MSI K9NGM2-FID Kernal won't boot after upgrade to 2174
by Tom Bishop 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

I am using fc5 on a brand new MSI MSI K9NGM2-FID AM2 pc, I have installed the x_64 vers and the installation went smoothly. However, once I booted and performed a yum upgrade, the latest kernel (2.6 2174) will not boot, I get the following error: pci:bios bug;mmcfgarea@e0000000 is not e820-reserved pci:not using mmconfig This happens shortly after selecting in grub and the system just hangs. I can however boot the orginal kernel 2.6.15 and I don't receive these messages. Since this is a new board MSI doesn't have a newer bios to test, has anyone seen this? Is there a workaround? Thanks.

Cyrus SASL + LDAP
by Chong Yu Meng 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

Hi all, Not strictly a Fedora issue. I'm trying to get my head around the following configuration: I want to setup Cyrus SASL such that it will look up a OpenLDAP directory tree to retrieve the password for authentication. Cyrus SASL and OpenLDAP will provide authentication services for Cyrus IMAP as well as Postfix. From Googling about for the last 3 hours, I have been able to gather that I should define the following inside /etc/saslauthd.conf: ldap_servers ldap_bind_dn ldap_bind_pw ldap_search_base But this will only work if the username is a UID in the tree. For my purposes, I need SASL to look up the mail attribute and get the corresponding password. Is there a parameter that will allow me to define a LDAP search string?

Import Evolution Calendar to Palm Pilot?
by Sean Carlos 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

Has anyone been able to import a calendar in Evolution into a Palm Pilot using FC5? If so, using which tools? I can import tasks and contacts, but the calendar is ignored when using the standard gpilot app. I also tried multisync + libopensync from extras, but it is not at all clear how to get the Palm plugin to recognize the pilot. - Sean Carlos

Thanks Todd, The command alias line="head -n1 $@" should work but there goes another great linux tool to process all lines of a file without sed or awk.

Desktop system PCI wireless solution
by Jay Cliburn 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

I need a PCI-based wireless adapter for a Fedora desktop system. This thread discusses it to a point, unfortunately, however, I never saw that the OP was successful in getting his PCI wireless card working in Fedora. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&m=115638433316282&w=2 One respondent (Thurfir) indicated success with an Asus WL-330G, which appears to the OS as a wired device. (Thurfir, if you're reading this, what driver does Fedora use for the device?) I'd like any recommendation for a PCI-based wireless device that works in Fedora, preferably without ndiswrapper, but if you have an adapter working with ndiswrapper in a desktop system, I'd like to know that, too. Thanks, Jay

XSLT extension of php
by Gianfranco Durin 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Hi all, does anybody know if there is a way to have the xslt extension of php under fedora? I need to use it installing the nice tool of biborb (http://biborb.glymn.net/) which enables me to make bib files trough the web. I see there are no rpm, and that the request is to recompile php with some options. I found an rpm ( php-xslt-4.3.4-2sls.i586.rpm ) which sounds nice, but it requires php432 (means nothing to me...). Can someone suggest me a way? Thank you in advance Gianfranco

LDAP/nsswitch/boot issues
by Steve Tate 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Hello helpful people -- I'm having an issue that I hope you can help me with. This must be a common problem, but I can't find anything about it -- maybe I'm not making the right google queries... Here's the situation: I've moved user info for a LAN to an LDAP server (I was using NIS). Everything works just great except one thing: booting up the server. The server has ldap listed in the nsswitch.conf, but the boot order is killing me. It reboots and tries to start up named before the LDAP server, and it hangs -- I'm guessing it's trying to map uids and is looking for the LDAP server, can't connect (because it's not up yet), and then hangs (it might come back eventually, but the longest I let it sit there before rebooting was about 3 minutes). I tried moving the startup for ldap before named -- no luck -- this time the ldap startup hung for some reason. Here's my current, ugly workaround: I've got two nsswitch.conf files - nsswitch.conf.ldap and nsswitch.conf.local (with all ldap references removed). In /etc/rc.sysinit, as soon as the root fs is remount r/w I link nsswitch.conf to nsswitch.conf.local. Then in the ldap startup script, I link nsswitch.conf to nsswitch.conf.ldap once the ldap server is up. Now everything boots up just great, but that seems like a pretty ugly hack to me. I must be missing something pretty basic here, because this must be a pretty common setup (LDAP server using the LDAP user database). What's the "right" way to do this? -- Steve
