Yum on x86_64
by Gareth Bult 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi, I seem to have (finally :) ) acquired a complete(ish) / working x86_64 system .. but I'm still having trouble with a few bits, not least "yum". I get; Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Unreleased Updates Finding updated packages Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 60, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "yummain.py", line 204, in main File "clientStuff.py", line 363, in getupdatedhdrlist File "clientStuff.py", line 409, in bestversion IndexError: list index out of range [root@squizzey oddjob]# (This is a modified system [2.6.0-test11] however it seems to run well) Pointing it at mozilla's channel for SeaMonkey seems to work if I disable the default channels, however... Anyone any ideas ? (I was sort of expecting to see it say "no x86_64 updates supported yet" as opposed to a complete crash) Also, can yum pull SRPMS and rebuild them ? tia Gareth.

RocketRAID 1740 driver for Fedora 7
by Ranbir 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Hello Everyone, I have a rocketraid 1740 controller that I want to use in a soon to be installed Fedora 7 system. Highpoint's website doesn't have any Fedora 7 drivers, but they do provide a package that will let end users build the rr1740x module for any 2.4 or 2.6 series kernel. How would one build the rr1740x module for Fedora 7 if one doesn't have a Fedora 7 system to build the driver on? Can I install the kernel-devel package from Fedora 7 on a Fedora 6 host, and build the module that way? Should I use a Fedora 7 virtual machine (e.g. vmware, xen, etc.)?

Re: sandisk sansa m240

----- Original Message ---- From: Michael A Peters <mpeters(a)mac.com> To: Fedora-list <fedora-list(a)redhat.com> Sent: Friday, September 7, 2007 12:09:22 PM Subject: sandisk sansa m240 I bought a sansa mdisk 240 I can not figure out how to get a playlist on it. I can get music on it and play the music I get onto it - but not a playlist. I use a shell script to copy files to it - since my mp3's sometimes have very long file names. When they are copied to the sansa they have names 001.MP3 002.MP3 etc. It does not play them by file name alphabetical order, I can't figure out what it does to figure out default play order. I tried copying a very basic .m3u playlist to it - 001.MP3 002.MP3 003.MP3 I can see the playlist in the sansa but it reports no files when I select a playlist. USB settings are set to MSC Has anyone figured out how to get a playlist onto a sansa m240? I'm almost wondering if it is something silly like wanting the playlist to have DOS line breaks - but before I play around too much, I thought I'd ask if anyone else has done it. my iPod mini broke :( That was easy to use in Linux (gtkpod) - but I don't want to buy another iPod until they make one with a user serviceable battery. I have the e280 and I've been struggling with this myself. The playlist format is a specially-formatted UTF-16LE text file. I don't like that either. I mount mine as a plain USB disk and then use a couple of Python scripts I hand-rolled to create playlists. I actually started writing a little GUI for myself using Qt, but I didn't finish it. Maybe this weekend...

Thunderbird and Snapshot
by Paul Lemmons 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

I am almost certain I have done this before but I am getting old and may be imagining things. I have opened up a new message in Thunderbird (latest and greatest). I have verified that the format is "Rich Text (HTML)". I go to KSnapShot and snap a section of the screen and click on the "Copy to Clipboard" button. I then try to paste it into the note and it simply does nothing. Am I missing something? I would like to paste an image into a note to send as documentation to someone. -- Murphy Says: Real programmers don't eat muffins

sensors applet
by Bill Davidsen 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Still not working for me with the 2.6.22 kernel. I believe it's 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 and the similar latest in fc6. It works with the 2.6.2[01] kernels... just looking for feedback, the sendors command works after rerunning sensors-find. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Power management on intel i945 video chipset
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

People, I have a Centrino notebook with intel i945 video chipset and power management has been a little of a problem lately. If I use the xorg i810 driver, I can control LCD brightness correctly and I can suspend to RAM, but I can't resume after a suspend. The LCD will not turn on again. I had this problem in FC6 and corrected it altering the suspend and resume scripts to save the state of LCD brightness to a file when suspending and reading it back when resuming. In FC6, this information was in /proc/acpi/asus/brn and the functions for suspending and resuming were in /etc/pm/functions-intel. In F7, I have the same problem with i810 driver (can't resume after suspending, LCD does not turn on), but there's no /proc/acpi/asus/brn and I couldn't find the suspend/resume functions. So I tried the new intel driver. After booting, it allows me to adjust LCD brightness as I wish, and it turns on the LCD correctly after suspending/resuming. However, once I've done a suspend/resume, the LCD brightness is set to maximum and I can't adjust it anymore, unless I reboot. Anyone has this working 100% on a intel i945 video chipset? How did you do it? Thanks, Marcelo

Belkin Wireless G USB
by John Pierce 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hello! I posted this to the linux wireless list and have received not response. I thought maybe someone on the fedora list might have had some success. I just purchased a belkin wireless g usb adapter and am not having any luck getting it to work. The following is the output from various commands, if more info is needed then I will post it back. Distro: Fedora 7 Kernel: 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 I have created a ifcfg-wlan0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts with the following: GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 TYPE=Wireless DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=static NETMASK=255.255.255.0 IPADDR=192.168.1.60 ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=yes IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes ESSID=thedungeon CHANNEL=11 MODE=Managed RATE=Auto SECURITYMODE=open I have a keys-wlan0 file in that same directory with the wep key for my router. I set up a file named zd1211 in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory with the following in it. alias wlan0 zd1211rw_mac80211 This is the output of dmesg immediately after inserting the usb adapter. usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 wmaster0: Failed to select rate control algorithm wmaster0: Failed to initialize rate control algorithm usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 zd1211rw_mac80211: probe of 2-2:1.0 failed with error -2 usbcore: registered new interface driver zd1211rw_mac80211 This is the output of lsusb after inserting the adapter. Bus 002 Device 007: ID 050d:705c Belkin Components Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 15d9:0a33 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 When I try the run ifup wlan0 this is the output. zd1211rw_mac80211 device wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. Every thing I have read indicates that this device is supported in linux, including the vendor and device id. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org

Asus p4p800 deluxe BROKEN INSTALL on FC5- FC6-FC7
by Randy Ramsdell 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Ok nice to be right back in the EXACT same position I was in several years ago regarding this motherboard and installing FC. I think it was FC3 that this first became an issue, but I was able to work around it and install FC. So now, I tried to install FC6/7 and I yet to find a way to get it installed. So now it has been a year or so without being able to run Fedora/CentOS. Please help as I really don't want to use Ubunto and especially not Suse. Anyone have an issue installing on the Asus board? Trying to install causes a seg fault when dealing with the hard drives either in BIOS setting compatibility mode or SATA mode. Anaconda shows the hard drives as "/dev/mapper" or something like that, but as you know, they should appear as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. All I ever see is a single "/dev/mapper" which suggests that Anaconda sees a raid array even after I fdisk the drives. Of coarse this also rendered the system unusable after the seg fault resulted in a reboot.
