What is the proper way to restart udev?
by Steven W. Orr 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

I found /sbin/udevstart but there is no udevstop. Can I kill -1 the running udevd, or do I kill -9 the udevd followed by a udevstart, or do I have to reboot? TIA -- Time flies like the wind.

I have a Fedora6 installed using DHCP. How do I find out what IP has been assigned to it by the DHCP server. There is no ifconfig. -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory alternative." --- E.Taft Benson

Video and Audio = Hangs
by Fernando Apesteguía 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hello people, I had some hangs with my computer and after a bit of testings I was able to reproduce it always. If I'm playing music and I try to use the Video card extensively (moving Page Up and Down in Evince - this makes my CPU go to 100%) the system hangs. It doesn't matter if I'm in X11 or console (mplayer playing music and pdftotext rendering also hangs) Any ideas? Any clues to perform more tests? Thanks in advance

by Jeff Mutonho 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

My FC6 machine is failing to read DVDs.I've tried all sorts , including originals , without luck.However CDs are working fine. When I try to mount the drive with a DVD in it , I get the message "unable to mount media. there is probably no media in the drive" and yet , when i eject the DVD and insert a CD instead , all works fine.This problem only started after the upgrade from FC5 to FC6 -- Jeff Mutonho Cape Town South Africa GoogleTalk : ejbengine Skype : ejbengine Registered Linux user number 366042

FF question...
by Gene Heskett 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Greetings; I note that smart is updateing FF to 1.5.0.10 as I type here. I did have an install of FF-2.0 here at one point but it crashed about every 3rd link I clicked on, so I blew it away. But now we are getting to the end of FF-1.5, and I'm wondering if 2.x will ever making to be A: Stable, and B: Available for FC-6? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Slightly OT: bad rap for Fedora, and realistic effects
by Arthur Pemberton 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Well I'm not sure how many of you all have seen this: http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/02/22/207231 And this may or may not be the correct -list for this, but here goes. I think its fair to say that a lot of the louder voices on the internet do not like Fedora for fair and unfair reasons. My question is what does this do to Fedora, and RedHat by association. I can't imagine that anything good is coming of this. All the developers here are bound by the 24hr daily limit, ie. there is a finite amount of work that any developer can accomplish, esp. those not being paid to work on Fedora. Making the assumption that all these negative word of mouth is bleeding Fedora of contributors, then what's the plan? A few loyalist bound by the laws of Physics can only accomplish so much, and I'm even more worried that the bad karma trickles down to RedHat, who I believe is the Cinderella of the Linux community - one day I hope to be in the position to purchase RHEL licenses, but I'm becoming worried that it may not be around by time I get there. Peace -- Fedora Core 6 and proud

hi buddies, i tried to install loop-aes with that documentation (german) http://www.pl-berichte.de/t_system/loop-aes.html but there comes an compiling error [...] llseek.c:34: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘_llseek’ [...] and much more... (maybe I have to compile it with gcc-3.4?) anyone compiled loop-aes before? or is there an binary for FC6? greetings from germany jonas
