GNOME won't boot
by jery_wang 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

I have a major problem. I can't seem to logon to GNOME. After I type in my password and hit enter, a message pops up saying: "There was an error starting the GNOME Setting Daemon. Some thing, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The setting Daemon restarted too many times. The last error message was: Child process did not give an error massage, unknown failure occured. GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next tiime you log in" Then it gives me the option to "close" the popup box. So I then hit close. After that it starts loading for about 12 minutes and then everything goes blank. When I say "loading" I mean that the "fedora core" sign comes up and then a picture of icons appear. Sound fimiliar? As soon as it loads for about 12 minutes or so, it stops and everything goes away(including the fedora core sign) and the only thing that is in front of me is a mouse pointer, nothing else. After that I just waited for about another 15 minutes or so to see if it would take me to my desktop but it didn't. The last thing that I did to the computer was uninstalling "Glade Interface Designer" I'm positive that I didn't uninstall anything that was related to GNOME. Anyway, after uninstalling Glade Interface Designer, I tried to go into terminal but it failed. So that's when I restarted the computer. Then that's when I received the above error message when trying to log in, as you can see. As of now, I have no idea what to do to fix this. I will take any suggestions. Am I toast? -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org http://fcp.homelinux.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=96826&topic_id…

Problem with tvtime and Xorg updates -- I think??
by Bill Case 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi; I seem to have lost some clarity in my reception after recent upgrades. I was unsuccessful in getting help on the #tvtime IRC. Below is a copy of my conversation. I am hoping someone here can help. "<bill__> Hi; I have just upgraded a bunch of Xorg files (and other programs including the latest kernel) on Fedora Core 5. The clarity of my TV reception now seems all screwed up. I am using, kernel 2.6.17-2139-FC5, ATI Wonder VE, tvtime 1.0.1. <voosuz> what do you mean by clarity? <bill__> hi voosuz; I was trying to avoid starting with long verbal descriptions. It seems that the contrast has been increased, but when I decrease the contrast value the whole picture just fades a bit. <voosuz> did the same happen for mplayer/xine movies after your upgrade? <bill__> Didn't try. I have never watched movies on my console. For example, I keep news broadcasts on in the background. CNN usually gives me my best reception. Now it seems facial detail is lost, colours appear in blobs rather than gradients. The loss in clarity is not huge, but noticeable. (In the last couple of World Cup games, close up shots are watchable even if not as sharp as they used to be, but, long shots are overwhelmed by the greenish/yellow of the soccer field.) Don't have/own any movie disks. If it helps -- I am in Ottawa Canada, using Rogers Cable. They have been moving to digital high definition lately. My pictures have been slowly appearing clearer and clearer over the last few months -- almost becoming spectacular. This problem is more than a step backwards. <voosuz> hmm sorry, i'm only a user myself <bill__> Thanks for trying voosuz; maybe someone who has some suggestions can read this exchange and respond with some ideas. <voosuz> if it really bothers you (i know it would bother me) you should try and locate which package upgrade exactly caused it. <bill__> Yea voosuz; I agree. I was trying to avoid an afternoon playing around and tweaking, but I guess there is nothing but to get started." I really don't want to climb this long learning curve if I can avoid it. Has anybody else run into this problem? Can anyone add suggestions on how to solve it? Is it a bug? -- Regards Bill

Removing old FC kernals
by Andrew Wood 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi, I need to free-up some space on my computer to install FC5. I have about 14 images of the kernals in the boot directory - from FC3 onwards. Can I simply delete these files from the boot directory - except for the most recent of course! Or is there some tool I'm supposed to use to do this cleanly? Actually, which files can I delete that correspond with each image - just to be thorough. Thanks for you help, Andrew

kmod-fglrx
by Mark Curry 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi, I have installed a xen0 kernel and am trying to build a module fglrx-kmod from the livna srpm to load, but it ain't working can you help? If I do: rpmbuild -ba SPEC/fglrx-kmod.spec --target $(uname -rm) --without userland I get a message saying (xen0) unsupported architecture. In the spec file the line %define xenvar xen0 had been commented, but removing the comment makes no difference: %define upvar "" %ifarch i686 ppc %define smpvar smp %endif %ifarch i686 x86_64 #disabled for now: define xenvar xen0 %define kdumpvar kdump %endif %{!?kvariants: %define kvariants %{?upvar} %{?smpvar} %{?xenvar} %{?kdumpvar}} Please help... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark Curry mcc28_x(a)yahoo.co.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hostname and dhcp question
by Deepak 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi, I have fedora core 5 installed in one of my computer in LAN. One of the windows machine acts as the web server (internal) for the LAN but I can't figure out how to get the web page served by that machine in my fedora. Just typing the hostname (http://hostname) doesn't work, I have to put the IP address to see the page. What's wrong with DHCP setting? and how to fix this? By the way all computers in my LAN have dynamic address which is handled by DSL modem router. Other windows machine is behaving correctly, only fedora installation is not. What do I need to do? I also checked the network settings and found nothing to do with that as it has all automatic option checked. Thanks!
