B&W Awstats Reports
by elk dolk 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi all, I have installed Awstats-6.8 on my Linux PC (FC 9) .I copy access log files from server to my Linux PC In /var/log directory and the www.mydomain.conf file is in /etc/awstats directory. I generate reports in static HTML pages from the command line in /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin directory . Everything works fine but I seem to miss the beautiful icons! they don’t show in my reports. That means Awstats can not find /icon directory It is in /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/icon In the conf. file I have : DirIcons=”/icon” There is this comment in the conf. file : # Relative or absolute web URL of your awstats icon directory. # If you build static reports ("... -output > outputpath/output.html"), enter # path of icon directory relative to the output directory 'outputpath'. # Example: "/awstatsicons" # Example: "../icon" # Default: "/icon" (means you must copy icon directories in "/mywwwroot/icon") can someone tell me where should I put the /icon directory so that awstats can find it?

Preupgrade on Fedora-7
by Timothy Murphy 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

I just resurrected an old computer running Fedora-7. I ran "yum update" and it successfully updated 420 packages, amounting to 850MB. But when I yum-installed preupgrade, and then ran preupgrade, I got the error: ----------------------------------------------------- [tim@harriet yum.repos.d]$ sudo preupgrade Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 19, in <module> import gtk File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 76, in <module> _init() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 64, in _init _gtk.init_check() RuntimeError: could not open display ----------------------------------------------------- I didn't really expect preupgrade to upgrade this machine to Fedora-10; but why is it offered if it doesn't work?

USB ehci_hcd where?
by Peter Boy 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

I just upgraded my Thinkpad T40p from F9 to F10. I suffer from the well known USB bug. Each time I connect a memory stick I get the message usb 1-4: new high speed USB debice using ehci_hcd ... hub 1-0:1.0 unable to enumerate USB device on port 4 (repeated) and device is not mounted. In F9 I could remove the module ehci_hcd and the stick mounted. In F10 ehci_hcd is not in the module list. Does someone know what happend to it and how I can remove it? Thanks Peter

Kaffeine does not play divx nor flv videos in F10
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi, In F10, neither Kaffeine nor Dragon Player are able to play divx and flv videos. The sound is played, but not the image. However, KPlayer can play the same videos. What can I do to make Kaffeine play theses videos (it did in F9)? I have xine-lib-extras-freeworld installed. Thanks, Marcelo

Losing the network -- why?
by SternData 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was hoping this would get better with F10, but no such luck. For the last several months, my wireless network just stops. Sometimes it stays up for days, sometimes for just a few hours. The system tray gadget shows a red X. I can restart the network with 'service network restart', but I can't find any errors in any log files indicating why the network stopped in the first place.

Yum F9 --> F10, still old F9 packages
by Colin Brace 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi all, For reasons I don't entirely understand, neither preupgrade nor the DVD worked for me, so I ended up upgrading from F9 to F10 by means of yum. Now I have enabled the rpmfusion repos, but I can't upgrade the relevent packages from that repo as there is a dependency problem with the F9 version of avidemux installed: an older x264 library. When I try to delete avidemux using RPM, the latter hangs every time, and I have to kill it in a second terminal. Any tricks for getting rid of stubborn old packages? The command 'package-cleanup --orphans' (from yum utils) indicates there are a couple hundred fc9 packages still on my system, but doesn't offer a way of removing them. Is there some other way of getting rid of them in one operation? Also, w.r.t rpmfusion, yum keeps quitting with an error message some but not all of the time: "Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free" Anyone else seeing this? Thanks. ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Yum-F9---%3E-F10%2C-still-old-F9-packages-tp20760346p… Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

F10: no dpms default?
by Tom Horsley 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Here's an oddity: After switching to f10 I noticed my monitor was never turning off. I checked "xset q" and it says the dpms settings are "0 0 0" (which disables dpms). Anyway, I've put a "xset dpms 0 0 600" in my startup scripts and should be OK now, but I'm not sure why the default seems to be different. (Perhaps something to do with not running either gnome or KDE, but I wasn't running them on F8 either and still got dpms turning off the monitor).
