Errors on the REDHAT metadata
by Howard Howell 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

While running "yum whatprovides" I received the following errors: ============================================================================================ Importing additional filelist information filelists.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 104 kB 00:30 http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/fedora.redhat/linux/extras/6/i386/repoda…: [Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out Trying other mirror. filelists.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 3.5 MB 00:27 http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/extras/6/i386/repodata/filelists.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror. filelists.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 3.5 MB 00:26 http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/rep…: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror. filelists.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 3.5 MB 00:23 ftp://mirror.newnanutilities.org/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/repodata/fi…: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror. filelists.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 48 kB 00:34 http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/repodata/fileli…: [Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out ====================================================================================================================== So I am wondering if I am the only one, or is there some problem with the fedora files. The messages most disturbing are the checksum errors, meaning that the data was not transfered correctly. This could be issues with my DSL service or is there a problem that others are seeing as well? Regards, Les Howell

The BBC now has the Linux on Dell story http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6506027.stm A little free publicity, but a shame it's a bit buried where the windows using hordes aren't so likely to see it. D

Telling yumex to remove evolution-data-server it wants to remove all these other files. some of these files appear to be a problem if they are removed. Why is evolution-data-server needed if I am not using Gnome or Evolution. What problems will I cause by removing evolution-data-server?

HOw to determine correct serial port
by Mark Haney 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

I've got a USB to Serial port adapter and for the life of me I can't find the right port for it. I want to be able to use the adapter in linux to communicate with some Cisco devices we have so that I don't have to boot to Windows. Any ideas? -- Ita erat quando hic adveni.

Coz it would be strange given that this year the two mails I have sent to this list are the original one and the one I posted today? Also it seems very much unlike me to post "Remember to http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/ before posting."

Problem booting up laptop after update under FC5
by ArcosCom Linux User 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

I updated a laptop (yum update) without problems, but when rebooting, the laptop stop in "Starting udev". I tried adding "1" into grub kernel line with no success. I tried pushing "i" before "starting udef" with no success. Taking a view into /etc/udev/rules.d directory in another FC5 machine, I can see that (in the other machine) exists "alsa.rules" files, modified in march 20. Could anybody help me please? Any kernel parameter to help me diagnose the problem? The laptop has no cd-rom, only floppy disk and usb ports. I'm creating a SLAX BOOTABLE PENDRIVE to allow me boot the laptop and make changes into the system by hand, but I don't know how to diagnose udev locks. Please, I need help to solve this problem, I need the laptop to work. Thanks

Limit on SCSI Adapter Numbers?
by John Penk 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

Hello - I posted earlier this week but believe I used the wrong terminology in asking my question. I am using FC6. Q: Is there a limit on the number of SCSI adapter numbers that can be given out? If so, what happens when the limit is reached? When I say SCSI adapter number, I am referring to the number I see in /proc/scsi/scsi in the 'Host' field. Example: [john(a)xx.xx john]$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi304 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: AT921093 Model: 1AS Rev: 3.01 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 So in this case the number is 304. Everytime I plug in a new device, the number gets incremented. Is there a limit? I am going to be plugging in hundreds/thousands of devices without every rebooting my computer. Thanks!
