all softlinks to a given file
by Zoltan Szabo 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

Do you know an easy (fast) way to find all the softlinks to a given file, using Fedora? Example: in case of "S1 -> F, ...., SN -> F" the task is to find S1, ..., SN given file F. Any idea is appreciated, Z.

F7 Googleearth
by Antonio M 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

When I run Googleearth from my updated F7 with Intel Mobile Graphic controller, at 1280x800 my system must be re-booted as I get only flashing black screen, and the only way is by a Ctrl+canc+Del combination or by hard-reboot. Any other experience??? -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag

inet6_rth functions
by Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

Hi, I'm trying to port a tool from solaris 10 to Fedora 7. While running gcc I get some strange errors. Example app: include <netinet/in.h> int main() { const int segments = 100; inet6_rth_space(IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_0, segments); return 0; } While running gcc the following output is created: > $ gcc -Wall -o test test.c > test.c: In function ‘main’: > test.c:5: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘inet6_rth_space’ Under solaris it compiles just fine. Does someone know whats wrong? cheers, Stefan

AB9 Pro Motherboard SATA/AHCI installation problem
by Chris G 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

As I reported here earlier I have installed Fedora 7 on my system with a view to replacing Slackware. In an effort to try and sort out the problems with Fedora 7 stopping I decided to upgrade the BIOS. I have installed the version 21 BIOS for the AB9 Pro and it has caused a very odd problem... After upgrading the BIOS Fedora wouldn't boot any more, it loaded the kernel and then fell in a crumpled heap unable to see the disks. I thought this might be because the SATA interface needed to be switched to AHCI mode but on doing this the disks are no longer visible at all at boot time so the system refuses to even start booting. So I have set the SATA disks back to IDE mode, and noticed that my old Slackware installation still boots (using the grub loader installed by Fedora!). Why does my Slackware still boot when Fedora can't seem to see the disks at all? -- Chris Green

29 Sep '07

I don't when the problem begin but my scanner worked fine when i first install F-7. Now when i try to use it it's very very long ... When i plug my usb scanner i obtain this in dmesg : usb 3-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 usb 3-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice When i launch xsane i can select my scanner and i obtain this in dmesg : ppdev: user-space parallel port driver ppdev0: registered pardevice ppdev0: unregistered pardevice ppdev1: claim the port first ppdev2: claim the port first ppdev3: claim the port first usb 3-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 When i select my usb scanner in xsane, xsane spend at least 60s to be operational and after that when i ask a scan xsane spend at least 60s before beginning the scan. What could be the problem ? Thanks Eric

Decent graphics card with TV out
by Dotan Cohen 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

I won't make the same mistake twice. I'm replacing the desktop machine, and I need a graphics card that does these things: 1) Has working TV-out in Fedora 2) Runs GoogleEarth 3) Runs Compiz I'm on a real budget here, and I'll probably buy off ebay as local supply is rather limited. I'll buy off list members if someone has a relevant card lying around. Any suggestions as to which cards are good, and your experience with them, would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Karl, I use a Seagate 320 gig ES SATA drive. This is a 3 Gb/sec drive BUT - it was shipped with a jumper installed limiting it to half that rate, and this rate is in any case a very optimistic one. Using hdparm as suggested consistently gives me 78 MB/sec. That seems to be as good as it gets. Also this is a very artificial figure, I have an old (about ten years) 9 gig SCSI drive that does about half that. It seems that the recent addition of NCQ to SATA drives makes more of an improvement in heavily loaded scenarios but quantifying this is not simple or unambiguous. I want to try reconfiguring this setup in raid 0 but won't be able to do so for a while. I know that another recent Seagate drive, their 400G ATA gives transfer rates using hdparm -tT of about 50 MB/sec. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:10:19 -0500 From: "Arthur Pemberton" Subject: Re: How to rip a DVD To: "For users of Fedora" Message-ID: <16de708d0709281410m5dfa0e01s1856c5ab8489bf59(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 9/27/07, Marcelo Magno T.

Instead, I downloaded the XP drivers from Compaq / HP and extracted the firmware files instead using bcm43xx-fwcutter ( instead of b43-fwcutter ) .... which produced the file that the b43 driver was looking for ( /lib/firmware/bcm43xx_microcode5.fw ) and other firmware files. So why was the b43 driver looking for a firmware file that cannot be produced by b43-fwcutter ( but produced by bcm43xx-fwcutter ) ? Does this mean I am using a v3 firmware ? ... but I though b43 driver is only for v4 firmware ? So I am confused as per above... John

gnome pilot breaks jpilot
by Paul Erickson 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

After using Jpilot successfully for some time. I decided to try gnome pilot with evolution, without success. In the process gnome pilot has broken jpilot. I have tried removing gpilot etc. and removed and reinstalled jpilot but I still get the error message below when I try to sync with Jpilot: pi_accept Illegal seek Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_PI_ACCEPT Finished Anyone know how I can restore jpilot to its original function? Thanks in advance. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- cheers, Paul - VA7NT - email: va7nt(a)telus.net "Those who hear not the music, think the dancers mad." “Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.” - Thomas Mann "That state which separates it's warriors from it's scholars will have it's thinking done by cowards and fighting done by fools" - Thucydides - The Pelopenisia "The Malice of the wicked is reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous." - Churchill
