RE: Timezone Updates...
by Gareth Howlett 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

I'm running production systems without access to the internet (yes it still happens). If I had been able to run yum, I wouldn't be sweating the problem. For those who might not be able to find the old posts... The real information I was lacking to find what I needed was the tzdata rpm name... the change log for the RPM is provided below. http://fr.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/updates/4/i386/tzdata-2006g-1.fc 4.noarch.html You can find copies of the RPM on most updated mirrors or @ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/ for FC4... Also, thanks for the google "site:" tip. Thanks guys, all is well now. - Gareth -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces(a)redhat.com [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Matthew J.

Gareth, Les Mikesell has covered checking the systems to see if they are up to date. I will tell you to update FC3 and FC4 systems. First, you need to configure the machines to get updates from the Fedora Legacy repos. This is covered in detail at: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy/YumFC3Detailed http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy/YumFC4Detailed My experience was that the main Fedora legacy servers were unavailable. Mirrors were required, including changing the "baseurl" entries in "/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-legacy.repo". A list of Fedora legacy mirrors is at: http://fedoralegacy.org/download/fedoralegacy-mirrors.php Once this is done, updating the timezone data is as simple as: # yum update tzdata For reference, this updated my FC3 machines to "tzdata-2006a-2.fc3.1" and my FC4 machines were already at "tzdata-2006g-1.fc4" and did not have an update available. Once the tzdata update is complete, it can be verified as follows: # zdump -v US/Eastern | grep 2007 US/Eastern Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 US/Eastern Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 US/Eastern Sun Nov 4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 US/Eastern Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 Note that the DST rules correctly state that it starts on March 11th and ends on November 4th. Something is wrong if they still say April 1st to October 28th.

by Olaf Mueller 21 Feb '07

Hello, Does anybody knows where the module snd-cs4232 is gone under kernel 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6? For my toshiba tecra 8000 notebook the following settings in /etc/modprobe.conf are working for my isa sound card under previous fedora kernels: alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4232 alias sound-slot-0 snd-cs4232 options snd-cs4232 port=0x534 cport=0x538 isapnp=0 dma1=1 dma2=0 irq=5 Now there's no sound anymore and also no module snd-cs4232 under /lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2911.fc6/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/, only the follwoing modules are available: snd-cs4231-lib.ko snd-cs4236.ko snd-cs4236-lib.ko Any change to get back snd-cs4232 and sound in 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6? If not, what is the latest working fc6-kernel with the isa module snd-cs4232 on board? thanks Olaf

I recently transferred a website from one host to another and have many issues which I believe can be resolved by changing the file permission after ftp'ing the ste to my box..

by Richard Ray 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

In my upgrade from FC4 to FC5 I lost several apps in /usr/X11R6/bin/ that I sometime use, bitmap, atobm, and bmtoa. I can't find them in any of the xorg-x11 rpms. Would someone tell me where they now reside? Thanks Richard

How CUPS can say: Priority: Low, e.g. a documentation error or undocumented side-effect I have no idea - its worse than useless, its expensive.

Timezone Updates...
by Gareth Howlett 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

Hey, As I'm sure everyone is aware, the time zones in North America will be changing soon (the day light savings time change dates). I'm running a bunch of time-sensitive FC4 systems... I've been searching for an update to deal with this but I'm not sure it exits... anyone have any input? - Gareth

Cannot use Aspell in kate
by Dotan Cohen 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

Although after installing FC6 on my Dell laptop I was able to use Aspell in Kate, I can no longer use it. Kate complains that aspell may not be installed, or may not be in my path. In my guestuser account, however, the spellcheck in kate works fine. I can also call aspell from the command line (in both accounts) and get the usage information. So why can't kate find the required components, and how can I convince her to find them?
