put a real file with that name.

FC5 - usual (good) experience.
by Anil Kumar Sharma 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Like many, my experience with FC5 setup, went as smooth as it was with FC1, FC4. Of-course I was sufficiently pre-warned and learned with the help of this list, like never before. Most useful part of learning was the new feature of right click in package selection, it will survive if found popular. Otherwise I might have missed it like many would have. Adobe Reader, K3b, Java, Azureus, XMMS, Amarok, Xine, Mplayer, Alsa, etc., all working fine. Anyway, I had promised myself that I will write this post from FC5 but alas not to be. I could have, but not feeling 100% to do so, due to - Problem is with FireFox. It simply will not open any page on its own, but will open the same if had been just opened in Konqueror (Web Browser). I am trying various options to pinpoint what is happening but ... I think I need help. Any clues like SELinux (Tried all three modes), cookies, DNS ? ? ? or Paul's specialist tips on FireFox ... (I just bookmarked another one, thanks). -- Anil Kumar Shrama

FC5: "Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00010006..."
by Gordon Hay 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Trying to install FC5 from CD, first boot fails with message "Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00010006 00000060 c03a1e80" and this message is endlessly repeated. System is an old Compaq Proliant 2500, and FC4 runs fine. Because of the Proliant's "memory hole", FC4 needs boot parameters "memmap=exactmap mem=640k@0 mem=95m@1m" Has something changed in this area with FC5?

I only blame selinux because if I disable it then the thing works. The fglrx module is loaded, and comparing even Xorg.0.log is the same! (well, except for tiny differences in the 'SAREA' mapping?) But the window manager is broken with selinux, no borders on windows for example. How do I get some useful debug? Bill
