Xine-lib=1.1.5 dependency -- now what do I do ??
by Bill Case 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hi; Yum returns that before I can upgrade Xine I need Xine-lib=1.1.5 as a dependency. I have never seen anything written as Xine-lib=1.1.5 (with the = sign) before. However imaginatively write a yum install command using Xine-lib=1.1.5, with and without the livna repo, I can get no joy from yum. Now what do I do? By the way is yumex ever going to produce a help manual? -- Regards Bill

Can't update openoffice.org-core
by Ranbir 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hello, I keep a local mirror of Fedora Core 6 updates, and point my home PCs to use the local mirror. It's worked without fail for many months. Recently, an openoffice update was released, but whenever I try to update my two FC6 computers, I get this error: (1/1): openoffice.org-cor 100% |=========================| 88 MB 00:09 http://10.19.75.200/mirror/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/openoffice.org-…: [Errno -1] Package does not match intended download Trying other mirror. Error Downloading Packages: openoffice.org-core - 1:2.0.4-5.5.22.i386: failure: openoffice.org-core-2.0.4-5.5.22.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. The "other mirror" error makes sense because the repo file only has the URL for the local mirror, so yum can't find any others. That's fine by me. It's the damn "[Errno -1] Package does not match intended download" that I don't understand. I've tried the following on the computers that are doing the update: yum clean all yum clean packages yum clean metadata yum clean headers I've tried rsynching the local mirror to the remote rsync server. I've even deleted the entire updates folder, and rsynched it to a different Fedora Core mirror. But, I keep getting the error. I just installed Fedora Core 6 on a second laptop. I've done nothing to it yet except install the distro and create one user. yum on that laptop spits out the same error. I don't know what's wrong. I also haven't seen anyone complain about this on the list, so I'm assuming it's a problem unique to my little home network. Here's the script I use to update the local repo (run in /etc/cron.daily): # Fedora Core 6 rsync -aHP --exclude=debug --exclude=repodata --exclude=*langpack* \ --exclude=kde-i18n* --exclude=m17n-db* --delete \ --delete-excluded fedora.cs.wisc.edu::fedora-linux-core/updates/6/i386/ \ /srv/intranet/iso-images/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386 createrepo -q -c /var/www/localrepo-cache/fedora/6 /srv/intranet/iso-images/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/ Does anyone have any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Postfix relay problem
by Luc MAIGNAN 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hi all, my mail server provides an stmp access. I thought I've configured it to deny relay. It is true when I try basically to send a mail to another domain. But some persons seem to bypass this policy using themself a relay domain :: 24BDEE7918: to=<donna(a)go4extreme.com>, relay=smtp1.msp.securence.com[216.17.3.48]:25, delay=3.3, delays=0.02/0.01/1.2/2.1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 OK, queued as <20070429143657.24BDEE7918@ How can I deny these mails, and deny use of another relay ? Many thanks --

control-center?
by Michael Klinosky 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

While perusing Package Manager, I noticed that 'GNOME Control Center' is installed (by default). (Filename is control-center.) What does it do? How do I access it? Didn't see it in the applications or system menus, and running it in a terminal didn't work (even as 'su -').

Trying to Burn FC6 one cd installation
by Isamar Maia 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hi Folks I am trying to customize FC6 installation with a minimum of packages. I tried to install the system with no option packages at first but, even so, It requires CD 1 and CD 4. Is there anyway to make a FC6 installation with only CD1 ? Anybody knows which packages of CD4 is being required in the "minimal" installation or how to check it out? Best Regards, Isamar

tx_flow_control_pause NIC => WRT54G
by Jorge Luis 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

My NIC (Intel 100VE) is set to 100baseT/Full (autoneg off) running into a Linksys WRT54G with the latest stock firmware. I'm getting some high numbers in tx_flow_control_pause. Ideally, ethtool should return a 0 for that line, I believe. Does anyone have any clues as to why this might be happening? Outbound hops in traceroute don't show any undue latency in the first hop, but the (outside) network is a bit bursty. ifconfig shows no errors. The box is running FC6, stock kernel. On a related note, in Linux, should the MTU on the NIC be set to match the MTU of the router (1492), or should I leave it at 1500? Thanks for any help, Jorge Luis [root@satyr ~]# ethtool -S eth0 NIC statistics: rx_packets: 1067 tx_packets: 1241 rx_bytes: 311358 tx_bytes: 112179 rx_errors: 0 tx_errors: 0 rx_dropped: 0 tx_dropped: 0 multicast: 0 collisions: 0 rx_length_errors: 0 rx_over_errors: 0 rx_crc_errors: 0 rx_frame_errors: 0 rx_fifo_errors: 0 rx_missed_errors: 0 tx_aborted_errors: 0 tx_carrier_errors: 0 tx_fifo_errors: 0 tx_heartbeat_errors: 0 tx_window_errors: 0 tx_deferred: 0 tx_single_collisions: 0 tx_multi_collisions: 0 tx_flow_control_pause: 64560 rx_flow_control_pause: 0 rx_flow_control_unsupported: 0 tx_tco_packets: 0 rx_tco_packets: 0 [root@satyr ~]# [root@satyr ~]# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2094 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2932 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:426358 (416.3 KiB) TX bytes:254330 (248.3 KiB) -- Jorge Luis González <lists(a)jorge.cc> GPG KEY -> 0x65751721

Re: questions about installing fedora via http

29 Apr '07

Thufir: > You can do a http (or ftp) install from the rescue cd, by the way, which > is what I've used so far (that way I have a rescue-cd). I have FC 6 now. Can I install Fedora 7 over the 'net? I have FC 6's Rescue CD, but I think that it'll allow only a FC 6 install (not F 7) - correct?
