RAID10 not working in install
by Bill Davidsen
I was doing a new install (reinstall) of FC8 Unity and when I tried to
configure the disks and partitions I put a software RAID partition on
one drive, and another of the same size on the other drive, and then
told the installer to make them RAID10. I got back a message that at
least four drives are needed for RAID10.
I then booted a rescue disk, created the array with mdadm, and went back
to the install. Very manual, and not the type of thing many people would
be comfortable doing. Does work, though.
So the question is, what is the installer trying to tell me? By any
chance did someone not understand that RAID10 and RAID1+0 are totally
different things? Or what.
Good news: for the very first time the network install worked, which it
very much didn't using the original FC8 DVD+install CD "back when." I
used NFS mount, I suppose I'll try HTTP at some point, but for now I'm
happy that something worked.

ATI DRIVER installation problems - asking for help.
by Ivan Evstegeneev
Hello guys!
Ok that's my story (its a little bit long but describes all the
picture):
Once upon a time I decided to install ATI driver on my Acer TravelMate
4602WLMI, which works with ATI Mobility Radeon X600.
So I went to ATI site and downloaded linux driver for my FC8.
I installed it on my laptop, but something got wrong, as I can remember the
problem was caused by version of kernel, it wasn't suitable or
something like that.
Since I'm new to linux and don't know how handle that kind of stuff I've decided
simply to remove it from laptop and look around for some easier way
of installation.
I found this site: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#radeon
Which explains how exactly I can do it:
"yum install kmod-fglrx"
and then enable 3D support:
"init 3"
"fglrx-config-display enable"
"reboot"
The process has started and at the end yum returned me a message:
"Error: ati-x11-drv conflicts with xorg-x11-drv-fglrx"
At this point some feeling of "not completely un-installed previous
driver" started to rise inside me.
That feeling made me to check if there some files (packages) left at
the system. After checking my yumex I found a "xorg-x11-drv-ati"
package, and removed it. At this point the "catch" appeared.
Yum has removed not only "xorg-x11-drv-ati" but "xorg-x11-drivers"
too.
Somehow it looked nice to me cause my thought was:"now I haven't any
package that can interfere my installation.
I rebooted my laptop and got into "init 3" black screen. Of course I
saw the message that told about "no x11 drivers installed".
I tried "yum install kmod-fglrx" command one more time, and was very
surprised when I saw the same error about driver confrontation.
So now I have init 3 mode for work and have no ATI driver installed
:))
Please if anyone knows how fix this issue I will be glad to hear the
answer.
Also if you don't mind, I would like to know which steps (that I made)
were lame. Where did I wrong?
Sincerely,
Ivan.

Group for screen command.
by Mark Haney
What group does a regular user need to be part of in Fedora to use the
'screen' command? I can probably sudo it, but thought there was a group
I could add the user to that would allow it. Am I wrong?

OT: Problem reading 2GB SD card
by awrobinson-ml＠nc.rr.com
Got a new digital camera. Got a 2GB secure digital card. Filled it up
with pics. When I tried to read the pics on the built-in SD slot on my
laptop running FC6, I could only access about half the images. I figured
I had a bad card so I bought another, from a different manufacturer as
it happens. I filled the card with pics on the camera. When I tried to
read it on the laptop, I could only access about half the images. I put
the card back in the camera and could see all the images. This time I
figured it was a software problem.
I doubt this is a Fedora problem. But I was hoping someone on the list
could point me to either a solution or a search string. So far all I've
come up with are forums on merchant sites.
Thanks!

missing base url for livna
by charles f. zeitler
when i use kyum i get a: *** Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: livna.
livna.repo shows:
[livna]

failovermethod=priority
enabled=1

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

hmmm... no base url there!
so i renamed livna.repo & re-installed the "repository" rpm,
and the new livna.repo is the same.
any pointers?
thanx,

php map software
by Michael A. Peters
I'm curious as to whether or not anyone is aware of existing php code to
plot data on a map.
Specifically - I'd like to divide the county I live in into hexagons,
feed various GPS coordinates to the php script, and the hexagon
containing the long/lat coordinated gets filled in (entire hexagon).
Purpose is to make a range map within my county of confirmed wild
reptiles/amphibians by species without providing the precise coordinates
for where the specimen was found.
I'm hoping there is already some existing php code I can adapt for this
kind of thing (hexagons are better than squares for this type of thing,
but I'm guessing a little more complex in the math to figure out which
hexagon a coordinate belongs to).
Any pointers appreciated.

Automounting MP3 Player
by Dave Cross
I have an iRiver MP3 player. Previously, when I have attached it to my
Fedora system, it has been automatically recognised and mounted and an
icon has appeared on the desktop.
Just now when I plugged it in, I didn't get any of that happening. I
still got the following messages in /var/log/messages
Feb 25 21:25:15 giles kernel: usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using

And I can still get access to the player by manually mounting
/dev/sdc5 to the appropriate directory. But it used to be an automatic
process and I'd like to get that functionality back.
I recently did a clean installation of Fedora 8 onto this system. I'm
pretty sure that it has worked since the upgrade (but I can't be 100%
sure of that).
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave...

F8: Some deprecated udev-related file
by Oliver Ruebenacker
Dear friends,
Since I ugraded from F7 to F8, whenever I boot I see some message
about udev saying that some file is deprecated and some other file
should be somehow used. Applying the updates did not change anything
about that.
Is this serious? Should I do anything about it and if so, what?
I don't remember the names of the files. I tried to find the boot
messages, but from what I understand after some web searching is that
boot messages are not stored anywhere since FC4.
Thank you for your help.
Take care
Oliver
