by mike 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

I have caching-nameserver running on FC6. No matter what I do it will note recognizea zone set as a Slave. The whole purpose of this machine is to be a secondary DNS. Any comments?

what happened to KPILOT in KDEPIM-3.5.6 (Fedora 6 update) ?
by Marcello M. Pavan 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

Greetings KPILOT has been a staple app of mine for some time to sync my treo 650 with Kontact. But suddenly is disappeared from the latest KDEPIM-3.5.6 in the last Fedora Core 6 update (accesed via Yum). can anyone tell me what is going on ? an exhaustive web search (including Fedora forums and mailing lists) has yielded nothing so far. your help is much appreciated, and very much required. life is tougher without my Treo and Kontact in sync ... cheers, marcello -- Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. - Albert Einstein --- Marcello M.

Problem with firefox opening new windows
by Gordon Charrick 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

Has anyone else seen this problem? I've got the latest firefox Occasionally, if I left click on a link, instead of FF opening the link in the current window, it will open a new window maybe 75% of the size and open the link there. This window has no decoration other than a titlebar. The "main" FF window acts like a program that is hung somewhat. The nasty thing is that if I click on the X in the upper right corner to close the new child window, it completely kills FF, even if there are several tabs open. I can generally refresh the page and the window goes away and open properly in the main window. It's really annoying and I can't reproduce it at will but it does happen often. Gordon

I have install my fc6 server with RAID-1 software on 2 SATA HD. All work fine. My question is: If HD1 crash, HD2 is ready for boot the system? I have see witch the MBR of the 2 disk is different. (see follow explanation)... I must copy with this command: # dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb MBR of first disk on MBR of second disk? Or this operation is not necessary?

OOo-2.2 install

Will proceed quite well if you exclude the jre package that's in the download.

Trying to Boot Directly into the GUI and other Display Problems
by 7mgte 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

During the clean install of FC6 there was a message saying there was not enough memory to do use the GUI installer and that the text installer would be used instead. Fair enough since the machine has 192MB of memory. (The machine is a Compaq EN and is going to be used mainly as a firewall.) Later in the install, in prompted to allow the early use of the hard drive for a swap file due to the small physical memory. Now, in past installs (I am still a relative novice) the machine would boot into the GUI (runlevel 5) after the installation. However, this machine keeps coming up in text mode. During boot, I see a INIT runlevel 3 go by, but can't figure out what is causing it to go into text mode. In text mode, logging in as root, I can do a gdm and the GUI comes up. So it would seem that all the bits and pieces are there for the GUI. There is one odd thing though. When I try to change the display resolution it limits me to 800x600 apparently because it thinks it is hooked to a generic CRT display with limited capability. The truly bizarre thing is that it will not let me change the display type to anything else (OK is greyed out)! (The monitor is a ViewSonic VA912b LCD that handily does 1280 x 1024! I have tried to use all the classic Xconfig type tools, but none of them seem to be installed. I've also done a variety of Google searches, but not come up with anything that helps. (Not to say it doesn't exist, but I have not hit it with the keywords I used!). Is the core of my problem the limited DRAM on my system? Or is there something I screwed up with the installation. Any references or help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Don

This just came up and it seemed absurd that I had everything I needed to be able to play a CD in the drive except a way to tell the drive to play the CD. The next set of speaker I get *WILL* have a bypass headphone jack but these don't. That's one of the things that has slowed down my hobby of ripping vinyl LPs. Oh well. Next time.

Re: Mythtv using twinhan bt878 of FC6
by R. G. Newbury 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

.. gave me his twinham bt878 DVB card but I keep running into problems can someone help. First off Myth says can not open card. I checked /dev/video0 but ths does not exists. /dev/dvb does though I have ran #modprobe -v dvb-bt8xx output ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 31 23:13:34 localhost kernel: DVB: registering frontend 0 (DST DVB-T)... ******* It's a dvb card, which usually 'talk' through /dev/dvb/adapter0... Does this card need any firmware...Does not look like it as dmesg reports the registration. First, are you sure that some other program has not attempted to grab the card? You might try blacklisting ALL of the dvb-bt8xx related modules, and just loading the one, after a normal boot. That way nothing else can grab the card. Second, are you selecting the right kind of card in mythtv-setup card setup? Try going through a selecting each type in order...those combinations which are wrong, myth will reject: "cannot open card". I suspect that that is your most likely problem. You might try the mythtv wiki wiki.mythtv.org or search the mythtv user list archives at www.gossamerthreads.com Geoff

It's a traditional system so the sound card is on the back of the case which sits in a desk and is a royal pain to get to. That's the one down side of having a desk with a specific spot for a system. cdplay seems to fit the bill. I can spin CDs and listen using the drive's audio jack. I just mute the sound card. If I don't need to be under the headphones, I just un-mute the sound with no contortions trying to reach the back of the computer case. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.
