5.1 Support
by Michael Offermann 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hello, I have some trouble with my Soundcard. It's a Realtek ALC850 device on a Asus A8N-SLI Premium Mainboard (Chipset: nVidia® nForce4 SLI MCP). Stereo Mode does work pretty, but for me it's not possilbe, or lets better say, I don't know how to activate the 5.1 Support. According to this, the sound is realy terrible, because, the low frequencies (the bass) are not supportet by my tweakers, so they crack a lot. Does anybody know of this problem and can tell me the solution? -- Gruß | E-Mail: offermann.michael(a)freenet.de Michael Offermann |

Wired Ethernet Connection at Hotel - DNS
by Rick Bilonick 01 May '06

01 May '06

Re my previous message, it appears the need for frequent re-activation of the connection is due to just losing the DNS information. I can stay connected while using ssh or telnet. But anything requiring names instead of ip's stops after a few minutes. Rick B.

Wired Ethernet Connection at Hotel
by Rick Bilonick 01 May '06

01 May '06

I'm using FC4 on a Dell Inspiron 2200 and connecting through the wired ethernet port. I connect all the time through this port at work and also connect wirelessly without problem. When I try to connect using the wired ethernet port using eth0 at a hotel using the gui interface, it connects sort of but I cannot view web pages or do much. I can see that I'm assigned an ip (I'm using dhcp) and I can guess at the gateway ip and the dns ip. If I create a route to the gateway (either using the route command or using the network gui) and enter the dns ip, I can then surf web pages, use ssh, etc. The only problem is I have to re-activate the connection frequently. Any idea on why using dhcp doesn't work more automatically and more easily and why I keep losing the connection? I've run into this problem before with this laptop at other hotels that used wired ethernet. Wireless dhcp works as expected. Rick B.

Need PDF version of RPM Guide.
by Steve Juranich 01 May '06

01 May '06

I'd like to have a PDF version of the RPM Guide (currently posted at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/drafts/rpm-guide-en/) I tried following the directions for getting the draft documentation posted here: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/. After successfully checking out the docs-common and the rpm-guide modules, I cd'ed into the proper directory, typed `make', and this is what I got: barbet (rpm-guide)$ make grep: en/rpm-guide.xml: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/local/src/fedora/rpm-guide/rpm-info.xml', needed by `en/fdp-info.xml'. Stop. Is this rpm-info.xml not included in the repository by accident? Did I do something wrong? Thanks a bunch. -- Steve Juranich Tucson, AZ USA

wireless and usb mouse issues
by Stephen Esquibel 01 May '06

01 May '06

Here's the issue: I have been trying to get my wireless PCI card working under network manager. I have compiled a custom kernel from linuxant FC5-2096-stk16 (I pulled out support for other processors and added the default NTFS support). I compiled ndiswrapper against that source and installed the module and the driver (rt61.ko). Since then, I can see the card, and I can scan for networks. I can see my network, which I have used WEP and MAC filtering. When I try to connect, It cannot determine an IP address. On top of that when it starts to attempt the connection, I get a system message telling me that the kernel is "Disabling IRQ #9" and my usb mouse starts moving really slow. What can I do to fix both the wireless and the IRQ conflict?

Beagle, what can I do with it?
by Bob Goodwin 01 May '06

01 May '06

I see that "beagle" is part of FC5 and has generated a lot of files but I can't find any way to make it do anything? Entering "beagle" goes no where, "bash: beagle: command not found" I don't find a "man page" for it. Perhaps I could simply remove it via yum? Or is there some trick to getting it to do something? Google has not helped. Any help appreciated. Bob Goodwin, Zuni, Virginia w2bod

Hi All! Just FYI, FESCo (the Fedora Extras Steering Committee) currently plans a election of the members for the next FESCo. The current plan is that all members of the cvsextras group in the accounts systems (e.g. all Fedora Extras packagers) can vote their new "leaders". For details see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-May/msg00026.html For further discussion please use fedora-extras-list. tia CU thl -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora(a)leemhuis.info>

FC5 docs
by Keith Powell 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hello! Although I'm very much a Fedora newbie, I have been using other Linux distros for some time and am OK with the "standard" operations. However, I have got an FC5 magazine cover disk DVD and want to try Fedora for the first time. I've installed it and initial impressions are very good. There are some things which I have not come across before, such as YAM, PIRUT, and PUP. I want to find out how to use these packages, how to add repositories to them, and which repositories to add. For example, I understand that I need to add livna in order to install an nvidia driver. (My LCD monitor is off-centre unless I use the nvidia driver, rather than the generic nv one.) There will be other things I will find which are new to me as well. Is there a manual on using Fedora which I could download and print out? I would rather do this than keep bombarding the list with basic questions. There is no document included on the DVD. Thanks for any help. Keith

Gnome Panel Auto-Hide
by Ali Helmy 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hey lads, I turned on Auto-Hide for my gnome top-panel and then resized the auto-hide to 0 pxs, and it worked fine... however, when I restarted the computer and logged back in, it doesn't work anymore... turning auto-hide on or off has no effect what so ever, and it stays this way and i cant get it to function again -- Cheers, A.
