FYI: ISA sound cards no longer supported
by Kam Leo 04 May '07

04 May '07

If you are using FC6 or FC7 and have problems with sound your problem may be due to the developers removing support for legacy ISA sound cards. The driver for the card will no longer be automatically loaded. I discovered this after filing this bug report, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234021 . If ALSA still supports your card all is not lost. The fix is to manually tell the kernel to load the driver. In my case I edited /etc/rc.local and appended the following two lines: modprobe -r snd-sbawe modprobe snd-sbawe Change snd-sbawe to whatever is appropriate for your system.

system-config-users hangs
by Gene Lapointe 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hey everyone, I have a machine running fc6 and I haven't touched it for awhile. It was originally my desktop but I've set it up to be a LAMP machine as well. I was trying to add a user today using system-config-users, but it never comes up. I tried opening a terminal to see if there was any output, but it just hangs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to set the default system (locale?) encoding
by Steven P. Ulrick 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hello, Everyone I believe that I have made an honest attempt at scouring OpenOffice.org (SRC680_m210 Build 1) to find an easy way to set this. Also, I have had no luck finding an answer on this list or any other reasonably locatable location on the Internet. That being the case, here is my problem. I have used the Sword Project's "diatheke" command to output the Bible into plain text files, divided by chapter and book. If (as an example) I open up "01-Genesis.txt" in KDE's KWrite, Genesis 4:22 looks like this (in the screenshots that follow, keep an eye on the name "Tubal–cain"): http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Genesis422-ss-001.jpg If I do "Insert | File" from within OpenOffice.org, I get the following: http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Genesis422-ss-002.jpg If I open OpenOffice.org and just open the same file referred to in all of these examples, it looks like this: http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Genesis422-ss-003.jpg Then, if I copy and paste the sample verse, book, entire Bible, whatever from KWrite (which displays all occurrences of this "hyphen-like" character correctly) into a new OpenOffice.org text document, it looks like this: http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Genesis422-ss-004.jpg As you can see, this "hyphen-like character" displays correctly in KWrite. Also, it will display correctly in OpenOffice.org IF I copy and paste it from a non-OpenOffice.org application. The verse also correctly displays in gedit. BUT, if I display the same file using abiword, vi, emacs or less, it does not display correctly. In "Tools | Encoding" in KWrite, I have it set to "utf8" So I guess the question is, "What SHOULD my default encoding be set to, and how and where do I set it so that it is respected by all applications?" My system is Fedora Core 6, and my Desktop Environment is KDE (Branch 3.5 compiled from SVN) I wanted to get this off now to give all of you brilliant Ladies & Gentlemen an opportunity to contemplate my issue. In the meantime, I uninstalled the OpenOffice.org that I was running, and I am now downloading and installing the most recent FC6 version of OpenOffice. That should make sure that the playing field is level :) But, this issue is not confined to OpenOffice.org, as stated above. So, this is "probably" either a Fedora Core 6 issue, or an issue with my system.... If you need any more information, please let me know. Steven P.

slow login to ssh trough nat to server
by Rick Lim 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hi there, I have a ssh server sitting behind a nat device, when I ssh in from the internal network its instant. If I login from the internet thru the nat device the ssh login takes about > 30 seconds. I'm sure it must have something to do with either ssh or pam doing a dns lookup. Can't figure out how to fix it, anyone got any suggestions? TIA No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

shouid the kernel-headers package equal "make headers_install"?
by Robert P. J. Day 03 May '07

03 May '07

technically speaking, should the content of the kernel-headers package equal the output of running "make headers_install" on the kernel source tree? or something at least reasonably close? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
