FC4 -> FC6 dvd writer not detected
by Douglas Phillipson 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

After I upgraded to FC6 my DVD writer was no longer detected, I suspect because I had to comment out a line in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules to get my machine to boot. What can I do to get the DVD detected and the device made for it, after the machine is booted. Because I had to comment out the following line in 50-udev.rules: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="?*", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}" I had to put: "/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1" in /etc/rc.local for my sound card driver to be loaded. I assume I need another modprobe command for my DVD, I just don't know what it is... Thanks Doug p

To update it, use the PPM tool; CPAN will give you source code that you quite probably won't be able to install without a compiler of some sort. Erik

OT: query routers tables
by Jamie Bohr 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

This question is way off topic, sorry. I have googled and googled and have not come up with a answer to my question. I want to query a switch (via SNMP I think) to get a list of systems attached to it. I am using Nagios and would like to determine switch/router dependencies. Trace route will not work because it will not show routers/switches for systems on the same sub-net as the system doing the trace route and I have seen where it does not return the network based switch a system is attached to, just the router. If I could get a list systems attached to a router/switch (not a personnel switch, a managed switch) I can correlate the information and build dependencies. I have a hand-held Fluke network tester than runs Linux that will do this for me when I type in a hostname, I would rather do it programmaticly because I have over 300 systems I need to do. I am open to any method that works that I can script so I don't have to do it every time a new system appears. Just in case it matters some systems are attached to a V-lan off a managed switch and I do NOT have admin rights to the routers or switches. -- Jamie Bohr

Fedora Core 6 not recognizing all of my memory
by SevenFortyOne 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Greetings, I just installed FC6 on a Dell 6800 with 32GB of ram. When I run the free command it reports I only have about 15GB available. I had FC4 on this machine and it saw all 32GB of Ram. I checked the BIOS and it seems to see all 32GB as well. Does anyone know if there is a known problem with FC6 seeing this much RAM? --741

Hi Anne, > I was, previously. It was uninstalled as a dependency when I removed the > livna ffmpeg package. I have downloaded the .tar.gz and had intended > compiling it later today, but I'll try the mjpegtools from ATrpms. The link > you gave me says 'mjpegtools-devel' - is this right? No, you do not need the devel, only the main mjpegtools. By the way, I filed a bug report to freshrpms about the missing option -p S, in mjpegtolls 1.9.0 However, I do not use mjpegtools directly. I have always used mencoder or transcode for that. If you think version 1.9.1 still have problems, you can email me directly, and I will try to fix it. It is a package used by many other projects, and should work. /Paulo Roma.

CUPS Tunning
by Danesh Daroui 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hi all, I have a fedora 6 machine which acts as Print server. I have had following problem since I had installed Fedora 3: 1. Each time I turn off each printer connected to the server and restart the server, when I turn the printer on again, the system says that new printer has been detected. How can I install each printer permanently? 2. I would like not you use SAMBA for printer sharing, so when I want to use IPP for my both Windows XP and Ubuntu notebook to connect to the server and detect printers it always fails. However the CUPS port 631 on the server is already open! Regards, H.

shell script how to switch users?
by Rajiv Jaisankar 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hi All, i am not sure if this is the right mailing list for asking this question. I would appreciate any help on this. I want to switch users using a shell script, i.e. Say i am logged in as user1. I would like to say su - user2 in my script. I would be performing some operations as user "user2" as part of the script after logging in as this user. Finally i will be exiting back to user1 shell. How will i login as user2 through shell script? How will i execute scripts as user2 after logging in from shell script? Even if i am able to login as user2 any commands after "su - user2" are not executed as user2. They are executed only as user1 when i exit the user2 shell. -- Regards, Rajiv

qwerty layout shortcuts
by Dotan Cohen 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

On KDE I've got three keyboard layouts installed- US English, Dvorak, and Hebrew. I go nuts switching over to US English everytime that I need to perform a keyboard shortcut. How can I have the keyboard shortcuts work as if the keyboard is always qwerty? I'd like to configure it at the X level rather than at the KDE level, but I'd accept any solution that works. Thanks in advance. Dotan Cohen http://dotancohen.com/eng/movies.php http://what-is-what.com/what_is/skype.html

Problems upgrading dbusfc6 version to fc7 development version.
by David Hunter 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

I´ve got the following files on my system (dbus versions) dbus-1.0.1-8.fc6 dbus-x11-1.0.1-8.fc6 but the development packages are: dbus-1.0.1-3.fc7.i386.rpm dbus-x11-1.0.1-3.fc7.i386.rpm both rpm and yum see that the version (not the fc bit) of the fc7 version is less than the fc6 version. How can I upgrade to the fc7 version? Or do I wait till the fc7 version excedes the fc6 version? -- David Hunter

dhclient
by Simon Neumeister 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

hi everybody since i changed from Mandriva 2007 to FC6, i have trouble with the automatic network configuration through dhclient. As i am moving daily from home to office and back with my laptop and use on both locations dhcp for configuation, i ran into trouble as dhclient requests an ip address for the network at home when i am in the office and vice versa. The dhcp-server of course reponds then with a 'wrong network' message. When doing the entire stuff manually (ifdown eth0, ifup eth0) its the same. The only solution i have right now is to unload the eth0 driver (rmmod tg3) from the kernel and load it again (modprobe tg3), but thats no permanent solution.... -- regards Simon
