Remote connecting problem
by Jim
Trying to connect remotely to a Linux FC10 box from a FC8 using NX.
NX works without any problems to other Servers. Just this one.
The box I 'm trying to connect to is a FC10/KDE box, that is connected
to Comcast.net through a
Arris TM6020G/CT Modem and below is the error message that I get from NX.
From what I can see in error message it is connecting, but it is having
handshaking problem with the FC10 box.
Error message below.

It did this for me too. Awful.
It used 70% of my CPU trying to watch a film in mplayer, etc. This on a
single-core 2GHz laptop.
But I just found, in /etc/pulse, there was a daemon.conf from September
and a daemon.conf.rpmnew.
The old one had things like:
nice-level -11
realtime-priority = 5
When I swapped to the rmpnew conf file things got much better.

Unable to install F10 with kickstart
by Laszlo BERES
I'm struggling with a strange issue. I'm trying to create a
self-installer environment based on F10, grub, local ISO and kickstart:
- created a /dev/sda5 filesystem and copied the DVD ISO onto this
- extracted the images/install.img file onto /dev/sda5
- created a grub.conf:
title Install F10 kickstart
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz ks=hd:sda1/ks.cfg repo=hd:/dev/sda5:/iso
initrd /initrd.img
- in the kickstart I defined the hd path:
harddrive --partition=/dev/sda5 --dir=/iso
When I started the installer, it stopped almost with the same issue at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473351: anaconda can't find
install.img
Here's the anaconda's relevant log:
09:45:23 INFO : Searching for file on path /tmp/mnt/ks.cfg

(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
But when anaconda asks me and I give exactly the same repo path to it
(sda5, /iso dir), the installation continues well:

Am I wrong?

No ! that's not right ! Of course it is supported. Aliases can be defined anywhere /etc/bashrc, /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d/*, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash-profile ie: in any of the rc files.
Where exactly you put it in, defines whether it would be defined system-wide (in the '/etc/' files), for all bash instances (including scritpts) for a particular user (in the ~/.bashrc) or only for login shells for a particular user (in ~/.bash_profile).
Yunus: After adding the aliases to the file, you need to 'source' it into the current bash session to active the alias:
[steve@laptop ~]$ echo 'alias l="ls -al"' >> ~/.bash_profile
[steve@laptop ~]$ source .bash_profile # or simply ". ~/.bash_profile"
[steve@laptop ~]$ l

gscpa_ov519 flaky in F10
by William John Murray
Hello all,
I have a camera served by the rastageeks ov51x_jpeg
driver. With the advent of 2.6.27 kernels the gspca_ov519 which is in
the system now gets in first. Its a great driver, with cheese or
mplayer, but does not work with evo or kopete, the packages I want.
So I want to re-enable ov51x_jpeg. I blacklist gspca_ov519, fine.
But the device /dev/video0 is enabled with root root crw-rw----
permission, which means I cannot use it :(
I can chown /dev/video each time, but I wanted to do it
once-and-for-all. However, even if I create it in /etc/rc.local it is
overwritten when I plug in the cam.
Can anyone suggest what I should do?
Thank you so much!
Bill

Start->Development->Eclipse and report the result ?

Webcam Issues on F10
by Richard Heck
This kind of issue seems to have been reported in other places, but I
thought I'd try here as well in case anyone had some ideas.
I have an HP webcam that works perfectly in F8. On installing F10,
however, it has completely stopped working. I see similar problems in
cheese, skype, kopete, and even uvccapture. When a program tries to
access the cam, I get errors like:
uvcvideo: Failed to query (1) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : -110 (exp. 26).
And other similar things, depending upon the exact program. Kopete is
the worst offender: It freezes and then crashes when you try to open
Preferences.
I've tried fiddling with the permissions on /dev/video0, but to no avail.

VMware tools install fails in F10- Kernel now hosed.
by RThimble＠century-bank.com
Upgrading Fedora from F8 to F10 using preupgrade in VMware 6.5 was
somewhat painless. Installing vmware tools has been anything but. The
vmware-tools install failed when trying to lock the file system, now the
kernel is hosed. What I need is boot options in grub to not load what
vmware client services did get installed. I am clueless as to if this is
possible or not or what the syntax is to the boot loader. Your help would
be greatly appreciated.
