Erorr: "Marking TSC unstable due to: check_tsc_sync_source failed"
by Konstantin Svist
After updating my FC6 from 2.6.20-1.2952 to 2.6.22.9-61, it seems I
started getting some error messages about TSC being disabled.
/var/log/messages had this with the old kernel:
Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: Total of 2 processors activated
(7317.20 BogoMIPS).
Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs

Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: CPU#1 had 1014760 usecs TSC skew,
fixed it up.

Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: migration_cost=38
Oct 26 21:52:02 localhost kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 16
the new one says:

Nov 4 19:24:28 localhost kernel: ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs

Nov 4 19:24:28 localhost kernel: Time: 19:23:47 Date: 10/04/107

Is this normal? Should I do anything about it?

Asus p4p800 deluxe BROKEN INSTALL on FC5- FC6-FC7
by Randy Ramsdell
Ok nice to be right back in the EXACT same position I was in several
years ago regarding this motherboard and installing FC. I think it was
FC3 that this first became an issue, but I was able to work around it
and install FC. So now, I tried to install FC6/7 and I yet to find a way
to get it installed.
So now it has been a year or so without being able to run Fedora/CentOS.
Please help as I really don't want to use Ubunto and especially not Suse.
Anyone have an issue installing on the Asus board?
Trying to install causes a seg fault when dealing with the hard drives
either in BIOS setting compatibility mode or SATA mode. Anaconda shows
the hard drives as "/dev/mapper" or something like that, but as you
know, they should appear as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. All I ever see is a
single "/dev/mapper" which suggests that Anaconda sees a raid array even
after I fdisk the drives. Of coarse this also rendered the system
unusable after the seg fault resulted in a reboot.

Returning to the OOwrite malfuntion question.
by Aaron Konstam
Two days ago I asked whether people with Openoffice 2.2 can print
documents with OOwrite in landscape format?
The only reponse I got was from somone using Openoffice 2.3 who said he
could. Does the silence from everyone else mean that you can to with
Openopffice 2.2?

ever migrate from Fedora to Scientific Linux or CentOS?
by Paul Johnson
We have lots of Fedora systems and it is turning out to be too much
work to keep them up to date. I have to rebuild a lot or RPMs when
the kernel is updates, and that is getting to be a hassle. If I could
do a major system update every 18 months or 2 years, it would be fine.
The unexpected bug introduced by frequent updates (much less
re-installs) have lost some of their charm for us.
So I'm going to spend some vacation time at the end of the month to
see about these longer lived Linuxes. Got any advice? I expect some
of you Fedora users have been on the other distributions.
I only want to consider RPM based ones, because I'm very familiar with
RPM and don't like DEB as much (just not as familiar, I guess). I
don't necessarily want one that is "good for newbies." I don't want
one that closes off too many options (recently switched from Gnome to
KDE because latest KDE offers much more customizability of window
manager and desktop than Gnome).
Scientific Linux is appealing because it has a cool sounding name (for
academics) and it provides OpenAFS drivers and has a long life. But I
worry that it will be harder to get RPMS for it to play MP3s or such.
gxine has been pretty good lately for my students who listen to
Brazilian radio stations. Nothing else can, it appears. So If I
switch to SL, maybe I just buy one kind of trouble.
I started to wonder if anybody had tried to update a running F6 or F5
system onto one of the other RPM based distros. It appears to me that
CentOS or SL are RPM based, and I was thinking it might be fun to just
try to run an upgrade by installing their packages. Maybe remove
fedora-release RPM and see what happens.
In the past I've resisted adopting these longer lived distros because,
well, they get outdated and frustrating because they don't
interoperate with the rapidly changing part of the Linux world. Last
time we bought RedHat Enterprise 4 I noticed that thunderbird and gcc
were lagging behind the official releases by a long ways. When we
went to update some research software, we found we had to re-build
newer gcc and update tcl/tk in order to put in the software we wanted.
One time, the upgrade of gcc required me to rebuild the whole
toolchain starting with glibc, bison and whatever else depended on
them, so having a "long lived" distribution amounted to a lot more
work.
So maybe I don't want Scientific Linux or CentOS. Wish the
RedHat/Fedora Legacy group had not disbanded. For security updates on
a one year old distro, it was very handy.

problem with wins server with SAMBA
by Adel ESSAFI
Hi list
I am configuring SAMBA as PDC on F7. All configuration works fine. the
serveur is called DSERVER, the domain is SOCINFO. I have activated the
wins support on the samba serveur. However, the master of the domain
SOCINFO is ESSTT2007. Can someone help me. The normal behaviour is to
have DSERVER as master. Any input will be helpful

rpm for ldap
by Michael Hennebry
I've been trying to install pine.
The pine rpm wants libldap.so.2 .
I've not been able to find an rpm that provides it.
Google has not been my friend.
yum provides came up empty.
I have source from the openldap folks,
but building from source won't tell yum about it.
Where should I get ldap?
