FC6 - gnome-terminal
by Ken Dyke 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

FYI, A recent update broke gnome-terminal. Error message libvte.so.4 file not found. Creating a symlink /usr/lib/libvte.so.4 -> /usr/lib/libvte.so.9.7.1 fixed it. P.S. If you want me to see a reply to this message include my addr in the cc: Thank you, -- I reason and act, therefore, ken_i_m "Doing my part to spread the free and open software (FOSS) memes".

Linux for old laptop?
by Chu Jeang Tan 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

My friend has the following laptop: CPU: Pentium 2 266MHz Memory: 256MB Hard drive: 4gb How would you setup a usable Linux system on this? It should be able to run web browser, open office suite, IM, play MP3, various video formats. Is Fedora a good choice for low powered system? I'd think gnome may be too heavyweight WM and KDE might be a better option. Note that this is for a novice and probably would prefer to configure stuffs through UI rather than text editors. -- Chu Jeang Tan chujtan(a)gmail.com

Could not connect to gmail in fedora 6? and Could not run YUM
by frank wang 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hi, I am running fedora 5 and fedora 6 on vmware at the same host machine. I could get on the internet from fedora 6. However, if I tried to get to www.gmail.com, firefox just timed out. I do not have any problem on fedora 5. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? At the same time, I still could not use yum to update the fedora 6. The error message is: Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrolist?repo=core-6&arch=i386 error was [Error 4] IOError: <ulropen error (110, .....)> Error: cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core Could any help to fix this also? I really need to get the kernel-devel package to compile the vmtoolbox. Thanks Frank

Postfix auths, Cyrus-IMAP not

Hi list Package mix: FC4 patched to date cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-6 postfix-2.2.2-2 cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-6 web-cyradm-0.5.4-1 (Essentially a light-but-very-efficient-and-secure SMTP/IMAP mix with MySQL database lookups :-) So far I'm able to log in to Web-CyrAdm and create accounts (which indicates saslauthd/pam/cyradm-writes/MySQL lookups and authing functioning properly), send email via telneting into the SMTP using the CLI (which indicates saslauthd/pam/MySQL lookups and authing functioning properly), but for some obscure reason I still can't log into the IMAP server at all. I've Googled, examined the the config files a few times, and was hoping that someone would would be able to advise why IMAP isn't authing either via email client or web interface :-) Error message is: badlogin: localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] plaintext user.domain.tld SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed Have great day!

05 Apr '07

Hello, I have bought Epatecs workstations 3800 and connected them to an installation of K12Ltsp-fedora.

Does anybody knows what is going on. On the same port an Epatec 2300 works fine. Thanks for help -- Roland Brouwers

smart gone wild
by Ric Moore 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

smart keeps trying to update packages from atrpms when the fedora repos would do just fine, and atrpms seems to be down. I'm trying to beat smart like a white mouth mule into NOT using atrpms so I can finish up a half baked update. I've unchecked it, set it to priority -3 and it still goes there like a dog to it's vomit trying to update the open office packages from atrpms and freezes up. (Biblically speaking here) It's making me nuts. I don't even see the openoffice packages there, yet this damn thing insists on using the site. What gives? Is there a shiny red button to push? I know "red" isn't a good color to push, but I'm at that stage. This is maddening and I'm about half crazed anyway.

yum-presto - fast updates for Fedora 7
by Valent Turkovic 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Please go to: http://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/presto and help beta test yum-presto. Q: What is yum-presto? A: If you used updated on SUSE or Mandriva then you already know of this feature. It is an update which doesn't download the whole RPM package but only the difference between old and new RPM packages. Q: Why use yum-presto? A: I run a few machines with Fedora, some which I update regularly, and some not so much. When I come to the machine which I haven't updated in a few weeks there are usually around 100-200MB of updates! Even though I have a broadband connection, it still takes a LOT of time to download all of the updated packages. Yum-presto uses deltarpms which give you only the difference between the old package which you already have and the new one you want. So downloads are significantly smaller and a lot quicker. Please help support this project so it goes through beta testing and gets full support in Fedora 7. This project needs you!
