FC5 ACPI modules - how to add missing modules
by Laurence Vanek 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Im currently running the latest FC5 kernel (2.6.17-1.2174_FC5). Looking in: /lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2174_FC5/kernel/drivers/acpi I see only: ac.ko battery.ko ibm_acpi.ko video.ko asus_acpi.ko button.ko toshiba_acpi.ko I was hopeing to find a fan & thermal module also. I assume this means these were not compiled into this kernel. Is that a correct assumption? I am fearful that to get these I will need to recompile this kernel - something that makes me break out in hives. thoughts anyone?

NTFS partition resized at last
by Nigel Henry 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Many thanks to Charles Curley for the links. QTparted on Knoppix 5.0 crashed when trying to get info from hda with an NTFS formatted XP on it. He suggested Finnix, which I downloaded, but it runs in init2, and I apologise, but didn't look forward to resizing NTFS partitions in text mode. Saying that I'll use Finnix from time to time, and try to do stuff in text mode. After all it's all good experience. The link to.http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ solved the problem. I downloaded the gparted live cd, version-0.2.5.5.iso. Now I always use KDE, but have to give credit to Gnome for this. this DL was only 27.9MB (on dialup again, because I'm stuck on that), and I'm feeling very pessimistic that this is going to solve the problem. Anyway I burn the iso to CD-R, and go for it. I put XP in it's harddrive caddy into the machine, press go, and insert the CDROM with gparted on it, press enter to boot gparted, and I get a GUI. Amazing. Highlight hda, which is already there, click on resize (I bet XP won't like this, but hard cheese), give XP 12GB (more than it deserves), and click on apply. Well it's doing something, and runs for about 40mins, but does say it might take a while. OK. gparted says "job done". I must admit that pessimism is still hanging around. Click on eject, and reboot. The disc is ejected but no reboot. No problem. A hard reset reboots XP. XP for the the first time that I know runs CHKDSK (probably annoyed that it's file sysem has been messed with), then having accepted that it's ok, reboots, in the usual Windows style. Well, all I can say is that Gparted has done the job. XP is now showing that it's using 11.72GB of the 40GB drive, and all the rest is free space, and certainly enough for a couple of Linux distro's. Enough said. Nigel. .

Three things: >How are you running this DOS program under Linux? Have you re-compiled, or are you using something like dosemu, qemu, or wine? As if it's the latter, you may be able to set LPT1 in the configuration file. I have been running it under dosbox. The accounting program (which I have been using since 1987) is a pure DOS program. Unfortunately, dosbox does not know anything about printer ports. Wine does not do DOS programs... I have been completely unable to get dosemu to install and run...the 'freedos' hd image install never works. >Or you may just find that adding a networked printer and calling it LPT2 works fine. And where *exactly* would I call it 'LPT2' (or lpt2'. There seems to be no correlation between the printer name and the port which it uses...Of course there is a correlation by none of the config tools make that visible and I am unable to find any config which sets that out. Both OS/2 and Winblows make that correlation quite visible....I know it must exist, the question is where is the damn thing! >Thirdly, Unix filenames can be "fifo"s or "named pipes". In your case, you could set up a program to read anything that came from the fifo, print to the filename, and the data would be set to the waiting program. I haven't tested this fully, but something like rm /tmp/fifo # make sure there's nothing already there mkfifo /tmp/fifo lp -d printername </tmp/fifo & # & keeps the lp command running ~/dos/program.exe should allow you to "print" a file to /tmp/fifo and have them come out where you want. This has possibilities. I will try it with a fifo called 'lpt2.... One other, fairly obvious thing: please remember to change the subject line back if you're going to respond to a digest? Otherwise your message gets "lost". Yeah, noticed that myself.... Geoff

wxMaxima: looking for a volunteer to maintain it
by Paul Smith 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Dear All Not so far ago, wxMaxima was released. wxMaxima is a neat and powerful GUI for Maxima. See http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.net/ Unfortunately, the Fedora maintainer of Maxima is not available for maintaining wxMaxima at the moment, and I have not got the proper competences to take the job myself. Thus, I am asking here for a volunteer available to become the Fedora maintainer of wxMaxima. Thanks in advance, Paul

Nautilus cannot display windows network?
by Paul Erickson 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

I have a network of 5 computers which has been working fine until recently. I have one FC5 box setup as a samba server, and there are 4 other boxes using Windows XP or 98. Findsmb displays all the computers on the network, and the windows machines can access the shared files/folders, and can print through the FC box, but when I try to browse the network in Gnome, be it through "places>Network Servers>Windows Network>workgroup, or through the other gnome network tools, I get the following message: The folder contents could not be displayed. Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: workgroup". Somehow one of the system updates in the last few days, has mangled things, and I am at a loss as to how to troubleshoot it. I have tried google, but so far haven't been able to find anything relevant. I can ping the various boxes, but for some reason Nautilus cannot view them. I have the same trouble as user and as root. Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- cheers, Paul - VA7NT - email: va7nt(a)telus.net "Those who hear not the music, think the dancers mad." “Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.” - Thomas Mann "That state which separates it's warriors from it's scholars will have it's thinking done by cowards and fighting done by fools" - Thucydides - The Pelopenisia
