Install Fedora Core 7 as a guest in VMWare
by YEUNG Jacky
Dear all,
Do anyone have experience installing Fedora Core 7 as a guest OS in VMware?
I'm now facing the problem that when I boot up with Fedora 7 DVD and start install, it always stops at loading the piix driver.
What problems maybe there?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Jacky

Apologies for the duplicate - gmane did not respond for ages so I
mailed directly - it seems that gmane did eventually process this file
more than an hour after I submitted it!

Re: Install on Intel DG965WH

I want to install FC7 on this machine but it's not seeing the SATA
drives during installation. Does anyone have this motherboard and can
give a clue how to install on it?
*********************
A motherboard from Intel that recent would have settings in the BIOS for
the hard drives. You probably need to set it to : "P-ATA + S-ATA".
Probably under the 'Boot' tab of the BIOS.

VDQ : merging f7 configs
by Beartooth
On one, but only one, of our F7 machines yum update often pauses with
some such query as this :
Package nss_ldap: merging configuration for file "/etc/ldap.conf":
By default, RPM would keep your local version and rename the new one to /
etc/ldap.conf.rpmnew
What do you want to do ?
- diff the two versions (d)
- do the default RPM action (q)
- install the package's version (i)
- merge interactively with vim (v)
- background this process and examine manually (z)
Your answer ?
My default has usually been q, figuring the hotshots would pick
the safest thing as the default. Is that so? Should I be moving old files
to backups and .rpmnew files to current according to any particular
criteria? Is there any way of doing it in mass that's safe? The things
must be piling up, and in places I have no knowledge of ...

Problems compiling a source package
by Terry Polzin
Folks;
I'm getting the following error when I run ./configure on a package tarball I
wish to compile.
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.6 gthread-2.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found
in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory
containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No
package 'gtk+-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.6 gthread-2.0) not
met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
I really do think I have everything I need I just don't know how to convince
pkg-config.
rpm -qa | grep gtk

Thanks for the suggestion - I will try it.

Indeed - another good idea...

wpa_supplicant - how?
by Mike C
I have been playing with wpa_supplicant - and on one Dell d610 running
up-to-date F7 I can get the wpa_supplicant running (both manual and
daemon) to get a stable working link to thw AP with the ipw2200
inbuilt wireless card. This is using wpa_supplicant to connect using
WEP encryption to the local AP. At this point I believe that setting
up a WPA network section in wpa_supplicant.conf will likely get a
working connection with WPA encryption.
However I have also been trying two other systems which need to be
tested before thinking about switching encryption on the AP from WEP
to WPA, and I will give the current situation with each before asking
a few questions on this list.
a) Laptop 2 is an Amilo with no inbuilt wireless and it runs F7 fully
up to date with an Edimax USB wireless card. By compiling the rt73
driver myself this can connect nicely to the WEP encrypted AP, but the
rt73 driver is not supported in wpa_supplicant version 0.5.7 in F7.
There is nominally a driver in the current kernel (rt2x00) which has
rt73usb support, and is supported in the current version of
wpa_supppicant, but it does not work with this wireless card! I
understand that rt2x00 is under heavy development now. However the
rt73 driver does support WPA encryption natively so it should in
principle be possible to get a connection to a WPA encrypted AP with a
little extra work.
Has anyone managed to achieve this ? If so how? Are there details on a
web page somewhere?
b) Laptop 3 is a Samsung Q35 running FC6 and has an IPW3945 wireless
card in it. With the recent kernels and the iwl3945 driver it has been
possible to get this driver working and connected with a stable WEP
encrypted link to the AP.
In this machine the FC6 version of wpa_supplicant is 0.4.9-1 and seems
not to support the iwl3945 driver yet!
So I have a dilemma here - it would be nice to have all three laptops
able to make a WPA encrypted connection to the AP. However it seems
that at present I can only get one of them to potentially achieve
this! Maybe the second with a tail wind!
So the questions are:
1) It may be possible to get the EDimax USB dongle to get a WPA link
going but this is not tested - has anyone else managed to achieve this
in F7? If so how, and is there a web page describing the details?
2) I am reluctant to move the Samsung from FC6 to F7 yet since I am
not 100% confident that the ipw3945 card will be supported in a stable
way with the iwl3945 driver in F7 (anyone done this?) but also I would
like to know if there will soon be a version of wpa_supplicant in FC6
that does work with iwl3945 - has anyone managed to do this
successfully yet?
Is there a test version of wpa_supplicant for FC6 available that will
work in FC6 with the iwl3945 card using the iwl3945 driver in the
latest FC6 kernel?
Thanks

Fedora 8 and pre-release glibc
by Jack Howarth
Is Fedora actually planning to release Fedora 8 with a
pre-release glibc (2.6.90)? I don't recall any of the
prior Fedora releases doing that and I am a tad concerned
if this will cause any problems later. Or is glibc 2.7
really close to release? Thanks in advance for any
comments.

BackupPC
by Johan Cwiklinski
Hi there,
I'm answering to an old post from this list (sorry not to answer
correctly, but I had not subscribe to this list before today...).
Original thread can be found here :
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-September/msg03911.html
I've pushed BackupPC 3.0.0 on update-testing repo, since there were a
lot of modifications between 2.1.x and 3.0.0. I've also tried to correct
SELinux issues (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243218).
Version 3.0.0 is also available in FC6 Extras repo and rawhide.
I think I'll put in in F7 stable repo soon, feel free to test it :)
As it seems install with this RPM should be obscure, I'll try to write a
README.fedora. Any suggests would be welcome.
Best regards,
Johan
