KDE woes....
by Michael Comperchio 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

you know, sometimes I feel like I'm playing with win3.1. Every time I touch something, the system breaks. I wanted to play with QT so I installed via yum QT4. NOW KDE WILL NOT START....tells me that it can't find libqt-mt-so.3. BS. It exists in /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib, /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib (which the ld.so.conf.d files point to) and also in /usr/lib64/qt4 (the directory yum install qt4 it into...) this is very frustrating....so I'm back to GNOME....which I guess is god's way of telling me that I'm a c programmer .... don't play with c++!!!!! any suggestions?

We have some problems with the configuration and upgrade of the website but the project is alive and the slinky installer works with FC 5. The mailing list is also still available to get support. Sorry for the website problems, I do hope to fix them soon. Marco -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server mclink.it Fedora Core 5 for low memory http://www.rule-project.org/

I seem to remember older drives having such a button but this one only has an eject button and a volume control. Apparently the drive needs some kind of command to just play an audio CD. I've spun the drive with several applications with headphones plugged into the audio jack only to get no sound out of the headphones and sound out my speaker system. I'd think that since the drive has a volume control for the audio jack that it's capable of doing a simple play but the question is how. I'm wondering if there is something like hdparm or scsitape to send commands to an IDE cdrom. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

(Wish) HTTPS support for yum
by Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail 30 Mar '07

Some places have freakingly paranoid networks ... I know I am inside one - with 2MB download size limit - with port 80post/get 443tcpconnect only outbound access - theres nothing much can be done ... although I myself know how to get through , but my friends arent able to .. I have a local mirror for them to use, even so, our LAN is separated into 6 segments and each segments couldnt connect directly to each other besides through a proxy that only allows port 80 post/get (with the 2MB download/upload size limit) and port 443 tcpconnect ... so, those who are staying in a different segment than me couldnt easily access my LAN repositories .. currently i'm using an ugly workaround by running apache without SSL on port 443 and installed prtunnel in those who want to use my repo. Prtunnel create a TCP forwarding a local port through the proxy and to my apache on port 443 (similar to SSH local forward) - faking a SSL connection .. it works .. however .. trying to get newbies to install prtunnel, explaining tunneling to them, and make them use it to get to my repo is a hell .. surely hope yum have https support so that I can just create one rpm for the yum config and ask them to export https_proxy rather than all the work to get prtunnel running on their pc .. this idea I also think it'll be beneficial for those in certain places that also have a paranoid network .. or perhaps .. any idea for a better workaround rather than prtunnel?? -- ----------------------------------------------- regards Hikaru ----------------------------------------------- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃「あまのひかる」 Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS ICT 2nd Year 1st Semester mohd.izhar.firdaus(a)gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- kagesenshi.87(a)gmail.com Blog: http://kagesenshi.blogspot.com -----------------------------------------------

Where did my sound go?
by Jeffrey Ross 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

first this is an x86_64 machine running FC6. I just updated the system with the latest updates with yum, two items I noticed that maybe of interest that were updated are ALSA and the Kernel. Ever since these packages were updated I have lost the sound. However... If I go to the sound card detection it play fine, run vlc and the machine is silent. The web browser is silent and so is the mail client's (thunderbird) new mail notification. The sound card in the machine is 06:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 02) per lspci and the sound card detection program says its module "snd-ens1371" Suggestions? TIA, Jeff

Can't start X?
by Knute Johnson 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I don't think this had anything to do with my problem but I loaded the Fedora 7 live cd to play with it. Then when I went to restart my computer X wouldn't start. I had the Livna nvidia driver loaded and working just fine. Now I can't get it to start even with the nv driver. Any idea where I should start? Thanks, -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe...
