Hi, I rebuilt xine-lib-moles from freshrpms myself, and installed xine-lib 1.4 from extras. Then, I downloaded TERRA 308: Warming Island PREVIEW Terraadmin-TERRA308WarmingIslandPREVIEW611.m4v and it played just nice. I tried some .mp4 movies and they also played fine. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ

fedora core 6 (writable file permissions related)
by Harpreet Dhaliwal 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi, I've been asked to check permissions on system directories and files using the follwoing command: # find / -perm -002 -type f -print output of this command is as follows: /proc/2056/attr/keycreate /proc/2056/attr/sockcreate /proc/2057/task/2057/attr/current /proc/2057/task/2057/attr/exec /proc/2057/task/2057/attr/fscreate /proc/2057/task/2057/attr/keycreate /proc/2057/task/2057/attr/sockcreate /proc/2057/attr/current /proc/2057/attr/exec /proc/2057/attr/fscreate /proc/2057/attr/keycreate /proc/2057/attr/sockcreate /proc/2058/task/2058/attr/current /proc/2058/task/2058/attr/exec /proc/2058/task/2058/attr/fscreate /proc/2058/task/2058/attr/keycreate I don't know how in the world this kind of output would tell me the permissions. I really did not understand it. Can someone help me out with this problem. thanks in advance, ~Harpreet

Re: Aironet wlan driver for cisco 350 series WLAN card.

Subject: Aironet wlan driver for cisco 350 series WLAN card. To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com Message-ID: <922c01f80702030733u19cbe93bx79b888c4df8449ae(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" " I see that with WEP enabled, the wireless doesnot comes up (fails to determine IP address). But it comes up fine when connected to a non-secure network (without WEP). Have anyone faced this issue. I am using "system-configure-network" GUI tool to configure my wireless card. Is there any other way to configure the wireless card? " I was eventually able to get my Aironet 350 card to work by using a script and iwconfig. But it was fragile, and sometimes did not work even with NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher running. And system-configure-network does not allow for the correct entries are you can put on a command line with iwconfig. You will have to run 'man iwconfig' and work up from there. Best $50 I have recently spent was to buy an IntelPro 2915 mini-pci card and replaced the Cisco. In my case, I have to find and download a small program to fix the 'error 1802' error, as the card I bought was not exactly the one it was supposed to be: that is, one that is listed in my T-40's bios as being an original IBM card. But the 'no-1802' program pokes the Bios to not run the card check and all is well. The card uses the Intel ipw2200 or the ibm ipw2200 drivers and works perfectly.

Partitions while installing FC6
by Alex Miua 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi all! I am a newbie as you can make out from my posts. I wish to ask a question about installing FC6. I have Win XP with lots of free space, but no "unallocated space" . Which option should I choose to allocate around 10 GB to linux. Please clarify as none of the options seemed to work. Thank you, Alex. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

seamonkey font problem
by Gene Heskett 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Greetings; TBE they're so small as to require both a strong magnifying glass and a bit of imagination to read them. I'm taking maybe 0.020" high here. Now, I can go into prefs and tell it to use 40 point fonts which brings slashdot up to somewhat small, but readable. But it only applies to the web pages content, not seamonkey's own menu's and such, they remain unchanged. Unforch, nothing I can do seem to be able to effect the size of the fonts used in the address bar and other similar locations, like the status line at the bottom. When it says done, that word will fit between | | with lots of room to spare. Does anyone have a formula that would make seamonkey usable? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

As long as xine can play it, it should work. However, I have no m4v file to test. I will have to download one first. Also, xine-lib 1.4 from extras is out there today. I am just waiting for the non-free part from freshrpms to install it. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ

> oh yeah, I gave it a try once. IMO this is really strange project. These guys are trying to make their own player instead one that > already works reliably. Democracy lets you pull the .flv and .mov video files from subscribed channels but does not play any of these > - just crashes. In the same time mplayer, xine and vlc play those videos reliably so why not to use them as a backend? I think you did not understand. First, I said I fixed their rpms. It does not crash playing videos anymore. Second, they use xine or gstreamer engine to play the videos, and third, the application uses bittorrent technology to download the videos with a nice interface. Therefore, they offer a very good integration of open software tools. The videos are associated to channels, and any group of people can define a new channel. Is it experimental? Yes. Isn't it perfecet yet? Yes. But I think it has a promising future. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
